Summary

Following a closed session under Wisconsin Statute §19.85, the Common Council approved an agreement between the City of Oak Creek and Amenshein Park Beer Garden LLC; the record contains multiple spellings of the business name, which the council discussed in closed session before approving the agreement upon reconvening.

The Oak Creek Common Council convened into closed session on Dec. 2 under Wisconsin Statute §19.85 to discuss an agreement that may include investment of public funds between the city and a local beer garden operator whose name appears in the record with variant spellings (transcript: Abenshein/Evanchine/Amenshein Park Beer Garden LLC).

The motion to enter closed session specified Wis. Stat. §19.85(1)(e). After recessing into closed session and later reconvening in open session, Council President Gell moved to approve the agreement between the City of Oak Creek and Amenshein Park Beer Garden LLC; the motion was seconded and adopted by roll call.

The transcript records the existence of the closed-session discussion and the subsequent approval but does not include the closed-session deliberations themselves. The public record shows only that the council authorized execution of the agreement upon return to open session.
