Summary
At a special meeting held March 24, 2026, the Leelanau Township Board considered a resolution to create the position of Deputy Supervisor. The resolution references a position description previously approved by the board at its March 10, 2026 meeting. The document as provided is a template resolution and does not record the names of who offered or seconded the motion, nor the roll call vote results; it notes that Supervisor Barbara Conley declared the resolution "adopted/not adopted" without specifying the outcome.
Other Business
The resolution establishes that, per MCL 41.61(2), the township supervisor may appoint a deputy supervisor who serves at the pleasure of the supervisor. The deputy would assume the supervisor's powers and duties in cases of the supervisor's absence, sickness, death, or other disability, but would not have voting rights on the township board. With the supervisor's approval, the deputy may also assist with additional duties as agreed upon between the board and the supervisor.
Financial Summary
The resolution states that the deputy supervisor position will be paid and allotted hours as set forth in the Township's annual budget. The township board is responsible for setting the compensation and expected weekly hours for the deputy supervisor. No specific dollar figures or budget allocations are included in the document.

The following items require follow-up, though specifics are not detailed in this document:
