Council to discuss possible Visit Marshall agreement in closed session after debrief
Summary
After a public debrief on an interactive Visit Marshall presentation from July 9, the council voted to adjourn to closed session under Wisconsin open-meeting law to deliberate a potential agreement with the tourism entity and to consider exclusive negotiation rights for a redevelopment project.
City Administrator Steve Barr offered a public debrief on a July 9 special council meeting that featured a presentation by Matt McClain from Visit Marshall. Barr said the July 9 meeting was "interactive" and that "our next step after this will be to ultimately be in closed session to be talking about a potential, new agreement with Visit Marshall for moving forward if that's where the council wishes to go." Later in the meeting, the council voted to adjourn to closed session under Wisconsin Statutes §19.85(1)(e), which permits deliberation of negotiating strategies for purchasing public properties or conducting other specified public business when competitive or bargaining reasons require a closed session. The motion—related to exclusive negotiation rights for the Weinburner redevelopment project and a potential tourism agreement with Visit Marshall—was made by Alderman Douglas and seconded by Alderman Riley; the council voted to enter closed session.
