PLYMOUTH — In a special meeting on Wednesday morning, the Marshall County Sewer District rejected a declaration by the Marshall County Commissioners.
In their meeting on June 16, the Commissioners declared the seat on the Sewer District Board held by Thomas McFadden vacant and began the process of choosing a replacement. Wednesday, the Sewer District board passed a resolution affirming McFadden and rejecting the Commissioner’s declaration of vacancy.
Lawyer Andy Boxberger presented the resolution to the Board on Wednesday, stating that sewer districts in the state were specifically set up as a completely independent body, separate from any county, city, or town, so that they have the ability to act in matters of public health, independent from political pressures.
The Board voted unanimously to accept the resolution rejecting the Commissioners declaration of vacancy with McFadden abstaining.
