Ladysmith council authorizes temporary fencing at dilapidated property after closed session
Summary
Following a closed session under Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(g), the Ladysmith Common Council authorized temporary fencing around a dilapidated property at the owner’s expense. The closed session motion passed 6‑0; action was reported on return to open session.
The Ladysmith Common Council moved into closed session on July 27 under authority of Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(g) to consult with legal counsel regarding litigation strategy and to discuss a dilapidated property. The motion to enter closed session was made by Randy Lovely and seconded by Nathan Johnson; it carried by roll call vote (Kenyon-yes, Lovely-yes, Delasky-yes, Johnson-yes, Hraban-yes, Christianson-yes; 6-yes, 0-no).
After returning to open session the council took action to authorize installation of temporary fencing around the identified dilapidated property at the property owner’s expense, Mayor Grotzinger reported. The minutes do not specify the property address, the owner’s name, or the timeline for installation.
The closed session was invoked under Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(g), which the minutes cite as the legal authority for conferring with counsel on litigation strategy. The minutes record the council’s vote to enter closed session and its subsequent authorization of temporary fencing; they do not record additional public comment or a recorded roll call for the fencing authorization.
