(a) The legal voters of a township at an annual township meeting or at a
special township meeting called for that purpose may, by
written resolution by a majority vote of the legal voters present and
voting on the resolution, transfer from one or more township funds to any other
township fund or funds, or to the general road and bridge fund, or to any fund
raised by taxation or bonds upon all the property in the township for roads
and bridges, the surplus of any fund or funds over and above an amount
necessary to meet township charges and expenses until the time of
receiving revenue levied at the next annual township meeting.  The fund or
funds ordered transferred shall be transferred and paid into the other
fund or funds and shall be paid out on proper orders of officers
authorized by law to expend the fund or funds.
(b) A resolution adopted under this Section shall specify the estimated
amount of the proper and necessary charges and expenses of the township against
the fund or funds until the time of the receipt of revenue after the next
annual township meeting and the particular amount of surplus of the township
fund or funds to be paid over, shall designate the particular fund or
funds to be transferred to and paid into, and shall be submitted to the
township meeting in writing or reduced to writing before any vote is
taken on it.
(c) Whenever it is desired to submit the resolution at a special township
meeting, a special township meeting may be called when the supervisor, together
with at least 25 voters of the township, file with the township clerk
a written petition stating the purpose for which the special township meeting
is to be called.  Upon the filing of the petition, the township clerk shall
give notice of the special township meeting in the same manner and for the same
length of time as notice is required to be given of the annual township
meeting.  The notice shall state the object of the special meeting.
The special meeting shall be held at the place of the last annual township
meeting.
