At the conclusion of the Sept. 24 public work session, the Morris County Board of Commissioners voted to enter closed session to discuss personnel matters and appointments to the County College of Morris board of trustees.

The clerk read a resolution citing the Open Public Meetings Act and the board then approved a motion and second to exclude the public for the stated personnel discussion. A voice vote followed, with commissioners answering "Aye" and the motion passing, after which the public portion of the meeting adjourned and the board moved into closed session.

The transcript excerpt shows the board invoked the statutory authority to exclude the public for personnel deliberations and that the board's resolution stated such discussions would be made public when confidentiality was no longer necessary. The excerpt does not disclose the content of the closed-session discussion or any appointment decisions.
