Waukesha council authorizes city administrator to execute side letter with IAFF Local 407 after closed session
Summary
After meeting in closed session under Wis. Stat. §19.85(1)(e), the Waukesha Common Council directed the city administrator to execute a side letter agreement with the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 407; the motion passed unanimously.
The Waukesha City Common Council met in closed session under Wisconsin Statute §19.85(1)(e) to discuss a side letter of agreement with the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 407 (AFL‑CIO) for bargaining reasons, then returned to open session and authorized the city administrator to execute the agreement.
Council moved into closed session during the meeting; the motion to enter closed session cited Wis. Stat. §19.85(1)(e) and passed unanimously. No details of the closed deliberations were disclosed in open session, consistent with the cited statutory exemption for competitive bargaining reasons.
After returning to open session, an alderman moved "to direct the city administrator to execute the side letter with the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 407 AFL‑CIO as discussed in closed session." The motion was seconded and the council voted unanimously to authorize execution.
The council recorded the vote and authorized the administrator to sign the side letter; no financial terms or substantive provisions were read into the public record during open session. The action completes the procedural step the council required following closed‑session deliberations.
