Summary

Village staff said a Phase 2 application will be reviewed by the CDA on Feb. 25 with a recommendation to the board likely March 16. The board then voted unanimously to enter closed session under state open-meetings law to deliberate purchase of a prospective public works facility.

Village staff informed the board that a Phase 2 application related to a development project has been received and scheduled for review by the Community Development Authority (CDA on Feb. 25 at 9:00 a.m.); staff told trustees they expect to bring a recommendation to the village board likely on March 16.

Shortly after that report, Trustee Stokbrand moved that the board go into closed session to deliberate or negotiate the purchase of public property related to a prospective public-works facility. Trustee Ersink seconded the motion. The board cited the statutory exemption for deliberations on property acquisition under Wis. Stat. §19.85(1)(e) and took a roll-call vote; every trustee recorded an affirmative vote and the board entered closed session at 7:48 p.m.

On the record, the roll call recorded votes as follows: Trustee Warren (Aye), Trustee Kudo (Yes), President Anne McCaig (Aye), Trustee Arndurfer (Aye), Trustee Ersink (Yes), Trustee Stokbrand (Aye), Trustee McGovern (Aye). The board gave no further details in open session about the prospective property, consistent with the reason for invoking the closed-session exemption.

Next steps noted on the public record: the CDA review of the Phase 2 application on Feb. 25 and an anticipated recommendation to the village board around March 16. No additional public scheduling or procurement decisions were made in open session before the board recessed into closed session.
