b. Resolution 2000-09 regarding Paramedic Program

MOTION TO APPROVE 2000-09 REGARDING PARAMEDIC PROGRAM. (ROMANOWSKI/ALDRIDGE) DISCUSSION.

City Adm. Carlson stated that the State of Wisconsin requires departments that achieve the permit level to get certification from the State in order to become a paramedic department. Part of the licensing effort is to have local community adopt support for the creation of the program. Therefore, in order to achieve State certification, the City needs to have an intent from the legislative body that's included in the resolution. The City cannot get certification from the State without showing the level of support from the local community. This is a piece of paper from the Delafield City Council to the State which expresses the City's support and intent to create a paramedic program. CARRIED.

8. Administrator's Report.

City Adm. Carlson dispensed some packets of information that include the Tax Increment Finance law (TIF) plan request at the last meeting; a copy of the brochure sent to the City by the labor attorneys for a public official seminar on labor trends; information regarding the open-meetings law; and a booklet put together by the City of Monona for members of boards, commissions and committees. If, after review of the City of Monona booklet the council finds that it might be useful,

Adm. Carlson stated that he would like to create one and adapt it to the City of Delafield. Discussion. Adm. Carlson stated that the Waukesha District Attorney states that when placing something on an agenda for closed session, two criteria are required:

(1) the State statute must be listed, and
(2) some element of the nature of the business must be listed.

City Attorney William Chapman explained the requirements of the Closed Session statutes. The City will be involved with principally three closed session statutes:

(1) employment, promotion and evaluation, compensation;
(2) purchase of public properties, investing of public funds and any other purpose where bargaining for competitive reasons is necessary (labor negotiations); and
(3) consult with legal council with regard to strategy and legal actions that have been commenced, or are pending or might be commenced.

Ald. Quartaro expressed an interest in being as open and specific as possible, unless it is a competitive issue. Atty. Chapman stated that for purposes of discussing strategy in union negotiations two items should be listed: employment and compensation and also the bargaining. Atty. Chapman further stated that (c) states that the City cannot go into closed session to discuss general policy for salaries and things of that nature. For example, if deciding what to pay the City Administrator-not a specific individual-this must be in open session. When the Roll Call vote is taken, the Alderpersons may vote nay if they feel the matter should not be discussed in closed session. Finally, City Attorney Chapman stated that the City of Delafield is in compliance with the closed session statute.
