Kenosha commission enters closed session to hear complaint by Octavia Winters; written investigation report requested
The Kenosha Police and Fire Commission moved into a closed session on Sept. 16 to discuss a complaint filed by Octavia Winters. The motion to go into closed session was moved and seconded and approved in a roll-call vote recorded in the transcript.

During the closed session the commission heard a verbal report from the police chief. After returning to open session the commission, speaking through President Helen Schumacher, said the police chief “is going to furnish us with a report of the investigation,” and that the written report will be received and filed at the next meeting. Schumacher also said the commission will hold a closed session at the next meeting to make a final determination on the complaint.

A roll-call taken at the closed-session motion recorded the following responses in the transcript: President Helen Schumacher — yes; Vice President Bill Jones — yes; Commissioner Giancaro Ruffalo — yes; Commissioner Frederick Dupree — yes. Secretary Felix Ramirez’s response was not recorded in the excerpt of the roll call.

No final substantive outcome on the complaint was made at the Sept. 16 meeting; the commission scheduled further review and formal determination for the next meeting.
