The Township Clerk does not establish public policy and does not resolve political issues. Instead, the Clerk serves as the official custodian of township records and is responsible for ensuring accurate documentation, transparency, and compliance with state requirements. Clerk duties include, but are not limited to, the following:

​

• Reviewing Board packets prior to each meeting

• Attending Township Board meetings, executive sessions, public hearings, and the Annual Town Meeting

• Recording accurate minutes of all meetings and hearings

• Presiding over the Annual Town Meeting until a moderator is elected

• Presiding over bid openings

• Preparing and publishing the annual schedule of meeting dates

• Signing and sealing official township documents

• Receiving candidate petitions and certifying ballots, referendum questions, and other required documents to the Kane County Clerk

• Assisting with responses to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests

• Publishing legal notices

• Attending Township Officials of Illinois (TOI) training seminars

• Attending Open Space property closings as required
   

A key responsibility of the Clerk’s Office is communication with residents through accurate and complete meeting minutes. The “Minutes” section of the Clerk’s webpage provides public access to Town Board meeting records 24 hours a day. The Clerk strives to record detailed minutes so residents can clearly understand the actions and discussions that take place at Township meetings. Clear, thorough communication remains a top priority of the Clerk’s Office.
