What exactly can the citizens of the township do during the Annual Township Meeting? I understand that they run the township meeting and can make resolutions and ordinances.
And these resolutions and ordinances can pass if voted on by the majority during the Annual Town Meeting.
I believe each ordinance or resolutions requires fifteen signatures to be put on the agenda.
Can, we the citizens, resolve there will be NO Assistant Highway Commissioner position, and then vote on it in the open meeting?
Can, we the citizens, resolve that ALL OPEN employment opportunities should be posted for the general public and not handed off to the son of the former Highway Commissioner and to the son of the township inspector, (both who are employees, along with Ken Davis at the Metro East Sanitary District)?
www.toi.org is a website dedicated to the townships in our state.
If we truly want to put an end to garbage in this township, we need to step up to the plate and put an end to it ourselves.
Not only by voting in those who have no plans to self serve, but by standing up in the Annual Township Meeting and making some hard rules.
Anyone agree?
I know there is a deadline for the resolutions / ordinances to be delivered to the clerk in order to be put on the agenda for the Meeting in April, at which time they MUST be voted on, by those in attendance.
This could solve a lot of the existing issues of nepotism, and or, one person holding two positions.
