The township trustee is assisted by a Township Board whose members are elected to four year terms. Duties of the board include adopting the annual budget, serving as a board of finance and approving township contracts. In January of each year, the trustee presents to the board an annual report showing the receipts, expenditures, investments and debts of the township. The township board is also able to authorize a tax levy rate necessary to generate the amount the township board determines is needed for township functions.
As a professional educator I am good at listening to concerns and making connections with people.
A challenge for township government is managing a growing community. As more and more homes and apartments are being built in Wea Township our community becomes more and more diverse and that means there will be more needs in the community that can be met by township government as long as people know what help can be offered at that level of government.
Wea Township needs more transparency in how it functions, as a board member I would help to make access to the workings of the township more available to the community by streaming board meetings on YouTube and posting board meetings and minutes online.
