Town of Clinton approves permit for Clinton Pride Family Festival on June 7
Summary
At a June 4 special meeting, the Town of Clinton unanimously approved a special event permit for the Clinton Pride Family Festival scheduled for June 7, 2026 at Gephardt Field; the meeting adjourned at 9:15 a.m.
Mayor Janice Kovach called the Town of Clinton's special meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. on June 4, 2026 and read a STATEMENT OF ADEQUATE NOTICE required under state law, noting the meeting was available by Zoom and that public comments could be submitted via Zoom chat or email.
The council approved a special event permit for the Clinton Pride Family Festival, scheduled for June 7, 2026 at Gephardt Field. Council member Traphagen moved to approve the permit; Council member Padmos seconded. The record states there was "no discussion," followed by "Vote all ayes. Motion carried." The record contains inconsistent spellings of the field (appearing as both "Gephardt Field" and "Gebhardt Field" later in the minutes).
The administrative record lists Council members Kashwick, Padmos, Stentz and Traphagen as present (all participating virtually) and Council members Bruno and Perloff as absent. Municipal Clerk Suzie Givone and Business Administrator Richard Phelan were recorded as present. The clerk's signature block later appears in the record with an alternate spelling ("Suganah Suzannah Givone"); the article notes that discrepancy in the minutes rather than asserting a single corrected form.
With no further business, Council member Padmos moved to adjourn; Council member Traphagen seconded and the meeting was adjourned at 9:15 a.m.
The council did not record a roll-call vote tally beyond the notation "all ayes," and no additional conditions or restrictions on the permit were stated in the minutes. Members of the public were directed to email councilmeeting@clintonnj.gov with questions between meetings.
Next steps: the permit is approved per the minutes; the council took no further action at this session and provided no additional details about event operations, permits, or security in the record.
