Committee holds closed session on Marshfield Clinic matter; later approves contract with Contessa
Summary
Under Wisconsin Statutes chapter 19.81(1)(e) the committee entered closed session to discuss an agreement for services involving Marshfield Clinic Incorporated; after returning to open session the committee approved a contract with Contessa by voice vote.
The Finance, Budget and Personnel Committee went into closed session Jan. 21 under Wisconsin Statutes chapter 19.81(1)(e) to deliberate or negotiate the purchase of public properties, investing of public funds or other specific public business where bargaining reasons require confidentiality; the stated matter was “the agreement for services with Marshfield Clinic Incorporated.”
After the closed session the committee returned to open session. A motion was made and seconded to approve the proposed contract with Contessa; the motion carried by voice vote. The transcript does not identify Contessa’s relationship to the Marshfield Clinic matter nor state whether Contessa is an intermediary, vendor or separate party; the closed-session discussion details and any roll-call are not included in the public transcript. The committee adjourned after approving the contract.
Because the matter was discussed in closed session under the cited statute, the committee did not record the closed-session deliberations in the public minutes, and the transcript contains only the open-session motion authorizing the contract approval.
