Village of Cross Plains police commission moves into closed session, votes to decertify part‑time eligibility list
Summary
At a meeting of the Village of Cross Plains Police Commission, members voted to go into closed session under Wisconsin Statutes §19.85(1)(c) to discuss personnel matters, moved to decertify the current part‑time eligibility list and discussed scheduling full‑time officer interviews for early February.
The Village of Cross Plains Police Commission moved into closed session to discuss personnel matters and voted to decertify its current part‑time eligibility list, the meeting transcript shows.
Speaker 1 opened the meeting and called for roll call; Speaker 2 recorded Brian, Mary and Cathy as present and reported that Daryl and Sean were excused. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited, and Speaker 1 opened a three‑minute public‑comment period; Speaker 2 said no one was online or had requested to speak.
On personnel matters, Speaker 1 read the closed‑session notice citing Wisconsin Statutes §19.85(1)(c) as the authority to discuss data related to employment, promotion, compensation or performance evaluation of public employees. A motion to meet in closed session on those grounds was made, seconded by Speaker 2 and approved by voice vote.
During the same meeting, Speaker 2 moved to "decertify the current eligibility list" for part‑time positions. The motion was seconded and a voice vote followed; the transcript records both 'aye' and at least one 'nay' but does not provide a roll‑call tally by name. The record does not include a detailed roll‑call vote count in the transcript.
Speaker 1 later read a similar closed‑session notice specific to the full‑time police‑officer hiring process and the commission again moved into closed session after a motion and second. Before the session began, members discussed availability and scheduling: Speaker 2 said interviews would likely be "sometime early February," contingent on the applicant pool.
The commission paused to close the door for the closed session and later recessed and adjourned by voice vote. The transcript does not include the text of any personnel deliberations or final hiring decisions because those took place in closed session.
What happens next: the commission indicated it will schedule candidate interviews based on the applicant pool and members' availability; no further public‑record personnel details appear in the transcript.
