Commissioner asks county administrator for written report explaining courthouse opening delay
Summary
Commissioner William O'Dea asked Assistant County Administrator Abe Antun for a written report on why the county courthouse has not opened, citing outreach from the Guarini family and noting the issue appears tied to State court sign-off; Antun agreed to provide the report.
During the Jan. 2 Hudson County Board reorganization meeting, Commissioner William O'Dea asked Assistant County Administrator Abraham Antun to provide a written explanation of when the county courthouse will open and the reasons for the delay.
O'Dea said members of the Guarini family had contacted him and were concerned that, despite appearances, the courthouse remained closed. He requested a written report that could be shared with the family and the public, saying he had told them that the delay "has to do with the stuff with the State courts and the State sign-off." Assistant County Administrator Antun responded, "Sure," and agreed to provide the requested document.
The request was recorded as part of the meeting minutes and represents a direction to county administration to summarize the status and next steps for reopening the courthouse. No formal vote or deadline was included in the transcript beyond Antun's agreement to prepare the written report.
The clerk then moved to adjourn the meeting; the session concluded at 4:38 p.m.
