Summary

After a closed-session discussion under Wis. Stat. 19.85, the council reconvened and voted to deny a set of claims, including Tessner, Edmonds, National Subro/Chubb, Summers, Moore, Dalsing and Houston.

The council moved into closed session under Wisconsin Statutes §19.85(g) to consult with legal counsel about strategy related to pending claims. After reconvening in open session, the council made and carried motions to deny claims for each listed claimant — Tessner, Anne Edmonds, National Subro/Chubb Insurance, Kathleen Summers, Eric Moore, Brian Dalsing and Tyler Houston — with each denial carried by affirmative vote.

Council followed the required roll-call procedure for closed session and then recorded motions in open session to deny the claims. Two residents, Brian Dalsing and Tyler Houston, had presented public comment earlier about property damage and water-leak issues; the council nonetheless voted to deny the claims at the meeting’s conclusion.
