Kiel council votes to enter closed sessions on operator’s-license appeal and a claim by Nancy Zimmerman

KIEL, Wis. — The Kiel City Council voted during its June 10 meeting to enter closed session on two separate matters: an appeal related to an alcohol/operator’s license and a claim filed against the city by Nancy Zimmerman.

Councilmembers moved and seconded separate motions to go into closed session for each matter. The first closed-session motion was made and seconded specifically to hear the operator’s-license appeal; the second was made to discuss the claim by Nancy Zimmerman. Both motions were approved by roll-call votes recorded in the transcript.

The individual named in the operator’s-license matter appears with inconsistent spellings in the meeting record (the transcript alternately records the name as "Patrick Lynn" and "Patrick Williams"). Because the transcript’s references are not consistent, the council document and recorded minutes should be consulted for the official spelling and for any subsequent public actions following the closed sessions.

The council used roll-call votes for the closed-session motions; recorded responses in the transcript are in favor. No substantive discussion from the closed sessions appears in the public transcript, consistent with the closed-session status.

The motions indicate the first closed session pertained to an alcohol-license denial and an operator’s-license appeal by an individual who was present to appeal; the second pertained to a claim by Nancy Zimmerman. The council then proceeded into closed session as authorized by the motions recorded on the public agenda.
