Clifton council approves routine payments, park cleanup and $4,000 to outfit Pink House
Summary
At its Sept. 3 meeting the Clifton Town Council approved a set of vendor payments and town expenditures, including a $32,030.60 streetscape invoice, a $3,348 floodplain parking cleanup, $1,243 to the NVCT, $1,500 for invasive species removal, and $4,000 to outfit the Pink House.
Clifton’s Town Council on Sept. 3 approved a series of routine payments and small capital expenditures, moving forward projects from the streetscape to park cleanup and administrative space preparation.
Vice Mayor Regan McDonald presented the Treasurer’s requests and the council approved a $1,243 payment to the Northern Virginia Conservation Trust to be rolled back into floodplain park improvements and invasive-plant removal. The Treasurer also presented a July invoice from J2 Engineers for the Streetscape project for $32,030.60; Councilmember Jay Davis moved to approve the payment contingent on the Town Administrator’s and Streetscape Committee’s review, and the motion passed on a roll-call vote.
Council approved committee and park expenditures during the meeting. Committee on the Environment Chair Laura McDonald sought a Town match for phase-two invasive-species treatment coordinated with NVCT; Councilmember Mary Hess moved to provide $1,500, which passed on roll call. Parks-related actions included approval for the Virginia Regional Events (VRE) bike-tour pit stop at Ayre Square and a separate vote to spend $3,348 to clean up the floodplain parking area; both motions were approved by the council.
The council also approved $4,000 to outfit the Pink House as administrative workspace, including one-time start-up purchases and cleaning, after Town Clerk and staff compiled a wish list for the back building. Vice Mayor McDonald moved the Pink House expenditure and the motion was approved by roll call.
All recorded motions in the meeting passed unanimously in the minutes: the NVCT payment and COTE match passed by roll call votes listing the five councilmembers as aye; the Treasurer’s report and other poll votes are recorded as 5-0 in the minutes. The council’s approval of the J2 Engineers invoice was conditioned on Administrator and Streetscape Committee sign-off as noted in the motion.
The meeting concluded after routine business and the council adjourned.
