Regular Township Meetings are the First Thursday of each Month held at 7005 Frazeysburg Rd., Nashport, OH. 73830
MUSKINGUM TOWNSHIP MEETING SCHEDULE:
The Township Regular Meeting will be Thursday, May 1st at 7:00 pm. We will be opening bids for Paving and Chip-n-Seal. The specifications are on this website for both bids. They are in the bid specifications page.
The Township may be using a different approach to out roads. We were unable to pass a road levy, and will continue to use the tax dollars we get as efficiently as possible. We may be using a road covering called cape seal. This is where we first chip-n-seal a road then in a few weeks top coat it with a microseal that will essentially look and act like a paved road. This method, although not cheap, is less than pavement, does not raise our roads as much as pavement and should extend the life of the road approximately 10 years. For a better look at this process, go to this You Tube video for a look at how the process called Cape Seal is done.

Governance
As the Ohio Territory became populated, it was only natural that the surveyed townships should become the basic unit of local government. In the early years, township government cared for the poor, maintained the roads, preserved the peace, registered brands and fulfilled the needs of local government generally.
Muskingum Township and all other Ohio townships are a political subdivision of the state of Ohio. As such, townships have only those powers granted to it by the state legislature and perform functions defined by the state. To keep pace with the demands of changing times, the functions, duties and obligations of the township have changed over the years.
Demands for increased or different services have prompted the state legislature to grant Ohio's 1,309 townships the authority to fulfill many of the changing demands.
Township administration in all Ohio townships is governed by three trustees and a fiscal officer, each elected for a four-year term. Officially they fill their offices on a part-time basis, but they are always ready to meet their responsibilities and put in many hours of work to serve their constituents. Their accessibility to the township residents and their intimate knowledge of their community, its needs, and its citizens enables them to offer more personal service than any other unit of government.
