John Francis
Lyndon Township Residents,
I can be contacted by:telephone at 734.475.2401 or email: supervisor-lyndon@twp-lyndon.org
Web sites are great tools to get information. In addition, I encourage you to attend
the township board meetings. You will be given an opportunity to address the
Township Board and witness how decisions (that may effect you) are made by the Board.
The Township Board is accomplishing the goals I set forth during my election
campaign back in 2008.
Goal: Lower Township Spending
We are reducing the costs of day to day operations at the Township hall.
As a result we have:
•Purchased our phone system rather than paying an exorbitant annual lease charge.
•Purchased our own alarm system and stopped paying high annual leasing fees.
•Changed the outside lighting at the Township Hall. An entire new fixture costs
less than a bulb in an old fixture and we now using approximately 52 watts per
hour instead of 1000 watts per hour for exterior lighting.
•Purchased our copy machine with a maintenance program rather than leasing a new
machine saving a significant amount of money each year.
Goal: Lower Costs to Residents
The township board voted to stop the practice of charging residents for permits
to replace windows, roofs and siding. The township offers free notary service to
our residents, contact me or the township offices for an appointment.
Goal: Better Internet Connections with Residents
We have a Township website that continues to be improved. This year the new
website will allow residents to view their property cards on line.
