Lebanon Township Committee votes to enter executive session on personnel after no public commenters

The Lebanon Township Committee voted Wednesday to adopt Resolution 180-2025 authorizing an executive session to discuss personnel matters after a brief public comment period produced no speakers.

The meeting began at 6:30 p.m. with the committee noting compliance with the Open Public Meetings Act and that meeting notice had been published in the Hunter Review and posted on the township bulletin board and website. After a call to the flag and a moment of silence for first responders and military "including ICE," the Clerk conducted roll call; members listed as present included Abakowski, Kohler, Wunder, Wojcick and McKee.

The Chair asked for a motion to open public comment "limited to minutes only." The Clerk moved to open public comment and the Chair seconded; the motion was approved and the committee noted that no members of the public were present to speak. Seeing no audience, the Chair then moved to close public comment; the Clerk seconded and the committee recorded affirmative votes to close the period.

Following the public comment items, the Chair said, "I need a motion for authorizing resolution number 180-2025, under personnel." The Clerk moved to adopt Resolution 180-2025 to authorize an executive session for personnel matters; the motion received affirmative votes and the committee prepared to close the doors for the executive session.

The transcript records the procedural motions and the adoption of Resolution 180-2025 but does not provide a roll-call tally by named member for each vote in the transcript text. The committee moved into executive session at the conclusion of the recorded proceedings.

The committee did not take further public action in the portion of the meeting recorded in the transcript.
