What the Township Supervisor Does
In many communities, the Township Supervisor is often the first official contacted about a problem or concern. Therefore, I have always believed that the ability to listen is the foundation of being able to lead. As Township Supervisor I have certain statutory duties (duties defined by state law):
- Adoption of the Township Budget (I work closely with our Treasurer as he is the money man)
- Appointment of various commission members (let me know if you'd like to serve)
- The maintenance of all records of the Supervisor's office
- Moderate Board Meetings
- Overall management, direction, and coordination of the Township operations and activities
- Secretary to the Board of Review (a citizen board that reviews property tax levels on your home)
- Township's Legal Agent (work with the lawyers)
In addition to those defined by law, I have other ongoing responsibilities. Serving on the following committees helps me stay abreast of the many issues that affect our Township on both the local and state level:
- Caledonia Independence Day Committee
- Elections Commission
- Finance Committee
- Personnel Committee
- Public Safety Advisory Committee
- Township Board Chair
- Trails, Parks and Recreation Committee
- Water and Sewer Advisory Committee
As Supervisor, I maintain an open mind, an open ear, open-door policy. It is an honor to serve you and represent you. I welcome your comments, suggestions; and yes, even complaints. Give me a call at 616-318-8216 or let's meet. I'm always willing to buy coffee.
