The Village of Black Earth Board voted on June 2 to enter a closed session under Wisconsin Statute §19.85(1)(e) to deliberate or negotiate the purchase of public property identified on the agenda (Parcel # 107/0806-264-8585-2). The motion to enter closed session was made by Jen Schuetz and seconded by Nathan Cavanagh; a roll call was taken that included President Terry Moyer and the six trustees present as recorded in the minutes and Public Works Director Matt Kahl was noted on the roll call.
The board rose from closed session at 7:17 p.m. on a motion by Jen Schuetz, seconded by Dylan Helmenstine. The minutes state the board took no action on items discussed in closed session.
Why it matters: The board followed the statutory process for discussing sensitive real estate negotiations in closed session; the public record shows only that the matter was deliberated and that no formal action was taken at this meeting. Any further developments would appear in future meeting agendas and minutes.
