Summary

The commission opened a two-week application period to fill a Silver Lake Township clerk vacancy and will address the appointment at a future meeting; the motion passed unanimously.

The Shawnee County Board of County Commissioners voted Dec. 5 to open a two-week application period for the vacancy in the Silver Lake Township clerk’s office.

Clerk’s office staff explained the township clerk and treasurer positions run on staggered two-year cycles and that the current clerk is moving to township treasurer. Commissioners said the application period is typically two weeks, and they instructed the clerk’s office to return the item for action at a subsequent meeting (with the possibility of scheduling the appointment for Dec. 30 or the next available meeting). The motion to open applications passed 3 to 0.

Clerk staff said they had not yet received applicants and will accept submissions from residents within Silver Lake Township during the advertised window. The appointee would serve the remainder of the two-year term and stand for election at the next cycle if they wish to continue.
