Bayside board convenes closed session on notice of claim and manager performance; reconvenes with no action
Summary
At the Jan. 23 meeting the Bayside board voted to meet in closed session under Section 19.85(1)(c) to discuss a Notice of Claim (Parcel No. 020‑9980‑0007) and village manager personnel matters. A roughly 25‑minute closed session occurred; the board reconvened and took no action on those items.
The Village of Bayside Board of Trustees moved into closed session on Jan. 23 under Section 19.85(1)(c) of the Wisconsin statutes to consult with legal counsel about litigation strategy on a Notice of Claim (Parcel No. 020‑9980‑0007) and to consider employment, promotion, compensation or performance evaluation data regarding the Village Manager. The motion to convene to closed session was made by Trustee Mike Barth, seconded by Trustee Ben Minkin, and carried unanimously.
The transcript records a closed session of approximately 25 minutes during which the board discussed the Notice of Claim and matters related to the Village Manager. After the closed session the board reconvened to open session; no action was taken on the closed session items.
Why it matters: closed sessions are used to permit trustees to consult with legal counsel or discuss confidential personnel matters; the board's use of the closed session statute indicates potential legal exposure related to the named parcel and internal personnel review, but the transcript records no formal action following the closed session.
