Notice Of Referendum

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that at an electiono to be held in the Town Of Erin Prairie on November 5, 2024 the following question will be submitted to a vote of the people:

“Shall the person holding the office of Town Clerk/Treasurer in the Town Of Erin Prairie be appointed by the Town Board instead of elected every other year?     Yes____       No____

                                                                               EXPLANATION

   The reason for changing the elected position to a position appointed by the Town Board is due to the extensive training and knowledge required to successfully fulfill the requirements of the job.  Appointment of Clerk/Treasurer will insure the position is filled with an individual that is capable of learning and completing the work that is required.  
      The current Clerk/Treasurer is not planning to run for the elected position again.  The Board would like the option to hire a Clerk/Treasurer if there is not an individual in the township that is interested in running for the position.

    A “Yes” vote will authorize the Town Board to appoint the Town Clerk/Treasurer.

    A “No”  vote will deny the Town Board the authority to appoint the Town Clerk/Treasurer.  Thus the office of Town Clerk/Treasurer will continue to be an elected position.
