Summary

The council moved and approved resolutions numbered 26-56 through 26-67 and authorized payment of bills totaling $1,733,251, and scheduled an executive session under Resolution 26-68 for contractual and personnel matters.

The South Plainfield Borough Council approved a package of routine resolutions (Nos. 26-56 through 26-67) during its meeting and authorized payment of bills in the amount of $1,733,251, according to the clerk’s roll call. The resolutions and payment were moved and seconded and passed by roll call; the transcript records affirmative responses on the roll.

A motion to enter executive session under Resolution 26-68 — described in the record as addressing one contractual matter and two personnel items — was also moved and seconded. The council indicated the executive session would be held for those matters and the public meeting recessed for that purpose.

Why it matters: Routine resolutions and bill payments are part of borough governance and budgetary oversight; the executive session identifies matters of contract and personnel that will be handled outside the public portion of the meeting.

Details: The clerk read the items for correspondence (the board of health monthly report for December) and the bills to be paid; Council President (as recorded) moved payment and Councilman White seconded. The executive-session motion was moved by Councilman Benjang and seconded as shown in the record.
