Committee convenes closed session to discuss police contract bargaining; returns with no action
Summary
Under a motion citing Wis. Stat. §19.85(1)(e), the committee entered closed session to receive an update on police contract bargaining; after returning to open session the committee reported no action taken.
Chair read the statutory notice that the committee may adjourn into closed session under section 19.85(1)(e) of the Wisconsin statutes for deliberations or negotiations relating to the purchasing of public properties, investing public funds, or specified public business and stated the subject: an update on police contract bargaining. "Notice is hereby given...as authorized by section 19.85(1)(e) of the Wisconsin statutes," the chair read.
A motion to convene in closed session was made, seconded by Beeman (recorded in the transcript), and the committee voted by voice with those recorded as 'Aye' including Segovitz, Beeman, Benzinger, Norellis and the chair. The committee moved into closed session and later returned to open session and recorded that no action was taken on the police contract bargaining update.
The closed session was taken under the cited statute and no public decisions were made while in closed session; the committee explicitly reported "there is no action taken" on that item when it reopened.
