Mich. Comp. Laws § 229.2
At the time and place designated for selecting a jury the township supervisor shall direct a disinterested person to record the names of 12 disinterested property owners, from which the owner or occupant of the land to be crossed by the road and the applicant for the road shall strike out 3 names each. The balance remaining on the list shall form the jury. If the owner or occupant or the applicant is not present, or being present, shall neglect or refuse to strike the names, the supervisor shall strike for the party absent, neglecting, or refusing. The supervisor shall issue a citation to the property owners to appear before him or her to determine the necessity of the road and the damages resulting from the road if the road is considered necessary. The business which the jury may perform shall be conducted at a public meeting of the jury held in compliance with Act No. 267 of the Public Acts of 1976. Public notice of the time, date, and place of the meeting shall be given in the manner required by Act No. 267 of the Public Acts of 1976. The hearing of the application shall stand continued until the time when the citation is returnable. When a sufficient number of jurors to form a panel shall not appear at the time given in the notice, the supervisor may direct a disinterested property owner to write down the names of disinterested property owners in an amount equal to twice the number of vacancies to be filled. The supervisor shall strike off 1/2 of the names from the list, and shall issue a citation to the property owners to appear.
