Neillsville committee enters closed session to discuss Neillsville Police Association contract

The Neillsville Personnel Committee voted July 27 to convene in closed session under Wis. Stat. §19.85(1)(c) to discuss union contract negotiations with the Neillsville Police Association. The committee cited wages, benefits and conditions of employment as the topics to be considered in the closed session.

Mayor Duane Poeschel moved the procedural action to enter closed session; Council Member William Neville IV seconded and the roll call vote was unanimous ('All Aye'). The committee also approved a motion "to invite Chief of Police Mankowski and City Attorney Nathan Miller for item 2," indicating those staff were to participate in the portion of the closed session that addressed the police contract. The transcript records no public decisions about contract terms or concessions.
