Superior Township is accepting applications for a Park Commissioner to replace Carl Saddler, who is resigning due to personal reasons.

Two people have applied already, one of whom ran in the last election Township Supervisor William McFarlane said Tuesday. Saddler held the position for five years.

The Township Board will interview applicants at its regular board meeting Jan. 5, 2009 and the appointment will be made at the Jan. 20, 2009 Board meeting.

The term will be until the next general election, which is expected to occur in November 2010. If the appointee wishes to continue in office, they will be required to run in the August 2010 Primary Election and the November 2010 General Election.

The Park Commission consists of seven members, meets monthly (usually the fourth Monday of the month) and is charged with overseeing the operations of park maintenance for nine township parks and recreation programs, and managing expenditures related to these processes.

The Park Commissioners receive a stipend of $67.00 for each meeting they attend. You must be a Township resident for this position.

If you are interested in this position, please contact Superior Charter Township Clerk David Phillips at 734-482-6099 or Superior Township Parks and Recreation Director Keith Lockie at 734-649-3400 for further information.

Interested residents may also forward a letter of interest, along with your resume to the Superior Charter Township Hall, 3040 North Prospect, Ypsilanti, MI, 48198, or FAX: 734-482-3842
