Princeton's City Council will not meet Monday night after all. A notice the city secretary's office posted at 5:07 p.m. Monday canceled both the 6 p.m. work session and the 6:30 p.m. regular meeting, citing a lack of quorum.
The notice gives no other reason. It says both meetings will be rescheduled, and that the city will post a new meeting notice and agenda under the Texas Open Meetings Act once a date and time are set.
What was on the agenda
The canceled regular meeting carried four public hearings and a dozen action items, none of which can now be decided until the council reconvenes. Among them:
- A rezoning of 1.49 acres at Beauchamp Boulevard and Myrick Lane in Princeton Business Park from light industrial to the medical and office rules of Planned Development 47.
- A specific use permit for a 155-foot cell tower in the Walmart parking lot at 701 W. Princeton Drive.
- A rezoning and specific use permit for an auto repair shop on 1.14 acres at Monte Carlo Boulevard and Longneck Road.
- An ordinance from Mayor Eugene Escobar Jr. dedicating a city-owned lot in Whitewing Trails for a future public library.
- Budget changes to add a capital improvement program manager and to fund an assistant development director post.
- A new policy setting how nonprofits apply for city support.
- Seven plats, including a conveyance plat for 8.8 acres at Forest Grove South and West Princeton Drive and a final plat for the second phase of KB Home's Princeton Estates.
The work session was set to cover a draft request for proposals for an organizational efficiency and staffing study, and both sessions listed closed-door discussion of three lawsuits against the city and of recruitment for a list of senior posts, among them city manager, fire chief and city attorney. A recognition of outgoing council members was also planned.
