Sec. 15. (a) If the executive resigns or dies, the former executive or the former executive’s personal representative shall immediately deliver to the new executive custody of all funds and property of the township. The new executive shall then issue a call for a special meeting of the township legislative body, to be held not more than fifteen (15) days later. At the special meeting the legislative body shall:

(1) examine the records of the township;

(2) inquire into the conduct of the executive’s office; and

(3) approve in whole or in part the records, receipts, and expenditures of the township to the date of death or resignation of the former executive.

     (b) In the new executive’s annual report to the legislative body, the new executive shall distinguish between the new executive’s transactions and those of the former executive. The legislative body need not, at its annual meeting under IC 36-6-6-9, review items in the report that were considered at the special meeting.
