Mr. David Olsen
Executive Director
Jefferson Chamber of Commerce
305 S. Main Street
Jefferson, WI 53549

Dear Mr. Olsen:

This will confirm our telephone conversation of October 21 followed by your letter of October 22, 1999. I believe your letter accurately reflects our telephone conversation. On the question of whether you are a city employee, I would add the caveat, as I believe I did in our conversation, that this office is not authorized to provide opinions on matters outside of the public records and open meetings law except to certain public officials. Therefore, although it appears to me that you would not be considered a public employee, that is not an opinion from this office.

Sincerely,

Alan Lee
Assistant Attorney General
