Council moves to executive session to discuss redevelopment update under attorney-client privilege
Summary
After adopting the resolution, the Borough Highlands Bay Council voted to enter an executive session citing attorney-client privilege to discuss a "shadow loan redevelopment update," and said no formal action would be taken during the closed session.
Following a brief public portion (during which no members of the public were present), the Borough Highlands Bay Council voted to enter an executive session to discuss matters the council described as an "acting client privilege shadow loan redevelopment update." The resolution adopting the executive session cited the attorney-client exception to the Open Public Meetings Act (recorded in the meeting as N.J.S.A. 10:4-13).
Council stated the executive session would follow the special council meeting and that no formal action would be taken during the closed session; the council also said matters discussed in private might be disclosed later if privacy is no longer required. The transcript records the council adopting the executive-session resolution and noting the session would begin at 7:08 p.m. and that the meeting later adjourned at 7:49 p.m.
Why it matters: Executive sessions are permitted under state law for specific exceptions such as attorney-client privileged matters. Because the council designated the discussion as covered by attorney-client privilege, the record does not include the details of the redevelopment discussion; the transcript only records the motion to move into closed session and the legal basis cited.
