County advised to delay placing new Road Commission members until Jan. 1
Summary
Administrator Jesse Osmer told the Personnel Committee attorneys recommended waiting until Jan. 1 to place new Road Commission members because state law (MCL) is unclear on earlier placement.
The Personnel Committee received an update on the Road Commission expansion on Aug. 5. County Administrator Jesse Osmer said there was a question about whether new Road Commission members could be seated before Jan. 1. Legal guidance from the county’s attorneys recommended, out of caution, that the county not place new commissioners prior to Jan. 1 because the Michigan Compiled Laws (MCL) were not clear on the timing.
The minutes record the attorneys’ recommendation but do not include a citation to a specific statute, a formal legal opinion, or next procedural steps for appointment. No formal motion was recorded; the item was an informational update.
