Summary
The board accepted the finance director's resignation (last day listed as May 5), discussed interim support from CISA at two days per week, and voted to convene a closed session under Wis. Stat. 19.85 to consider staffing and related personnel matters.
The board accepted the resignation of the finance director during the April 13 special meeting and thanked the departing employee. A board member noted the director's final day was listed as May 5.
A board member told colleagues they had been in contact with CISA for interim financial support. "They are willing to get us through the end of fiscal year and the audit," the committee member said, adding that CISA suggested two days per week of on-site support but that the district was still awaiting a cost quote. "They're working up something... I have been in touch with CISA... they think they would need to be in the district, 2 days a week," the committee member said.
The chair put forward and the board approved a motion to accept the resignation. During the same meeting the chair requested a motion to convene a closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85 (c),(e),(f),(g) to discuss employment, promotion, compensation and performance data of public employees and to confer with legal counsel; the board approved that motion and completed a roll-call style confirmation of members present. Members recorded as responding "yes" during the roll-call confirmations were Corey, Jamie, Tom, Kelly, Polly and Katie.
The transcript records that the board asked staff to obtain cost estimates for CISA's proposed interim support and to present those numbers to the board; no dollar figure for consultant fees was provided during the meeting.
The board then prepared to enter the closed session to discuss referendum staffing considerations and related personnel matters under the cited statute.
