6/18/14 - The process to appoint a manager is now in line with current ordinance and better reflects typical practice following a vote by the Fowlerville Village Council on Monday night. Former Village Manager Joe Merucci resigned in April of 2012. Council President Wayne Copeland assumed those responsibilities and was named the part time manager. He also took over the duties of the DPW supervisor when that position became vacant. Despite some confusing votes by Council to change administrative and elected roles and also clarify associated salaries, the current structure stands. Council directed village attorney David Stoker at the last meeting to draft language changes for consideration and possible adoption to clarify the process to appoint a manager. He again noted that Council has always made the decision in appointing a manager but thatâs not how the charter is structured so the changes better reflect typical practice. The ordinance amendment was approved unanimously at Mondayâs meeting, with Clerk Kathy Arledge absent. (JM)
