I joined the Gaines Charter Township team in February of 2023.  As Township Manager I serve at the pleasure of the Township Board and perform the duties delegated to me by the Board. These duties include some of the Supervisor's statutory duties, including assuring all laws and township ordinances are enforced;  attending all meetings of the Township Board; preparing and administering the annual budget under policies formulated by the Township Board and keeping the  board fully advised at all times as to the financial condition and needs of the township. I will also recommend to the Township Board (for adoption)  measures  I  feel are necessary or expedient; I  will act as the purchasing agent for the Township or, delegate such duties to some other officer or employee. I assume all the duties and responsibilities as Personnel Director of all township employees; and perform such other duties as may be prescribed by this act or required of me by ordinance or by direction of the Township Board; or which are not assigned to some other official in conformity with the provisions of [the Charter Township Act]. Although my responsiblities keep my busy, I am never too busy to address your concerns.  Please feel free to stop by the Township Hall, or give me a call.  Addressing the concerns of the residents of Gaines Charter Township will always be a priorty!
