Gaines Charter Township is governed by a Township Board made up of seven members; Supervisor, Clerk, Treasurer, and four Trustees.
The Trustees are members of the Township Board, with an equal vote in legislative and administrative government decisions within the jurisdiction of the Township Board.  Unlike the Supervisor, Clerk, and Treasurer, Trustees are not delegated specific statutory duties and responsibilities.
