Clinton City Council adopts six ARPA-required policies, approves resolution and several appointments
Summary
The Clinton City Council approved six policies required to receive American Rescue Plan Act funds, passed a legislature‑requested resolution, and confirmed continuations and an appointment to local boards during a meeting in Clinton, Sampson County.
The Clinton City Council approved six policies required to receive federal American Rescue Plan Act funds, passed a resolution the council said was requested by the legislature, and confirmed several routine appointments and continuations at its meeting (date not specified).
City staff told the council the federal COVID‑era spending rules require a set of policies to remain eligible for ARPA funding. Staff member David said there are six required policies and that he had reviewed the language and found it acceptable for accepting the funds. Council members moved and approved each policy individually by voice vote and then ratified them as a group. Council members identified on the record who voted “aye” during the roll of approvals; no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
The policies discussed on the record included a record‑retention policy and an “eligible use” policy. Other policy titles were discussed but not fully specified in the transcript; the council asked staff to present each for separate adoption and then ratified all six together.
Separately, the council moved and passed a resolution described in the meeting as being required by “01/2005” and by the legislature. The meeting record does not provide the resolution’s full title or text; the council adopted the resolution by voice vote.
On appointments and continuations, the council approved continued service on the planning and zoning roster for individuals identified as Mr. Bridal, Mr. Peterson and Ms. Johnson. The council also approved Chuck Veil for the Board of Adjustments. The transcript shows motions and seconding for those items and voice votes recorded as “aye.” The clerk was asked to return recognition of a state‑champion soccer team to a future meeting because the team had a scheduling conflict.
Before adjourning to closed session, the council noted notifications for Miss Hill and Mr. Butler on the cemetery board and asked staff member JP whether there were any open‑session reports; none were offered before a motion to enter closed session was made and approved.
The meeting record does not include full text for several items (policy titles beyond the two noted and the text of the legislature‑requested resolution) and does not show roll‑call vote tallies. The council asked staff to bring items back to a future meeting where additional recognition and any outstanding appointments will be completed.
