Commissioner Horowitz moves Fire and Police Commission into closed session to consider reappointment of Fire Chief Aaron Lipsky
Summary
At its March 19, 2026 executive meeting the Fire and Police Commission voted to enter closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(c) to discuss the reappointment of Fire Chief Aaron Lipsky; the motion was made and seconded and the chair announced the motion carried.
Commissioner Horowitz opened the Fire and Police Commission’s March 19, 2026 executive meeting and announced that the board might meet in closed session to discuss the reappointment of Fire Chief Aaron Lipsky under "section 19.85 sub 1 sub c of the Wisconsin statutes." Horowitz read a list of commissioners present and said Commissioner Ramey "maybe is excused." He also identified FPC executive director Leon Todd and deputy director Jay Pusek as present.
"Do I have such a motion?" Horowitz asked. A participant responded, "So moved," and another said, "Second." The transcript does not record the names of the mover or the seconder. Horowitz then called for a voice vote: "All those in favor, please signify by saying aye." The record shows a vocal "Aye," no opposition or abstention, and Horowitz stated, "Motion carries."
Horowitz announced, "We are now in closed session." He had previously said the board would reconvene in open session afterward to address the item on the reappointment of Chief Lipsky.
No other speakers or deliberations on the merits of the reappointment are recorded in the provided transcript excerpt; the discussion of the personnel matter took place in closed session.
