Middletown Township's Board of Supervisors convened on April 17, 2023, to address key community matters, including the proclamation of April as Local Government Month and the recognition of retiring police officers for their dedicated service.

The meeting commenced with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a roll call of board members and township officials. Township Manager Mestilli Koolz and other department heads were present to support the discussions.

In a significant move, the Board proclaimed April 2023 as Local Government Month in Middletown Township. This designation aligns with the Pennsylvania General Assembly's recognition of the week of April 10-14 as Local Government Week. The proclamation emphasizes the vital services local governments provide, such as law enforcement, public health, and recreational opportunities. The Board committed to promoting civic education and engagement to strengthen community ties and inspire future local government participation.

The meeting also featured heartfelt tributes to two retiring officers. Officer Glenn McPherson was honored for his 25 years of service on the Bucks County South Central Special Emergency Response Team (CERT), where he played a crucial role since its inception in 1998. His leadership and dedication were celebrated with a plaque recognizing his contributions.

Additionally, Sergeant Michael Lubold was acknowledged for his 33.5 years of service with the Middletown Township Police Department, having officially retired on March 31, 2023. His extensive career and commitment to the community were highlighted as the Board expressed gratitude for his service.

These recognitions not only honor the individuals but also reflect the township's commitment to acknowledging the hard work of its public servants. The next Board of Supervisors meeting is scheduled for May 1, 2023, at 7 PM, where further community matters will be discussed.
