Waupaca council votes to enter closed session under Wis. Stat. §19.85(1)(e) to discuss contract negotiations
Summary
By roll call, the Common Council voted unanimously to enter closed session under Wisconsin statute 19.85(1)(e) to deliberate contract matters and negotiate public property or funds matters; the item was described as related to contract discussions.
The Waupaca Common Council voted unanimously by roll call on July 1 to enter a closed session under Wis. Stat. §19.85(1)(e) to deliberate or negotiate the purchasing of public properties, the investing of public funds, or conduct other specific public business whenever competitive or bargaining reasons require a closed session. The mayor read the motion referencing the statute; Paul Velacher moved and Paul Hagen seconded the motion.
The motion described the subject as contract matters and cited the council’s need to discuss the matters in closed session for bargaining reasons. The mayor indicated it "has to do with the bridal share services, discussion of the contract matters" as read into the record; the council then took a roll-call vote with the following recorded responses: Paul Mayo — aye; Paul Hagen — aye; Henry Velacher — aye; Eric Halverson — aye; Dave Peterson — aye; Colin Dykstra — aye; Dimitri Martin — aye; Scott Perchatsky — aye. The mayor announced "8 ayes. Motion carried." The council then recessed into closed session; the public audio ends before the closed-session discussion was transcribed in open session.
No final contract decisions were reported in the public record before the meeting recessed into closed session. Any formal action arising from the closed session would need to be reported in open session per state law if and when the council chooses to do so.
