After closed session on complaint, Gladwin mayor says attorney found no disciplinary issues
Summary
The council entered a closed attorney-client session concerning a complaint and an investigation; after returning to open session Mayor Sarah Kile reported that, following attorney advice, no disciplinary action was required.
The Gladwin City Council met in closed session on July 21 to discuss attorney-client privileged information related to a complaint and an investigation, then returned to open session with no disciplinary outcome.
Council voted to enter closed session at 6:26 p.m.; the roll call in favor listed Crawford, Darlington, Esiline, Gutierrez, Platt, Sischo and Winarski. The council returned to open session at 6:58 p.m. and Mayor Sarah Kile said, "after advice from our attorney and careful consideration no issues requiring disciplinary action were identified." No disciplinary actions were announced and the council took no further formal action on the matter during the meeting.
Why it matters: the council followed statutory procedures for attorney-client privileged discussion of personnel/complaint matters by using closed session; the stated result was that no disciplinary measures were recommended by counsel.
What’s next: the transcript records no further directives or motions related to the investigation at the July 21 meeting; any additional action would appear on a future agenda if necessary.
