Township Trustees and Boards
A township trustee is an official with authority over civil township government.
Assistance– designated as the administrator of emergency assistance within his or her township. They are responsible for the oversight and care of all poor individuals in the township as long as the individuals remain in the trustee’s charge. It’s the trustee’s responsibility to see that township residents are properly taken care of in the manner required by law.
Fire & Emergency Services– with the approval of the board:
* Purchase fire fighting and emergency services apparatus and equipment for the township, provide for the housing, care maintenance, operation, and use of the apparatus and equipment to extinguish fires that occur within the township but outside the corporate boundaries of municipalities, and employ full-time or part time fire fighters to operate the apparatus and equipment and to provide services in that area.
Cemeteries– Indiana law gives the responsibility for maintaining cemeteries in the state to the township trustee.
The trustee is assisted by a three-member Township Board whose members are also elected to four year terms. Duties of the board include adopting the annual budget, serving as a board of finance and approving township contracts. In January of each year, the trustee presents to the board and annual report showing the receipts, expenditures, investments and debts of the township. The approved report is then published in the local papers for public inspection.
Trustee’s and their board members hold office for 4 years. Next election is 2022
