Most people don't think of burial assistance as something a township trustee provides. But when someone can't afford to bury their loved one, they can ask the trustee's office for help. The responsibility of tending to abandoned cemeteries also falls on the trustees — there are six abandoned cemeteries in Perry Township, Day said. Beyond that, many of the resources available through the township trustee depend on local needs of the community.

Need help? What to know about the Indianapolis rental assistance program.

Before getting an appointment scheduled, people must first fill out an application. To apply for assistance in Perry Township, people used to have to come to the office to fill out a paper application, said Day, Perry Township trustee. But because of the pandemic, people can download a virtual copy of the application from the township website, fill it out and email it to the office.

What exactly does a township trustee do? Find out here. Wayne Township Fire Department Inc. In , then-fire chief Adams reached a new agreement with the nonprofit. City county councilor Jared Evans said the board members should pay it back. Mike Lang provided the following response to WRTV regarding the councilors' comments last week: We have discussed dissolving the nonprofit in the past.
Throughout the previous twenty-one years, each board member, trustee, and fire chief have been able to see the good that is accomplished through the utilization of Wayne Township Fire Department, Inc. Unfortunately, the actions and ideas from Chief Adams will tarnish the many years of community support that was accomplished.
I am not familiar with Indy Public Safety Foundation, but I am not opposed to utilizing them if they are an appropriate alternative. Trustee Jones spoke many times throughout his campaign and since being elected, that he was not a firefighter and would allow the fire chief to run the fire department.
While I was certainly in Chief Adams' administration, he made decisions that were outside of my recommendations. Ultimately, Chief Adams had ideas and made decisions that he is not readily available to explain. Since my appointment as fire chief, my administration and I have been working to prevent the issues that have been raised. We immediately changed the overtime interpretation to prevent much of the previous overtime. We have worked with the union representatives to change the language in the labor-management agreement that allows administrators to preschedule overtime.
The nonprofit board has agreed that the concept of a volunteer ambulance service is not practical and Chief Adams' idea was immediately stopped. The use of the non-profit corporation will only be used for donations, grants, and special projects if it is kept as an active partnership.
If kept, I will ask a township board member to be the fire chief designee for additional oversight. I will ask the non-profit board to set up a meeting with the Indy Public Safety Foundation to determine if they would be a better option. My thoughts would be that Trustee Jones unfortunately was placed into defending actions and decisions that he did not understand or know were being made by his appointed fire chief.
I serve at the pleasure of Trustee Jones. As long as I am the fire chief, we will work to regain the trust of the elected officials and public that we are honored to serve. Copyright Scripps Media, Inc.
