The Kiskiminetas Township Board of Supervisors voted on Jan. 15 to hire Dailey Operation Consulting LLC to provide interim management services and conduct a management search for the township at a rate not to exceed $8,500 per month. The motion to hire the firm was made by Supervisor M. Long and seconded by Supervisor B. Ross; the minutes record the motion as carried.
The board, led by Chairwoman B. Hilliard, also voted to amend the advertisement for the Secretary-Treasurer position "until further notice." Chairwoman B. Hilliard made the motion to amend the advertisement and Supervisor M. Long seconded it; the minutes indicate the amendment carried. The board additionally approved a motion to accept letters of interest for the vacant supervisor seat through 12:00 p.m. on January 31, 2025; the minutes record the motion as carried but do not specify who moved or seconded that particular motion.
