Norwich Township trustees re-elect leaders and approve $1.2 million temporary appropriations
Summary
At an organizational meeting trustees re-elected Durland L. Workman chairman and James H. Rice vice chairman for 1984 and approved a temporary appropriations resolution totaling $1,200,000 that set preliminary budgets across general, fire, cemetery and other funds.
Durland L. Workman was selected chairman for 1984 and James H. Rice was elected vice chairman during Norwich Township’s organizational meeting. Webster D. Junk made the motion to nominate Workman, and Mr. Rice seconded; both motions were approved unanimously.
The trustees approved a temporary appropriations resolution totaling $1,200,000. The clerk presented line items including General $300,000; Motor Vehicle License (MVL) $5,000; Gas $8400; Cemetery $75,000; Police $55,000; Fire $850,000; and Revenue Sharing $6,600. Webster D. Junk moved to accept the resolution and James H. Rice seconded; the motion passed with all voting 'Aye'.
The board also reviewed routine financial business, approving monthly bills and payroll. Trustees voted to send a Brown Township contract for 1984 in the amount of $89,710.67 to Mr. Barrett for approval by the Brown Trustees. Meetings were scheduled as listed by the clerk.
Why it matters: The temporary appropriations set spending ceilings that let township departments continue operations while detailed budgets are finalized. The decision also establishes leadership for the year and confirms intergovernmental contracting steps the trustees will pursue.
The trustees closed the session after routine items and scheduled the next regular meeting as posted by the clerk.
