Description

Communication for the approval of the September 8, 2026, meeting minutes.

Summary

At its September 8, 2026 meeting, Milwaukee’s Board of City Service Commissioners approved prior meeting minutes and several personnel actions. The Board extended probationary periods for four employees in Information Technology, Milwaukee Water Works, and the Health Department, each for three to six months. It also approved reinstatement requests for employees seeking positions in Water Works, Neighborhood Services, and the Health Department. In a public hearing, the Board reviewed Scott Reiske’s discharge appeal, entered closed session for deliberations, and determined that the department had just cause for discipline. It amended the penalty to a 15-day unpaid suspension and prospective reinstatement without back pay. The meeting was conducted in hybrid form, supporting public access through in-person attendance, livestreaming, television, and phone participation.
