Red Bank Zoning Board moves into executive session to discuss Outfront Media litigation
Summary
At its Nov. 4 meeting the Red Bank Zoning Board of Adjustment voted to enter executive session to discuss litigation, including a case involving Outfront Media; the board also approved prior meeting minutes and noted logistical cutoffs and a deliberation break.
The Red Bank Zoning Board of Adjustment voted at its Nov. 4 meeting to enter an executive session to discuss litigation matters, including a matter identified in the transcript as involving Outfront Media, the presiding official said. Board members then moved to adjourn after handling routine minutes.
Board business began at 6:30 p.m. with roll call recording several absences and approval of regular and executive-session minutes from Nov. 20. The presiding official told attendees that the meeting was being tape-recorded and that copies of the transcript would be available to the board; the body said it would break about 8:00 p.m. for deliberation of testimony and that no new cases would be heard after 9:00 p.m., consistent with the board’s stated 9:30 p.m. cutoff policy.
“The board requires a copy of the transcript. We will break it about 8:00 p.m. for deliberation of testimony heard thus far,” the presiding official said. The board then approved the minutes after motions and a voice vote.
A motion was made and seconded to go into executive session “for the purpose of discussing litigation matters, including the Outfront Media litigation,” the presiding official said, adding that the minutes of the executive session would be kept confidential until the board determined confidentiality was no longer needed. Members answered “I” when asked for a vote in favor and the motion passed.
After the executive-session motion, a member moved to adjourn; the motion was seconded and members voiced assent. The meeting concluded shortly thereafter.
The public was informed that discussion between board members and the public would not be permitted during the deliberation break and that any applicant not heard that evening would be carried to the board’s next scheduled meeting. The transcript records the meeting logistics and motions but does not provide a public record of the executive-session deliberations, which the board said would remain confidential until further notice.
