Description

This is a review of a court of appeals decision which reversed the judgment of the trial court, Patrick J. Madden, Circuit Judge for Milwaukee county, dismissing plaintiffs action for declaratory judgment. State of Wisconsin ex rel. Journal/Sentinel, Inc., v. Pleva, 151 Wis. 2d 608, 445 N.W.2d 689 (Ct. App. 1989). The issue presented is whether the public may bring an action to enforce a provision in a lease between the City of Milwaukee and Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. (Festival), a private nonprofit corporation charged with organizing public festivals such as Summerfest, which requires all Festival meetings to be held in compliance with the Open Meetings Law. We affirm the decision of the court of appeals and hold as a matter of law -- dictated by the clearly stated public policies of freedom of contract and the right of the public to have access to public meetings -- that, under the facts of this case, the public has standing to bring an action for enforcement of the Open Meetings provision in the lease between the City of Milwaukee and Festival, the private sponsor of Summerfest.
