Norwich Township trustees accept Budget Commission figures, approve raises and elect officers for 1979
Summary
Trustees accepted Budget Commission levy figures recorded in the minutes (1.5 mills for general fund; 6.0 mills for fire levy; police‑district millage in the minutes is not legible), approved a 7% cost‑of‑living raise for incumbent regular firemen effective Feb. 1, 1979, and elected Webster D. Junk as chairman for 1979 with Durland L. Workman as vice chairman.
At a regular meeting, Norwich Township trustees accepted the Budget Commission figures recorded in the minutes, which list 1.5 mills for the general fund and 6.0 mills for the fire levy. The minutes include a reference to the police‑district millage but the document is not legible at that point, so the police‑district mill rate is recorded in these notes as not specified.
Trustees also approved a 7% cost‑of‑living raise for incumbent regular firemen and the cemetery crew, effective Feb. 1, 1979. The minutes state that new firemen will not receive this raise until the following year. The motion to grant the raise was recorded as carried on a unanimous vote.
In routine organization business for the coming year, trustees elected Webster D. Junk as chairman for 1979 and Durland L. Workman as vice chairman; the minutes record the motion and second and show the outcome as unanimous. The board also re‑appointed Mr. Kallenbach (spelling in minutes varies) as chief of police by motion and vote.
The minutes record many routine approvals of vouchers and equipment purchases across the year; specific vouchers and vendor payments are itemized in the record but are summarized here as routine bill approvals on trustee motion and unanimous vote.
