Official Becker Township Board Regular meeting minutes are available on this website after approval.  Minutes are normally approved at the meeting following when they were taken and then uploaded to this site.  Sometimes there is a lag between meeting approval and upload.  Feel free to email the clerk to obtain a copy of approved minutes if this is the case.  Annual meeting minutes are available on the Annual Meetings Page.

Public Record Access
Public information not currently available on the website may be available by request.  Methods of data request:

Email:  If emailed data is adequate, please email requests to clerk.  Information requested in email format needs to be requested by the same email address where the data is to be sent.  This step is an important verification so we know the email we use is correct.  A return receipt may be included with the information, please select yes so we know the information was delivered. 

On-site:
Come to the township hall during office hours to request data.  All public information is available for viewing during township hours, however, it is preferred that you provide prior notice for any data (other than minutes) that is more than one year old to allow the clerk time to obtain the data. 
Copies may be made on-site at a cost of $ 0.25 per page.  Other costs will be given prior to the filling of any data request.  

​Older minutes are now almost all available online for the Becker Town Board.  HERE  Please email clerk if you are having trouble finding a particular set.  If you want to review the physical version of minutes, it must be done by appointment at Town Hall with the clerk or deputy clerk.   There may be a time charge as the original books are to remain in site of staff at all times.  

There are fees for paper copies of documents.  The fee schedule located on the permits page includes fees for document requests.  It is updated yearly.  Routine information usually has no additional fees, but older information may take time to gather and may incur fees.  Researched items cost vary based on time involved and a cost estimate will be provided after written request is submitted. 

Other data often requested:
  • Copies of the board packets are available upon request.  If you wish to receive a copy via email at the same time as supervisors, please submit your request to the clerk from the email you wish the copy sent.  If you require a paper copy, attendance at the meeting is best.  Otherwise copies are available at the current rates indicated on the fee schedule on the permit page.  Town Board Packet retention began in October 2016.  Prior to that date all information was distributed at meetings only and not retained in packet form.
  • Board packets are available online at no charge and no need for request for approximately 1 month.  click HERE
  • Copies of the most recent Board of Audit Reports and audit reports are available upon  request. These can be emailed at no cost or you may stop into the office and obtain a paper copy.  
  • Financial data is available monthly at the board meetings.  If you wish to obtain current financial data, please email the clerk.  
  • See the Data Request Policy on our Policies page for more information.
