Council discusses non‑binding inquiry on Maywood School property; staff may inspect buildings
Summary
Council members said the school board asked the city to issue a non‑binding letter of intent to negotiate over the Maywood School property. The matter was described as exploratory; no commitment was made and staff recommended a physical evaluation of the buildings before any binding action.
Council discussion on July 20 included a summary that the school board had contacted the city to request a non‑binding letter of intent if the city is interested in pursuing negotiations for the Maywood School property. A councilmember described the request as preliminary and emphasized that any negotiation would be non‑binding and would require separate council action to proceed.
Staff recommended that if the council wishes to proceed with evaluating interest, the next step is to obtain a physical evaluation of the buildings to inform negotiations. The council did not take binding action; the topic will return to a future meeting if the council chooses to advance the matter.
The exchange took place in open session following a closed‑session discussion that had been held under Wisconsin Statute §19.85(1)(e) for bargaining reasons related to multiple items including the Maywood School property. No purchase or binding commitment was made during the July 20 meeting.
