Princeton council approves package of contracts, agreements and routine resolutions

The Princeton Council on May 11 approved a slate of routine resolutions and the consent agenda, including contract awards, a collective bargaining agreement and administrative items.

Resolutions approved:

The consent agenda was moved and approved. No non-agenda public comments were offered before adjournment.

Notes: Several items were approved by voice vote; where dollar amounts were provided in the transcript they are reported above; one performance-guarantee dollar amount in the meeting transcript appears garbled and is therefore noted as not specified here.
