Commission cites Wisconsin statute and moves into closed session to discuss prospects
Summary
Commissioners voted to enter closed session under Wisconsin statute 19.851 subsection e to discuss market-competition-sensitive commercial and manufacturing prospects; the motion passed by voice vote and the commission said it would return to open session to act if needed.
A commissioner moved and the commission voted to enter closed session to discuss current commercial and industrial prospects for market-competition reasons. A speaker read the statutory basis aloud: "The Economic Development Commission may enter closed session pursuant to Wisconsin statute 19.851 subsection e for market competition reasons to deliver and consider potential commercial industrial manufacturing developments and governmental actions in relation thereto," citing the authority for confidentiality.
Members agreed the closed session was needed to protect competitive information about prospective projects; the commission planned to reenter open session afterward to act on any matters it deemed appropriate. No details about specific prospects were disclosed in the public transcript.
