Berrien County commissioners postpone Road Department staffing change resolution
Summary
On March 19, 2026, the Berrien County Board of Commissioners voted 9-0 to postpone Resolution P2603175, a proposed complement change for the Road Department, saying the commission is "seeking additional information." The measure was removed from the consent calendar and delayed for further review.
Vice Chairperson Teri Sue Freehling called the Berrien County Board of Commissioners to order on March 19. On a motion by Commissioner Chokwe Pitchford, supported by Commissioner Julie Wuerfel, the Board voted to postpone Resolution P2603175, a proposed staffing (complement) change for the Road Department; the roll call recorded nine yeas and no nays.
The resolution had been pulled from the consent calendar for separate consideration earlier in the meeting. Commissioners indicated they needed more information before deciding. As recorded in the minutes, the Board said it is "seeking additional information" before taking further action on the staffing proposal. The postponement means county staff will be expected to return with the requested details at a future meeting.
