Board votes to enter closed session to discuss personnel and appointments

The Morris County Board of County Commissioners voted in open session to enter an executive (closed) session to discuss personnel matters, including appointments to various boards and commissions.

The chair read the closed-session resolution, which described the matter as personnel issues and appointments to boards and commissions and noted confidentiality requirements while matters are pending. A motion to adopt the resolution was moved (recorded in the transcript as Speaker 11) and seconded (recorded as Speaker 1). The board voted in favor; the chair then stated the meeting would move to closed session.

The transcript’s recorded text of the resolution contains garbled phrases and nonstandard wording; for reporting clarity this account paraphrases the purpose: the board elected to meet in executive session for discussion of personnel and appointments that require confidentiality until such time as disclosure is appropriate. No formal personnel appointments or votes on appointments were recorded in the open transcript excerpt provided.
