The Town of Middletown Council recessed its open meeting and moved into executive session to discuss collective bargaining matters, including a custodial contract associated with Council 94 and negotiations involving the Neary Library.

Council President Paul M. Roderick was recorded as present during roll call, which concluded with the clerk noting that the body had a quorum. Early in the meeting the presiding official read the executive-session notice aloud and cited statutory references as they appeared in the transcript: "sections 42 46 2, 42 46 4, and 42 46 5 a," and said nonparticipants should step out before the private session.

Following that reading, a staff member identified in the transcript as Wendy moved "Motion recess, open session, reconvene in executive session." The presiding official then asked, "All in favor?" and a voice response of "Aye" was recorded, after which the council recessed. The transcript records only a voice approval; no roll-call vote or individual vote tallies appear in the available excerpt.

The transcript lists the items cited for the executive session as collective bargaining: the Council 94 custodial contract and collective bargaining matters involving the Neary Library. The motion and vote in the public record were procedural steps to allow the council to continue those discussions in private as permitted by the statutory citations read aloud.

No substantive details of the collective bargaining discussions or any outcomes beyond the decision to convene in executive session are available in the provided transcript excerpt. The meeting record available here ends with the voice vote approving the recess into executive session.
