Supervisors plan sheriff contact over Haack property; approve laptops after abstention
Summary
Vice Chairman Brandon Geyen said the Haack property shows no significant progress after a Sept. 10 visit and the board agreed to contact the sheriff's office about a citation. The board also approved laptops for supervisors; one member abstained citing a conflict of interest.
The Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors on Oct. 1 agreed to ask the sheriff's office to pursue a citation related to the Haack property after board members said few corrective steps had been taken since a Sept. 10 on‑site meeting.
Vice Chairman Brandon Geyen told the board he, Chris Klein and property owner John Haack met on Sept. 10 and that Haack allowed photos but there had been "no significant progress" since then. The board decided to contact the sheriff's office about issuing a citation to the property owner.
Separately, the board debated whether to equip supervisors with laptops or Chromebooks. Vice Chairman Geyen moved to approve laptops and Chairman Mike Helman seconded; Supervisor Andy Christensen abstained, citing a conflict of interest, and the motion carried (transcript: "Carried 2-1"). The minutes do not record individual yes/no votes beyond those statements.
The board did not specify vendor or procurement details for the laptops during the meeting; staff were directed to proceed with the approved option and provide costs and specifications at a future meeting.
