Summary

Council voted to hold a closed session under Wisconsin statutes to discuss bargaining strategy for properties at 101 Commerce St. and 201 Pearl Ave. (City Center) and to consider the city manager’s end-of-year performance data.

At the end of its Dec. 9 meeting the Oshkosh City Common Council moved to convene in closed session to discuss two topics: competitive bargaining strategy related to the potential development and/or acquisition of properties at 101 Commerce Street and 201 Pearl Avenue (referred to in the meeting as the City Center) and the city manager’s end-of-year review including employment and performance data.

The deputy mayor read statutory grounds for closing the session, citing competitive bargaining and public-employee evaluation provisions in the Wisconsin statutes as written into the meeting record. The motion was seconded and the clerk took a roll call for the closed session motion; the meeting record shows the motion carried and the council proceeded to close session. The meeting adjourned after the closed-session vote.

What happens next: Closed-session matters and any subsequent actions will be addressed outside the public record as allowed by state law; no public votes on these topics were conducted in open session at this meeting.
