Summary
At its April 15 meeting the Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors approved a recurring twice-weekly hall rental at $100/month, authorized purchase of culverts per estimate, and voted to send a letter of support to Frontier regarding broadband; the clerk will draft an updated employee handbook and the chairman will pursue cam/audio repair.
The Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors met on April 15, 2025, and approved a set of routine motions including a recurring hall rental agreement, a culverts purchase and a letter of support for Frontier’s broadband effort. Chairman Mike Helman called the meeting to order at 7 p.m.
The board recorded attendance of Chairman Mike Helman, Supervisors Ryan Nelson, Andy Christensen and Sandy Forsman, and Clerk-Treasurer Alana Paumen. The agenda was approved with two additions: a proposed letter of support for Frontier and discussion of the hall camera/audio system.
On a motion by Supervisor Ryan Nelson, seconded by Supervisor Andy Christensen, the board approved a recurring hall rental twice weekly at $100 per month for use by a government worker; Chairman Mike Helman abstained and the motion carried. The minutes record the price and frequency; they do not identify the renter beyond “a government worker.”
In maintenance business, Chairman Mike Helman moved and Supervisor Sandy Forsman seconded approval of purchasing culverts “per estimate.” The board carried the motion; the minutes do not list the estimate amount.
Under new business the board asked Clerk-Treasurer Alana Paumen to draft updates to the township’s employee handbook. The board then voted to send a letter of support to Frontier regarding broadband; the motion was made by Chairman Mike Helman, seconded by Ryan Nelson, and carried. Chairman Helman said he would call to gather more information about repairing the hall’s camera and audio system.
The meeting concluded when Supervisor Ryan Nelson moved to adjourn, seconded by Supervisor Andy Christensen. The board adjourned following the motion.
