Summary

At its Jan. 7 reorganization meeting the Princeton mayor and council elected Councilwoman Michelle Peron Lambros as council president by voice vote, swore in two council members and approved a consent agenda of routine reorganization items.

Councilwoman Michelle Peron Lambros was elected council president by the Princeton mayor and council during the body's Jan. 7 reorganization meeting and was congratulated by colleagues following a voice vote. The meeting also included swearing-in ceremonies for two council members and approval of the consent agenda.

A council member nominated "my esteemed and accomplished colleague, Councilwoman Michelle Peron Lambros," which was seconded and approved by voice vote, according to the meeting record. The mayor then directed that the new council president be sworn in.

Earlier in the session the mayor said the body would swear in two members and an administering official led the oath to support the U.S. and New Jersey constitutions; both newly seated members recited the oath. The mayor moved routine reorganization items onto a consent agenda to shorten the meeting; that consent agenda was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote with no objections recorded.

The public comment period produced no speakers. A motion to adjourn closed the meeting after members completed remarks and routine procedural business.

The reorganization meeting—required annually—establishes leadership and takes several ministerial actions so the council can proceed with regular business. The body identified capital budget reviews and several policy issues to be addressed in 2026, including decisions about the Westminster Choir College campus and ongoing affordable-housing obligations.
