The Meridian Township Board is looking to fill the Township Treasurer position. The deadline to apply is Wednesday, September 17 at 4:00 pm.
The application period will be two weeks, with pre-scanning by an appointed subcommittee of the Board on September 23, 2025. Interviews will be held from 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm on October 7, 2025, preceding the Board meeting.
“The Township Treasurer position is a vitally important member of Township operations and serves as a member of the Township Board, representing our residents throughout the community,” said Meridian Township Supervisor Scott Hendrickson.
The day-to-day management responsibilities of the position include, but are not limited to, collecting real and personal property taxes, pursuing delinquent personal property taxes, issuing township checks and payments, receiving and depositing all township revenues and payments, and supervisory responsibilities for two Treasury staff. The Treasurer’s Board responsibilities include oversight for the full array of Township matters including planning, zoning, economic development, parks and recreation, budgeting, utilities, audits, and more.
“The Board is committed to selecting a Treasurer who is ready to serve our residents capably and provide valuable insight into our Board discussions. Outgoing Treasurer Phil Deschaine was selected with a similar process in 2018 and has served our residents well for many years.”
Under state law, the Board has 45 days to complete the process of appointing a new treasurer, which begins when the position becomes vacant. With Deschaine’s official resignation date of September 16, 2025, an appointment must take place by October 31, 2025.
