Allendale council moves to closed session to discuss DCA fair-share housing calculations and litigation
Summary
Council voted Jan. 23 to enter closed session under Resolution 25-70 to discuss prospective affordable-housing litigation and the borough’s 'fair share' numbers from the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs; the planner will review fourth-round calculations in closed session and the council returned to adopt Resolution 25-71 before adjourning.
The Allendale mayor and council voted to enter closed session at the Jan. 23 meeting to discuss prospective affordable-housing litigation and municipal fair-share obligations.
Mayor Amy Wolinski and staff said the borough’s planner (Ed) has been working with a team to calculate the town's fourth-round fair-share housing numbers after receiving materials from the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs. Because the discussion concerns prospective litigation and sensitive planning calculations, the council approved Resolution 25-70 to meet in closed session with the planner. The clerk recorded a roll-call vote to enter closed session.
Council later returned to open session and the record shows the council adopted Resolution 25-71 (the transcript records adoption but does not provide the resolution text). The meeting then adjourned.
The council noted a tight deadline from DCA to meet filing requirements (the transcript references a Jan. 31 deadline), which explains the timing of the closed-session review and the planner's involvement.
