Princeton City Council set to canvass runoff results, weigh zoning and library renovation; swearing-in scheduled for new member

Princeton's City Council called a special meeting for June 23, 2026, after cancelling its regular June 22 session, to canvass runoff election results for Council Seat 4 and take up several land-use and infrastructure items. Minutes from that meeting have not yet been published, so only the posted agenda is available; outcomes cannot be confirmed.

Council Seat 4 runoff and swearing-in

The June 23 special meeting agenda included canvassing the results of the June 13 runoff election to fill a vacant council seat. On June 29, the city scheduled a ceremonial swearing-in for Council Member-elect Jaisen Rutledge (Place 4). The swearing-in notice stated that no city business would be discussed and no official actions would be taken.

Zoning and development items on June 23 agenda

The special meeting agenda listed several land-use matters:

• **Final plat for Serenity Phase I** — 59.665 acres east of FM 75.
• **Replat of Harvard Flats Addition** — 15 acres at 596 N Beauchamp Boulevard.
• **Text amendment to the zoning ordinance** regarding Data Center regulations.

Because minutes are not yet available, it is not known whether the council voted on these items or deferred them.

Library renovation RFP

The agenda also included an item to begin the RFP (request for proposals) process for the Lois Nelson Public Library renovation and expansion. No dollar figures or timelines were listed on the agenda.

Quorum notices: community events, no action

The city posted several quorum notices under the Texas Open Meetings Act, indicating that board or council members might attend public events in numbers that could constitute a quorum. No formal action was anticipated at any of them:

• June 23: Library Advisory Board members may attend the City Council special meeting.
• June 25: City officials may attend a Community Waste Disposal event.
• June 27: Board members may attend the Freedom & Fireworks event at J.M. Caldwell Sr. Community Park.

Coming up

• **July 6 — Planning & Zoning Commission:** Discussion of the draft Live Princeton Comprehensive Plan and next steps. The agenda notes upcoming public hearings before P&Z on July 13 and before City Council on August 10. The commission will also consider approving June 1 meeting minutes and receive a Princeton Town Center update. No public hearings are scheduled for July 6.
• **July 7 — Parks and Recreation Board:** Review of the Parks and Trails Master Plan presented by Olsson, FY 26/27 special events planning, a Lowry Crossing Texas Park and Wildlife Department grant update, and a proposed site tour for park bond projects on July 15.

All recent meeting items listed above are drawn from posted agendas; minutes have not yet been published. Residents can verify outcomes by checking the official city postings once minutes become available.
