Barrett Township appoints Claudia Shu Smith Fox as subcontracted bookkeeper
Summary
Following Judy Linder's retirement, the board appointed Claudia Shu Smith Fox as the township's bookkeeper; staff clarified the role is a subcontractor position at the same rates as the prior bookkeeper.
Barrett Township appointed Claudia Shu Smith Fox to serve as the township's bookkeeper, filling the vacancy caused by Judy Linder's retirement.
The board described Smith Fox as “extremely qualified” and moved to appoint her; the motion was seconded and approved. During public comment a resident asked whether the appointee would be a township employee and whether pay had been negotiated. A staff member replied, "She is not a township employee. She's a subcontractor just as Judy is right now and she is going to keep the same rates as Judy, no increases." The board did not set a different rate at the meeting.
Next steps: The appointee is expected to begin work under the subcontract arrangement; staff will process onboarding consistent with the township's subcontractor procedures.
