Robbinsville council highlights Community Day, asks for Robertson Thrive committee and proclaims June 2026 Pride Month
Summary
At its June meeting, the Robbinsville Township Council praised Community Day, asked the mayor to consider a formal committee to advance the "Robertson Thrive" roadmap, accepted a $500 chamber donation to Meals on Wheels, and the mayor read a Pride Month proclamation and announced the town closed on the Amron property in Windsor.
The Robbinsville Township Council used its June meeting to praise recent community events, formally request further committee work on a mayoral initiative and issue a Pride Month proclamation.
Council Member Amit opened the reports section, congratulated retiring Clerk Michelle and praised Community Day, calling it “stellar.” Amit asked the council to consider forming a separate committee to review and advance the Robertson Thrive strategic roadmap, saying residents he has spoken with “love the concept … and they want to get involved.” The request was presented as a formal ask for the mayor and council to consider creating a committee to pursue the initiative over the next four to five years.
Council Member Chris and Council Member Rathna also thanked staff and volunteers for Community Day. A member noted a $500 donation from the chamber (presented on behalf of an organization identified in the meeting) to Robbinsville Meals on Wheels to help address local food insecurity.
Mayor Michael Todd praised the Recreation Department for organizing Community Day and said the town intends to build on this year’s event. He announced the township had closed on the Amron property in Windsor, stating, “So, we officially own that.”
During the meeting the mayor read a Pride Month proclamation recognizing June 2026 as Pride Month and affirming Robbinsville’s support for LGBTQIA+ residents. In the proclamation the mayor stated the township “recognizes the human rights of all citizens, including the right to live and love openly” and urged residents to engage in supportive activities during the month.
Council members also announced civic events: a 250th-birthday celebration at the senior center on July 1 beginning at 11:00 a.m., and a Declaration of Independence reading at the gazebo on July 4 (organizers were seeking volunteers to read parts of the declaration, with an approximate 8:30 a.m. arrival time suggested).
Votes at a glance: The council moved and seconded motions to approve the meeting minutes on the floor. The transcript records that motions to approve the prior meeting minutes (a general 2026 minutes entry and the regular meeting minutes of May 28, 2026) were moved, seconded and recorded as carried by roll call. The transcript does not provide a complete, unambiguous roll-call tally for the first minutes motion; the clerk’s roll call and discussion indicate the motions passed. (Exact mover/second and a detailed tally are not specified in the meeting record.)
What’s next: Amit’s request to form a separate committee for the Robertson Thrive roadmap was made as a formal ask to the mayor and council; the council did not record a formal vote on forming that committee during this meeting. The clerk was publicly thanked and honored as she prepares to retire, and the mayor’s announcements (property closing and proclamation) represent the most recent formal developments noted at the meeting.
