Summary
The Lebanon Township Committee on April 9, 2025, adopted Resolution No. 64-2025 authorizing an executive session under N.J.S.A. 40:4-12 to discuss personnel matters, specifically a police department interview and health insurance; the session ran from 6:18 p.m. to 7:05 p.m., according to the minutes.
Mayor Brian Wunder called the special meeting of the Township Committee of the Township of Lebanon to order at 6:15 p.m. on April 9, 2025, and said the session was held "in compliance with the Open Public Meeting Act," the minutes state.
The committee adopted Resolution No. 64-2025 authorizing an executive session under N.J.S.A. 40:4-12 to permit closed discussion of specified topics, including matters "involving the employment, appointment, termination of employment, terms and conditions of employment, evaluation of the performance, promotion or disciplining" of public employees. The resolution text recorded in the minutes lists "Police Department Interview, Health Insurance" as the general nature of the discussions to be withheld from public disclosure while privacy rights exist.
On a motion to adopt the resolution by Committee Member Beverly Koehler, seconded by Committee Member Abe Abuchowski, the minutes record ayes from Abe Abuchowski, Beverly Koehler, Jay Wojcik and Mayor Brian Wunder. The committee entered executive session at 6:18 p.m., according to the minutes; the closed session ended at 7:05 p.m.
The committee reconvened in public session after the executive session on a motion by Koehler seconded by Abuchowski, with the minutes again recording the four listed members voting in the affirmative. With no further business, Committee Member Jay Wojcik moved to adjourn, Ms. Koehler seconded, and the minutes state the meeting adjourned at 7:05 p.m. The adjournment vote list of ayes includes an additional name, Mr. McKee, who is not listed on the meeting roll call earlier in the minutes.
Attendance recorded in the minutes lists Committee Members Abe Abuchowski, Beverly Koehler, Brian Wunder and Jay Wojcik, Township Clerk Carolynn Budd and one member of the public. The minutes do not disclose any substantive details of the executive-session discussion; no public comments were made during the public-comment period.
The resolution and minutes cite the Open Public Meetings Act (N.J.S.A. 10:4-6 et seq.) and the executive-session statute (N.J.S.A. 40:4-12) as the legal bases for the closed meeting. The minutes do not indicate additional scheduled follow-up or public actions stemming from the closed discussion.
