Board schedules Loudermill hearing after closed‑session legal discussion
Summary
After a closed-session legal discussion under MCL 15.268, the Mackinac County Board of Commissioners directed that an employee be sent notice for a Loudermill hearing on Feb. 5 and designated two commissioners and the county clerk to conduct the hearing.
The Mackinac County Board of Commissioners met Jan. 22 and, after convening a closed session to discuss a legal opinion under MCL 15.268, voted to send notice to an employee to appear for a Loudermill (pre‑disciplinary) hearing on Thursday, Feb. 5 at 10:00 a.m.
The motion to move into closed session passed unanimously on roll call. After returning to open session, the board voted to issue the Loudermill notice and to designate Commissioners Mike Patrick and Daryl Schroeder and County Clerk Hillary Vowell to conduct the hearing. All members present voted in favor; Commissioner John Kling was recorded as absent.
A Loudermill hearing is a procedural step that gives an employee an opportunity to respond before an employer makes a disciplinary decision. The board cited Michigan Compiled Laws (MCL 15.268) when moving to closed session to discuss the legal matter. The hearing is scheduled to proceed on Feb. 5 at 10:00 a.m. at county facilities.
