Council moves to closed session to review MSA Professional Services quote for treatment-plant upgrades
Summary
The council voted to enter closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(e) to discuss negotiation and procurement strategy for water and wastewater treatment-plant upgrade construction-management services from MSA Professional Services.
The City Council voted to go into closed session to discuss a quote from MSA Professional Services for construction-management services related to water and wastewater treatment-plant upgrade projects.
The motion invoked Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(e) (deliberative negotiation or bargaining for purchase of public properties or specified business) as the legal basis for a closed session. A motion to enter closed session was made by Reginald and seconded by Olsen; the council then took a roll-call vote and entered closed session at the time recorded in the minutes.
Council members said the closed-session discussion is intended to review procurement terms and negotiation strategy for professional services and to protect the city's bargaining position. The council later returned from closed session per the meeting record; no details of the closed-session deliberations were disclosed in the public transcript.
