Council approves $100,000 increase for special environmental legal services tied to River Road litigation
Summary
Princeton increased a professional-services cap with Hollenbeck LLC by $100,000 to a new not-to-exceed total of $265,000 for special environmental legal services; council said the matter is in federal litigation and no trial date is set.
The Princeton Mayor and Council on Tuesday approved an increase of $100,000 to the not-to-exceed amount for a professional services agreement with Hollenbeck LLC for special environmental legal services, raising the cap to $265,000.
Resolution 25-193 covers the increase. Council discussion identified the work as related to litigation arising from dumping along River Road; council members noted that the matter is in federal court and that no trial date has been set.
When asked about timing, a councilmember said there was no trial date at the time of the meeting. The council moved and seconded the increase and approved it by voice vote. The meeting record includes a comment that the municipality believes its insurance company should cover certain costs and that the litigation seeks to secure that coverage, but the record does not provide legal filings or confidential litigation strategy details.
