Between the Elmwood Township Board’s February and March meetings, the township harbormaster – Pete Moon – stepped down to pursue work in the private sector. His last day was earlier this month.
Township Supervisor Jeff Shaw said he’s always been saddened to see qualified employees like Moon go but encouraged the harbormaster to take up his next career opportunity. And for the township, this presents a chance to make some changes.
At a March 4 special session, the board agreed to turn the harbormaster into a seasonal position rather than all year. This is because the township hopes to reallocate some of its resources that went into the marina to a year-round buildings and grounds position. The necessity for a permanent buildings and grounds person was discussed at last month’s meeting.
