The Board shall appoint a Treasurer and a Secretary, who shall be the same person, and who may or may not be a member of the Board, except where the Board selects a trust company or a banking institution to act as Treasurer, in which case it shall elect an individual as Secretary.
A. 
The Treasurer shall receive all moneys due the Township and deposit same promptly upon receipt thereof in a bank, banking institution, or trust company in the name of the Township. He shall keep distinct and accurate accounts of all sums received from taxes and other sources, which account shall be open to inspection of the Supervisors and taxpayers of the Township. He shall pay out all moneys received by him only on orders drawn by the Supervisors of the Township. He shall annually state his accounts and lay the same, together with the vouchers, before the Township auditors for settlement.
B. 
The Secretary shall be clerk to the Board of Supervisors. He shall keep a record of the proceedings of the officers in a minute book in which he shall also record all court orders relative to the laying out, opening, and vacating of roads. The minute book, account book and other financial records shall be carefully preserved by the Secretary and shall be turned over to his successor in office. Miscellaneous records and papers of the Township other than the minute book and account book may be destroyed with the consent of the Supervisors after the lapse of six years from the date of such records.
C. 
The Secretary shall prepare and write the annual tax duplicate of the Township, and shall receive such salary, wages or other compensation therefor as shall be fixed by the Township Supervisors. The combined amount paid to the Secretary and Treasurer as salary, wages or other compensation for services, exclusive of the compensation for the preparation of the annual tax duplicate, shall not exceed three per centum of the money paid out by the Treasurer, but it shall not be less than $75 per annum, and the calculation of such maximum compensation shall not include any percentage upon moneys paid out by the Treasurer for the repayment of loans, notes, certificates, or other evidences of indebtedness, or other borrowed moneys.
D. 
The Board of Supervisors, by resolution, may appoint an assistant Secretary who shall, in the absence or disability of the Secretary, perform the duties and exercise the powers of the Secretary.
