Muskego council votes 6-0 to enter closed session on employee health insurance, personnel
Summary
The Common Council voted to convene in closed session under Wis. Stat. §19.85 to discuss medical/social/personal histories and health insurance contract matters; the roll-call vote was 6 in favor.
The Muskego Common Council voted 6‑0 on June 24 to move into closed session to discuss personnel and health-insurance matters that the council said would involve sensitive medical or social histories and negotiation strategy.
A reader recited the closed-session notice and the Wisconsin statute citations used to justify the closed session; the body cited Wis. Stat. §19.85 subsections (1)(f), (1)(g) and (1)(e) for discussions involving personal histories, legal counsel strategy and negotiating public business where competitive or bargaining reasons require privacy. A later speaker corrected an earlier misstatement of the statute number and confirmed the citation as §19.85.
A motion was made and seconded to convene in closed session; a roll-call vote followed. The transcript records the roll call responses as Alderman Wolf: "Yes"; Hamill: "Yes"; Decker: "Yes"; Bryce: "Yes"; Dolge: "Yes"; and Madden: "Yes." The chair then announced, "We are in closed session. We are only gonna be coming out to adjourn."
Officials said no final decisions would be made that night and that future public sessions would occur when the council takes formal action. The closed session covered discussion and preliminary consideration of specific personnel problems, health-insurance contract options and negotiation strategy; the transcript records that future deliberations that would involve public action would be conducted in open session.
