Police and Fire Commission moves to closed session to review fire chief’s six-month performance
Summary
The Police and Fire Commission voted unanimously to enter closed session under a Wisconsin open-meetings statute to consider the six-month performance review of the fire chief.
The Port Washington Police and Fire Commission voted on July 14 to meet in closed session to consider the six-month performance review of the fire chief.
The commission invoked Wisconsin State statute 19.851 c to move into closed session “to consider employment, promotion, compensation, or performance of a public employee,” the chair said during the meeting. A motion to go into closed session was made, seconded and carried; commissioners participating in the roll call recorded in the meeting transcript included Commissioner Ed, Commissioner Jill and Commissioner Sarah, each answering in the affirmative.
The chair told the room the commission would hold the closed-session review of the fire chief in the back office. The meeting record shows commissioners convened the closed session immediately after the roll call; no details of the closed-session discussion or any personnel actions were disclosed in the public record that followed.
Because the review occurred in closed session under the cited statute, the commission did not discuss personnel performance matters on the public record at that time.
