Princeton's City Council has a crowded week ahead after its Nov. 9 meetings were canceled for lack of a quorum, and the city calendar now lists a special council session for the Monday before Thanksgiving.
The calendar shows a special council work session at 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 23, followed by a special meeting at 6:30 p.m. at the Princeton Municipal Center, 2000 E. Princeton Drive. No agenda for it had been posted as of Wednesday evening.
When the Nov. 9 work session and regular meeting were called off, the city said both would be rescheduled and a new agenda posted once a date was chosen.
Tuesday, Nov. 17
Three council events are set for Tuesday:
- 10 a.m.: A special meeting to adopt an ordinance canvassing the returns of the Nov. 3 general election and declaring the official results.
- 5 p.m.: A swearing-in ceremony.
- 6 p.m.: A special meeting that opens with recognition of outgoing council members for their service.
The 6 p.m. agenda, posted Nov. 10, then moves into executive session. Council members are scheduled to consult the city attorney about three pending lawsuits against the city, which the agenda lists by name.
They are also set to discuss personnel matters, including recruitment, for a long list of top positions: city manager, assistant city manager, chief financial officer, assistant finance director, building official, fire chief, director of IT infrastructure services, assistant public works director, city engineer, city attorney and chief executive of the city's economic and community development corporations.
The agenda does not say whether any of those jobs is open. Any action would have to be taken in open session after the closed-door discussion.
