12 office of supervisor or trustee or unless the appointment is
13 specifically authorized by law. A supervisor or trustee may,

19 no contractual relationship between the township and the other
20 unit of local government. This amendatory Act of 1995 is
21 declarative of existing law and is not a new enactment.
22 (b) On and after the effective date of this amendatory Act
