Village staff publicly endorse administrator ahead of closed‑session personnel discussion
Summary
Several village department leaders read a signed statement praising Village Administrator Adam Getter’s leadership, fiscal oversight and community development work; the board then moved into closed session under Wisconsin law to discuss personnel matters.
Library Director Stephanie Fry read a letter from multiple village staff expressing support for Village Administrator Adam Getter and highlighting accomplishments during his roughly five years in the position. The letter praised his fiscal oversight, collaboration with departments, leadership on EMS partnership work, shared public‑works staffing, efforts to explore wastewater alternatives, and support during the library transition and expansion. Fry said staff feel supported and valued and listed signatories from fire, wastewater, administration, finance and library personnel.
Shortly after public comment, a trustee moved and the board voted to convene in closed session pursuant to Wisconsin Statute §19.85(1)(f) to discuss personnel matters involving the assistant administrator and clerk and to consult with the village attorney. The roll call vote was taken and the board entered closed session.
Why it matters: Public staff endorsements at a board meeting are notable for local governance and provide context for the subsequent closed‑session personnel discussion; the board’s use of the specific statute signals the subject matter relates to personnel investigations or charges.
