Trustee raises confidentiality concern; settlement item moved to executive session
Summary
Trustee Thompson asked that a proposed settlement involving Deborah Wilson be handled outside open session because of privileged details; the board voted to move item F2g into and after executive session for closed discussion.
The Board of Trustees voted to move a proposed settlement agreement with Deborah Wilson out of the open meeting and into executive session for closed discussion after trustees raised concerns about privileged material.
Trustee Thompson, who requested the item be considered separately, said she was not privy to some information and questioned whether the matter could be discussed in open session. Trustees then voted to move item F2g into executive session and to consider it after the closed session. The motion to move the item passed on roll call.
No details about the settlement amount, terms or specific allegations were discussed in open session; the agenda description identified F2g as a settlement agreement between Deborah Wilson and the village. The board did not take final public action on the settlement at this meeting; the item was set for consideration in closed session.
What’s next: the board will consider the settlement in executive session and may return to open session to report any formal action that is permitted by law.
