Monona committee moves to closed session over Mortensen claim and West Broadway development negotiation
Summary
At its July 6 meeting the Finance and Personnel Committee voted to convene a closed session under Wis. Stat. §§ 19.85(1) and 19.851 to confer with legal counsel on a claim by Timothy and Angela Mortensen and to deliberate negotiation matters tied to WPS Drive and the West Broadway Development Agreement; roll call included 'Alder Wood' and 'Mayor Moore' voting aye.
The City of Monona Finance and Personnel Committee on July 6 voted to convene a closed session under Wisconsin Statutes section 19.85(1) (to confer with legal counsel) and section 19.851 (to deliberate or negotiate the purchase of public properties or invest public funds when bargaining reasons require closed session). The motion cited a claim by Timothy and Angela Mortensen and matters related to WPS Drive and the West Broadway Development Agreement.
The motion to go into closed session was moved by Committee member (S2) and seconded by the chair (S1). The chair called the roll and the transcript records 'Alder Wood' and 'Mayor Moore' answering 'aye' during the roll call; the committee then proceeded to closed session. After the closed-session motion there was brief procedural discussion about members’ preference to remain in the meeting.
The meeting record does not include the substance of the closed session (the committee convened into closed session and the public minutes do not detail closed deliberations). No further public action on the cited matters was recorded in the remainder of the meeting notes.
