Township confirms a slate of solicitors, engineers and commissioners in reorganizational votes

The board moved through a series of appointment votes during its reorganizational meeting. Florence Hartman moved to appoint Watson Mundorf LLP as solicitor; the motion was seconded by Robert Anderson and carried after the vote. The Chair described solicitor compensation later in the meeting as a $300 meeting retainer and a $150 hourly rate for non‑meeting work.

The board also moved to appoint McMillan as the primary municipal engineer ("if they accept the position") and to keep Slater Engineering as the alternate municipal engineer. Motions to renew zoning hearing board members and planning-commission slots were made and carried. The board appointed Victor Owens as chairman of the vacancy board and confirmed other representatives to regional tax and county collection committees.

Why it matters: These appointments set the township’s legal, engineering and administrative support for the fiscal year, and they affect which external firms and individuals will handle engineering reviews, code enforcement, tax collection and legal representation on behalf of the township.
