Ordinances

Township boards express their formal policies that apply to the general population of the township by adopting ordinances. Ordinances are local laws adopted by a township that state the rule for a specific activity or set of activities, and the civil penalties that will apply for violations. The ordinance prescribes the rule and procedure for how the rule is to be administered. Some township ordinances do not impose a penalty for violation, while others do. The real purpose of local ordinance is not to punish the violator, but to obtain compliance with the rules. However, after a warning, or warnings, to correct the violation, the ordinance does permit a civil penalty to be imposed. Ronald Phillips is the Ordinance Enforcement Officer.
