Moved by Dale Mohr, seconded by Richard VanderKlok, to recommend to the Township Board to approve a resolution to change the precinct polling locations of precinct 8 and 9 after the May 6, 2008 School Election. Precinct 8 will move to First Jenison Christian Reformed Church, 8360 Cottonwood Dr., Jenison, MI. Precinct 9 will move to Chapel Pointe 3350 Baldwin St., Hudsonville, MI.

the number of voters expected to turn out for the elections after May

Chairs make an additional $25 if there are no mistakes in their canvass material.

b. The pay rate has already been established as $25 per the whole session for the “Hands-On” training school (no mileage reimbursement).
