On May 1 the Village of Hortonville Board of Trustees voted to go into closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85, which allows deliberation or negotiation concerning the purchasing of public properties and other specified public business when competitive or bargaining reasons require confidentiality. The motion identified a potential purchase of public property as the subject.

The board approved the motion to enter closed session by roll call. After the closed session and a brief recess to clear the room, the board reconvened in open session and the meeting minutes note that there was no action taken on matters discussed in closed session.

No further details about the property discussed or future action were provided during the public portion of the meeting.
