Summary
The board authorized Administrator Ryan VanDeWalle to continue talks with the Spychallas on a possible property transfer tied to a pond workaround and later met in closed session on property-purchase negotiations before authorizing the administrator to move forward with closed-session items.
The Village Board authorized Administrator Ryan VanDeWalle to continue discussions with the Spychallas about a potential property transfer tied to a pond workaround and to report back to the board on past and future cost implications before any discontinuance process.
VanDeWalle and Public Works Administrator Timothy Vergara told the board that Mr. Spychalla submitted a proposed drawing offering a workaround related to a pond issue previously discussed on Aug. 28, 2023. The board approved a motion (Zemke/Schremp) directing VanDeWalle to proceed with discussions and to present findings to the Village Board before any discontinuance process begins; the motion carried 7:0.
Later in the meeting the board adjourned to closed session at 8:01 p.m. under Wisconsin Statutes §19.85(1)(e) for deliberations or negotiations involving purchase of public properties. The board reconvened into open session at 8:47 p.m., and by motion (Zemke/Stroik) authorized the administrator to move forward with items discussed in closed session related to the purchase of property; that authorization carried 7:0. The meeting adjourned at 8:49 p.m.
The minutes do not provide further details of the closed-session deliberations; they record only the statutory authority cited for the closed session, the roll-call vote to enter closed session, the reconvening and the authorization to proceed.
