The Village of Rothschild Board met in closed session at 7:33 p.m. on July 28 under Wis. Stat. §19.85(1)(e) to deliberate or negotiate the purchase and sale of public property. The roll call vote to enter closed session was unanimous. The board reconvened at 8:05 p.m. and then unanimously authorized the administrator to proceed with items discussed during the closed session.
The minutes record the statutory basis for closing the session and the unanimous roll call; they do not record details of negotiation positions or identify property specifics. The board then adjourned at 8:06 p.m.
Why it matters: The closed session pertains to negotiations involving public property. The minutes record that the board provided direction to the administrator but do not disclose the contents of the closed session, consistent with the statutory exemption for competitive or bargaining reasons.
