Committee approves settlement resolution with Zilly Hospitality Group after closed session discussion
Summary
Following a closed-session legal briefing, the committee voted to adopt a resolution authorizing a settlement agreement and mutual release with Grandview Management Inc., d/b/a Zilly Hospitality Group, resolving disputes tied to a prior catering and facility agreement.
After a closed-session legal briefing under Wis. Stat. —6 19.85(1)(g), the Parks and Culture Committee reconvened and voted to adopt a resolution authorizing Milwaukee County to enter a settlement agreement and mutual release with Grandview Management Inc., doing business as Zilly Hospitality Group, resolving certain disputes under a 2013 catering and facility-management agreement (amended May 2, 2019).
The committee met in closed session to receive legal advice regarding settlement strategy and the pending matter; corporation counsel briefed members and the committee returned to open session to vote on the resolution. The committee recorded a 4-1 vote to recommend adoption of the settlement resolution to the board (the motion carried). Committee materials indicated the item had been referred to both Parks and the Judiciary, Law Enforcement and General Services Committee earlier in the month.
Because settlement negotiations and related legal advice can be confidential, committee discussion in closed session was not recorded for public minutes. The committee's open-session action authorized the county to finalize the settlement and mutual release consistent with the terms reviewed in closed session and as recommended by corporation counsel.
