Unidentified Speaker, presiding at the Long Branch City Council meeting, asked for a motion to close the public portion of the meeting and the motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. The presiding official then introduced Resolution R-245-25, which the council adopted to move into an executive session to discuss attorney–client privilege and an administrator update (the administrator was identified in the transcript as 'Shirley').
The council began with roll call, where the presiding official recorded that Mister Rassas, Mister Viera, Missus Wittas and Doctor Vogt were present and that Mister Dangler was absent. The presiding official also certified that the meeting had been published in the newspaper in accordance with the open public meeting act and thanked Amanda for posting.
Midway through the meeting the presiding official stated, “I need a motion to close the public portion of the meeting.” A member moved, another seconded, and members responded with affirmative voice votes. The transcript records the motion, the second and multiple “Aye” responses but does not attach names to each vote or supply a numeric tally.
Shortly afterward the presiding official read the text introducing Resolution R-245-25 and said it would send the council into an executive session to discuss attorney–client privilege and an administrator update. The resolution was moved, seconded and again approved by voice vote; the transcript records the motion, second and approval but does not provide a roll-call vote or a specific tally.
No substantive public debate, ordinance consideration, budget action or public comment appears in the recorded segments provided. The public portion was closed and the council moved into executive session as authorized by the adopted resolution.
