Summary

Staff presented an agreement governing STI's proposed $4,500,000 donation to the Equality Center and the committee voted, by roll call, to enter closed session under Wis. Stat. §19.85(1)(e) to negotiate terms.

Staff provided a brief overview of a proposed agreement that would set rights and responsibilities for STI's donation to the Equality Center and said the draft requires negotiation before being sent to STI for their review. Staff summarized the proposed figure: "requiring them to make a $4,500,000 donation," and recommended discussion in closed session to preserve negotiating position.

A committee member moved that the committee enter closed session to deliberate or negotiate as allowed under Wisconsin statute; the committee then conducted a roll call in which Phil, Nicole, Patrick and Tina were recorded as voting "Aye." Chair declared the committee in closed session. The committee did not conduct further public discussion of the draft agreement in open session.
