Clerk / Finance |
|
Since 1951, Township Clerks have been elected every four years at the general election held in November in odd-numbered years, with the Clerk's term beginning on April 1st of the year following election.
The Township Clerk is the legally designated township fiscal officer, and works in close conjunction with the Township Trustees.
In larger townships, such as Plain Township, Finance Departments are credited.
The Township Clerk then assumes the role of auditor, leaving to the Finance Director the tasks of record keeping.
The Finance Department, under the direction of the Clerk, is responsible for keeping accurate records of the proceedings of the Trustees' meetings, all other records, budgets, accounts and transactions, investments, employee information, benefits, payrolls, polling places within the township for elections, certifications of lighting districts, and records of the Township cemetery.
The Clerk and Finance Director work closely with the offices of the Stark County Auditor, Stark County Recorder, Stark County Treasurer, and Stark County Board of Elections in addition to the Auditor of the State of Ohio.
The Plain Township Clerk and Finance Director annually complete the necessary continuing education conducted by the State Treasurer to be certified to invest Township funds.
