Structure of Government
Miami Township has a Township form of government. The Trustees govern the
Township and the Clerk is the fiscal officer. Each is elected for a four year term,
on a nonpartisan ballot. One Trustee and the Clerk are elected in the same election
and the other two Trustees are elected two years later. On the first of January of
each year one of the Trustees is designated President of the Board.
The Board of Trustees of Miami Township meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month at
7:30 p.m. at the Miami Township Hall at 112 South Miami Avenue in Cleves, Ohio.
Township Trustees serve on the following committees: Administration, Fire/EMS,
Police, Roads, Zoning, Board of Health, Senior Center, Cemetery and Waste Collection.
Miami Township is in the First Congressional District (U.S. House of Representatives),
