Dave Gannon, presenting the audit for the municipality, said the firm had \"issued an unmodified opinion,\" meaning the auditors took \"no exception\" to Princeton's accounting practices and found compliance with reporting requirements. Gannon reported the current fund balance at the end of 2024 was $25,300,000, an increase of roughly $3.3 million from the prior year, and noted total net debt at the end of 2024 was $205,000,000 and remained below statutory limits.

Councilmembers thanked the finance staff for their work; Councilmember Michelle Braga asked that the audit report be provided in the meeting packet for review, and the municipal chief financial officer said she would send the report to councilmembers first thing the next day.

Christine Simonton, executive director of Sustainable Princeton, told the council the Board of Public Utilities'authorized municipal model allows a town to \"automatically enroll its low moderate income households\" and that the municipality will manage subscriber outreach with consultant Gable & Associates. Belle Gable said the successful bidder, Solar Landscape, proposed three projects in the utility territory that together could serve approximately 899 households and offered a 36% discount to the electricity supply portion of participating customers' bills; the BPU'required minimum discount is 20%.

Council members asked about how master-metered multifamily properties would receive benefits and requested clarity on how housing providers would pass savings to residents; consultants said housing authorities would sign affidavits describing how savings would be distributed and that allowable benefits include shared services, Wi-Fi or other resident-focused improvements if direct bill credits are impractical. Staff and Sustainable Princeton said they will carry out the BPU-mandated outreach schedule (90, 60 and 30 days notice) and partner with Princeton Housing Authority, Princeton Community Housing and other local organizations to sign up eligible households.","Council approved a master performance agreement to enroll up to about 899 low- and moderate-income Princeton households in community solar projects outside town; selected developer offered a 36% discount on electricity supply credits and outreach will target subsidized housing and eligible single-family households.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6183132,"Princeton Council Reviews Revised Community Park South Plan; Designers Preserve Tree Canopy, Propose Phased $25M Project",1348,1195000,2543000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5099228-9859834faa7fbdbf579e04eac3c9f057&start=1195&end=2543","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5099228-9859834faa7fbdbf579e04eac3c9f057/thumbnail_1195000.jpg","/articles/6183132/Princeton/Mercer-County/New-Jersey/Princeton-Council-Reviews-Revised-Community-Park-South-Plan-Designers-Preserve-Tree-Canopy-Propose-Phased-25M-Project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183132-88fdd3f4d920703bd82c689b9607be0e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175549&Signature=cplGpGogMO9QH1W6ZPk~7ChzISAoG89FUYBN3GMZlDxyAadB143caB4Lw0rug4IiMQ2sK8O3SYZFDYjOOjK33nTGq9MG9bfbBaLfOn5WOnXNlSWRltzzMEIKbslhM2CyjwD8Y~xHn-zMedlirBZMVdZcAorUVMy5yPM6e8a-UfHZffdiEQ9tJUKOA2jpY462ol0Uf862AHFd8kAm~FIGG9Vnd109A4QlcMEvaEqvoVFS05ksiF1-8gHdP7EDS1Zab0CADzQrEjz3E8F9m6ic4JKuasLk4XXSrIjUs9ft-T-b0KMmPCQFOUBpUF1VXA2dZ-RzCEhCTW0fPHx7W-hfKw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Consultants and Princeton recreation staff presented an updated concept plan for Community Park South on June 23 that keeps most of the site's existing tree canopy, consolidates program elements around a central pavilion and lays out a three-phase approach to a projected $25 million build-out.

The plan, led by Bowman Consulting Group and landscape designer Mick Humes of Mahan Bridal Associates, rearranges amenities to avoid removing mature trees and to create a larger contiguous athletic and flexible-lawn area. Humes described a \"central pavilion, with restroom facility\" as \"one of the hearts of this overall park,\" a shaded hub intended for gatherings adjacent to fields, playgrounds, tennis and dog-park zones.

Designers showed a 30,000-foot overview and said next steps include preparing 30% construction documents with cost estimates targeted for September, then value engineering and phasing. Council members and advocates pressed for details on shading, how many gathering locations would be provided and whether trees would be planted at larger sizes so canopy benefits appear sooner. Mick Humes and the project team said the plan includes multiple shade structures and roughly seven or eight covered gathering areas across the site.","Consultants presented updated master-plan concept for Community Park South emphasizing preserved trees, a centralized pavilion, flexible lawns and phased construction; council and residents asked about dog-park sizes, lighting, green infrastructure and funding.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6183137,"Residents Urge Princeton to Back State Immigrant Trust Act; Council Emphasizes Existing Local Protections",4016,2584000,6600000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5099228-9859834faa7fbdbf579e04eac3c9f057&start=2584&end=6600","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5099228-9859834faa7fbdbf579e04eac3c9f057/thumbnail_2584000.jpg","/articles/6183137/Princeton/Mercer-County/New-Jersey/Residents-Urge-Princeton-to-Back-State-Immigrant-Trust-Act-Council-Emphasizes-Existing-Local-Protections","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183137-daec3e627cf7bce0e0cfdcc18f3b3b97/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175549&Signature=Gr5iDm0m7WyyWG16Jr2OClKQn~oK48RJYBOdWCCL3Zuj5YW-QTf364AE4uJ7tPBJlPNl36RuY8TZQqBWZMOhnhHqZ0UWTaHQk2aCGudOB8NXs~73V6oTDLFeR-waJkw5yIz8g64jPijwzeK8vf0hXk5Tf4LdPFirSYrCLk1O6fEwFg0RFpM1SNq71eau7MxSxBrRoX9mds7-HattB1d9wuB4IeshIJeXWavzmj6L-ET8m-6L6BD5o9BIali1NEZsEkr-EVmr~zQzYN95kH0qIFev5QnFyQreClfovfKVKNd9nK9di9wwJD~tAlS9mxaWbUfYcrYiFO3LjuPcerSRzg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dozens of residents, students and immigrant-rights organizers called on the mayor and council of Princeton on June 23 to back the New Jersey Immigrant Trust Act and to adopt a local resolution that would signal municipal support and strengthen protections for immigrants.
