Mackinac County schedules Loudermill hearing after closed‑session legal discussion
Summary
After a closed session citing MCL 15.268(i)(h), the Mackinac County Board of Commissioners directed staff to notify an employee to appear for a Loudermill hearing Feb. 5 and named commissioners and the clerk to conduct the hearing.
The Mackinac County Board of Commissioners moved into a closed session at 4:45 p.m. on Jan. 22 to discuss a legal opinion, citing Michigan statute MCL 15.268(i)(h). After returning to open session, the board voted to send notice for an employee to appear at a Loudermill hearing scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 5 at 10:00 a.m., and designated Commissioners Mike Patrick and Daryl Schroeder and County Clerk Hillary Vowell to conduct the hearing.
The board recorded its closed-session votes by roll call and later recorded the designation and hearing date in the minutes. The minutes do not name the employee; the action reflects the board’s choice to pursue a pre‑disciplinary Loudermill proceeding as recorded in the meeting minutes.
The statute cited during the motion was MCL 15.268(i)(h), which the minutes list as the legal basis for the closed‑session discussion. The minutes do not include additional documentary materials or a public explanation beyond the statutory citation and the scheduling details.
