Monroe finance committee recommends denying notice(s) of claim after closed session
Summary
The Finance and Taxation Committee met in closed session under Wis. Stat. § 19.85(1)(e) to consider notices of claim submitted to the City of Monroe and unanimously voted to recommend denial, forwarding the recommendation to the Common Council.
The Finance and Taxation Committee of Monroe met, moved into closed session under Wis. Stat. § 19.85(1)(e), and after returning to open session unanimously recommended denial of notice(s) of claim submitted to the city.
The Chair announced the committee would go into closed session to deliberate matters related to notices of claim; after the closed review, a motion to deny the claim was made and seconded in open session. "I'll make a motion to deny the claim," a committee member said, and the clerk conducted a roll call. The Chair announced, "And that passes unanimously." The committee said it will forward its recommendation to the Common Council for final action.
The committee cited state open-meetings law as the basis for closing the meeting while discussing the claims. The transcript records the committee taking the matter up in closed session and then acting in open session to recommend denial; the staff or committee did not state details of the claims on the public record during the open session. Next steps are procedural: the Common Council will receive the committee's recommendation and decide whether to accept it.
