The McHenry Township Board of Trustees is the governing board elected to direct township policies and manage its affairs. The board is comprised of dedicated Township residents who work to improve the quality of life in their community.
The township board of trustees is the legislative branch of township government. Each township has four trustees and a supervisor, which comprise the board. The Township Supervisor is the Chairman of the Township Board of Trustees. Each board member is elected at-large within the township and has one vote on all issues before the township board.
The Township Clerk is a non-voting member of the township board of trustees and is required to keep accurate records of all township board meetings and maintain records of the board’s executive sessions. During the town board meetings the clerk records roll call votes.
Trustees’ duties include monthly auditing of bills, budget preparation, adoption of the Road District and Township budget, approval of ordinances and contracts, and policy making for the Township.
A township trustee’s duties are similar to those of city council members in other local governments. They include adopting a budget, setting health and safety ordinances, and overseeing programs and services.
