Any township officer or employee who has a substantial financial
interest, direct or indirect, or by reason of ownership of stock in
any corporation in any contract with the township, or in the sale
of any land, material, supplies or services to the township, or to
a contractor supplying the township, shall make known that interest
and shall refrain from voting upon or otherwise participating in his
capacity as a township officer or employee in the making of such sale
or in the making or performance of such contract. Any township officer
or employee who wilfully conceals such a substantial financial interest
or wilfully violates the requirements of this section shall be guilty
of malfeasance in office or position and shall forfeit his office
or position. Violation of this section with the knowledge express
or implied of the person or corporation contracting with or making
a sale to the township shall render the contract or sale voidable
by the township manager or the township board of supervisors.

charter.
If any provision of this charter is held invalid, the other
provisions of the charter shall not be affected thereby. If the application
of the charter or any of its provisions to any person or circumstance
is held invalid, the application of the charter and its provisions
to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.
