Commissioner Horowitz moves Fire and Police Commission into closed session to consider promotions
Summary
On May 7, 2026 the Fire and Police Commission voted to meet in closed session under Wisconsin Stat. §19.85(1)(c) to consider promotions to police lieutenant and sergeant positions; the motion was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote. Names of movers were not recorded in the transcript.
The Fire and Police Commission convened an executive session on May 7, 2026 to consider promotions to police lieutenant and sergeant positions, Commissioner Horowitz said. The session was called under Wisconsin Statute §19.85(1)(c), which permits closed consideration of certain personnel matters.
Commissioner Horowitz opened the meeting and read the roll of commissioners present, listing Burgos, Evans, Fung, Spence, Spencer and World Patterson alongside himself. He noted Commissioners Ramey and Schneider were excused. FPC executive director Leon Todd and deputy director Jay Pusek were also present.
"Do I have such a motion?" Horowitz asked. A motion to convene in closed session was moved and seconded; the transcript does not identify who made or seconded the motion. After calling for discussion with none recorded, Horowitz conducted a voice vote. Multiple commissioners responded "Aye," and Horowitz declared, "Motion carries. We are now in closed session."
The announcement signaled that the commission would discuss the specified personnel promotions in private under the statutory exemption for deliberating personnel matters. Horowitz said the board may reconvene in open session later in the regular meeting to address these items publicly.
The transcript does not record any vote tallies by name, the identities of the motion mover or seconder, nor details of the promotions themselves; those items were to be considered in closed session.
