Staff provided a marketing and events update. Marketing and Communications Specialist Maddie McMurian told the council the farmer's market will pause for the Labor Day weekend and the regular market season will end Sept. 27 with the annual Harvest Fest. McMurian reported results from a recent donation station: \"the monthly donation station collected a 118 pounds of produce, 1 pound of pork, 3 pounds of eggs, and 6 pounds of honey, valuing to $312, which served 58 households and 214 individuals.\" She also listed upcoming events: the Dirty Dozen 5K and Oktoberfest (Sept. 13 at the Jerry Long Family YMCA), a fall medicine drop (Sept. 20 at Public Works), vendor registration for the Monster Dash and Goblin Hop (Oct. 19), Bike MS Tour de Tanglewood participation (September date provided in packet), Fleet Feet Mission 5K (Oct. 4) and the Buddy Walk for Down Syndrome Awareness (Oct. 25).

Council members praised staff hires and outreach; the mayor said the operations center marks progress toward the long-term town-center vision for Village Point.

Assistant manager (unnamed) told the council the village has been updating three annexation agreements discussed at the January retreat; Winston‑Salem and Lewisville agreements remain in process and Bermuda Run was ready for the formal hearing call. The assistant manager said the draft agreement clarifies that neither town will cross the Yadkin River — which also serves as the county boundary — and that the agreement will run for 20 years. The assistant manager noted the village's prior agreement with Bermuda Run had expired in 2022.

Council Member (unnamed) moved to call a public hearing for the annexation agreement and specified the hearing date and time: Monday, Sept. 8, 2025, at 6 p.m. at Village Hall. The motion was seconded, and the council approved it by unanimous voice vote.

The council packet included a draft agreement and a map; the assistant manager said the map is the most important part for understanding the proposed boundary. The public hearing will give residents and affected parties an opportunity to comment before the council later considers adopting the annexation agreement.","Council called for a public hearing Sept. 8, 2025, to consider a 20-year annexation agreement with the town of Bermuda Run; the agreement preserves the Yadkin River as the county boundary and replaces an agreement that lapsed in 2022.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6505530,"Village of Clemmons reviews draft ADA transition plan; adoption expected in November",878,2486000,3364000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5671122-1ca5e3e60dc6496912acfb02d81b988c&start=2486&end=3364","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5671122-1ca5e3e60dc6496912acfb02d81b988c/thumbnail_2486000.jpg","/articles/6505530/North-Carolina/Village-of-Clemmons-reviews-draft-ADA-transition-plan-adoption-expected-in-November","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6505530-ed12af6dfb8f69ec4dc45efc67c85006/orig.mp4?Expires=1775547749&Signature=Ri-wFfVPZzVpNnf5Suebo3CQWOick0UvPIj-MSeOAHxI~DigKFsYaqP1Vi5WxNIMupUksL~KJ9HA4GqptESVsTAiL1PKWURW01EDsD595xNUkTJJGQEysYr7NUayP9oHNI8kxyT-UiAy7S9VPPeNx7LKXZDr6pYmPPEW6rCTvw7py-n3a-1sy8wG~qJeZIF2MfOhQpT9hQ7gfatO16-S-jUyo~Ao8~szjtSXIcxnQWl8uixn29Ao17F8pINANPXOa-ErQ54zzrjLtUQo4uyeUnd4GuGWvHgAxM7QX2LcD~bR7ATy8K6WyLOBOygY~fH28XhCAEFTt-7rjk~6xi4wNQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Clemmons received a briefing on a draft ADA transition plan on Aug. 25, 2025. The presentation, led by Matt Poole of Kimley‑Horn, described a program- and facilities-focused self-evaluation required under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act and said the village could expect to return in November for formal adoption.

\"This is a master plan for accessibility for all programs as well as facilities that are offered to the public,\" Poole said, summarizing the plan's purpose. He described the draft as a long-range implementation document that catalogs barriers, provides methods to remove them, estimates planning-level costs and proposes a schedule.

Poole said the project was funded through the SS4A (Safe Streets and Roads for All) planning grant received in 2023 and that the deliverables include a GIS-based database and an online dashboard for staff to manage facility reports, priorities and budgets. He said field work evaluated public facilities and rights-of-way across the village, noting the draft counted two public buildings, two public lands, 14 signalized intersections and about 28 miles of sidewalk in the inventory.

The consultant team used GPS-enabled data collection, smartphone LIDAR and photo documentation to produce location-specific facility reports. Poole said the draft establishes priorities from an accessibility lens, includes programmatic reviews (website content, public notices and staff procedures) and recommends a 30-year horizon for full implementation — consistent with practices in other communities.

Council members asked whether the plan would help the village pursue implementation funding. Poole said yes, explaining that the data-driven inventory and planning-level cost estimates provide leverage when applying for federal and state grants. He also said title-2 obligations apply to the village's public programs and facilities, while private businesses fall under Title III.

The council received the presentation and requested follow-up; the consultant team said it will return with a final package and adoption request in November.","Consultants from Kimley‑Horn briefed the council on a draft Americans with Disabilities Act (Title II) transition plan funded by an SS4A grant; the plan inventories barriers, estimates costs and proposes a 30-year implementation schedule with adoption targeted for November 2025.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6505535,"Village of Clemmons adopts Northern Piedmont regional hazard mitigation plan",1451,986000,2437000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5671122-1ca5e3e60dc6496912acfb02d81b988c&start=986&end=2437","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5671122-1ca5e3e60dc6496912acfb02d81b988c/thumbnail_986000.jpg","/articles/6505535/North-Carolina/Village-of-Clemmons-adopts-Northern-Piedmont-regional-hazard-mitigation-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6505535-7d4ee2b77a9ba9aa78fa503467378957/orig.mp4?Expires=1775547749&Signature=IojvC~qDxrzel1nMAIupCL21hO9ZtPMr3vkHtMK6XqHsuWmd52~tylwZum9Ljc3SDw4OKHFOYLEIaew6FVYxt39m~wMi4qvhjm1vRlMmPrQKHSpgNAnktUxSRXuZHEJsU02upcrHDCXzXGpfCvdob9UxsOo1Rh4-wh7QKozAO4cfvGjiDrQdbuBxlylCKVMxs-YumMngrJmvmauLFIATZoVpeAcOvhi1RZVMiejkMZ1cEfGJDCpegRF9U3y3I82Lu1v-j4VDwFbXXRUSOl5-bsvEjsTZ8RHtuIrcu~oresqQjA0f3FJETcBJaIztwCIMBXhQRMQMQizsAjfcqVurjg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Clemmons Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2025-R-11 on Aug. 25, 2025, formally approving the Northern Piedmont Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan.

Forsyth County emergency management official Michelle Brock, who presented the plan to the council, said the regional document covers seven counties and must be approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency every five years. \"If you don't have a mitigation plan in place that is approved when a disaster happens to your community, you are not eligible for reimbursement,\" Brock told the council, noting FEMA had already given conditional approval pending local adoption.

The plan, Brock said, is more than a flood plan: \"It used to focus on just natural things like flooding ... but now it includes all the other things that we have to plan for so that we are mitigating those risks.\" She described categories of mitigation actions — prevention, property protection, public education, emergency services, natural resource management and structural projects — and said mitigation typically saves about $6 in recovery funds for every $1 spent on mitigation measures.

Brock highlighted several local priorities captured in the plan: wildfire and wildland-urban interface risk in recently developed neighborhoods, increasing risk from excessive heat, cybersecurity training needs, and an absence of a consolidated countywide emergency notification system. She told the council the village presently relies on the state's IPAWS system for some messages and that a single countywide notification system that did not require individual opt-in would be a high-priority mitigation action.

Resident Jesse Levy spoke during public comment in support of adoption and praised the plan's attention to flooding and wildland-urban-interface hazards. Levy urged the village to pursue free programs such as Firewise and the CERT program through the North Carolina Forest Service and Emergency Management to reduce wildfire risk in areas where homes abut woodlands.

Council members asked about outdoor sirens versus wireless alerts; Brock said sirens are expensive to maintain and can be confusing locally, and she stressed wireless emergency alerts as the most reliable way to reach people on mobile phones.

The council adopted the resolution by motion, second and unanimous voice vote. Because FEMA's approval was already conditional on local adoption, Brock said the village's action preserves eligibility for federal mitigation and reimbursement programs. Brock noted the plan must be renewed again in five years; she gave the date for the next cycle as Aug. 18, 2030.

The adoption directs staff to carry the plan forward into village practice and to coordinate with county partners on high-priority items such as consolidated notification and public outreach.","The Village of Clemmons Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2025-R-11 on Aug. 25, 2025, approving the Northern Piedmont Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan so the village remains eligible for federal disaster reimbursement and mitigation funding.","actionData","errors"]
