The CEO you should know, broughtto you by Roby Foster Miller Eric Insurance.
This week's CEO Michael Kimmer, MansfieldMunicipal Court judge, Good morning morning,
Thank you for coming in today.Good to see you. Good to
see you as well. First ofall, congratulations, I appreciate that.
(00:21):
All right. So as we divein, let's kind of get a little
background. I said recently sworn in, you just took office, crac I
just took office first of the year, all right, So I'm sure a
little more than a month in we'regoing to learn about that. So as
we say, municipal court judge inMansfield, could you give us a little
overview of what a municipal court judgeactually does some of the duties. Absolutely,
(00:47):
you know, we have several courtsin Ohio and Richland County municipal it's
primarily the misdemeanors, small claims,felony preliminary hearings as opposed to common pleas,
which is the FELONIESE and of coursedomestic relations, probate, juvenile and
the other courts. How many judges, Yeah, I mean people think about
that. There's a lot of questions. People may not know that's start absolute.
(01:10):
Well, actually we have three.My court just covers all but the
top six townships in Richland County.Shelby actually has their own court that's Judge
Sherry Stouter, but we have JudgeDavid Badenell and myself covering the rest of
the county for municipal court. Allright, so in terms of a day
a week, and I know you'vebeen in there a little over a month,
(01:30):
what's it kind of look like ona day to day basis? Are
certain days reserved for this or that? Will walk us through that? Yeah,
we're the judge, you know,the judge kind of steers the way
the court goes. So it isit's what was two new judges, me
and Judge Badenell. Sadly, wejust lost a long serving judge, Jerry
Alt, but he was aged outas well. In Ohio, if you're
(01:52):
seventy at the time of the election, you cannot run for judicial office,
so we knew Judge All was leaving. Sadly, we just lost him,
and the same with Judge Artists.We lost him a little earlier in the
year, but he was aged outas well. He wasn't going to be
running again. So two new judges. I've been in Mansfield almost two decades.
It's the first time we've replaced allthe judges in the court at the
same time. So we're continuing torun things mostly how they ran under our
(02:17):
predecessors. We're feeling it out,getting an idea for it. But there
is, you know, somewhat ofa set schedule for what times you have
trials, what times you have preliminaryhearings. You're working with other courts as
well, trying to accommodate all theattorneys and the defendants and other parties in
the court. You're hearing the voicethis morning of Mike Kimmer, this week's
(02:38):
CEO. You should know, andas we learned about him, he is
municipal court judge in Mansfield and justworn in in December and then took office
the bench on January the first.So we learn about that, and I
know you've just been doing this alittle over a month. We have you
know how many cases you have onaverage a week? I mean how I'm
(03:00):
sure it depends right, It variesa lot, actually, but it's about
twenty thousand cases a year coming throughthat court. Now doesn't mean I have
a hand in every case there aretwo judges, so cut that in half.
But a lot of the cases,you know, it's all the misdemeanors.
That includes things like speeding tickets.I don't know if you've ever gotten
a speeding ticket, but you don'talways go to court. Some people just
(03:20):
mail in their ticket and call today. So not every case gets in
front of us, but it is. It's the highest volume court in the
county. On any given day,I could have thirty cases in front of
me, fifty cases in front ofme, or if it's a late friday,
you know, just a few casesin front of me. All right.
That sounds like a lot though whenyou think about it. Twenty thousand
cases over the course of a year. So, as we learn about you,
(03:44):
let's kind of step back to thebeginning, and then we'll continue on
with more about the court. Soas we learn about you, let's go
back to the very beginning. Ifyou would tell us where was Mike Kimmer
actually born. I was born aboutfour miles south of that state, up
north and on the Indana line,on a farm middle of nowhere on the
(04:05):
Defiance and Paulding County line. Igrew up on a family farm. No
one in my family had ever goneto college, no expectation I would.
But when I was fourteen, therewas a major crime in my small town.
We had just elected a new prosecutor, and watching that as a child,
I decided I was lucky. Ifound my path. I decided that's
what I want to do. Iwant to help people protect others through the
(04:28):
courts. So from that point on, I just did everything I could to
try to achieve that goal. Ijoined the Police Explorers when I turned sixteen
and got my license. I startedshadowing the county prosecutor. We'll go on
to college, onto law school whereI got went to law school in Toledo.
Or got into Toledo Municipal Court Prosecutor'soffice under a COVA grant crimes of
(04:49):
violence against women, and I workedthere for a few years, starting as
a law student working on domestic violencecases. Important work, good work.
It was also a a job thatwas solely dependent on a grant, and
I was a low man on thetotem pole, so I was actively looking
for another job. And it wouldhave been about early o six maybe I
(05:13):
spoke to the chief prosecutor there toldhim no, I was looking that summer
past the bar exam and he said, you know, go find another job,
Mike. Once I have another positionopen, i'll just call you back.
Well, through a friend, Idiscovered the job in Mansfield, a
director's office. I had not heardof Mansfield before I grew up. You
know, the biggest city by uswas Fort Wayne, Indiana. So my
(05:33):
friend told me about this job inMansfield. I came down and applied,
and before I could get driven backto Teledo, where I was living at
the time, I was getting acall offered me the job, and truth
be told, when I came toMansfield, I didn't necessarily plan on staying
in Mansfield. I'm going to goback to it Tledo when they call me.
But before I could do that,a few things happened. Our chief
(05:56):
prosecutor, the title's first assistant lawdirector, she left for another opportunity,
and I got promoted to that job. I was the youngest guy in the
office, and apparently our former lawdirector saw something in me and promoted me.
And I also met a young womanfrom Shelby named Carrie, and that
worked out well because we've we've beenmarried almost fifteen years, all right,
(06:17):
So the rest is history. Greatto learn. I bought Mike Kimer and
the whole story this morning, allright, So let's back it up a
little here. Born in northwest Ohio. Where did you go to high school?
Antwerp? Okay? Electorical schools?Okay? All right? And you
said college? Then I did twoyears at community college, continued to live
at home on the farm, andthen did two years at community college,
(06:40):
got my associates and criminal justice,and transferred to Bowling Green, where I
got my bachelor's in criminal justice.And there's that rivalry up I seventy five.
When I was at Bowling Green,I hated Toledo so much. Well,
Bowling Green doesn't have a law school, and I applied to all the
law schools in Ohio and wound upgoing to its. Well I'm there at
(07:00):
Toledo. I hated Bowling Green somuch, so that changed real quick.
And to this day I will Iwill always root for the mac teams,
and I'll root for Toledo over anybody, and I'll root for Bowling Green over
anybody except Toledo. Love it,love it. A falcon and a rocket,
all right, A good deal.Mike Cambert joining us, want of
great to learn the story. Allright, So as we talk about you
(07:23):
growing up, you mentioned something happeningin your hometown that kind of urged you
before that. You know, whatwere the aspirations you were you were thinking
about as a kid growing up?What you what you wanted to be still
honestly still kind of public service.Prior to that, I always wanted to
be a park ranger. Thought thatwould be the coolest job. I still
kind of do you get out therein the outdoors and you get paid to
(07:43):
do that. But when I goyctuallygot washed the court system, I found
my passion. So did it notbecome a park ranger? All right?
Good deal? All right, Soas we talk about you, let's learn
a little more. You mentioned wife, So if you would tell us a
bit more about my in the family. Yes, my wife. I met
her shortly after moving to town andmy first year here, and woman from
(08:07):
Shelby. When I first met her, she worked for Ze Rocks and then
later med Central in public relations.Amazing young woman. Our first date was
the Church Square dance. She's beenfortunate to be on CEOs you should know
as well. Formerly Carrie Richland,now Carrie Kimmer. She is the director
of the Shelby Foundation. So she'sbeen going in good work for the community
(08:28):
there. And she's also a parttime realder and she's on various boards because
the she says, the bar realhigh for the family. All right,
busy, busy people. And youalso have a son. Correct, we
have a ten year old son namedJude. He's proud to go to Sacred
Heart School where Carrie went as well. Currently playing basketball with the Panthers.
(08:48):
All right, good deal. Sothat leads me to my next question.
Again, you're hearing the voice ofMike Kimer, Mansfield Municipal Court judge this
week. CEO. You should know, so, judge, busy, wife's
busy, all kinds of things.You know, son that plays sports,
goes to school, all that.What do you do when you are not

(09:09):
Do you have any hobbies? Youknow? That's uh, downtime is rare
and it's it's it's been that wayfor a while for for all of us.
As our son gets more active insports and other activities, you know,
he comes first, depending on youknow, how I'm doing. I
love to run. I was allthe local law enforcement knows that I would
run starting at the city building andthey'd see me downtown all the time.
(09:31):
But I keep breaking things, sothat's kind of off the table for the
time being. But right now it'sjust you know, trying to do my
best for the community with this thisnew honor that's been put upon me,
and you know, be there forCarrie and be there for Jude. All
right, terrific. Before I letyou go, let's circle back and again
talk about the municipal Court. Youknow, in terms of judge you mentioned
(09:52):
you know a few judges there.In terms of overall staff, how many
people do you guys have that there'sa lot of people that help out throughout
the court. Yeah, the courtemploys about thirty people and that includes secretaries,
bailiffs. The biggest single group area probation officers. The probation department
does fall under the judges, butit's about a staff of about thirty And
(10:15):
if somebody is new to the area, the court's located where at down to
it it's a thirty North Diamond.It's the Mansfield City Building, so same
place you're going to find the policedepartment, the mayor codes and permits,
city tax departments, so on,so forth. We're on the second floor,
which is the first floor if you'recoming in off Park Avenue, police
(10:35):
departments on the first floor, whichwould be off Adams, and the Mayor's
way up on top. All right, we ninth floor, I believe for
the mayors. That's sound right.I've talked to Joey you for you down,
okay, all right, Well beforeI let you go, how have
you liked the first, you know, month and a half or so being
a judge. I'm loving it.I'm so honored, so humbled to be
(10:56):
where I'm at. We of coursemet over the campaign trail. It was
a long year. And then Iwas honored Justice Fisher from the Supreme Court.
He came down up I guess fromwhere he lives, came up to
Mansell to swear me in. SoI had a Supreme Court justice there.
I had my family there, includingmy father who day after Father's Day suffered
(11:20):
a stroke and was paralyzed. Sogot him out of his assisted living to
come see me get sworn in.And it kind of all dawned on me
how important it was. And Iget sworn in, and I tried to
speak to the fairly large gathering,and I teared up and had trouble getting
out my words. It's so humbling, and now that I'm actually in the
thick of it, actually doing it, so rewarding to actually be there,
(11:46):
able to talk to both those who'vecommitted offenses and the victims of crime,
and trying to find the right thingsto do for everybody. Huge, huge
honor, huge responsibility. But Iknow I'm blessed to be there. As
I get ready to let you go, I heard David Badde'll make a comment
as well that he really enjoys workingwith all the people in the city building.
Absolutely. I'm well, I say, I'm blessed. I'm blessed for
(12:09):
so many reasons. I'm blessed tohave my wife Carrie, my son Jude,
my family to have this job.I'm also blessed to be taken on
this job with Judge David Badenell.You go back to two thousand and six,
when I was a young guy livingin Toledo working for the Municipal Court
there, came down here and interviewedwell the guy that told me about the
job opening. He's an attorney namedJoel Wise. Now he's now a federal
(12:33):
Aaron Marshall. He's left the town, but he worked for Dave Badenell.
So I came down here for myfirst interview, and afterwards we all went
out to lunch at CCS. SoI've known Dave longer than I've had a
job in town, and now tobe taken on this next step in my
career with someone I truly consider afriend, it's amazing. For the last
(12:54):
seventeen years I've worked in the LawDirector's office, sixteen is first assistant law
director, so I've worked with allof the staff at thirty in the courts,
I know everybody. To be workingwith people I've worked with from a
slightly different position, it's amazing.I am so blessed. We have a
great team. I can't speak forJudge bat Andell, but I'm sure to
agree with me. We couldn't dowhat we do from the bench we didn't
(13:15):
have such an amazing team behind us. All right, terrific. Now as
I let you go, Mike Gimer, this week's CEO. You should know
new Municipal Court Jundage in Mansfield.If somebody wants more information from the court,

(13:37):
have Judges Jerry Ault and Judge FrankArtists. But if anybody has the free

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
