Village of Jackson approves Sept. 4 minutes, votes to enter closed session on personnel
Summary
At a meeting called to order at 6:04 p.m., the Village of Jackson approved minutes from its Sept. 4 meeting and voted unanimously in a roll call to go into closed session to consider employee performance, promotion or compensation matters.
The Village of Jackson convened and, after calling the meeting to order at 6:04 p.m., approved the minutes from the Sept. 4 meeting and voted to hold a closed session to consider personnel matters.
A staff member moved to approve the Sept. 4 minutes; a second was recorded and the motion passed on a voice vote. The transcript records commissioners responding “Aye” and the clerk announcing “Motion passes. Approved.”
Later in the meeting a staff member moved "to move into closed session, for considering employment promotion compensation or performance evaluation data of any public employee over which the governmental body has jurisdiction or exercises responsibility." A second was recorded and the board conducted a roll-call vote. Commissioners Wetland, Lutz, Elke, Myers and Washburn each answered “Yes,” and the chair announced that the motion carried. The meeting then entered closed session.
The closed-session motion cited the standard, general language for exclusion of public attendance when discussing the performance, promotion, compensation or evaluation of public employees; the transcript does not provide a statutory citation or identify the specific employee(s) to be discussed. The meeting record shows that Chief Sweeney was noted as not present on the agenda or attendance roll prior to the closed-session motion.
