New Providence schedules closed special session to discuss affordable housing
Summary
The Borough Council of New Providence read a resolution scheduling a closed special session with legal counsel on March 24, 2026, to discuss affordable housing; a motion to schedule the session was moved and seconded but a formal vote is not recorded in the transcript.
The Borough Council of New Providence scheduled a closed special session on affordable housing for March 24, 2026, the council recorded during its public meeting.
Clerk read the resolution aloud: "Resolution establishing 03/24/2026 as the date and 07/17 as the time, and the municipal center is the place for the holding of a special session of the mayor and council of the borough of New Providence to discuss affordable housing matters with the borough's legal counsel at which time the public will be excluded," the Clerk stated.
Chair then asked for a motion and proceeded to move the scheduling of the session; the motion was seconded. The transcript records members answering roll call after the motion (Lerner, Dolan, Jaffray, Mayor Morgan, McKnight, Gardner), but it does not record a formal recorded vote on the resolution in the supplied segments.
The resolution, as read, designates the municipal center as the meeting place and states the session will be with the borough's legal counsel and closed to the public, indicating the council intends an executive-session discussion on legal or confidential aspects of affordable housing. The meeting record also includes an earlier reference to a filing described in the transcript as "PO 1975, text of 02/31" and an "annual notice of revision" under section 13 of the act, which was presented for the record by the Chair.
The timing in the transcript is irregular: the resolution text gives the time as "07/17," a format that appears garbled or truncated in the record; the council should be consulted or the official minutes checked for the precise clock time. The transcript does not include additional debate on affordable housing in the provided segments, nor does it show whether the motion to schedule the special session was formally adopted by roll-call vote during these segments.
The council proceeded with attendance confirmations and brief technical comments about audio and camera equipment after the scheduling motion. The special session, as read into the record, is set for March 24, 2026, to address affordable housing matters with legal counsel; the public is to be excluded for that portion of the meeting.
