Council conducts roll call and records procedural motions; outcomes unclear in transcript
Summary
The meeting opened with a compliance notice and roll call. Council members moved to open the meeting for non-agenda public items and later moved to close; the transcript records motions, seconds and a few verbal 'ayes' and 'nos' but does not contain a clear, complete vote tally for each motion.
The meeting began with the Chair reading the Open Public Meetings Act compliance notice and logistical items: notices were sent to official newspapers and posted at Borough Hall, meetings are videotaped and fire exits were identified.
The record shows multiple procedural motions: the Chair proposed opening the meeting for non-agenda public items and the council recorded motions to close at different points. When the first motion was taken, a council member said "Aye." Later exchanges show a 'No' and another 'Yes' on similarly worded motions. The transcript presents overlapping motion lines and does not clearly record a single complete roll-call tally for each motion; the precise outcomes of the motions are not fully documented in the recorded segments.
Attendance was established through roll call with council members answering 'Here.' The meeting proceeded to reports and council business after these procedural items.
