Wausau Ethics Board schedules follow-up meeting to finalize findings, then adjourns

The Wausau Ethics Board said it will reconvene next Wednesday, the 15th, to finalize a decision and issue written findings, and adjourned its open-session meeting at about 7:30 p.m.

The announcement came after the board completed a closed session. The chair called the meeting to order in open session, noted that the board has scheduled another meeting “for next week, Wednesday” to finish its work, and asked whether there was any other business. Seeing none, the chair “entertained a motion to adjourn.” A motion was moved and seconded, and the chair called, “All in favor, say aye.” The transcript records attendees responding “Aye.” The transcript does not identify individual movers, seconders or vote names.

The board did not provide additional details in the open session about the substance of the pending decision or the written findings to be issued at the next meeting. The chair indicated the board will finalize a decision and the written findings at that follow-up meeting. No statute, ordinance or other legal reference was cited in the recorded remarks.

Members and the public will need to wait until the next scheduled meeting for the board’s formal decision and the text of its written findings.
