Summary
The board accepted police, fire, maintenance, finance and accounting reports; approved donating a 2016 Chevrolet Tahoe to the Town of Greensburg; and heard Mayor Kemp describe water-tower removal plans and an application to LITACorp for wastewater funding.
At its March 11 meeting the Town of Clinton Mayor and Board of Aldermen accepted routine reports from police, fire, maintenance, finance and the town accountant and approved several administrative items.
Police Chief Davis reported February activity that included 41 citations issued, 3 arrests and fines collected by AMS totaling $3,798.54 (total fines including AMS $9,438.54). Chief Davis asked the board to donate a 2016 Chevrolet Tahoe (about 158,000 miles) to the Town of Greensburg; Alderman Beauchamp moved to approve the donation and the motion passed.
Fire Chief Beauchamp reported 24 calls in February (4 alarms, 6 fires, 8 medicals and 6 motor-vehicle accidents) and year-to-date totals of 57 calls. The board accepted the fire department report. Mayor Kemp gave the maintenance report, listing sewer manhole and line repairs, gas-line repairs on multiple streets, park and courthouse clean-up, lift-station work and an 811 training class; the board accepted the maintenance report.
Alderman Morris gave the finance committee update noting accounts receivable are within $500 of last year and calling attention to an increase in purchased natural gas from $18,000 in January to $30,000 in February. Accountant Tim Butler reported there are sufficient funds to repair the wastewater system.
Mayor Mark L. Kemp said the town’s old water tower is beyond restoration, noted Rural Water has disconnected old water lines, and said the town had contracted Feliciana Tree Service to remove trees in preparation for bringing cranes to take down the tower. He said an application through LITACorp is in process to seek funding for wastewater work, that Minda Rayborne, CPA, will begin the town audit next week, and that an Autism Awareness Walk is scheduled for April 2, 2025 and will be posted on the town website.
