At its meeting, the Long Branch City Council voted to close the public portion of the meeting and enter a closed (executive) session under Resolution R-298-24 to discuss attorney-client privileged matters and an administrator update concerning Administrator Shirley.

An unidentified meeting speaker asked for a motion "to close the public portion of this meeting." A member moved, another seconded, and the chair asked for a voice vote; the transcript records members responding "Aye." The speaker then introduced "Resolution R-298-24," which the council moved and seconded and approved by voice; no opposition is recorded in the transcript.

The resolution as stated in the meeting was described as authorizing the council to go into a second session "to discuss the following: attorney-client privilege, administrator's update, administrator Shirley." The council took the procedural steps required on the record—motion, second, and voice vote—before moving into the closed session.

The transcript does not record individual member votes or identify who moved or seconded either motion. The meeting included a roll call listing the names "Mister Dangler," "Mister Rassus," "Missus Willis," "Doctor Voth," and "Missus Rivera," each followed in the record by an affirmative response when roll call was taken; the transcript does not link those roll-call responses to the recorded voice votes.

Following the vote, brief acknowledgments were made and the council proceeded to the closed session as authorized by the resolution. The transcript ends after the motion and vote; it does not record the content of the closed session or any subsequent public actions.

The meeting record indicates compliance with open meetings notice requirements—the unidentified speaker certified the meeting had been published and posted as required by law—before taking the vote to enter the closed session.
