3/5/14 - The former manager of a local municipality has been fired from his position in a central Michigan community. The Albion City Council voted 5-2 Monday to terminate the employment of Manager Dan Bishop. Bishop was formerly the Brighton Township manager for just over three years before leaving in June of 2012 for the Albion job. Bishopâs termination followed a closed-door session that was held âregarding a complaint against the city manager.â The Battle Creek Enquirer reports that this isnât the first time Bishop has been let go by a municipality, having been fired as Milan City Manager in October 2008. No reason was ever publicly identified for that termination. The Albion City Councilâs agenda for Mondayâs meeting indicated an executive session was requested by Bishop to consult with the city attorney regarding pending litigation. But a second closed-door session took place after the council voted to discuss Bishopâs job status. Bishop was recently a finalist for the city manager job in Bangor, in southwest Michigan, although that job went to someone else in December. (JK)
