A former Leland Township employee, Ken Hagstrom, filed a complaint in Leelanau County Circuit Court this month against the township and its supervisor, Clint Mitchell.
Hagstrom, who is represented by the Acker Law Firm, states in the complaint that he was wrongfully terminated by the township from his full-time maintenance position of 29 years. The settlement demand must be over $25k to be considered for circuit court.
The lawsuit comes after the township board approved 4-1 in January to eliminate the maintenance position due to budgeting and cost effective saving measures.
