Delavan council votes to recess to closed session on offer to buy North Fourth Street lot
Summary
The Delavan Common Council and finance committee voted to recess into closed session under Wisconsin Statutes 19.85(1)(e) to deliberate an offer to purchase a city-owned vacant lot on North Fourth Street; roll call showed unanimous support to enter closed session.
The Delavan Common Council and finance committee voted to recess into closed session to consider an offer to purchase a city-owned vacant lot on North Fourth Street.
The motion to go into closed session cited Wisconsin Statutes 19.85(1)(e), which allows deliberation or negotiation on purchasing public property when competitive or bargaining reasons require confidentiality. A finance committee member moved to recess to closed session; a second was recorded, and a roll call was conducted.
Roll call votes recorded “yes” from Miss Olsen, Mayor Schrader and the aldermen present (Alderman Square, Alderman Seff, Alderman Armstrong Garcia and Alderman Wilson). Following the roll call the chair declared the meeting in closed session to discuss the offer to purchase the vacant lot.
Nut graf: The council’s action moved discussion into a confidential setting permitted by state law so members could deliberate terms and bargaining strategy without public disclosure. No purchase decision was announced in open session; the meeting recessed to closed session for those negotiations.
Ending: The transcript records only the vote to enter closed session and the subject (an offer to purchase the North Fourth Street city-owned lot). No further details on the offer, buyer or price were disclosed in open session.
