Summary

Following two closed-session votes on TID/TIF real-estate matters, the West Bend Common Council reconvened and authorized the city administrator to sign a purchase-sale agreement after final review by planning, engineering and legal departments.

The West Bend Common Council met in closed session on Jan. 5 under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(e) to discuss negotiations for a development agreement in TID No. 17 and a potential purchase agreement for three tax parcels in TIF No. 14. Separate roll-call votes to move into closed session were recorded with each named member responding "Aye."

At 8:30 p.m. the council reconvened in open session. The presiding official asked City Attorney Ian to outline a suggested motion: to authorize the city administrator to sign the purchase-sale agreement after final approval by the planning, engineering and legal departments. A motion was made and seconded; Alderman Sternig was recorded as mover and Alderman Butchlich as the second. The council took a voice vote and the motion carried.

The authorization is contingent on final departmental reviews and legal sign-off; the council did not publish the specific parcel details during the open-session action but referenced the tax parcels listed on the meeting agenda. The meeting adjourned immediately after the vote.
