Princeton City Council member Steven Deffibaugh's resignation from the Place 5 seat is on the council's agenda for Monday, Oct. 26.
The item asks the council to "consider the resignation of Councilmember Steven Deffibaugh, Place 5, and take appropriate action." No letter or other supporting document was posted with it, and the agenda does not give a reason or an effective date. It is the first item under the regular agenda.
The same agenda shows the council meeting privately twice that evening, before the 6:30 p.m. regular meeting and again during it, to consult its attorney about the city manager recruitment process and to discuss the city manager position under the personnel exception to the open meetings law.
Judge appointment and staff recognition
Council members will also be asked to appoint a municipal court judge and approve the judge's agreement and a resolution. Court Supervisor Tiesha Wady is listed to present the item; the posted agenda does not name a candidate or attach the agreement.
Another item would create a formal way for the council to recognize city employees and departments. Council member Jaisen Rutledge requested the program, according to a memo from Fallan Carrillo, the city's director of employee experience. Council members would submit praise through the city's existing online Kudos form or by email.
