2/14/13 - With nobody to fill the village manager position, the Fowlerville Village Council has amended an ordinance to allow Village President Wayne Copeland to perform the managerâs duties in the long term. Along with Village Clerk Kathy Arledge, Copeland has been performing the duties of the village manager since Joe Merucci quit the position in March of last year. Under village ordinance those duties automatically fall to the village president, but the village council recently amended the ordinance to allow Copeland to officially continue in that capacity. Arledge was promoted to full time status to provide Copeland with assistance in those duties. She says that spreading the duties of the manager, DPW director, and DPW supervisor to other village employees, including herself, has saved the village $300,000 over the past three years. (TD)
