Long Branch City council adopts resolution to enter executive session over attorney–client privilege
Summary
The Long Branch City Council adopted Resolution R-51-26 and voted to go into executive session to discuss attorney–client privilege and an administrator update involving Administrator Shirley; the action followed roll call and a certification that the meeting had been published as required by law.
At a regular meeting, the Long Branch City Council adopted Resolution R-51-26 and voted to enter an executive session to discuss attorney–client privilege and an administrator update concerning Administrator Shirley.
The chair opened the meeting, conducted roll call and stated, “I hereby certify that this meeting has been published in the newspaper in accordance with the open public meeting act and posted as required by law.” The transcript records the following members present during roll call: Mister Rasmus; Mister Viera; Missus Wittes; Mister Gangler; and Doctor Boat.
The council first approved a motion to close the public portion of the meeting after a motion, a second and a voice vote in which ayes were recorded and no opposition was stated. Later, the chair sought a motion to adopt the resolution, announcing “Resolution number RDash51Dash26” and stating the purpose as an executive session to discuss attorney–client privilege and an administrator update involving Administrator Shirley. The transcript records a motion, a second and a voice vote in favor with no opposition recorded.
Neither the transcript nor the roll call identifies who moved or seconded either motion by name; the motions are recorded in the minutes as made and seconded. The transcript shows a voice vote; no recorded no-votes or abstentions appear in the public record. The council then moved into the executive session.
No substantive discussion of the matters to be taken up in executive session appears in the public transcript, and the public portion of the meeting closed at the chair's announcement that the body was going into executive session.
