The City of Oconomowoc Common Council took three formal actions during its Feb. 4 meeting: approval of prior minutes, tabling of a proposed ordinance, and approval to enter a closed session to discuss litigation strategy.
The council approved the minutes of the Jan. 21, 2025 meeting on a voice vote after a motion by Alderman Ellis and a second by Alderman Mulder. The mayor asked for “All in favor?” and members responded “Aye.”
On the recommendation of the Protection and Welfare Committee, the council considered Ordinance 25-01086, a proposed ordinance to add section 9.33 prohibiting sexting by minors in Chapter 9 (Public Peace and Good Order). The council voted to table that item for further due diligence. The motion to table received a second from Alderman Spiegelberg and passed on a roll call with all members voting aye (Aldermen Altman Cloth; Ellis; Spiegelberg; Mulder; Shellpepper; Maroney; Douglas; Rosic).
Finally, the council voted to move into closed session under Wisconsin Statute § 19.85 to confer with legal counsel regarding litigation involving the city, the village of Loch LaBelle and the town of Oconomowoc pertaining to an intergovernmental agreement.
