Bridgeport Township Board Opening

The meeting agenda has been posted for the upcoming September 7th, 2021 meeting of the Bridgeport Township Board.  There will be a board resignation of a trustee member.  Sadly it won't be any of the members I would like to see resign.  So it appears there will be an opening for a new trustee for the board.

I checked the August 25th and September 1st editions of the Birch Run/Bridgeport Herald and saw no notice in there for the board opening.  I checked the Bridgeport Township Facebook page and the website, no mention on either of those sites about the board opening.  Hopefully they will be posting it somewhere so members of the township can apply for the position, unlike how they handled it when the township clerk position opened up.  Sometimes this township will post openings and interview candidates, and sometimes they just appoint them,  On the township website they have the requirements posted for board members and also a link to apply online.  It is under "Employment Opportunities".

I am hoping that there are members of our community that would like to step up and serve as a trustee on the board, and hoping that they will not just be appointing another "buddy",  but rather giving members of the community the chance to serve.  If they do just "appoint" one of their buddies to the position, hopefully it won't be another previously recalled board member!  Hopefully they aren't hoping to get the old band back together 😏

And hoping I won't have to be writing another post like this one:
