Silver Creek board approves $24,119.35 in disbursements, starts 2025 audit and schedules clerk interviews
Summary
At the Jan. 20 meeting the Silver Creek Township Board approved disbursements totaling $24,119.35, noted that the 2025 audit is starting, approved a desktop computer purchase for $831.03, and scheduled interviews for the Clerk/Treasurer position beginning Jan. 23.
SILVER CREEK TOWNSHIP — The board approved routine financial and administrative items at its Jan. 20 meeting, including authorization of disbursements, the start of the township audit and steps toward filling the clerk/treasurer position.
Vice Chair Brandon Geyen moved to approve disbursements totaling $24,119.35; Supervisor Andy Christensen seconded and the motion carried 3-0. The board reviewed the audit-of-claims and confirmed that checks 19745, 19750, 19755 and 19762 matched approved disbursements.
An update to the board indicated the 2025 audit has begun; Chair Mike Helman will work with the interim clerk on audit matters. The board also approved buying a desktop computer to replace the clerk/treasurer’s laptop at a cost of $831.03, with IT help to transfer files; the motion by Helman, seconded by Geyen, carried 3-0.
On personnel, the board reviewed applications for the Clerk/Treasurer position and decided to start interviewing candidates Friday, Jan. 23, 2026. Chair Helman and Supervisor Christensen will serve on the interview panel.
The board also reported that West Central Sanitation responded to an attorney letter and refunded an overpayment for fuel surcharges the township said were charged when not listed in the contract; the transcript records the refund amount as "$28,55.47," which appears to be a transcription error and should be verified against refund documentation.
The board set the board of audit for Feb. 10, 2026 at 6 p.m. at Silver Creek Township Hall. Staff will report back to the board on audit progress and candidate interview outcomes.
