Duties & Responsibilities

The office of supervisor generally serves as the township’s chief spokesperson. The authority of the supervisor is limited to that provided by statute or delegated by the township board. The image of the township and its ability to satisfy the needs of its citizens and property owners rests largely on the supervisor’s knowledge of township government and how the township can accomplish these purposes legally, fairly and with the least amount of dissension and friction as possible. The ability to mediate in a rational and logical manner and in the interest of good township development and service is the major goal of the supervisor.

The supervisor assists with the administrative operations for the township and delegates certain statutorily assigned functions to other full-time and/or part-time employees of the township. It is understood that this assignment does not diminish the supervisor’s statutory responsibilities and that these duties may be assumed at the supervisor’s discretion at any time.

The supervisor is ex officio of all board committees and represents the township at various local, countywide, state or national meetings.
