The Albion Joint Fire District board has approved putting a question about how its treasurer is selected before voters at the district’s December 8, 2026 annual election, according to the board’s October 15 meeting minutes.

The proposal would make the treasurer’s office appointive rather than elective. The resolution describes an annual appointment. The commissioners’ October vote authorized submitting the question to district voters; it did not itself establish that voters have approved the change.

What the proposed question asks

The resolution says the ballot proposition is to ask, in substance, whether the office of treasurer should be appointed instead of elected. It identifies the electorate as the qualified resident electors of the Albion Joint Fire District.

The minutes describe the treasurer’s office as an elective position established when the district was formed. They say commissioners consider an annual appointment to be in the district’s best interests, but the resolution does not set out a more detailed explanation of that position.

What commissioners approved

Commissioner Mufford moved the resolution and Commissioner Howes seconded it. The minutes record votes from commissioners Buczek, Howes and Mufford and declare the resolution adopted. Chairman Cheverie was listed as excused from the meeting.

The December 8 date comes from the adopted resolution. A separate election-logistics passage in the same minutes contains an unclear time notation. Voting hours and a confirmed polling location are therefore not supplied here. This report also does not establish registration requirements or individual voter eligibility.

The source is the district’s complete October 15 regular-meeting minutes, linked from its official Agendas & Minutes page. The next regular board meeting is listed in those minutes as November 12. This report describes the October 15 action; it does not report a later election result or confirm whether a subsequent notice changed the arrangements.
