Board convenes in closed session to discuss potential development and a real estate purchase
Summary
Trustees entered closed session under Wis. Stats. §19.85(1)(e) to deliberate potential development proposals and a real estate purchase; the meeting later adjourned while in closed session. No substantive details of the matters were disclosed in the public minutes.
At 6:58 p.m. Trustee Ann Price moved and Trustee Chuck Hornung seconded that the board convene in closed session under Wisconsin Statutes Section 19.85(1)(e) to deliberate or negotiate the purchasing of public properties and the investing of public funds, where competitive or bargaining reasons require a closed session. The roll call vote was unanimous (Duffy, Hornung, Streetar, Price, Will: yes).
The items listed for closed session were (a) consideration and initial discussions of potential development and (b) consideration of a real estate purchase. The board then adjourned in closed session at 7:32 p.m. on a motion by Chuck Hornung, seconded by John Duffy (5 ayes). The public minutes do not disclose discussion content or outcomes from the closed session.
Why it matters: The board used the statutory closed-session exception for bargaining and competitive reasons. Because the minutes record only the statutory basis and the topics at a high level, the public record does not show details of proposals, negotiation positions, prices, or parties discussed.
Next steps: Any public action arising from closed-session deliberations would be recorded in subsequent open-session minutes; the transcript does not report further outcomes.
