Summary

At a May 21 special meeting the Tomah Public Library Board adjourned to closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(e) to discuss hiring a new library director, reconvened under Wis. Stat. 19.85(2) at 7:30 p.m., and adjourned the meeting; no public hiring decision was recorded in the minutes.

A motion was made and seconded to adjourn the Tomah Public Library Board into closed session "pursuant to Wisconsin State Statute 19.85(1)(e)" for discussion of hiring a new library director. The motion passed by unanimous vote and the board moved into closed session at 5:35 p.m.

The minutes show the board later made a motion to leave closed session "pursuant to Wisconsin State Statute 19.85(2)." The motion to reconvene carried unanimously, and the board returned to open session at 7:30 p.m. The public minutes do not record any hiring decision or any roll-call vote identifying individual yes/no votes.

After reconvening, the board immediately took a motion to adjourn, which was seconded and carried by unanimous vote; the meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.

Because the discussion of personnel occurred in a closed session under the cited statute, minutes appropriately summarize procedural steps but do not disclose the content of the personnel discussion.
