Summary

The board was presented with a $500,000 offer from Hat Barth Commercial LLC for 8745 North Deerwood Drive (Brown Deer Beer Garden) and voted to go into closed session to deliberate the prospective purchase.

Village staff reported a single offer of $500,000 from Hat Barth Commercial LLC for 8745 North Deerwood Drive, the property that housed the Brown Deer Beer Garden. Staff said the potential buyer (owner named Paul) could not attend but provided a written letter outlining commitment to programming; a representative, John, spoke to trustees about Paul’s prior operations and public-event experience.

After a brief public presentation and trustee questions, the board voted to recess into closed session for the purpose of deliberating the offer and negotiating purchase terms related to acquisition of public property. The motion to enter closed session was moved and seconded and passed unanimously. The board did not act on the offer in open session; deliberations will continue in closed session.
