The City of Green Bay Personnel Committee convened June 9 and voted to enter a closed session to discuss the city’s 2027 labor contract negotiations with IAFF Local 141 (firefighters) and the Green Bay Professional Police Association.
The meeting opened with routine business: Alder Shelton moved to approve the agenda, and the committee approved it by voice vote. Alder Shelton then moved to approve the minutes, seconded by Alder Hus; members responded “Aye” and the minutes were approved.
The committee then discussed updates on negotiating positions for the two 2027 labor agreements and moved to convene in closed session. "The committee may convene in closed session pursuant to state statute 19.85 for purpose of deliberating or negotiating public employee contracts," a committee member read aloud as part of the motion. The motion to go into closed session was seconded and carried on a voice vote.
After the closed session, the committee returned to open session and reported out that staff should proceed according to the closed-session discussion. A motion "to direct staff to proceed as discussed in close session" was made and seconded (the transcript records the second as "shelter"); the record indicates the motion was agreed to and staff were directed to move forward.
Committee members and staff also reviewed the personnel report format that lists any new open positions at the top; the transcript records no specific vacancy counts or job titles. The Personnel Committee scheduled its next meeting for June 30, 2026.
The session’s formal actions recorded in the meeting transcript were approval of the agenda and minutes, a motion and vote to enter closed session under Wis. Stat. § 19.85 for contract negotiations, and a post–closed-session motion directing staff to proceed as discussed. The transcript does not record roll-call vote tallies for the motions, only voice votes and affirmative responses.
