WEST OLIVE, Mich. — The Ottawa County Board of Commissioners met for the second time on Tuesday evening after suddenly implementing major changes within the group.
It was a busy Tuesday night in Ottawa County, with close to 200 people at the county board's third commission meeting.
Dozens of people went up to speak about those recent changes made by a majority of the board members earlier this month.
So many people attended that an overflow room was created and a section for people next to speak.
Many of them showed up an hour early before the meeting. One woman says she appreciates the change in the meeting's timing, but disagrees with a majority of these board's recent actions.
Most of the people who spoke supported the majority of the county commissioners appointed John Gibbs as county administrator, replacing John Shay, and also attempted to replace the county's current legal counsel with Kallman Legal Group, a firm known for championing conservative causes.
A couple of people say they came here to speak up for the commissioners following the last meeting two weeks ago. They add that they're looking to show their support for these commissioners and their actions on the first day of taking the oath inside these chambers.
WATCH:
These commissioners did have a laundry list of items to get to at the meeting.
Commissioners did pass unanimously; a few deal with pay raises and budget adjustments, including accepting grants.
