Council approves resolution to enter private executive session on litigation and contracts
Summary
The council adopted Resolution 2026-44 authorizing a recess into a private executive session to discuss pending litigation and contract negotiations under the Open Public Meetings Act; the resolution passed by roll call with five 'Yes' votes.
The council approved Resolution 2026-44 to recess into a private executive session to discuss pending litigation and contract negotiations, citing the Open Public Meetings Act and specifying that closed-session minutes remain confidential until the borough attorney releases them.
The clerk read the resolution’s text describing the scope of the closed session. A motion to adopt the resolution was made and seconded; the clerk then called the roll. Councilman Donnehan, Councilwoman Kinney, Councilman De Blasio, Councilman Veroni and Mayor Bucklefusco were recorded as voting “Yes,” and the resolution passed by voice roll call.
The resolution states that the Open Public Meetings Act permits the exclusion of the public for the specified matters and directs that minutes of the closed session be taken and withheld from public view until confidentiality is no longer required, as determined by the borough attorney. The council recessed into executive session and, when the public meeting resumed, moved immediately to adjourn.
The record in the public session contains no further detail about the subjects to be discussed in closed session beyond the categories listed in the resolution (pending litigation, contract negotiations and confidentiality). No substantive votes on those matters were taken in public session.
