The Board of Trustees of Island Creek Township have called a Special Meeting for Monday, February 14, 2022 at 9:00 AM to appoint a Trustee for the vacancy on the Board.

1.31.22

Vacancy seems like such a harsh word to use as we mourn our Board member.

The Board of Island Creek Township, employees, and all who knew him, are saddened by the loss of Mark Clark, Trustee.

Mark had served the Township for 20 years, and was recently re-elected to serve again.

Unfortunately with this loss, comes work that must be completed. The remaining Trustees will follow the Ohio Revised Code to fill the untimely vacancy by the loss of Mark.

The following is the wording of the first paragraph of Ohio Revised Code 503.24

Vacancy in Township Office:

If there is a vacancy by reason of the nonacceptance, death, or removal of a person chosen to an office in any township at the regular election, or if there is a vacancy from any other cause, the board of Township Trustees shall appoint a person having the qualifications of an elector to fill such vacancy for the unexpired term or until a successor is elected.

1.25.22

Island Creek Township’s Annual report is complete, and is available by contacting the Fiscal Officer at 740-765-4612.
