The Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors met June 17, 2025 and approved a slate of routine administrative and maintenance items, including contracts for engineering services and small facility repairs.
Chairman Mike Helman called the meeting to order. Supervisor Andy Christensen moved to approve the meeting agenda with two additions — adding the Olson liquor license to new business and adding the county assessor to old business — and Supervisor Sandy Forsman seconded; the motion carried 3-0. The board also approved the June 3, 2025 meeting minutes and the list of disbursements, both motions moved by Christensen, seconded by Forsman and carried 3-0. The minutes list audit-of-claims vendors as Cintas; Chamberlin Oil; Menards; and TDS.
Under maintenance items, Helman moved that employees will not work on June 19; Christensen seconded and the motion carried 3-0. The board also approved up to $10,000 for loader repairs, a motion by Helman seconded by Christensen that was carried 3-0.
In old business, Christensen moved to continue using Wright County Assessors for assessor services, seconded by Forsman; the motion carried 3-0 and the minutes note the board will explore other options in the future.
In new business, Helman moved to hire Otto for engineering services not to exceed $30,000; Christensen seconded and the motion carried 3-0. Helman also moved to approve up to $500 to repair the hall video/audio system, seconded by Christensen and carried 3-0. The meeting concluded when Christensen moved to adjourn and Forsman seconded.
Votes at a glance: all recorded motions were carried unanimously (3-0). Key motions recorded in the minutes include: approving the agenda (added Olson liquor license and county assessor items); approving the 06-03-25 minutes; approving the list of disbursements and noting audit claims; a June 19 staffing pause; up to $10,000 for loader repairs; continuing Wright County Assessors; hiring Otto for engineering services not to exceed $30,000; and up to $500 for hall AV repairs.
The minutes do not record debate, public comment details, or direct quotations. The agenda lists Clerk-Treasurer Alana Paumen and notes guests on a sign-in sheet, but no clerk report text is included in the minutes. The record shows routine, unanimous approvals on the items listed; the minutes do not indicate follow-up deadlines or contract award details beyond the authorized dollar limits.
