LUDINGTON, MI – Ludington resident Tom Rotta has sued the city of Ludington, alleging city officials violated Michigan’s Open Meetings Act by authorizing a $90,000-plus sewer repair in July 2011 without a public vote by the city council and without soliciting multiple bids.
According to the lawsuit, City Manager John Shay sought and obtained approval from city council members via email to award a contract to Hallack Contracting to replace a sewer main under Brother Street.
Shay then authorized the contract, the lawsuit alleges.
