Township government plays a critical role in the future development of a community. The Township Board and staff is made up of individuals who have worked together to develop and implement decisions in the best interest of the people. By working as a team, Comstock Township is able to encourage residential, retail, commercial and industrial growth, thereby providing a more diverse and robust tax base. This in itself improves the economic vitality of our community.
An increased revenue stream will allow the Township to better serve all individuals and businesses by developing and delivering enhanced services. We have all benefited from a more effective and efficient use of tax revenue which enabled the Township to provide curbside rubbish collection in addition to partnering with the Kalamazoo Land Bank, demolishing unsafe building structures, and encourage reutilization.

Duties and Responsibilities
The office of supervisor generally serves as the township’s chief spokesperson. The authority of the supervisor is limited to that provided by statute or delegated by the township board. The image of the township and its ability to satisfy the needs of its citizens and property owners rests largely on the supervisor’s knowledge of township government and how the township can accomplish these purposes legally, fairly and with the least amount of dissension and friction as possible. The ability to mediate in a rational and logical manner and in the interest of good township development and service is the major goal of the supervisor.
The supervisor assists with the administrative operations for the township and delegates certain statutorily assigned functions to other full-time and/or part-time employees of the township. It is understood that this assignment does not diminish the supervisor’s statutory responsibilities and that these duties may be assumed at the supervisor’s discretion at any time.
The supervisor works with the Township Superintendent on matters related to policy formation, budget oversight, general personnel matters, agenda matters, and committee assignments.
The supervisor is ex officio of all board committees and represents the township at various local, countywide, state or national meetings; except for those delegated to the Superintendent.
