Township Trustees
Ohio Revised Code 505 establishes the duties and responsibilities of township Board of Trustees in the state of Ohio.
The Board of Trustees consists of three members who are elected during general elections in off-numbered years for terms of four years commencing on the first day in January after their election. Two trustees are elected during general elections the year after presidential elections and one trustee is elected in the year following a state gubernatorial election.
As the executive officers of Jackson Township, they are responsible for funds appropriation, taxing and purchasing for Township needs and they hold title to the physical property of the township. The Board of Trustees also are empowered with discretionary, judicial and executive functions. They are permitted by state law to adopt regulations for fire and police protection and other regulations as may be deemed necessary for the welfare of the Township. The Board of Trustees also settle line fence disputes among township residents and adopt zoning amendments from recommendations made by the Township Zoning Commission. Trustees may enter into contracts and hire personnel as needed in the performance of their duties to the well being of the Township. Our Board of Trustees consist of Bill Wiederhold, Joe Speeg, and Hal Herron.
Regularly scheduled business meetings are held on the first Monday of each month at 7:00 P.M. and work sessions are held the third Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Jackson Township Community Center located at 3263 U.S. Route 50, Williamsburg, Ohio. All meetings are open to the public in accordance with the Ohio Open Meetings Act. If the meeting date falls on a holiday the meeting will be scheduled for the following business day.

All Special and Emergency meeting notices will be posted on the exterior bulletin board adjacent to Door #3 of the Community Center in accordance with the Ohio Open Meetings Act.
