Reorganization meeting and work session for Forks supervisors will be held Monday instead of Thursday.
The Forks Township Board of Supervisors usually meets the first and third Thursdays of the month. But with a reorganization on the agenda, the board will gather this Monday instead. Forks Township Manager John Cornell said state law dictates that when a municipality must reorganize, the first Monday of the year is mandatory unless it falls on a holiday.

At the reorganization meeting, the board is expected to name its president and vice president for 2013.
