Sand Lake meeting adjourned after no quorum; Council member Stieg urges civility
Summary
The Village of Sand Lake’s March 16, 2026 meeting was called to order but adjourned for lack of a quorum. Council member Stieg thanked outgoing members, urged residents to avoid personal attacks on officials and staff, and the body rescheduled to March 27, 2026 at 7 p.m.
Trustee Helton called the Village of Sand Lake’s regular meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. March 16 and led the Pledge of Allegiance. A roll call showed only Helton and Council member Stieg were present; Doerr, Wright, Christensen, Latham and Camilleri were absent, and Stieg said the assembly did not have a quorum to transact business.
With business limited by the lack of a quorum, Council member Stieg addressed residents and attendees. He said he had “disagreements with some of the decisions made,” adding that “disagreements are good and show members are thinking independently.” He thanked the previous council members for their service and asked residents to refrain from personal attacks on former council members, employees or their families. “Please extend understanding to Marcia and myself as we navigate the transition ahead,” he said.
The meeting was adjourned and rescheduled for Friday, March 27, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. The motion to adjourn until that date was made by Marcia and supported by Council member Stieg; the transcript does not record a roll-call vote or tally for the motion.
The meeting record lists the meeting location as 2 E. Maple St., Sand Lake, MI 49343. No committee business, ordinances, motions besides the adjournment, or public comments were recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
