In Worth Township, leaders are looking for a new trustee after board member Steve Kovac was appointed as township clerk during Wednesday night’s meeting. The move filled an urgent need for handling elections and overdue bills. Supervisor Walt Badgerow swore Kovac into office, and under Michigan law, he’ll serve until November’s election unless he runs to keep the seat. The board now has 45 days to replace him as trustee. Officials also said they’ve submitted their financial compliance plan to the state treasury. The next board meeting is April 15th.
