The Township Clerk plays a critical role in the operation and administration of the government. Michigan law requires the Clerk to carry out three major responsibilities involving record-keeping, financial operations, and elections. The Clerk is a member of the Township Board, voting on questions of budget, personnel appointments, zoning, and other matters. The Clerk’s office administers oaths, scribes the Township board minutes and conducts elections.

The Clerk chairs the Board of Election Commissioners. In addition to the statutory duties described above, the Clerk also acts as FOIA Coordinator and Cemetery Administrator.
