The Pocono Township Board of Commissioners held a regular meeting on August 3, 2020. The meeting included public comments, announcements, and discussions on various topics. A resident, George Krauss, expressed concerns about a neighboring pig and chicken farm with numerous zoning violations. The board encouraged residents to respond to the 2020 Census and sign up for the township newsletter.

The board considered a presentation by Northridge at Camelback, which requested temporary parking as a modification of their Certificate of Occupancy. The board approved the request with conditions.

The board also held hearings on Ordinance 2020-05, which amends the junkyard ordinance, and Ordinance 2020-06, which amends the amusement tax. The board adopted Ordinance 2020-05 but did not hold a hearing on Ordinance 2020-06 due to an error in advertising.

Presentations were made on the 2019 audit and the Q2 financial report. The board accepted the audit and noted the township's stable financial position.

The board approved resolutions to submit grant applications for the SR 611/Rimrock Drive Intersection Project and to purchase equipment for the Pocono Township Volunteer Fire Department.
