RECALL
Statement of Reason:
Sharon Township Treasurer, Kimberly Yordanich has failed in her duties to protect the welfare of Sharon Township by:
At the December 2, 2010 regular Board meeting of the Sharon Township Board of Trustees, Sharon Township Treasurer, Kimberly Yordanich failed to support a motion for the best qualified candidate, Roger Kappler, for interim Township Supervisor. Roger Kappler was the best qualified candidate of five applicants due to his documented educational background, prior managerial and planning experience in the private sector, and his Sharon Township Government experience as the Chairman of the Planning Commission and a Board Trustee.
At the same Board meeting, Treasurer Kimberly Yordanich voted for John Frey for the position of interim Township Supervisor. This resulted in the lesser qualified candidate, John Frey, being appointed interim Supervisor. The vote for Supervisor and the role of Supervisor is crucial to the health, well being and proper administration and governance of the township.
Justification of Conduct:
I, Kim Yordanich, Sharon Township Treasurer, did not base my decision to vote for John Frey as supervisor solely on education and experience. I considered specific character values I thought necessary for the position, such as communication skills, initiative, dependability, integrity, and a strong desire to dedicate the time necessary to serve Sharon Township residents. John demonstrated these values to me by being the only candidate to attended board meetings where he listened to the ongoing concerns of Sharon Township residents and voiced his opinions and vision for the township’s future.
John Frey has not disappointed the residents of Sharon Township; he has shown enthusiasm, dedication, and the commitment to learn the responsibilities required of his position.
To date, John’s achievements have included the perseverance in receiving financial assistance from Washtenaw County. This action is allowing for the Waldo Road Bridge to be rebuilt and the road to reopen by fall 2011. In addition, he was instrumental in resolving the fire run issue by placement of the fire run millage on the recent ballot. This was an ongoing financial concern for the township and not effectively addressed by previous supervisors.
John has the township’s prosperity, safety and welfare at heart. Shall Kimberly Yordanich be recalled from the office of Sharon Township Treasurer?
