Committee convenes into closed session to discuss LRE director performance evaluation
Summary
The committee moved into closed session under Wis. Stats. S 19.85(1)(c) and (e) to consider the performance evaluation of the Land Resources and Environment Director and deliberations related to purchasing/negotiations; the motion to enter closed session passed on a recorded roll call and the committee later returned to open session and adjourned.
At 9:00 a.m. the committee read the posted closed-session notice and took a motion (Lohr / Polivka) to convene in closed session under Wis. Stats. S 19.85(1)(c) and (e) to consider employment, promotion, compensation or performance-evaluation data of public employees and to deliberate or negotiate purchase of public properties or public funds when competitive or bargaining reasons require closed session. R. Meyer conducted the roll-call vote; Krueger, Kinsman, Polivka, Puttkamer, Spencer, Eberl, McAuliffe and Lohr all voted "Yay," and the motion carried.
The minutes identify the closed-session topic as the performance evaluation of the Land Resources and Environment Director. The committee subsequently moved (Spencer / McAuliff) to return to open session, and then Eberl / Lohr moved to adjourn at 10:25 a.m.; both motions carried unanimously as recorded in the minutes.
Why it matters: the committee used a statutorily authorized closed session to consider a personnel matter and deliberations requiring confidentiality. The minutes record the statutory citations and the roll-call votes but do not disclose the deliberations or evaluations discussed while in closed session.
