Waldo board enters closed session on litigation strategy and later accepts attorney's option two
Summary
Trustees entered closed session under Wis. Stat. SS. 19.85(1)(g) to confer with counsel about litigation strategy and, after returning to open session, voted to accept "option two" recommended by the village attorney; the minutes do not describe the option's details.
At the Sept. 8 meeting the Village of Waldo Board voted to enter a closed session under Wisconsin Statute SS. 19.85(1)(g) to confer with legal counsel regarding litigation strategy. Roll-call votes were recorded as aye from Trustees Joshua Behr, Jerome (Jerry) Hammarlund, Travis Thomas, Dennis Reinemann and Michael Hintz, and the board entered closed session at 7:31 p.m.
The trustees later reconvened to open session under SS. 19.85(2) at 7:48 p.m. Following the closed session, Trustee Jerry Hammarlund moved to accept "option two" as recommended by the village attorney; Trustee Dennis Reinemann seconded the motion and the board carried the motion. The minutes do not disclose the substance of "option two," consistent with the closed-session exemption allowing confidential attorney-client deliberations.
What happens next: The board recorded acceptance of the attorney's recommendation; no further public detail was included in the minutes about the litigation or subsequent filings.
