Chippewa Falls council met in closed session to discuss business-park site and city administrator candidates
Summary
The Common Council entered closed session on May 19 under Wis. Stats. §19.85(1)(e) and §19.85(1)(c) to discuss a potential business park site and review semi-finalists for the City Administrator position; the minutes record discussion but do not record public action on those matters.
The Chippewa Falls Common Council went into closed session on May 19 under Wisconsin statutes to deliberate sensitive economic-development and personnel matters. The motion to enter closed session (by John Monarski, seconded by Rob Kiefer) invoked Wis. Stats. §19.85(1)(e) to permit bargaining or competitive deliberations about a potential site location for a future business park, and §19.85(1)(c) to permit consideration of employment-related data as the council reviewed semi-finalists for the city administrator position.
The minutes list the required limited attendance for the closed session (the Mayor, council members, City Attorney, certain staff and Shawn Murphy of Public Administration Associates). The minutes state: “The Council discussed the items above.” The record does not disclose details of the discussions and does not list any formal public action taken in closed session.
The council returned to open session at 10:16 p.m. by motion of Paul Nadreau and John Monarski; a roll call vote recorded all members voting aye. The minutes note that the council may return to open session for possible action on closed-session items, but the published minutes for this meeting do not record any final public action on the site or administrator-selection items.
Statutory citations identified in the minutes are Wis. Stats. §19.85(1)(e) and §19.85(1)(c).
