Mackinac County shifts Circuit Court clerk to nonunion status, creates union deputy clerk position
Summary
The county moved the Circuit Court Clerk to non‑union status and authorized hiring a union Deputy Clerk at pay grade 5 step 1, citing court consolidation and an office vacancy; the board approved the change unanimously Feb. 12.
County Clerk Hillary Vowell told the Mackinac County Board of Commissioners Feb. 12 that a Deputy Clerk position was needed after court consolidation and the Circuit Court Clerk moved to a different office. District Court Administrator Christine Bawol attended to answer questions.
On a motion by Commissioner Austin Kimberling, seconded by Commissioner Judy St. Louis-Scott, the board moved the Circuit Court Clerk to a non‑union court employee and authorized the County Clerk to hire a new Deputy Clerk as a union position at pay grade 5 step 1. The motion passed by unanimous roll call.
The job description for the new Deputy Clerk was presented at the meeting; the record indicates the position was created to address staffing needs following consolidation but does not include the name of the departing Circuit Court Clerk or salary-dollar totals beyond the pay-grade designation.
