Lodi Area EMS Commission discusses employee handbook updates; enters closed session, reports no action
Summary
At its June 10 special meeting, the Lodi Area EMS Commission reviewed revisions to the employee handbook—focusing on vacation accrual and holiday pay—and approved the agenda and May 20 minutes. The commission entered a closed session under Wis. Stat. §19.85 but recorded no formal actions arising from it.
The Lodi Area EMS Commission met June 10, 2026, at the Lodi Area EMS Station to review changes to its employee handbook and to transact routine business. The commission approved the meeting agenda and the May 20, 2026 minutes before discussing handbook revisions and later entering a closed session under Wisconsin law.
Nick Eberle, who is identified in the minutes as secretary, led the discussion of proposed handbook edits alongside Vicki Ingalls and Interim Chief Amie Brown. The discussion focused on vacation time accrual policies and differences in holiday pay; the minutes state that revisions were made during the meeting and that printer copies will be presented at the next meeting for further consideration. No formal motion to adopt handbook changes was recorded at this meeting.
The commission handled several procedural matters early in the meeting. Kevin Kessler moved to approve the agenda; Rick Stone seconded and the motion carried 6-0. Brendan Flanagan moved and Vicki Ingalls seconded approval of the May 20 minutes; that motion also carried 6-0. A separate motion by Kessler to recess received no second and failed.
At 8:04 PM the commission voted to enter closed session under Wis. Stat. §19.85(1)(c) and (f). The roll call associated with that motion in the minutes shows affirmative marks for Nick Eberle, Brendan Flanagan, Vicki Ingalls, Kevin Kessler and Rick Stone; the minutes do not record a roll-call vote for John Ungrodt, and they note that Interim Chief Amie Brown was included for part of the closed session. The minutes state the commission reconvened in open session at 9:13 PM and that "matters discussed in closed session had no motions to be made at this time."
The commission confirmed its next meeting for June 24, 2026, at 6:00 PM at the Lodi Area EMS Station and listed future agenda items including an IGA and a follow-up on vacation-time policy. The meeting adjourned at 9:15 PM; the minutes were drafted by Nick Eberle, secretary.
Actions at a glance: agenda approved (motion by Kevin Kessler; second Rick Stone; vote recorded 6-0); minutes of May 20 approved (motion by Brendan Flanagan; second Vicki Ingalls; vote recorded 6-0); recess motion failed (moved by Kevin Kessler; no second); motion to enter closed session passed per roll-call marks (affirmative marks recorded for five members); adjournment carried (moved Rick Stone; second Nick Eberle; vote recorded 6-0).
