Motion to hold closed session on Henry Ford College appointment fails on roll call
Summary
Trustees voted on a motion to enter closed session to discuss appointing an interim Henry Ford College president; the motion did not reach the two-thirds threshold and failed after a roll-call vote.
Board members considered a motion to meet in closed session to receive information from an ad hoc committee and to discuss appointing an interim president for Henry Ford College.
A trustee moved that the board meet in closed session under appointment provisions that would permit candidates to request confidentiality for employment matters. During a roll-call vote the transcript records the following responses: Trustee O'Jatmey — yes; Trustee Berry — yes; Trustee D'Ambrosio — no; Trustee Petlichkoff — no; Trustee Watts (vice chair) — no; Chair Mozip — yes. The motion did not reach the two-thirds majority required, and the attempt to go into closed session failed.
After the failed roll call, trustees discussed alternative steps. The chair said she would correspond individually with trustees and indicated an open special meeting could be called later to allow the college to appoint an interim president publicly. No final appointment was made at the meeting.
