Village of Cross Plains police commission approves minutes, moves to discuss personnel in closed session

The Village of Cross Plains Police Commission conducted roll call, recited the Pledge of Allegiance and approved minutes from the Feb. 24, 2026 meeting before moving to consider a closed session for personnel matters.

An official read the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of the meeting: "I have allegiance to the flag of The United States Of America and to the Republic for which it stands, 1 nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all," according to the meeting transcript.

Meeting organizers told attendees how to register public comments during the virtual meeting and before it began, directing requests to Chief Tony Rezia by email. The transcript records instructions to contact "chief Tony Rezia" for advance comment registration but does not capture a finished email address in the provided excerpt.

A participant moved to approve the minutes from the meeting on 02/24/2026, another asked to second, and the chair called for a vote; attendees answered "Aye" and no opposition is recorded in the supplied transcript, indicating the minutes were approved.

Later in the session an official said the commission would meet in closed session "pursuant to ... of Wisconsin statute" to consider "evaluation data of any public employer" under the governing body's jurisdiction and to interview full‑time police officer candidates. The transcript includes the verbal citation "1 to 19.8 by 1 c of Wisconsin statute," verbatim as spoken in the record.

A motion to enter closed session was made and seconded, and the chair asked "All in favor?" The provided transcript stops after brief, fragmented remarks and does not include a recorded vote count or an explicit statement that the commission entered closed session.

The commission did not record further public actions or decisions in the supplied transcript excerpt. The next procedural steps — whether the closed session began, whether candidates were interviewed that day, or any resulting personnel action — are not recorded in the portions provided.
