Wilmot board returns to open session, waives liquidated damages and adjourns
Summary
After a heated public-comment period the board recessed, returned to open session, voted to waive liquidated damages discussed in closed session, and adjourned; the board did not disclose contract details in open session.
Following extended public comment and a brief recess the Wilmot UHS School District board reconvened in open session after a motion and recorded voice votes. The chair announced the board was "back in open session."
A board member moved to waive liquidated damages that had been discussed during the closed session earlier in the meeting. The motion was called and the chair recorded 'Aye' responses; no additional contract amounts or vendor names were provided during the open session.
Finally, a motion to adjourn was made, seconded and carried by voice vote. The meeting ended after the board completed these procedural items.
Why this matters: Waiving liquidated damages can have financial implications depending on the contract and amount involved; the board did not disclose details in open session, citing prior closed-session discussion.
