The Committee reviewed the packet regarding the disciplinary action prepared by the Coordinator/Planner office and the Antrim County Transportation office.  The Committee moved to Room 203-B to meet with the union at 1:03 p.m.

 

Peter Garwood, Coordinator/Planner, explained that because the Administration Committee is a standing committee of the Board of Commissioners, they are subject to the Open Meetings Act.  Therefore, the Committee can only go into closed session if Mr. Marshall requests it.

Closed session began at 1:05 p.m.

The Committee informed the union of their decision.

 

Motion by Laura Stanek, supported by Jerroll Drenth, to accept the offer from the Union that Mr. Marshall will resign his employment with Antrim County Transportation if that we remove the termination notice from Mr. Marshall’s file as long as he doesn’t apply for a job with Antrim County in the future.  Motion carried – unanimous.

 

Mr. Donick indicated that he will formally withdraw the grievance once papers are signed.

 

4.       Sheriff Department Position Vacancy

Mr. Garwood informed the Committee that a Corrections Officer has resigned as of April 1, 2007.

 

Motion by Laura Stanek, supported by Jerroll Drenth, to recommend the Board of Commissioners approve the release of funds and authorize the Sheriff to hire a new corrections officer to fill the soon to be vacant corrections officer position (April 1, 2007).  Motion carried – unanimous.
