Recount for Chesterfield Township Clerk Upholds Berry's Win
Macomb County recount workers determined Monday that Cindy Berry won the Nov. 6 election.
An election recount Monday upheld Cindy Berry's Nov. 6 win for Chesterfield Township clerk. The process, spearheaded by Macomb County election workers, began around 8:30 a.m. and officially wrapped up around 5 p.m. inside the township municipal offices, Berry said. "Obviously, I'm pleased with the outcome and I'm grateful we let the process work," Berry said. "I'm satisfied as well that now we can move on." Incumbent Jan Uglis requested the recount after a tight race that determined challenger Berry won by 43 ballots in early November. Berry has since assumed responsibilities in the full-time elected position. She says the recount even uncovered several extra votes that were previously unaccounted for. The county election recount results …

Clerk Election Recount Taking Place in Chesterfield
Incumbent Clerk Jan Uglis requested the recount after losing to Cindy Berry in a tight race.
The clerk election recount process began Monday morning in Chesterfield Township. Eight Macomb County teams were counting ballots from the Nov. 6 election in the municipal office board room. Their work could take place throughout the day with results expected at an undetermined time, township Deputy Clerk Eric Wurmlinger said. The process is the product of incumbent Clerk Jan Uglis' request for a recount after county results showed she lost to challenger Cindy Berry by 43 ballots. "If I did not do it, I would be wondering and it would be bothering me," she told Patch last month about seeking the recount. Uglis paid $400, much of which came from supporters, to the township for the recount request. The process will cost Chesterfield Township…

Chesterfield Township Board Denies Clerk Medical Retiree Benefits
The board majority rejected Jan Uglis' request for four years credit from previous township service for health benefits.
Chesterfield Township Clerk Jan Uglis cannot receive credit for four years of prior township service for medical retiree benefits, a board majority voted Monday night. In a Nov. 14 letter to the Board of Trustees, Uglis wrote, "As you are all well aware, I lost my bid for re-election Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2012. As a former Township trustee (1984-88) and township clerk (1992-96), I have eight years of dedicated service, although not consecutive due to election losses. "I have 12 consecutive years of service to the community as an eight-year employee of the township police department and four years as a current township clerk. I am requesting that the township board take into consideration my 38 years of dedication to Chesterfield not only as an …

Uglis Says Recount Will Bring Peace of Mind in Close Clerk's Race
Jan Uglis spoke of her decision to request a recount in the tight race against challenger Cindy Berry at the Chesterfield Township Board of Trustees meeting.
Departing Chesterfield Township Clerk Jan Uglis' decision to request a recount will bring peace of mind, she said Monday night. "If I did not do it, I would be wondering and it would be bothering me," she told Patch before the Board of Trustees meeting in Municipal Offices. While she praised her election staff, she said there were some tabulation problems at certain precincts that could mean the 43-vote loss to Cindy Berry was an error. "I would never ever question my election workers because it was a long night, but again, we had some issues," Uglis said. On Friday, she wrote a $400 check to the township for the recount request. She said much of that money came from donations from supporters. Deputy Clerk Eric Wurmlinger said Monday it …

Uglis Wants Recount in Chesterfield Clerk's Race
A majority of voters selected newcomer Cindy Berry for the full-time township seat in the Nov. 6 election.
Incumbent Clerk Jan Uglis is seeking a recount for the Nov. 6 election results that showed Cindy Berry earned slightly more votes for the full-time position. Berry, who along with new trustees Hank Anderson and David Joseph, was sworn in Friday at Municipal Offices, is expected to assume clerk responsibilities at 12:01 p.m. Tuesday, township Deputy Clerk Eric Wurmlinger said Monday. Uglis, who lost by 43 ballots, paid $400 to the township for the recount request. The process will cost the township a minimum of $3,000 and as much as $5,000. Results are expected as soon as early December, Wurmlinger said. A recount request is rare for Chesterfield Township, with the last one taking place about 20 years ago, he said. According to the Macomb …

If the recount still shows that she lost then she should have to foot the bill for balance. She wants her job back at a cost to the taxpayers? Yeah right. I understand the recount but c'mon the cost is ridiculous. more ›

New Chesterfield Township Clerk Wants Lower Taxes, Less Business Regulation
Newcomer Cindy Berry, a Republican, defeated incumbent Jan Uglis, a Democrat, in the Nov. 6 general election.
Cindy Berry, the newly elected Chesterfield Township clerk, wants to reduce local government costs by 30 percent, develop a more favorable business environment, and eliminate the administrative fee on winter tax bills. The 30% reduction, Berry said, would be money returned to Chesterfield’s taxpayers. “I can’t guarantee that it’s going to happen but I’m certainly going to be an advocate for it,” she said in an interview this week. Even the police department, which has said it needs additional funding, could benefit by the potential cut, Berry said. “Hopefully, the board will also vote to return those tax dollars to those officers who are residents here,” she said. Police officials have said that Chesterfield’s police department could face …

As an ex-employee of the township, you should know that anything paid by taxpayer's monies is open to the public. Figure it out, if you have two adults and two children (one in college) that makes four people getting benefits. It's not that hard to figure out. There are some requests that need to be have FOIA requests and health information is confidential, but benefits are not. more ›
