The agenda published by the township board shall include any such request made by voters if the request is relevant to powers granted to electors under the Township Code.

(c) Additional agenda items. Any matter or proposal not set forth in the published agenda shall not be considered at the annual meeting other than advising that the matter may be considered at a special meeting of the electors at a later date.
