Council moves into closed session to discuss possible land sale and development incentives, then adjourns
Summary
Using Wisconsin open-meetings law, the Common Council voted to convene in closed session to deliberate the possible sale of public land and incentives for development. After the closed session, the council adjourned and did not reconvene an open session that night.
The Common Council voted Oct. 6 to go into closed session under Wisconsin open-meetings law to discuss the potential sale of public property and possible incentives for development.
Mayor Joe Longert read the statute cited by staff as the basis for closing the meeting: deliberations or negotiations regarding the purchase or sale of public properties and the investing of public funds when competitive or bargaining reasons require a closed session. The motion to go into closed session passed on a roll-call vote; the council then adjourned from closed session without reconvening in open session that night.
No substantive details of the closed session discussion were disclosed in the open record; the council indicated it would adjourn from closed session and not reconvene.
