Summary

The committee set a special in-person meeting for Feb. 24 at 10 a.m. to move into closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85 for personnel matters, deferred approval of prior minutes and agenda items to March 17, and heard community announcements about veterans fundraising events.

Richland County committee members set a special in-person meeting for Feb. 24 at 10 a.m. to go into closed session under Wisconsin Stat. §19.85 to consider employee performance and conduct, and scheduled their next regular meeting for March 17.

The closed session, the members said, will focus on personnel matters including performance, promotions, compensation and potential discipline. "We'll be looking to move into closed session underneath Wisconsin State statute 19.85, which has to do with, performance and conduct with, county employees," said Clint Langrick, Richland County administrator.

The meeting also postponed routine approvals. Committee members agreed not to approve the current meeting's agenda or prior meeting minutes until the March 17 meeting, meaning two sets of minutes will be considered at that time. Karen (last name not specified), a county staff member, confirmed she had emailed the requested visitor-log and VA-form reports to members.

Don Seif, who joined the meeting remotely, asked that visitor logs and form-file documents for November and December be made available and requested totals for April through Dec. 31 to aid evaluation. Karen told members she had emailed the requested reports during the meeting.

Members heard two community announcements. Marge (last name not specified) representing the Richland County Veterans Memorial Building Committee said the group will hold a benefit dance March 6 at the Phoenix Center to raise funds for upkeep of the Veterans Memorial; the event is set for 1 to 6 p.m. with a $10 donation suggested. Another speaker identified as Kramer announced a chili and soup supper with a free-will donation and a pie auction; Kramer said the supper begins at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday and proceeds will support upkeep of the building (location referred to in the transcript as "the Lijian"; spelling not verified).

The committee closed the meeting after a motion to adjourn was moved (mover not specified in the record) and seconded by Sherry; members voted by voice. "Sherry seconds. So with that, all in favor of adjournment, please say aye," the chair said; members answered "aye."
