Our Government

An elected Board of Trustees governs DeWitt Charter Township. The Board consists of a Supervisor, Clerk, Treasurer, and four Trustees. Some of the primary responsibilities of the Board include adopting Township policies and ordinances, adopting the annual budget, approving certain expenditures and contracts, determining types and levels of services to be provided, appointments to various committees and commissions, and ensuring the general welfare of the residents. All Board members are elected to four year terms in the Presidential Election year and take office on November 20.

Strategic Plan
