Manitowoc Room Tax Commission votes to enter closed session to discuss long-term visitor center and office location
Summary
The Manitowoc Room Tax Commission voted unanimously to convene a closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(e) to discuss a long-term visitor center and office location; no substantive action was taken in open session.
At its meeting, the Manitowoc Room Tax Commission voted unanimously to convene a closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(e) to deliberate on “long term visitor center and office location,” an agenda item the commission said required competitive or bargaining confidentiality.
The closed-session motion was made and seconded in open session; commissioners voted in favor and the body recessed to closed session. The commission stated the authority for the closed session as Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(e), which permits deliberation or negotiation over the purchase of public property, the investing of public funds, or other business where competitive or bargaining reasons require confidentiality. The agenda item referenced in the motion was recorded in the meeting as “25-04-68 discussion on long term visitor center and office location.”
No substantive deliberations or decisions on the visitor center were made or reported in open session. After the closed-session motion and votes, the presiding official noted there would be no action in open session and the meeting adjourned.
The commission did not provide further public details about potential locations, budget figures, timelines, or counterparties during the open portion of the meeting; those matters were scheduled for the closed session covered by the statutory authorization.
