Saginaw County Commissioners uphold sheriff's decision on Sergeant Scofield after executive session
Summary
At a special meeting, commissioners entered executive session citing "4 056 e" and later voted to uphold Sheriff Mary’s decision regarding Sergeant Scofield; the transcript records a voice vote with no opposition noted but does not record vote counts or substantive details from the closed session.
A special meeting of the Saginaw County Commissioners, held shortly after 2 p.m., moved into executive session to consult with legal counsel and consider personnel matters and later approved a motion to uphold Sheriff Mary’s decision regarding Sergeant Scofield.
The meeting record shows an unidentified speaker citing a statutory basis—recorded in the transcript as "4 056 e"—to justify deliberations and attorney consultation in closed session. The board then voted by voice to enter an executive session.
After reconvening in open session, an unidentified speaker said, "I'll make a motion that we uphold sheriff Mary's decision regarding sergeant Scofield." The motion was seconded, and the transcript records the chair asking, "All in favor? Any opposed?" followed by "No," indicating no recorded opposition and that the motion carried. The transcript does not provide a roll-call vote or numerical tally.
The transcript contains no public description of the facts, allegations, findings, or disciplinary action that formed the basis for the sheriff's decision; those details, if any, were discussed during the executive session and are not in the public record. The minutes offer no additional information about the nature of the personnel matter, the sheriff's decision, or any conditions attached to the board's action.
Following the vote, commissioners moved to adjourn. The meeting concluded with a brief acknowledgment of "Pat."
