Bradley A. Kersten, Supervisor
In addition to serving as the Township’s legal agent and Secretary to
the Assessing Board of Review, the Township Supervisor is responsible for
moderating board meetings, developing the township budget,
recommending members to the various boards and commissions, and
managing the day-to-day operations of the Township.
A Message From Your Supervisor....
We are approaching the end of yet another challenging, yet exciting year.
During this time of year, everyone is preparing for the cold weather and the upcoming holiday season. The holidays are
a wonderful time to look back with gratitude for what we have and to celebrate the coming year with optimism and
enthusiasm. As I reflect on my first 5 months as your Supervisor, I would be remiss if I did not express my appreciation and
thanks to all our Chesterfield Township residents, along with Board of Trustees and the staff of Chesterfield Township. You
are all remarkable individuals, and I thank you all for the support you’ve shown this year, and during my transition from
Public Safety Director to Township Supervisor.
In the Supervisor’s Office we are preparing for our fiscal year 2022 budget. As your Township Supervisor, and Chief
Administrative Officer, I am responsible for the preparation and presentation of each fiscal year’s budget. Once the
prepared budget is finalized, I will present the budget to the Board of Trustees for adoption. I am excited to have the
opportunity to make a larger impact in my community, and look forward to the many challenges ahead.
In the last edition, I committed to working diligently with our leadership team and members of the staff to increase
communication with both employees and residents of our community. Our Township Facebook that had just been
created in the last edition has taken off with the Township posting two to three times a week, helping to ensure that the
community and employees are up-to-date with the latest information.
I also expressed my passion for the expansion and improvement of technology within the Township in the last edition.
I am proud to pass along that we have held multiple meetings with multiple vendors to find a solid foundation to
advance Chesterfield into the future. At the October 12, 2021 Board of Trustees meeting, the board passed a recom-
mendation to upgrade our current Township BS&A software program to BS&A Cloud. In addition to this upgrade, 27
participant user licenses and 7 full user licenses for our Laserfiche program were approved. This will allow for all staff to
participant in our upgraded software, and will be what takes Chesterfield Township into the future.
As we enter 2022, be assured we will continue to act in the best interests of our residents. Let us all continue to work
together, for more progress and further development of our beautiful Township. Everyone be safe, and have a great
holiday season.
Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year…..

Snow Flurries Got You Worried?
• Did you know that Chesterfield Township has the ability to declare a snow emergency?
Snow emergencies are declared by the Township Supervisor. No person shall park or leave
any vehicle or trailer on a public road in the Township when a snow emergency has been
declared. Further, within two hours after notice of a snow emergency has been given, any
motor vehicle or trailer parked on any public road within the Township may be removed by
the Township or its agents. For immediate notification of a snow emergency, sign up online
for our Notify Me service at www.chesterfieldtwp.org.
• Did you know that Chesterfield Township is not
responsible for removing snow on any roads?
The Macomb County Department of Roads is
who maintains all public (County and State)
roads during winter and otherwise. If you have
concerns regarding the condition of your street,
please reach out to the MCDR at (586) 463-8671
or at roads.macombgov.org. Private roads are
the responsibilty of the residents who reside on
the street.
Helpful Tips for Winterizing Your Home
• Turn off your water at the meter: Close the valve after the water meter. By doing this, water
will not continuously run if a pipe bursts.
• Winterize your pipes: Focus on your outside hose bibs, sprinkler system, and pipes on the
outside walls of your home. Drain the water from pipes and add insulation or heat tape.
• Crawl Spaces: Insulate your crawl space and add insulation or heat tape to water pipes.
• Set Thermostats: Set your thermostat to 55o F. This, in addition to keeping cabinet doors
open, will keep pipes warm enough.
• Have someone check on your home: Ask a trusted person to keep watch on your home to
check for potential problems. Should a problem arise, contact the Water
Department immediately to assist in further preventing potential damage.

The Sports Academy
The Sports Academy’s MI Burn Developmental League and the Chesterfield Township Leisure Services Department have teamed up
to provide a great experience for all children interested in the game of soccer. This developmental league is a popular, exciting, fun,
and energetic program for players 5-11 years old. This unique league provides players with professional training and coaching while
instilling love for the game. Focusing on player development, MI Burn aims to foster a safe, fun, and educational experience for your
child. The Sports Academy will adhere to any COVID-19 protocols that are currently in place by the MDHHS.
Through this league, games will run with fewer players on the field to allow for more touches on the ball and more physical and mental
involvement in the game. Practice will be held on Wednesday evenings, with games held Saturdays. Teams will play 7 games through-
out each season, with an available indoor facility on site for inclement weather days. Register your player early to guarantee a space
in the league! With registration, each player will receive a T-shirt jersey.

We want to get to know YOU! Share your story and the twists & turns that have made you
who you are today. We want to hear it! Speakers will be prompted to answer five pre-as-

as you would like in a presentation lasting no more than 5 minutes. Audience members will
learn more about fellow Chesterfield Senior Center friends through this speaking engage-
ment. Commit to being a speaker on or before March 31. Alternatively, if you prefer not to
