Summary
The Long Branch City Council adopted Resolution R-214-25 and moved into executive session to discuss attorney–client privilege and an administrator update regarding Administrator Shirley. The council closed the public portion by voice vote; exact vote tallies were not specified in the transcript.
The Long Branch City Council voted to enter an executive session after adopting Resolution R-214-25 at its meeting. The presiding officer moved to close the public portion of the meeting and then asked for a motion to adopt the resolution, which the council approved by voice vote; exact tallies were not given in the record.
City staff certified that the meeting had been published in the newspaper and posted in accordance with the open public meeting act. During roll call, Mister Rassas, Mister Veer, Missus Missus Wittes, Mister Dangler and Doctor Vogt each responded "Here." The presiding officer opened the regular agenda and asked for comments; none were offered.
On the motions, the presiding officer said, "So then I need a motion to close the public portion of the meeting," and the council moved and seconded the procedural closure. After calling for a voice vote and recording "Aye" responses, the presiding officer then introduced the resolution: "It's resolution number RDash214Dash25. Be it resolved that the city council will go into executive session to discuss the following, attorney client privilege, administrator's update, administrator Shirley." The council adopted the resolution and went into executive session.
The transcript records the procedural actions and the text of the resolution as introduced; it does not record detailed debate, names of the motion mover or seconder, or a roll-call vote tally. The meeting proceeded into executive session immediately after adoption of the resolution.
The council did not provide additional public details about the topics to be discussed in executive session; by state open-meetings practice, attorney–client privileged discussions and certain personnel matters are typically held in closed session. The meeting record indicates only that the listed subjects were "attorney client privilege" and an "administrator's update" related to Administrator Shirley.
The council's next public actions, if any, and any formal outcomes from the executive session were not recorded in the provided transcript.
