Summary
Members of the Village of Jackson Fire and Police Commission approved minutes from June 12, 2025 and voted 3-0 to go into a closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(c) to interview police officer candidates.
The Village of Jackson Fire and Police Commission approved the minutes from its June 12, 2025, meeting and voted unanimously to enter a closed session to interview police officer candidates.
At a regular meeting, commissioners approved the minutes for the Police and Fire Commission meeting of June 12, 2025. No names for the motion or second were recorded in the public transcript; the chair called the question and members voted in favor.
Later the commission moved to a closed session “pursuant to Wisconsin statute 19.85(1)(c), considering employment, promotion, compensation or performance evaluation data of any public employee” for the purpose of receiving information regarding specific employees and interviewing police officer candidates. A motion to go into closed session was made and seconded on the record; the transcript does not identify who moved or seconded. The commission then took a roll-call vote recorded as three yes votes; the chair announced “motion carries.”
The commission did not provide further public detail in the transcript about the candidates, any hiring decisions, or subsequent actions taken in the closed session. Under Wisconsin law cited by the commission, personnel interviews may be held in closed session; any formal appointments or other public actions would be reflected in future meeting minutes if taken in open session.
No additional agenda items or public comments related to the closed-session matter are reported in the available transcript.
