At a special virtual meeting April 13, the Lodi Public Library board voted to approve Andrea Parementier as the library's new director after a closed-session personnel discussion under Wis. Stat. § 19.85(1)(c). Kutz will extend the job offer the following day.
The Lodi Public Library board voted April 13 to approve Andrea Parementier as the library's new director following a closed-session personnel discussion under Wisconsin law.
Board Chair Kutz moved that “this board approves the recommendation of Andrea Parementier as the new Lodi Library Director,” and Herman seconded. The motion passed; the minutes state Kutz will make the offer the next day. The board had earlier recessed into closed session to discuss the candidate under Wis. Stat. § 19.85(1)(c), the state statute authorizing closed deliberations on personnel matters.
Attendance at the virtual special meeting included Kutz; Mayer; Herman; Zarnikow; Walsh; Katelyn Van Lankvelt; Potter; Rowe; and Klahn, with Wilson recorded as absent. A roll-call vote to enter the closed session was recorded as ayes from Kutz, Mayer, Herman, Zarnikow, Walsh, Van Lankvelt, Potter, Rowe and Klahn. The public record lists no visitors.
The minutes state only that the motion to appoint Parementier passed; no detailed vote tally for the appointment in open session is included in the record. The next procedural step listed in the minutes is that Kutz will make the employment offer to Parementier the following day. The meeting adjourned at 6:10 p.m.
The board cited Wis. Stat. § 19.85(1)(c) in moving into closed session to discuss the selection of a library director; the minutes do not record further discussion or candidate details in open session.
