1/8/14 - A list of goals has been outlined for Hartland Township to accomplish in 2014, and accomplishing those objectives will be a big priority for the township manager. Several goals were discussed and incorporated into the township strategic plan at last night's meeting of the board of trustees. They are divided into three categories: quality of life, which includes goals like park development and road improvements; sustainability, which includes looking at police service, water and sewer, and fiscal health; and community development, which focuses on new commercial or residential proposals. While the township as a whole will work to accomplish these goals, Supervisor Bill Fountain tells WHMI that Manager James Wickman is also personally responsible for making sure progress is made. He says when the township hired Wickman a few years back, the board needed a way to evaluate his yearly performance. They decided to have the manager provide a list of objectives at the beginning of each year, which would be incorporated into that year's strategic plan. At the end of each year, he is evaluated on how he pursues and accomplishes those goals. Wickman's 2013 evaluation will take place at the board's next meeting later this month. (TD)
