Algoma council votes to enter closed session over intergovernmental agreement and police chief personnel
Summary
The council voted unanimously to enter closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(e) to deliberate an intergovernmental services agreement with the City of Kewaunee and to consider employment and performance matters related to the police chief.
Algoma — The Algoma Common Council voted Monday to move into closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(e) to discuss an intergovernmental agreement for services with the City of Kewaunee and to consider employment, promotion, compensation or performance data related to the police chief.
Mayor moved for the closed session citing competitive or bargaining reasons for negotiating public property and fund investments; the motion was seconded and approved by a unanimous roll-call vote. The motion invoked the statutory exemption that allows the council to deliberate contract and personnel matters in closed session when open discussion could harm the city's bargaining position.
The council's action was limited to approving the closed-session motion; the transcript records no substantive details of the intergovernmental agreement or the chief's personnel matters in open session. Any actions resulting from the closed session would be recorded in the minutes consistent with state law when appropriate.
