As the governing body, the township board makes public policy decisions for the township and has legislative authority to carry forward these decisions. The township exercises its governmental authority through the board to:
– Define, decide and direct public policy for the township
– Set the tax levies and budget, determine revenues, and control expenditures of township funds
– Appoint officials as directed by statute
– Legislate and enforce township laws (ordinances) within the township for the public health, safety and welfare
– Exercise planning and zoning authority over land uses
– Determine and operate township programs and services
The board functions as the “owner, operator and employer” of the township, exercising its administrative and proprietary (“ownership”) authority to:
– Authorize and enter into contracts
– Acquire and convey property
– Direct litigation and other legal actions
– Maintain and control use of township property and facilities
– Employ and engage township employees, contractors, consultants and volunteers
The township board is self-governing, administering its own affairs and business, and
independent within the bounds of constitutional and statutory framework of township authority.
Ultimately, a township board and individual board members answer to the voters.
