Due to the large number of applicants for the temporary appointment as Macomb County Clerk/Register of Deeds, a judges’ meeting to fill the position has been rescheduled for next month.
Macomb County Chief Judge James Biernat Jr. announced Tuesday the meeting set for April 13 will now be held May 7.
“Given the judges’ busy schedules, and the surprising number of applicants to fill this vacancy, it just isn’t realistic for the judges to review the resumes and cover letters submitted by this Friday,” he said.
Karen Spranger was removed from the clerk’s position late last month when a judge ruled that an affidavit of residency presented when Spranger filed as a candidate for the post was invalid.
County employee Kathy Brower was appointed the next day to fill the spot until the judges held their meeting.
