Jan 1, 2019 – Oct 19, 2026 Township Council
Only awards with a contract-specific official statement that the award was made without competitive bids or was exempt from public bidding are counted. Each counted entry links to that statement and quotes it. Some awards followed advertised requests for qualifications or proposals; those processes are identified separately. This count does not mean there was no competition, and does not establish illegality or poor value. Amounts are authorizations or rates, not verified spending.

71 additional entries need review. They are excluded from the verified-award count. Choose “Needs review” above to inspect them. Downloads include both groups with their evidence status.
What this registry can tell you
This is a record of documented awards, with the limits of the evidence made visible. Each entry distinguishes the township’s stated classification from an independent legal conclusion.
Submit a correction or source recordCount & coverage
The current Clerk legal-notice archive starts in August 2025. Earlier awards were checked against available council minutes and packets, including fresh 2021 downloads. This is not a complete transaction-level contract register. Missing adoption records, incomplete historical packet review, uncertain new awards versus amendments, and below-threshold purchases can add awards. The Needs records list is illustrative and not exhaustive. Multiple awards to the same vendor remain separate entries. The count does not measure unique vendors or total spending.
What is included and excluded
The verified set contains documented council awards without formal competitive bidding. Recurring appointments can appear more than once. Cooperative purchases, amendments, duplicate references and tabled proposals are excluded from this count. Unresolved entries remain in the separate review group.
Legal basis & competition
The legal basis is the classification stated in the source record. Professional-services appointments and other lawful exceptions can be awarded without sealed bids. An advertised qualification or proposal process can still provide competition. Missing selection information is labeled as unverified.
Amounts, votes & unknowns
Monthly rates, annual limits, hourly rates and other authorizations are preserved as stated. They are not added into a spending total. A listed award does not prove payment. Individual votes, terms and deliverables appear only where verified; unknown information is identified explicitly.
