Fire and Police Commission votes to enter closed session to consider detective and sergeant promotions
Summary
At an executive meeting July 10, 2025, the Fire and Police Commission voted to go into closed session under Wis. Stat. § 19.85(1)(c) to consider promotions to detective and police sergeant; the motion was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote.
The Fire and Police Commission voted July 10, 2025, to convene in closed session under section 19.85(1)(c) of the Wisconsin Statutes to consider promotions to detective and police sergeant positions.
The motion to go into closed session was moved and seconded and was approved by a voice vote. The chair indicated the board would reconvene in open session afterward to address the items discussed in closed session.
The transcript lists commissioners Burgos, Evans, Fung, Rainey, Snyder and Ward Patterson as present and identifies Executive Director Lee Todd and Deputy Director Jay Pusek as attending staff. The record also notes Commissioners Horowitz and Spencer were excused; the transcript contains an inconsistency about Commissioner Spencer's attendance that is reflected in the meeting record.
The closed-session authority cited — section 19.85(1)(c) of the Wisconsin Statutes — permits governmental bodies to meet in private to consider employment, promotion, compensation or performance evaluation data of specific public employees. No names, promotion decisions, or vote tallies beyond the voice approval of the motion were recorded in the public portion of the transcript.
