Silver Creek Township supervisors approve routine motions, back Frontier broadband support
Summary
At an April 15, 2025 meeting, the Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors approved routine agenda items, authorized a recurring hall rental at $100/month, approved culvert purchases, and voted to send a letter of support to Frontier for broadband; the clerk will draft employee handbook updates.
Chairman Mike Helman called the Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors to order at 7:00 p.m. on April 15, 2025. The board approved the revised agenda and a series of routine motions, including minutes and disbursement approvals.
The meeting’s most consequential action was a motion by Chairman Mike Helman, seconded by Supervisor Ryan Nelson, to send a letter of support to Frontier regarding broadband; the motion carried. The board also approved a recurring twice-weekly hall rental at $100 per month for use by a government worker after a motion by Supervisor Ryan Nelson and a second by Supervisor Andy Christensen; Chairman Helman abstained from that vote. Supervisor Helman moved, and Supervisor Sandy Forsman seconded, a vote to purchase culverts per an estimate; that motion carried. Several other procedural motions to approve the agenda, minutes and disbursements were passed earlier in the meeting.
Clerk-Treasurer Alana Paumen was directed to draft updates to the township employee handbook for future consideration. Chairman Helman said he would call to obtain more information about repairing the hall’s camera and audio system. Supervisor Ryan Nelson provided an update on 135th Street and matters involving Andy Anderson; the minutes record the update but do not provide details.
Votes at a glance: a motion to send a letter of support to Frontier (moved by Chairman Mike Helman, seconded by Supervisor Ryan Nelson) carried; recurring hall rental approved (moved by Supervisor Ryan Nelson, seconded by Supervisor Andy Christensen, Chairman Helman abstained) and the purchase of culverts was approved (moved by Chairman Mike Helman, seconded by Supervisor Sandy Forsman). The meeting adjourned on a motion by Supervisor Ryan Nelson, seconded by Supervisor Andy Christensen.
The minutes record decisions and assigned follow-ups but do not specify dollar amounts for the culvert estimate or provide further detail about the 135th Street update. The board did not set a date for a follow-up meeting in the minutes.
