The Upper Saddle River Mayor and Council convened an executive meeting Jan. 8 and moved into closed session to discuss litigation concerning affordable housing.
Borough Administrator Theodore Preusch called the executive meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. and read the public-notice statement under the Open Sunshine Act. The council voted to exclude the public at 6:35 p.m. to discuss "Litigation: Affordable Housing," as recorded in the minutes. The executive session concluded and the meeting resumed at 7:55 p.m.; the public minutes do not disclose additional details of the discussion.
Why it matters: Closed-session discussions on litigation typically reflect matters where public disclosure could affect legal strategy or confidentiality. The minutes record the topic (affordable-housing litigation) but do not list actions or outcomes taken in closed session.
Next steps: The minutes show no action taken in open session on this item. Any future public actions or filings related to the litigation would appear on subsequent meeting agendas or court records.
