The three west end townships will hold their annual meetings on Tuesday, March 9. Lutsen, Tofte, and Schroeder residents will have a chance to give their input about local issues with other township residents, vote on their annual tax levy, discuss policies, and vote on other local issues. All three townships will hold their annual elections to fill township positions and board seats.
In Schroeder, voters will elect one supervisor for a three-year term, one supervisor for a two-year term and a treasurer for a two-year term. The election polls will be open from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Masks and social distancing will be required at the poll. The annual meeting will be held at the Schroeder Town Hall.
In Tofte, polls open from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. One three-year supervisor position is on the ballot and a two-year treasurer position as well. The annual meeting will start at 8:01 p.m. and it will be held at the Birch Grove Community Center.
Lutsen voters will elect one supervisor for a three-year term and a treasurer for a two-year term. Election polls at the Lutsen Town Hall (the large hall in the rear of the Fire Hall) are open from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The annual meeting will begin virtually at 8:05 p.m. A Zoom virtual connection will be found on the Lutsen home page.
“Township Day 2021 will still ensure a direct voice to residents of townships, with COVID-19 precautions in place. Some townships will meet physically with masks and distancing, while other townships are embracing conference calls or virtual meetings. Some townships will officially start their meetings but then ‘pause’ business so that full participation can occur in fairer summer weather at outdoor meetings,” said Minnesota Association of Townships General Counsel Steve Fenske. “If you live in a township, please participate in your township’s annual meeting on Tuesday, March 9. You can find the location and time by checking the published notice in the local newspaper or by contacting the township clerk,” continued Fenske.
