Silver Creek supervisors approve $92,847.07 in claims, allow limited remote clerk work and bar driveway permits on 148th
Summary
The Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors approved the agenda and $92,847.07 in claims, authorized the clerk to work up to four hours per week from home, approved a $1,000-limit CorTrust credit card and a township Amazon account, and voted to deny driveway permits on 148th until the road is realigned with County Road 8.
Silver Creek Township’s Board of Supervisors on Aug. 19 approved the meeting agenda and a list of claims totaling $92,847.07 and voted on a series of administrative and procurement actions.
Vice Chair Brandon Geyen moved to approve the agenda and then the list of claims for $92,847.07; Supervisor Sandy Forsman seconded both motions and each carried 3-0. The claims approval covers routine township bills listed in the meeting packet (details not specified in the minutes).
Chairman Helman moved to allow Clerk-Treasurer Alana Paumen to "work up to 4 hours per week from home"; Vice Chair Geyen seconded the motion, which carried 3-0, authorizing a limited remote work arrangement for the clerk. The board did not specify reporting or supervisory requirements for those hours in the minutes.
On roads and permits, Vice Chair Geyen moved "to not approve any driveway permits on 148th until road is properly realigned with Cty Rd 8," seconded by Forsman; the motion carried 3-0. The board tied the moratorium to a required realignment with County Road 8; the minutes do not specify a timeline for the realignment or which agency will complete it.
The board approved two procurement-related measures: Geyen moved to obtain a township credit card from CorTrust with a $1,000 monthly limit, seconded by Helman and carried 3-0; Helman moved to create a township Amazon account for purchases, seconded by Geyen and carried 3-0. The minutes do not specify cardholders, spending limits beyond the monthly cap, or any purchasing policy updates.
The meeting concluded with a motion by Nelson to adjourn at 9:20 p.m., seconded by Forsman; that motion carried 4-0.
The board’s official minutes list attendance and motions but do not provide further detail on procurement controls, timelines for the 148th realignment, or documentation for the claims; follow-up with the Clerk-Treasurer would be required for the full claims roster and any associated invoices.
