The Personnel Committee meeting for the Village of Jackson, Wisconsin, convened at 8 AM on February 3, 2025, with all members present. The meeting began with the approval of the minutes from the previous meeting held on December 10, 2024. With no corrections noted, a motion was made by Kripke to approve the minutes, which was seconded. The motion passed unanimously.

Following the approval of the minutes, the committee moved into a closed session. This session was conducted in accordance with Wisconsin Statutes 19.851C, focusing on employment matters, including the promotion, compensation, and performance evaluation of public employees. The primary purpose of the closed session was to interview candidates for two key positions: Director of Parks and Recreation and Director of Public Works. The personnel committee, along with the village administrator, participated in the interviews alongside the candidates at their designated times.

The motion to enter closed session was made by Hekendorf and seconded by Kripke, followed by a roll call vote that confirmed the decision to proceed. All members voted in favor, and the motion carried.

The meeting underscored the committee's commitment to filling critical leadership roles within the village's public services, ensuring effective management and oversight of community resources. Further updates on the outcomes of the interviews and any subsequent actions will be anticipated in future meetings.
