Summary
On Jan. 20, 2026 the commission entered a closed session under Wis. Stat. §19.85(1)(c) to consider deputy sheriff performance evaluations; roll-call votes were recorded and the body returned to open session at 12:55 p.m. with no public actions recorded.
At its Jan. 20, 2026 meeting, the Oneida County Civil Service Commission entered closed session at 12:16 p.m. under Wis. Stat. §19.85(1)(c) to consider employment, promotion, compensation or performance evaluation data of public employees, specifically Deputy Sheriff performance evaluations.
The motion to go into closed session was made by Chairman Tim Melms and seconded by Commissioner Harry Whidden; a roll-call vote recorded Whidden, Melms, Welk and Kovac as voting "aye." The minutes record the commission returned to open session at 12:55 p.m. on a motion by Whidden, seconded by Welk, again with all members voting "aye."
The minutes state that the commission "discussed Deputy Sheriff Performance Evaluations" while in closed session but do not record any formal decisions, disciplinary actions, or personnel outcomes in the public minutes. Because the discussion occurred under the closed-session authority cited on the record, further details are not included in the minutes.
