Clerk Levings explained very thoroughly the “Open Meeting” statute. Supervisors were advised that they cannot discuss township business with each other except at town board meetings. An exception can be made for emergency situations. Supervisors can discuss township business with the clerk and/or the treasurer because those two officers do not vote at meetings.
Clerk Levings then explained her plans for the next year. She does not plan to file for office for the 2020 township election. She will be training Tamara Miritello. Next December, Ms Miritello and Treasurer Mandy Fornengo will decide who will file for Clerk for the 2020 town election. Levings said she will continue as Zoning Administrator until a decision is made regarding the Pine County Ordinance. She will, of course, continue as township representative to the Hospital District Board- an elective position.

April 5- MAT Short Course-Duluth
