Add an item on the home page like " Receive notices of Township activities that affect me"
Everyone complains about not getting information in a timely manner. Although perfect communication is a bit like chasing the holy grail, I think that the above link would be useful. Clicking on the link would take the user to Twiitter, Facebook, subscribing to an e-mail..et cetera. I know that Twitter, Facebook and Pininterest are at the bottom of the page, but they are (a) too hidden and (b) not necessarily something that everyone wants to sign up for. Not everyone even knows how to use facebook or twitter.
A separate, prominent link would communicate that you're offering communication options.

Thank you for your comments. We have made some changes that should assist with communication that includes adding two areas regarding subscribing to our newsletter in the “I want to...” section, adding a call to action banner that will take you to the eNewsletter subscription and we have added a "Subscribe" button to the main page.
