Although a closed session was listed on the agenda under Section 19.85(1)(g) and 19.85(1)(e), the Board determined that a closed session was not needed and did not convene in closed session. Item #8 Consult with Attorney on Moratorium for Approving Data Centers in the Town of Westport, was deferred until the next Town Board meeting when legal counsel is able to attend, on a motion by Manering, second Werner. Regular operator licenses, as on file with the Clerk as presented, were granted subject to all state and local requirements on a motion by Werner, second Manering. Grosskopf reported that there is nothing requiring action for the Plan Commission meeting in March, and it likely will be cancelled. The Joint Plan Commission is expected to act relative to the One Solar proposal at its February 23, 2026, meeting. The Middleton/Westport Joint Zoning Commission will meet on February 24th regarding the Community of Bishops Bay Phase 8.

Cuccia reported that the Audit Committee reviewed the current bills and found all to be in order. Current bills were paid as presented by Grosskopf and recommended by the Audit Committee, on a motion by Cuccia, second Crowell. For Administrative Matters, Grosskopf introduced the concept of joining with Waunakee and perhaps others to draft a joint resolution asking Dane County to study the County Highways Q and K Intersection in an effort to find ways to increase the intersection’s safety. The Board encouraged Grosskopf to explore the options. The meeting was adjourned at 6:36 pm, on a motion by Werner, second Manering. Dean A. Grosskopf Administrator/Clerk-Treasurer
