10/23/12- The Fowlerville Village Council will continue to operate without a manager until they have the funds to fill the position. The village has been without a manager since April, and with around a $30,000 deficit, members agree that it doesnât seem likely for the position to be filled by the end of this year. Village President Pro-Tem David Kuehn told WHMI that it just isn't in the budget to hire a full-time manager right now, but that the council will revisit the issue once the 2013 budget is set. Though Keuhn mentioned looking at the issue after the New Year, members think it might be up to a year or more before they can afford to fill the position. The manager duties are currently split between Village President Wayne Copeland and Village Clerk Kathy Arledge. However, members are looking into other options to ensure that all duties are reassigned appropriately until a new manager is hired. (SO)
