At the Charter Township of Oscoda’s Dec. 22 special meeting the board approved a set of administrative items including a police chief employment agreement, planning commission appointments, event and committee-schedule changes, grant-support letters, and multiple infrastructure invoice payments.
On a roll-call vote the board authorized execution of an employment agreement between the township and Erik McNichol for the position identified in the agenda as Police Chief and authorized Township Supervisor Nicole Tregear to sign the agreement. The minutes record the board’s approval but do not include the contract’s terms or compensation details.
