Committee moves to closed session under Wisconsin statute to hear jail matter
Summary
The Washington County Public Safety Committee voted to go into closed session under a Wisconsin statute to hear a jail-related matter; the committee directed that the closed-session items proceed as allowed under state law.
Washington County — During its March 2025 meeting the Washington County Public Safety Committee voted to enter a closed session under Wisconsin statute to hear a jail matter.
The committee chair moved to convene a closed session "for the purpose of hearing the jail as required by Wisconsin statute," and a member seconded the motion. A roll-call vote was taken and the chair said the committee "will go to closed session," after confirming members had an opportunity to change their votes.
The transcript records the motion, the second and the committee's decision to proceed to closed session; the meeting then paused to conduct that closed session. No substantive details from the closed session were disclosed in the public transcript, and such topics are governed by the referenced statute.
