Board votes to enter closed session under Wisconsin statute to discuss negotiations over 301 Main Street; no action reported
Summary
The village board voted to enter a closed session under Wisconsin Statutes 19.85(1)(e) to deliberate negotiations concerning 301 Main Street; the roll-call record in the transcript shows affirmative votes for several members. The board later reported no action resulted from the closed session.
During the April 1 special meeting the board voted to move into a closed session under Wisconsin Statutes 19.85, 1 e, to deliberate or negotiate the purchase of public properties and for bargaining reasons related to negotiations concerning 301 Main Street.
A committee member moved to close the open session and open the closed session; another member seconded. The clerk proceeded with a roll call vote. The transcript records affirmative votes associated with the names Grills; Carlin Johnson; Ken Johnson; Meiners; Porter; Reeves; and an entry recorded in the roll call as 'President Wenchiukwu.' The motion to enter closed session carried.
The minutes later state the board returned to open session (the record includes a note: 'We are at open session at 7PM') and that there was no action taken regarding items discussed in closed session. The chair then called for any further items and adjourned the special meeting. The transcript records an adjournment time of 06:30, which conflicts with the 7PM reconvening note recorded in the same meeting record.
The meeting record does not include substantive public discussion of the underlying 301 Main Street negotiations, and the transcript does not record any final decisions or directions resulting from the closed session.
