Mindy Curry

Fiscal Officer

Term expires: To be confirmed

Mindy Curry serves as Swanton Township's Fiscal Officer, bringing more than 32 years of experience in accounting, payroll, and office management. Over her career, including 26 years as an office manager and 8 years as a councilwoman, Mindy has built a reputation for accuracy, clear communication, and public service ethics. She is also a Notary Public, underscoring her commitment to accountability and public trust.

As Fiscal Officer, Mindy is responsible for maintaining the township's financial records, preparing required reports, coordinating audits, issuing payments, and working closely with the Board of Trustees and departments on budgets and compliance with the Ohio Revised Code. The position is independent of the trustees and centers on accurate accounting, recordkeeping, and timely public reporting, so residents can easily understand how township funds are managed.

Mindy's priorities are straightforward: kindness, transparency, responsible spending, and reliable public information. She supports regular financial updates and clear access to minutes, reports, and fiscal documents, consistent with practices used by neighboring townships.

Outside of her official duties, Mindy enjoys time with family — she is proudly "Mimi" to her grandchildren — along with scrapbooking, camping, and travel. Grounded in her community, Mindy's approach is simple: serve with kindness, keep things clear, and ensure public dollars are handled with care.

Mindy views public service not as a title but as a responsibility. She is honored to serve the residents of Swanton Township and is committed to openness, accuracy, and steady financial stewardship.
