What the Clerk does

The Township Clerk is an elected official whose duties are primarily administrative and statutory, as defined by Michigan law. While many responsibilities are outlined by statute and allow limited discretion, the Clerk also serves as a voting member of the Township Board, participating in decisions on budgets, appointments, zoning, and other township matters.

Michigan law assigns the Clerk three primary areas of responsibility:

  1. Township recordkeeping
  2. Financial operations
  3. Election management

Responsibilities

  • Manage elections and voter registration
  • Maintain and organize township records
  • Administer payroll and manage employee compensation records
  • Oversee accounts payable and receivable
  • Serve as the township’s Freedom of Information (FOIA) Officer
  • Act as the township insurance coordinator
  • Record and prepare minutes for all Township Board meetings
