Saint Francis council votes to enter closed session to discuss developer amendment, TID expenditures and pending litigation
Summary
At the July 1 meeting the council voted to adjourn into closed session under Wisconsin statutes to deliberate a developer request for a third amendment to a development agreement, related TID 5 expenditures, and to confer with counsel on pending litigation and scheduled mediation.
The Saint Francis Common Council voted July 1 to enter closed session under Wisconsin Statute section 19.85(1)(e) and 19.85(1)(g) to deliberate purchase of public properties, investments of public funds or conduct other specified public business requiring competitive or bargaining reasons for confidentiality, and to confer with legal counsel regarding litigation strategy.
The closed-session items listed in the motion included a developerrequest for a third amendment to the development agreement between the City of Saint Francis and Campbell Capital Group LLC for property at 3700 South Lake Drive and related TID 5 expenditures; and authorizations related to participation in scheduled mediation concerning City of Saint Francis v. B R I 1 LLC et al and a matter involving 2830 East Layton Avenue. The council asked for the motion to close the session in order to discuss the items in the West Room.
A member moved the motion to adjourn into closed session and a second was recorded. The meeting then reflected a roll-call affirmation: Alderman Brickner, Alderman Damon, Alderman Waddahua, Alderman Calderon and Alderman Fliss each responded "Aye" on the roll call; the council president (Feier) announced the motion carried and the body recessed for a short break before going into closed session.
No substantive details of the closed-session deliberations are recorded in the public transcript. The public record lists the statutory bases for closing the meeting and specifies the agenda items to be discussed in closed session.
