West Allis committee convenes closed session; acts on property-assessment objection and a workers’ compensation matter
Summary
Under Wis. Stat. §19.85(1)(g) the Nutrition Committee met in closed session to consult legal counsel on litigation strategy related to an objection to the property assessment at 9015 West Maple Street and a workers’ compensation claim involving Robert Eldridge; afterwards the committee voted to follow the state attorney's recommendation on the assessment and to appeal the workers' compensation matter as discussed in closed session.
The Nutrition Committee voted to convene in closed session under Wisconsin Statutes Section 19.85(1)(g) to consult with legal counsel on two matters: an objection to the property assessment for 9015 West Maple Street (agenda item 52) and a workers’ compensation case involving Robert Eldridge (agenda item 53).
The committee conducted a roll-call vote to enter closed session, reconvened in open session and then moved to act on each matter. The committee voted to act in accordance with the state attorney’s recommendation regarding the property-assessment objection and voted to direct the attorney to appeal as discussed in the closed session regarding the Robert Eldridge workers’ compensation case. The meeting record shows those motions were seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript does not include the closed-session deliberations or the attorney’s recommended position.
Because the legal discussions occurred in closed session, the transcript only records the motions and outcomes taken in open session; details of legal strategy and the underlying facts were not disclosed in the public transcript.
