Council moves into closed session to discuss potential development agreement with Vantage Data Centers
Summary
The council voted to convene a closed session under Wisconsin statute 19.85(1)(e) to deliberate negotiation strategies related to a potential development agreement with Vantage Data Centers LLC and cleared the chambers to proceed.
The Port Washington Common Council voted to convene a closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(e) "for the purpose of deliberating or negotiating the purchase of public property, the investing of public funds, or conducting other specified public business whenever competitive or bargaining reasons require a closed session," specifically to discuss negotiation strategies related to a potential development agreement with Vantage Data Centers LLC.
The motion to enter closed session was moved and seconded and carried on a voice vote by ward. Council cleared the chambers and reconvened behind closed doors; no substantive details about the negotiations were disclosed in open session.
Nut graf: The council cited competitive and bargaining reasons for a closed session under state law, which permits private deliberation on negotiation strategy where public discussion would harm the city's bargaining position.
Because the item moved into closed session, the meeting record contains only the motion, the statutory citation and the council’s vote to enter closed session. Any further actions or outcomes from the closed session were not disclosed in the public portion of the meeting.
Ending: The council entered closed session; any subsequent public actions or votes on this matter will be reported at a later open meeting if and when permitted by law.
