Paterson board approves a package of workshop resolutions; O‑20 pulled for MOU drafting
Summary
The board voted to approve the resolutions listed for the regular meeting (items 1, 3 and 4 recorded in favor; item 2 had a recorded dissent) and agreed to pull agenda item O‑20 to draft an MOU with the city on emergency operations sites and insurance requirements.
At the workshop meeting the board moved to approve a set of resolutions for the upcoming regular meeting. The roll call recorded approval for the listed packet with the meeting record showing approval on most items and a dissent recorded on item 2; the clerk announced the tallies during roll call. Commissioners asked for clarifying information on fiscal and contractual items and staff provided additional context.
Separately, the board discussed an emergency operations plan item (O‑20). Commissioners recommended developing a separate memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the city to clarify insurance, accessibility requirements, and designated evacuation sites. The board agreed to pull O‑20 from the consent listing to return with an MOU draft and more detail for consideration.
General counsel clarified the property‑sale process for a later agenda item, explaining that the administration would list property for sale only after board authorization and that final sale approvals would return to the board for decision.
