Board narrows applicants, schedules interviews and votes to enter closed session under MCL 15.2681f
Summary
The board voted to go into closed session to review employment applications, then identified four candidates for first-round interviews and set a January 15 interview meeting with initial interviews to be held by Zoom if necessary.
Ogemaw County commissioners voted to enter a closed session to review employment applications and to protect candidate confidentiality under MCL 15.2681f. Committee member (voice S1) moved for the closed session citing the statute; the motion was seconded and received recorded affirmative votes.
After procedural matters, the board narrowed a pool of 23 applicants down to an initial interview list. Commissioners identified four candidates for first-round interviews: Jody Holbrook, Rochelle Jimenez, Adam Thompson and Jeffrey Thornton. The commissioners agreed to invite those four and to hold first-round interviews by Zoom if candidates prefer; in-person interviews were described as preferable for second-round finalists.
Commissioners discussed logistics, including a suggested January 15 start time of 4 p.m. for interviews and guidance that follow-up questions be limited in the first round to keep to the schedule. Staff will contact candidates to confirm availability and circulate a meeting schedule in advance.
