Anne Eacker, Saint Francis city clerk-treasurer, told the Common Council she has filed a letter of intent to retire effective May 31, 2026, and reflected on 34 years living and working in the city and on her tenure sworn in at the start of many firefighters and police officers' service.
Eacker thanked colleagues Rebecca Gagnon, Kelly Fisler and Jamie Kenyon in the clerk'treasurer's office and paid tribute to working with multiple mayors, city administrators and department chiefs during her career. Council members offered congratulations and praise.
Later in the meeting, council member Anne (the city clerk) moved that the council convene in closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(c) to consider employment, promotion, compensation or performance evaluation data of a public employee. A council member seconded the motion and aldermen voted "Aye" to enter closed session to discuss the city administrator's performance evaluation.
No substantive discussion about the content of the evaluation was read into the public record prior to the closed session motion; the statutory citation and the reason for the closed session were recorded on the agenda.
