This chapter from a 2010 township manual outlines the structure and governance of township boards, including election procedures, member qualifications, and operational requirements. Township boards consist of three elected residents serving four-year terms, with members required to take oaths of office and maintain township residency. The manual specifies that boards must meet annually by the first Tuesday after the first Monday in January to elect a chairman and secretary, with a quorum of any two members, and establishes salary guidelines allowing boards to set compensation at amounts equal to or exceeding 1980 levels, subject to certain restrictions on salary reductions.
