Committee convenes closed session for city administrator review, approves goals and evaluation criteria in open session

The Waukesha City Human Resources Committee voted to convene a closed session under Wisconsin State Statute 19.85 to consider employment, promotion, compensation and performance-evaluation data related to the city administrator, then returned to open session and approved goals and an evaluation process and criteria.

Alderman Christine moved that the committee convene in closed session “per Wisconsin State Statute 19.85 for the purpose of considering employment, promotion, compensation, and other terms and conditions of employment or performance evaluation data of any employee over which the governing body has jurisdiction or exercises responsibility” to conduct the city administrator's performance review. The motion was seconded and the committee voted to enter closed session.

After the closed session the committee reconvened in open session. A motion identified in the record as “ID 20Five-six36” was made to accept the goals, evaluation processing and criteria discussed in closed session and to have those accepted as read. The motion was seconded and the committee approved the goals and criteria. The meeting record shows Wooderson and Alderman Christine voted yes; the motion passed unanimously.

The transcript does not include the text of the goals or the evaluation criteria discussed in closed session; the committee’s open-session action approved the items as discussed. No additional details on changes to compensation, specific performance ratings, or public release of the evaluation were recorded in the transcript.
