Oak Creek council convenes closed session to discuss potential litigation involving fire battalion chiefs
Summary
The council voted to convene a closed session under Wisconsin Statute §19.85(1)(g) to consult with legal counsel regarding litigation likely to involve the city concerning claims by fire department battalion chiefs; they later reconvened in open session with no action reported.
During its Jan. 20 meeting the Oak Creek Common Council unanimously moved to convene a closed session under Wisconsin Statute §19.85(1)(g) to confer with legal counsel about litigation the city is likely to become involved in relating to claims by the fire department battalion chiefs.
Alderman Vincent Gail moved the motion specifically invoking the statute, saying the purpose was consultation with counsel who would render oral or written advice on the litigation. The council voted by roll call to enter closed session and later reconvened in open session with no action reported on the public record.
The council did not disclose details of the litigation in open session. The meeting record notes only that the closed session occurred under the authority of Wis. Stat. §19.85 and that the council returned to open session afterwards.
