Summary
The committee voted to convene in closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(g) to confer with legal counsel on litigation strategy, including Mayfair Mall v. City of Wauwatosa and cases involving property tax disputes and civil-rights or liability claims.
On May 13, 2025, the Wauwatosa City Financial Affairs Committee voted to convene in closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(g) to confer with legal counsel and discuss strategy related to ongoing and likely litigation involving the city.
The committee specifically listed Mayfair Mall v. City of Wauwatosa (Milwaukee County Circuit Court, tax years 2013–2023), "Freighter Health v. City of Wauwatosa" (listed for tax years 2020–2023 in staff remarks), and "various property tax, civil rights, and liability cases." Committee members read the statutory authority aloud and moved that the committee go into closed session; the motion stated the committee would not reconvene in open session.
Aler McCluth (mover) read the motion invoking Wisconsin statute 19.85(1)(g); another committee member seconded, and the committee voted 5-0 to enter closed session.
