The Princeton City Council ended a long meeting by accepting the voluntary resignation of City Manager Mike Mashburn.
Council voted 6-0 to accept his resignation and authorized Mayor Eugene Escobar Jr. to negotiate with former Sunnyvale Town Manager Jeff Jones to become alternate city manager.
Assistant City Manager Fred Gibbs, who had previously been named interim manager while Mashburn was on extended leave, also resigned. Assistant City Manager Allison Cook remains on staff.
Also during the Monday, Dec. 8, meeting, councilmembers ordered a citywide drainage study and took steps to re-implement winter quarter averaging (WQA) for wastewater bills.
Council had approved the billing method in 2023, but it was never implemented and was quietly repealed in September 2024. When that was discovered, the city refunded nearly $1 million to water customers who had been overbilled and residents requested that WQA be officially adopted.
