Council moves into closed session to discuss potential sale of portion of Eagles Ridge Drive property
Summary
The Beloit City Council voted to enter a closed session under Wisconsin statutes to consider the potential sale of part of 3500 Eagles Ridge Drive and did not plan to reconvene in open session, as announced during the meeting.
The Beloit City Council voted to adjourn into closed session to discuss negotiation and potential sale of a portion of city property at 3500 Eagles Ridge Drive under the closed‑session exception in Wisconsin law covering bargaining and competitive reasons.
The council invoked Section 19.85(1)(e) of the Wisconsin Statutes, which permits closed session deliberations for the purchasing or sale of public properties and other bargaining matters when public disclosure would harm the municipality's negotiating position. A motion to go into closed session was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the mayor stated the council would not reconvene in open session at the end of the closed meeting.
No details about the property parcel, potential buyer, or terms were disclosed in open session.
