Onsted council approves warrants, appoints Title VI coordinator and directs implementation of closed-session personnel decision

Onsted, Michigan — The Onsted Village Council on Jan. 16 approved warrants totaling $64,487.61, appointed Stephanie Julian as the village’s Title VI Coordinator and held a closed-session meeting to consider a personnel matter before directing village leaders to implement the decisions reached in closed session.

The council’s minutes record an approval of warrants in the amount of $64,487.61; the transcript lists a mover and seconder for that motion but also records that council member Mike Slick was absent at roll call. The minutes do not reconcile that discrepancy. The motion carried.

Council then approved the appointment of Stephanie Julian as the Village of Onsted Title VI Coordinator by a motion from Steve Muth, supported by Mark Robotham. The council later voted to enter a closed session under Michigan statute MCL 15.268(a) to consider a personnel issue. After returning to open session, the council voted to instruct Village President Robert Schafer and Village President Pro Tem Libby Chase to implement the decisions made in closed session.

The minutes note one public commenter spoke later in the meeting but provide no details about the remarks. The special meeting was adjourned at 7:50 p.m.

The council did not record further public detail about the personnel matter discussed in closed session; the motion recorded in the minutes directs village leaders to implement whatever decisions were reached there.
