Bayside board approves interim police chief services and recruitment contract with McMahan & Associates
Summary
After a closed-session discussion on a notice of claim and staffing, the Village of Bayside reconvened July 18, 2024, and unanimously approved interim police chief services and a recruitment contract with McMahan & Associates; specific contract terms were not provided in the public minutes.
The Village of Bayside Board of Trustees voted July 18, 2024, to approve interim services for the Police Chief and to retain McMahan & Associates to conduct a police-chief recruitment.
Trustee Margaret Zitzer moved to reconvene to open session after a closed session; Trustee Ben Minkin seconded. On the possible action stemming from closed session, Trustee Mike Barth moved and Trustee Margaret Zitzer seconded a motion to approve interim police-chief services and a recruitment engagement with McMahan & Associates; the motion carried unanimously.
The minutes record that the board had convened the closed session under Wisconsin Statute Section 19.85(1)(g) (consultation with legal counsel regarding litigation strategy for Notice of Claim: Parcel No. 020-9980-0007) and Section 19.85(1)(c) (consideration of employment/compensation/performance evaluation data). The closed session lasted approximately 36 minutes, according to the minutes. The public minutes provided do not specify the duration of the interim services, the contractor fee, or any recruitment timeline or milestones—those details were not specified in the record provided and are listed here as not specified.
Board members recorded approval of the engagement by motion; the minutes state the motion "carried unanimously" but do not include a roll-call tally by name in the public record.
