ELECTED OFFICIALS
The township officials are three trustees and a township fiscal officer who are elected to four-year staggered terms, one trustee and fiscal officer being elected in one odd-numbered year and the two remaining trustees being elected two years later.
Township government concerns itself with the upkeep of the township roads and ditches, fire protection, road marking and snow removal, cemeteries and township zoning. The township officials also serve as financial officers of the township and prepare the annual budget.
Like any organization or unit of government, township government is what the people make it. Your personal knowledge of the officials who administer your township government, and of the problems they face, will make them more valuable to you. Fortunately, getting to know more about your township is simple, your trustees and fiscal officer are your neighbors. You'll find them eager to discuss your problems and ideas. They welcome your interest and encourage your questions.
