Mayor Jody McLeod read a proclamation declaring March 2025 as Procurement Month in Clayton, praising procurement, purchasing and materials management professionals and referencing the North Carolina Association of Governmental Purchasing, the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing and the North Carolina Department of Administration's Division of Purchase and Contract as sponsors of related educational activities. The proclamation text noted procurement professionals \"uphold the highest ethical standards while ensuring the responsible use of taxpayer dollars.\" The council recorded the proclamation as \"Proclaimed by the Clayton Town Council on this March 2025.\"

Councilmember Williams presented a proclamation recognizing town employees and declaring a March 2025 Employee Appreciation Day, citing the staff's daily service in areas such as public safety, utilities and administration. The council also issued a proclamation recognizing the Clayton Comets men's basketball team for winning the 2025 Greater Neuse River Conference tournament title with a reported final score of 72–48 over the Garner Trojans; the proclamation commended the team's athletic commitment and academic eligibility requirements for student athletes.

Each proclamation was presented as a special presentation; the meeting record shows the council read and proclaimed the documents and took photographs but does not record formal votes tied to the proclamations.","The Town Council proclaimed March 2025 as Procurement Month and Employee Appreciation Day and recognized the Clayton Comets men's basketball team for a conference tournament title.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6291567,"Town debuts Clayton 4 U zoning explainer video outlining UDO and building-code basics",93,447000,540000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2529957-f41f4d4c06a3c98bfa743cda356a37d9&start=447&end=540","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2529957-f41f4d4c06a3c98bfa743cda356a37d9/thumbnail_447000.jpg","/articles/6291567/Clayton/Johnston-County/North-Carolina/Town-debuts-Clayton-4-U-zoning-explainer-video-outlining-UDO-and-building-code-basics","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6291567-01949f4264704b2c412be38a9c1717fd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771226549&Signature=QNEylcNLLIyxTwTSZim2nCBiLoCSk8Zo-iuXagepR~9jHg~81AWItR85XoRkd9AKJtuM1cdd2FXg2mCLjg9kXChAdmzAgHAcjXNfPM3PDzLlz0Iga343iNu6uodo0PeCF-qKMOK6he7hGT01wlNHpBuKjt30gMgNmGJLjkzNLma4SGDC2wVdFZsn2-gsivMIh1qUGJrHj-v1x9OqcNqrHGG43CZYaAwNYb0BiozLMfshlUG2-KyckaDTSqK-3XBr3fAHhX9ToQNpfXu76Iv8FuveLQKjf1BIqbxMmiWZqQedG~uOe1xvLTocrGPK10uNDJ7G1VYviDOIwVzn9t1Nkg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Clayton presented the first of a two-part Clayton 4 U series that explains local zoning, the town's Unified Development Ordinance and where residents can find zoning maps and rules.

A program narrator (presenter of Clayton 4 U) said the episode maps \"the ins and outs of zoning, the system that determines how land can be used,\" and explained that the town's zoning is guided by the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) and the Building Code. The video described the three most common zoning categories — residential, commercial and industrial — and noted zoning controls such as building height, parking and open space. It also reminded viewers that regulations apply within town limits and in the town's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ).

The narrator advised residents how to check a property's zoning by consulting the town's official zoning map on the maps and GIS webpage and then reviewing the UDO to determine permitted uses. The program directed residents with questions to the planning department or the town website for more details.

No formal council action was recorded on the video; the program was presented as an informational item in the council's introductions and special presentations portion of the meeting.","The council screened the first of a two-part Clayton 4 U series explaining zoning basics, the Unified Development Ordinance and where residents can find zoning maps and UDO details.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":79,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6291570,"Clayton selects artworks for 2025 sculpture trail, plans March installations",614,566000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2529957-f41f4d4c06a3c98bfa743cda356a37d9&start=566&end=1180","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2529957-f41f4d4c06a3c98bfa743cda356a37d9/thumbnail_566000.jpg","/articles/6291570/Clayton/Johnston-County/North-Carolina/Clayton-selects-artworks-for-2025-sculpture-trail-plans-March-installations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6291570-ec5b4a96b7dd5ba4724c43c5c01f16ab/orig.mp4?Expires=1771226549&Signature=a-uzR8Zlvk6umbLm8xG3b~bswjnCIS3-u8sZmOkaiX~NlI89WQW0V9AGM0MUJjIxbjuZp4FanOIWlrQli-1qh8LqwKBo7ANa1SI8GM3sw08j604CsCkes6~iAvJi4iLqPQNT2yIMDlMKDKkNOvFFRr00~YWEbaXsJERzcYOsjFS~AkLrhTuak4Jin8jdPxZEZyAZNeM7yK~6AsiSrN3o-lmeMxCbbDNYW88-fsaMJEkZ5U1pNX35A4y6TE0pfngTITCNEVvUjaAEzL8rDhsx0LzH-8H60wre1R8yMoNdpNnD3hpRKpSnNCDMpRd7cZ2PlSk3JkybWWccfy~GIAj7MQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Clayton Public Art Advisory Board presented selections for the 2025 sculpture trail and told the Town Council the first installations are scheduled for March.

The selections, presented by Dane Martin, chair of the Public Art Advisory Board, include a mix of interactive and large-scale pieces intended for Town Square, Horn Square, the library and other public sites. \"This one's gonna go with Springbrook... big 750 pounds, 10 feet,\" Martin said of one chosen piece, and he described several others as photo-op and interactive works that can be sat on or closely viewed.

Martin said the committee began with about 130 submissions, narrowed the list through ranked-choice input from committee members and advisory-board ranking, and then coordinated with Public Works on siting and installation logistics. Some locations are still subject to change as the board and Public Works confirm placement and fit. He also said the library bench sculpture will be customizable: the board and the library selected about 15–18 book titles that the artist will place on the bench at their discretion.

Council praise followed the presentation. Mayor Jody McLeod thanked the board and singled out Martin and staff member Heidi for helping organize the selection process. Martin said installations would begin in March and encouraged the public to take photos after pieces are placed.

The board emphasized variety in scale and material across the selections — from small, highly detailed sculptures intended for pedestrian walkways to 14-foot, 1,400-pound color pieces proposed for locations near town hall. Public Works will assist with final siting, and some pieces the committee preferred were not available immediately, the board said.

No formal vote on the selections was recorded in the meeting minutes; the board presented the selections to the council and indicated installation would proceed in the coming weeks.","The Clayton Public Art Advisory Board presented its 2025 sculpture-trail selections, identifying multiple large and small works for downtown, the library, Town Square and other public sites; installations are scheduled to begin in March.","actionData","errors"]
