Township Trustees
Washington Township is governed by a board composed of three elected trustees. The trustees adopt resolutions; approve the annual budget, payrolls and bills; set policy and provide general direction for the operation of the township.
"Dublin/Washington Township is a great place to live. I enjoy the small town feel, where you know your neighbors, you look out for each other, and children can play safely."
Jan Rozanski’s term as Trustee began January 1, 2020. Born in Detroit Michigan, Mr. Rozanski came to the Columbus area by way of Cincinnati in 1978, when he moved to Dublin. He was appointed to the City of Dublin Board of Zoning Appeals in 1982, was elected to Dublin City Council in 1986 and served two terms, five of those years as Mayor. For 21 years, Jan worked as a building inspector for the City of Dublin and currently works in this capacity part time for the City of Upper Arlington.
