Douglas County committee moves to closed session to discuss Chapter 980 supervised-release placements
Summary
On Sept. 5 the Douglas County Chapter 980 Ad Hoc Committee voted unanimously in roll-call to adjourn to closed session under Wis. Stat. §19.85 to discuss confidential placement factors and apply Wis. Stat. §980.08(4)(dm) to specific supervised-release cases; open session adjourned at 1:25 p.m. and reconvened at 1:42 p.m.
The Douglas County Chapter 980 Ad Hoc Committee voted on Sept. 5 to adjourn its open session and convene in closed session to deliberate supervised-release placements. The motion, made by Zach DeVoe and seconded by Meghan Carey, invoked Wis. Stat. §19.85(1)(g) to confer with legal counsel and Wis. Stat. §19.85(1)(f) to consider financial, medical, social or personal histories of specific persons; the committee applied statutory placement factors under Wis. Stat. §980.08(4)(dm). A roll-call vote was taken and all present committee members voted yes; the open session adjourned at 1:25 p.m. The minutes record that the committee reconvened open session at 1:42 p.m.
The closed-session motion was recorded as a formal action in the meeting minutes. Because the discussion involved confidential case information and statutory factors for specific Chapter 980 supervised-release cases, the committee met behind closed doors under the cited Wisconsin statutes. The minutes do not detail the contents of the closed session.
