The Kewaskum Police and Fire Commission voted 5-0 on June 8 to convene a closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(c) to consider employment, promotion, compensation or performance-evaluation data related to public employees, the agenda shows.
The action, taken at a meeting posted June 5, 2026, followed a brief procedural agenda in which the commission approved minutes from its June 2 meeting. A commissioner moved to approve those minutes; another seconded and a voice vote carried the motion.
The commission then approved a motion to convene a closed session to hear briefs from "Chief Bishops, Lieutenant Franks, and the village's attorneys regarding charges and emergency dismissal," according to the meeting record. A roll call vote to enter the closed session recorded Commissioners Townsen, Roar, Martin and Guyger and Chairperson Latch voting yes, reported as five yes and zero no. The commission announced it was "now in close session." The published agenda stated the closed session would be attended by the police and fire commission and their attorney only.
The meeting record notes the agenda was mailed to the village board, the police and fire commission, the QASCOM Statesman and the West Bend Daily News, and posted at Westbury Bank, the Kewaskum Post Office and the Municipal Building. The meeting convened at 4 p.m.
No further public actions or outcomes were recorded in the transcript; the commission moved into closed session and the public portion of the record ends there.
