The Town of Clinton introduced capital ordinances to fund $142,000 in sewer improvements and $382,000 in water projects and introduced Bond Ordinance 2026-11 to authorize $428,189 in bonds (total appropriation $450,725) for police, fire, streets, rescue squad and IT equipment; motions to introduce carried unanimously.
The Town of Clinton council voted to introduce three capital measures on May 13: Capital Ordinance 2026-09 for the Sewer Utility ($142,000 appropriation from the Sewer Capital Improvement Fund), Capital Ordinance 2026-10 for the Water Utility ($382,000 appropriation from the Water Capital Improvement Fund), and Bond Ordinance 2026-11 to appropriate $450,725 and authorize $428,189 in bonds or notes toward various town capital improvements.
Ordinance 2026-09 itemizes sewer utility purchases and repairs including a new truck ($30,000), effluent drives ($20,000), a car lift ($12,000) and a transfer switch ($80,000). Ordinance 2026-10 lists water-utility projects including tank cleaning and repairs ($75,000), two replacement Hach analyzers ($15,000), dehumidifiers for wells and booster stations ($21,000), a storage barn for QP ($250,000) and a boom mower ($21,000).
Bond Ordinance 2026-11 covers several municipal needs: a police SUV and replacement LiveScan fingerprint unit ($79,075), fire equipment (thermal cameras, radios, AEDs) ($32,143), a town share of a boom mower and a new salt storage barn and Riverside/Kings Crossing streetlights ($276,225), a stainless truck body ($10,045), turnout gear for the rescue squad ($22,098), and computer equipment ($10,045). The ordinance lists estimated useful lives for each purpose and declares the town will rely on down payments already made and on bond issuance as permitted by the Local Bond Law.
All three ordinances were introduced (motions and seconds recorded) and carried unanimously, which advances each to the next procedural step for public hearing and final adoption and, for the bond ordinance, subsequent bond or note issuance as required by state law. The council also adopted Resolution #97-26 awarding a design contract to Nader House of Design for the storage barn with a contract not to exceed $68,000 charged to Capital Ordinance #24-06.
