Summary
At a July 8 special meeting, the Green Bay Police and Fire Commission convened in closed session under a cited Wisconsin statute to interview five firefighter candidates (four in person, one by Zoom) and voted to confirm the commission—s report on those interviews.
GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Police and Fire Commission met in a July 8 special session and, citing Sections 1925, paragraph 1, sub CNF Wisconsin Statutes, went into closed session to interview firefighter candidates as part of the department's hiring process.
During the closed session the commission interviewed five candidates; four attended in person and one participated by Zoom. Commissioner Cobb left after the third interview and Commissioner Boya Roloff was unable to join via Zoom and was absent; the commission retained a quorum for the remaining interviews.
After the closed session the commission added the ratings from the five interviews to scores from earlier candidates and to the slate of interviews scheduled for next week. The commission then voted to confirm the report of the closed-session interviews and later voted to adjourn the special meeting.
The meeting record shows Commissioner Dorf moved to convene the closed session and Commissioner Cobb seconded the motion; the motion carried. A subsequent motion to confirm the closed-session report was moved by Commissioner Dorf and seconded; that motion also carried. Specific vote tallies by commissioner were not recorded in the public transcript of the meeting.
The commission identified the statutory basis for the closed session as "Sections 1925, paragraph 1, sub CNF Wisconsin Statutes" in the meeting record; the transcript does not provide further statutory detail or citation correction. The meeting agenda listed a single item: interviews with firefighter candidates, and the commission completed the scheduled business before adjourning.
