Committee convenes closed session for litigation advice and returns to pass file 251215
Summary
Under Wisconsin Statute s.19.85(1)(g) the Community Economic Development Committee met in closed session to confer with the city attorney on litigation matters and, upon return to open session, ordered passage of file 251215 with no objections.
The committee voted to convene in closed session pursuant to Wisconsin Statute s.19.85(1)(g) "for the purpose of conferring with the city attorney who will render oral or written advice with respect to litigation in which the city is or is likely to become involved," as read by the chair. A roll call was conducted, with members recorded as voting "aye," and the committee recessed to closed session. After reconvening in open session, the committee moved for passage of file 251215 and recorded "hearing no objection," after which the chair ordered the file passed.
City Attorney Evan Goike attended with Assistant City Attorney Andrea Fowler and the committee indicated the closed-session action was taken to obtain legal advice; no additional committee debate or litigation details were disclosed in open session.
