The delegation of a zoning ordinance enforcement officer will be done with a resolution, as it is temporary, directed at a specific act of special concern that has no bearing on the general conduct of the township (and the residents residing within).Īnother rule of law arises when the township chooses to amend or repeal an ordinance or resolution, which is identified as the equal dignity doctrine.

The confusion is understandable as the township board is often addressing resolutions and ordinances in the same meeting.
