Mark a Hackel v. MacOmb County Board of Commissioners

Summary

The Court held that the Macomb County Board of Commissioners could use a validly enacted ordinance to require the county executive to provide real-time, read-only access to county financial-management software. It interpreted the charter’s reference to limitations imposed by “law” to include valid county ordinances, provided they do not conflict with the charter or superior law. The Court therefore reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for further proceedings.
