Mifflinburg Civil Service Commission Reorganization Meeting Feb. 2 at 8:30 AM

The Mifflinburg Civil Service Commission will meet publicly at 8:30 AM on Feb. 2 in the Mifflinburg Municipal Building, 120 North Third Street. The borough posted notice Jan. 16 that the purpose of the session is to re-organize the commission and to address any other business that comes before it.

Reorganization meetings typically establish commission leadership, adopt meeting schedules, and confirm procedures that guide how the commission operates. For Mifflinburg residents, those procedural choices can shape how the borough handles civil-service matters, including personnel processes and transparency around municipal staffing decisions. Given the commission's role in overseeing rules that affect hiring and promotions, the outcome of this meeting has practical implications for public safety staffing and the administration of borough services.

The meeting is open to the public, providing residents an opportunity to observe the formation of the commission's agenda and governance for the year ahead. Community members who want to attend should plan for an early-morning start time and for a meeting held in the municipal building on North Third Street. Those with accessibility needs are encouraged to contact the Borough Manager at (570) 966-1013 to request auxiliary aides, services, or other accommodations to participate.

The borough includes the meeting notice and contact information on its website at mifflinburgborough.org/2026/01/16/civil-service-commission-meeting-to-be-held-february-02-2026/. Citizens following local governance should note that reorganization items often set the tone for how proactively a commission will administer its responsibilities, how transparent meetings will be, and how accessible decision-making processes are to the public.

For voters and stakeholders in Union County, commission reorganization is one of the quieter but consequential steps in local government. It affects the institutional framework that governs staff selection and review, and it can influence how quickly the borough responds to staffing needs or policy changes. Attendance or close attention to the meeting record gives residents direct insight into who is steering those processes and how they will be managed going forward.

What comes next is routine: the commission will adopt its internal structure and proceed with any additional business on its agenda. Residents interested in outcomes should review the borough's meeting minutes after Feb. 2 or contact the Borough Manager for follow up information and any decisions made at the reorganization meeting.
