Thirteen months after the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners, led by a new far-right majority, attempted to fire her, officials have agreed Adeline Hambley will remain the county's health officer, after all. 
Following a nearly 12-hour closed session Monday, Feb. 26, commissioners voted 11-0 to keep Hambley and Deputy Health Officer Marcia Mansaray in place as part of a settlement agreement to end Hambley's long-standing lawsuit against the board. 
Other parts of the agreement: all litigation is dropped, a multi-session termination hearing will end with no determination, a judge will decide how much of Hambley's attorney fees will be covered, and there will be no monetary award for damages.
