Silver Creek Township supervisors approve agenda and minutes; motions filed to adopt four COI resolutions
Summary
At its Jan. 7 meeting the Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors approved the agenda and Dec. 17 minutes, heard two open-forum property requests, received routine clerk and maintenance updates, and recorded motions to approve four Conflict of Interest (COI) resolutions (vote outcomes not specified in the minutes).
The Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors met Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2025. Chairman Mike Helman, Vice Chairman Brandon Geyen, Supervisors Ryan Nelson and Andy Christensen and Clerk-Treasurer Alana Paumen were recorded as present; six guests attended in person and two participated via Teams.
Supervisor Ryan Nelson moved to approve the meeting agenda and the minutes from Dec. 17, 2024; both motions were seconded by Supervisor Andy Christensen and carried 4-0, according to the minutes. Vice Chairman Brandon Geyen later moved to adjourn, seconded by Chairman Mike Helman.
During open forum, resident Darryle Anderson asked the board about gaining ownership of the right-of-way on 135th Street. Another resident, Justin Hall, said he lost a small piece of land during a title transfer and said he would contact the county to follow up. The minutes record these as public comments and do not show board action tied to either request.
Clerk-Treasurer Alana Paumen reported the township audit is near completion, that W-2 and 1099 forms are being prepared and mailed, and she announced a WCTOA meeting scheduled for Jan. 9, 2025, at 7 p.m. The maintenance report noted an emergency repair to the grader and that maintenance employee Chris is on leave until the end of the month.
Under new business the minutes list four Conflict of Interest (COI) resolutions by number and record motions to approve each: Chairman Mike Helman moved to approve Resolution 2025-01-D (seconded by Supervisor Andy Christensen); Helman moved to approve Resolution 2025-01-A (seconded by Vice Chairman Brandon Geyen); Helman moved to approve Resolution 2025-01-E (seconded by Geyen); and Vice Chairman Brandon Geyen moved to approve Resolution 2025-01-B (seconded by Supervisor Ryan Nelson). The minutes state the board will check with the township attorney about whether the resolutions are in compliance because 'Sandy' was absent; the document does not record any vote tallies or explicit outcomes for those four motions.
The minutes also note an update on property compliance letters under old business but do not provide further detail about specific properties or next steps. The meeting concluded after the adjournment motion. The minutes do not indicate any formal votes on the four COI resolutions or list action items with deadlines; follow-up with the clerk or attorney would be required to confirm whether those motions were carried or formalized.
