Village of Waterford personnel committee holds closed session on EMS employee discipline, directs chair to act
Summary
On April 16, 2026, the Village of Waterford Personnel Committee met in closed session under Wis. Stat. §19.85(1)(f) to consider disciplinary data related to an EMS employee; after reconvening the committee voted to direct Chair Tamara Pollnow to carry out steps discussed in closed session.
The Village of Waterford Personnel Committee voted April 16 to meet in closed session to consider disciplinary data concerning a specific EMS employee, then reconvened and directed the chair to act on matters discussed behind closed doors.
Chair Tamara Pollnow called the meeting to order at 5:31 p.m. The committee first approved minutes from March 19 and April 2, 2026 (motions by Kathy Nargis, seconded by Rebecca Bell; both motions carried with all ayes).
At 5:33 p.m., Laura Olson moved and Rebecca Bell seconded a motion to convene into executive session pursuant to Wisconsin State Statutes Section 19.85(1)(f), which allows closed consideration of disciplinary data and personnel investigations. The committee approved the motion by roll-call vote: Pollnow—aye, Nargis—aye, Jaskie—aye, Bell—aye and Olson—aye.
The committee reconvened into open session at 8:20 p.m. on a motion by Kathy Nargis, seconded by Laura Olson; the motion carried with all ayes. In open session the committee voted on a motion by Olson, seconded by Bell, to “direct Chair Pollnow to carry out what was discussed in closed session.” That motion passed with all ayes.
No disciplinary details, findings or personnel actions were stated in the public minutes. The record notes only that the executive session concerned “disciplinary data of specific persons” and identifies the subject generically as an EMS employee; the committee did not provide further public detail about the substance of the closed-session discussion.
The meeting concluded with a motion by Olson, seconded by Nargis, to adjourn at 8:22 p.m.; the motion carried with all ayes.
What happens next: The minutes show the committee has authorized Chair Tamara Pollnow to carry out actions discussed in closed session, but the minutes do not specify what those actions are or any timeline for implementation. No additional public hearings or votes were scheduled in the minutes.
