Summary
The Committee adjourned to closed session under Wis. Stat. § 19.85(1) for personnel discipline, property negotiations and litigation updates; the committee recorded recommendations on the city attorney contract and a sublease for Property B.
The Committee of the Whole adjourned to closed session at 6:58 p.m. on April 13 under Wisconsin Statute § 19.85(1) to discuss personnel matters, negotiations over city properties and litigation updates.
The closed session agenda included an update on Administrative Investigation 1‑2026 and a potential recommendation concerning possible discipline of a city employee that would require Common Council approval. The agenda also listed negotiations related to the sale and developer agreement for Property D, consideration of the sale or exchange of Property E, a recommendation regarding the contract for City Attorney services, sub‑lease terms for Property B, and updates on multiple litigation cases.
Minutes record that the committee made a recommendation to approve the contract for City Attorney services; the motion carried with Dean Peterson recorded as abstaining. The committee also recommended approval of sub‑lease terms for Property B; that motion carried with Richard Yarrington recorded as opposed. The minutes do not disclose details of the proposed attorney contract, sub‑lease terms, developer agreements, or the specifics of the personnel or litigation matters discussed; those items were handled in closed session in accordance with statute.
The committee returned to open session later and adjourned. The public minutes list the closed session topics and record the procedural actions to forward recommendations to the Common Council.
