Princeton council approves solar net-metering ordinance, highway and maintenance resolutions and sale of 526 North Chestnut
Summary
The Princeton City Council approved ordinance O-26-013 (customer-owned solar net metering) on second reading and passed several resolutions allocating motor-fuel and maintenance funds, authorizing a highway permit and approving sale of city-owned 526 North Chestnut; all items passed by roll call with no extended debate.
The Princeton City Council moved through routine agenda business and approved a set of ordinances and resolutions that the mayor and staff described as necessary to fund upcoming street projects, authorize city staffing paperwork and enable a property sale.
The council held the second and final reading of Ordinance O-26-013, which amends the city's customer-owned solar-generation net metering policy. A council member moved to adopt the ordinance, the motion was seconded and the roll was called; the ordinance passed with affirmative responses from the members present.
Council also approved Resolution R-26-009 to designate Jessica (a new city employee handling human resources, payroll and benefits) as the city's IMRI authorized agent, following a brief staff explanation of the paperwork required.
Resolutions R-26-010 and R-26-013 were approved to allocate motor fuel tax (MFT) and maintenance funds toward street-improvement projects scheduled for the coming summer; Teresa said the funding will support multiple projects including a cemetery street and Church Street storm-water work.
The council approved Resolution R-26-011, a highway-permit resolution for construction tied to the Princeton Fire Department expansion that requires restoration of sidewalks, turf and other affected areas to original condition or better.
Council approved Resolution R-26-012 authorizing sale of a city-owned distressed property at 526 North Chestnut; staff said the city gained control of that property after a multi-year effort and is seeking a buyer who will renovate the home, with an approximate six-month expectation to restore it to productive use.
Before the votes the clerk presented invoices totaling $1,549,341.70 for departments including public safety and utilities; council moved to approve the invoices and the roll call confirmed disposition.
All motions on the consent and action agenda were moved, seconded and adopted by roll call with no substantive debate recorded. The council then approved a motion to adjourn into executive session to discuss claims and litigation matters and set the next regular meeting for Monday, June 1, 2026 at 6 p.m.
