Summary
Council members approved a motion to alter the Motor Vehicle Highway budget by reducing 2025 by $17,000 so the 2026 MVH budget will be funded; council discussed sources and flexibility for the reduction.
The Clayton Town Council approved an adjustment to the town’s Motor Vehicle Highway (MVH) budgeting that will reduce a 2025 MVH line item by $17,000 to help fund the MVH budget for 2026. Council members said the reduction could be taken from a mix of unrestricted and restricted MVH balances; they discussed not needing to specify the exact source in the resolution and instead showing the smaller 2025 figure in the town’s Keystone budget plan. A councilmember explained that the adjustment would leave the 2026 MVH budget funded, but the council must determine which accounts to draw from to find the $17,000. A motion to authorize altering the MVH fund as needed carried. Discussion versus decision: council discussion centered on funding flexibility and whether the funds are restricted; the formal decision was authority to alter MVH fund allocations and reflect the $17,000 reduction in the 2025 line item. No specific account transfers were named at the meeting.
