Board to discuss sale of district parcel for Lake Country Trail connection in closed session
Summary
Administration briefed the board on a proposed sale/easement of district property (Parcel 26) to the City of Pewaukee to complete a Lake Country Trail connection to Pirate Pass; the board moved to enter closed session to discuss negotiation parameters and sale price under Wisconsin Statutes §19.85(1)(e).
Administration described a proposed conveyance of a narrow strip of district land (Parcel 26 adjacent to Prospect Avenue) needed to complete a planned Lake Country Trail connection into downtown Pewaukee and the district’s Pirate Pass terminus. Staff said the City of Pewaukee is sponsoring the trail and has hired a third party to acquire property along the route; the district received an appraisal and will discuss negotiation parameters and price in closed session.
Board members asked why negotiation is being held privately when a public entity is the buyer; administration said negotiation and determining a sale price fall under the closed-session authority cited in state law. The board voted to go into closed session under Wisconsin Statutes §19.85(1)(c)/(e) to discuss negotiation strategy and potential counterproposals for Parcel 26, with a roll-call vote recorded.
