Old Business
- Oath of Office conducted in March for elected supervisor Douglas Nelson
- Last reminder: LBAE (Local Board of Appeal and Equalization) meeting scheduled on April 20, 2023, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Pequaywan Firehall. The purpose of this meeting is to determine whether property in the jurisdiction has been properly valued and classified by the Assessor.
- Amber Cruz resigned her position as clerk effective March 31, 2023. Minnesota Association of Townships Document No. TO2000 states that "the deputy serves only if the clerk or treasurer who appointed him or her is still in office. When the clerk or treasurer resigns or completes the term of office, the deputy’s power is automatically removed." Therefore, the term of Diana Potter as deputy clerk is completed as of March 31, 2023.
- Update on adding Lita Wallace and Douglas Nelson to the credit union checking account
New Business
- Appoint Chair Person on the Town Board
- Lita Wallace had completed an Oath of Office when she was hired as clerk in 2014, therefore, she would not need to take another oath
- A township is required to have an LBAE certified supervisor to be able to conduct LBAE meeting in the township. Since outgoing supervisor Donald Swanstrom was the only supervisor with LBAE certification when he left office, Charles Kuettel was able to complete an online catch-up training in March through the Department of Revenue good from 2023 to 2027.
