Long Branch City Council moves into executive session under Resolution R94-25
Summary
Councilmembers voted to close the public portion of the meeting and enter an executive session under Resolution R94-25 to discuss attorney–client privilege and an administrator update regarding Administrator Sherwin; the meeting transcript provided no further public details or date.
At a Long Branch City Council meeting whose date was not specified in the transcript, councilmembers voted to close the public portion and enter an executive session under Resolution R94-25 to discuss attorney–client privilege and an administrator update concerning Administrator Sherwin.
The action followed a certification that the meeting had been published in the newspaper in accordance with the Open Public Meeting Act. Speaker 1, an unnamed meeting participant, opened by stating, “I certify that this meeting has been published in the newspaper in accordance with the open public meeting act and posted as required by all.”
Speaker 2, an unnamed meeting participant, moved the item into executive session by reading a resolution aloud: “Pause. Executive session. I need a motion to adopt the following resolution. Resolution r 94 dash 25. Be resolved that city council will go into executive session to discuss the following.” Speaker 2 then listed the topics to be discussed in the closed session: “Attorney client privilege, administrator's update, administrator Sherwin.”
Speaker 1 responded, “So moved.” Speaker 2 seconded the motion and called the vote: “Second. All in favor. Aye. Opposed?” The transcript records the affirmative response and shows the meeting then moved into executive session; no roll-call names or further public discussion appear in the provided transcript.
Under the Open Public Meeting Act, councils may meet in executive session for attorney–client privileged communications and other enumerated exceptions; the transcript shows the council invoked that authority and certified public notice prior to closing the meeting. The transcript provided does not include any substantive discussion from the closed session or indicate when any related public action would occur.
The available record ends as the council went into executive session; the transcript does not specify a meeting date, the full roster of voters, or any subsequent public actions related to the executive session.
