Topics getting the most attention in Phoenixville public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
3 issues in public safety with medium priority

Council swore in Officer Brett Sneeringer, authorized a conditional offer to another patrol officer candidate, and approved $13,000 for a new Civil Service eligibility list — all to keep up with retirements and resignations on the force.
