Seymour council approves developer agreements with Modern Built and Seymour Development Group
Summary
After a brief closed-session discussion under Wisconsin Statutes §19.85(1)(e), the Seymour City Council on April 14, 2025 approved developer agreements with Modern Built and Seymour Development Group, LLC; the meeting record does not disclose financial terms or vote tallies.
The Seymour City Council on April 14, 2025 voted to approve developer agreements with Modern Built and Seymour Development Group, LLC after briefly convening in closed session under Wisconsin Statutes §19.85(1)(e).
The action followed routine business including approval of the agenda and the March 24, 2025 minutes. Alderperson VanderHeiden moved to approve the agenda (seconded by Alderperson Krull) and later moved to approve the minutes (seconded by Alderperson Schaumberg); both motions were recorded as carried. Alderperson Tetzlaff moved approval of Resolution No. RE 2025-129 (Payment of Bills), seconded by Alderperson Gerbers; that motion also carried.
Alderperson Gerbers then moved (seconded by Alderperson Tetzlaff) that the council go into closed session pursuant to WI SS 19.85(1)(e) to "deliberate or negotiate the purchase of public property, investment of public funds, or conducting other specified public business when competitive or bargaining reasons require a closed session," specifically to discuss the Modern Built development agreement and the Seymour Development Group, LLC development agreement. The council reconvened in open session after the closed discussion; the transcript records the reconvening motion by Alderperson Tetzlaff (seconded by Gerbers) as carried.
After returning to open session, the council approved Resolution No. RE 2025-130 to accept the Modern Built developer agreement on a motion by Alderperson VanderHeiden, seconded by Alderperson Schaumberg; the motion carried. The council then approved Resolution No. RE 2025-131 to accept the Seymour Development Group, LLC developer agreement on a motion by Alderperson Gerbers, seconded by Alderperson Hurkman; that motion also carried. The transcript records each action as "motion carried" but does not record roll-call vote totals, aye/nay counts, or the financial terms, obligations, or implementation timelines for either agreement.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn by Alderperson Tetzlaff, seconded by Alderperson Gerbers, which carried. Clerk-Treasurer Christy Stover is listed on the meeting record as the recorder. The transcript does not include public-comment discussion of the agreements, details of the contracts, or next procedural steps such as a signing date or implementation schedule.
What the council approved is recorded by resolution numbers (RE 2025-130 and RE 2025-131); the underlying agreements' terms were not disclosed in the public transcript and are therefore not reported here.
