As a plan is being discussed, a member of Council actually gets out of his seat and shows the public exactly what is under discussion on an easel located in the front of the room.
In addition to this effort, the agenda item under discussion appears on a screen behind the dais.
This might seem like a minor matter to you, but it makes a major difference during a meeting, keeping one and all on the same page. It's also very transparent.

Unforunately based on comments - no one cares.
SHAME!!!!!!
Not sure what meeting you were at, but I have never seen this happen at a Lower Saucon Township Council Meeting. I have never seen any council member get out of their seat, only the person/s representing the peron who wants something approved. Once and awhile if the township zoning officer is there, he will if clearification is needed.
Usually the easel you speak of is turned so members of the public cannot see what is going on. The township is one of the least transparent at public meetings. They don't want to print anything on paper, like Northampton County Council does,and does not put many things up on the Computer screen/projector. One would think since council President, Glenn Kern's company was paid to put this system in, they would use it more. Bernie, spend some more time at Lower Saucon Township meeting and you will see the truth.
I'll be back.
