Silver Creek Township approves disbursements, equipment purchases and audit update
Summary
The Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors approved $24,119.35 in disbursements, authorized a desktop computer purchase for the clerk/treasurer and received notice of a refund from West Central Sanitation; all motions passed unanimously 3-0.
The Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors approved routine financial business and several small equipment purchases during its Jan. 20, 2026 meeting.
Vice Chair Brandon Geyen moved to approve disbursements totaling $24,119.35; Supervisor Andy Christensen seconded and the motion carried 3-0, the minutes show. The clerk reported an internal audit of claims found checks 19745, 19750, 19755 and 19762 matched the approved disbursements list presented to the board.
Clerk/treasurer business included an update that the 2025 financial audit was starting and Chair Mike Helman will work with the interim clerk while that process is underway. The board approved purchasing a desktop computer to replace the clerk/treasurer’s laptop, authorizing up to $831.03 plus IT assistance to transfer files (motion by Helman, second by Geyen, motion carried 3-0).
The minutes record that West Central Sanitation responded to the township attorney’s letter and refunded funds for charging fuel surcharges that were not listed in the contract; the transcripted figure appears garbled and the exact refunded amount is not specified in the minutes provided.
The board also approved a small purchase to protect township property: Chair Helman moved and the board authorized up to $300 to buy two chair-moving dollies to protect the township hall floor (motion carried 3-0).
The board’s actions were unanimous on the items recorded; no public comments were made during the open forum at the start of the meeting.
