Township narrows street-department hiring to three finalists; staff recommends month-to-month QuickBooks support
Summary
Staff told the board it narrowed more than 100 applicants to three finalists for a street-department position and plans to recommend one next week; staff also recommended a month-to-month QuickBooks support arrangement with a third-party vendor to address bookkeeping issues.
Staff told the board that they had received a large applicant pool for the street-department vacancy and have reduced the list to three finalists after interviews; staff said they are still conducting background checks and expect to make a recommendation to the board next week.
"We had probably a little over 100 applicants," Eric said, describing the breadth of the candidate pool and the subsequent narrowing process.
On finance operations, staff described persistent issues with QuickBooks Online support and recommended engaging an external technical-support vendor (identified in the discussion as Four Lane Consulting Services) on a month-to-month basis. Staff said the service would allow the township to call for assistance when adjustments or updates are needed and that the arrangement would not lock the township into a long-term contract.
Staff emphasized the arrangement is month-to-month so the township can discontinue service if internal capacity improves. The matter will return to the board for a formal recommendation and any contract approval.
