ANNUAL MEETING AGENDA

UPDATE FROM OUR TOWNSHIP’S MARCH 11, 2025, TOWNSHIP ELECTION AND ANNUAL MEETING:
Thanks to the lively, thoughtful crowd that turned out for our township’s 2025 annual meeting on the night of Tuesday, March 11, 2025. Among other issues, the proposed 2026 budget was examined, explained and voted upon, and township election results were announced. They are: Tom Gnotke was re-elected for another two-year term as township treasurer, and newcomer Nathan Oppedahl was elected to serve a three-year term as township supervisor. Nathan is replacing Jim McIlrath, who is stepping down after years of various kinds of service to our township. Congratulations and thanks to Tom and Nathan, and fervent thanks to Jim for his work on behalf of us all!

We can’t legally post the minutes from last night’s annual meeting until they’re approved at NEXT year’s town meeting. But if you’d like to know what happened at the meeting beyond what’s listed above, email florencetwpmn@gmail.com for a concise update. Thanks! — Pamela Miller, township clerk

 OUR TOWNSHIP NEEDS YOUR HELP

Dear fellow residents,

Our township’s Planning Commission and Heritage Preservation Commission each have vacant seats. The good citizens who serve on these commissions (as well as our Parks Commission, which has enough members for now) help improve the quality of life in our beautiful township in various ways. We’d love to have you join us in thoughtful public service! Questions? Check out the information about each commission on this website, or you can contact Planning Commission Chair Bill Bruce at rwmbruce@icloud.com or Heritage Preservation Commission chair Jeff Bolin at jeffbolin@mac.com with questions. Thanks, friends! — Pamela Miller, township clerk, florencetwpmn@gmail.com
