Clifton accepts treasurer’s report; cash balances, CIF payment and event sponsorship reported
Summary
The council accepted the treasurer’s financial reports showing $1.178 million in cash balances, CIF payments related to the Streetscape Project, a $750 Haunted Trail sponsorship and several recent expenditures and accrual items noted by the treasurer.
The Clifton Town Council accepted the Treasurer’s Report for the period ended Aug. 31, 2018 by a unanimous poll vote, 6‑0.
Treasurer Marilyn Barton’s emailed packet reported total cash balances of $1,178,033.84 and summarized notable items: a $750 sponsorship received for the October Haunted Trail event; a Vehicle Registration Fees payment of $838 from Fairfax County; an insurance payment of $5,809 for FY19 coverage; payment of $6,250 to McGee Civil Construction for repair of an 8‑acre park bridge; and advances including $1,775 (50% advance) for the Caboose renovation and $700 for Main Street bridge railings to contractor Florencio Contreras. The packet also identified a CIF (Capital Improvements Fund) payment from VDOT related to the Streetscape Project (Invoice #5).
The P&L detail in the packet shows timing and accruals that produced a negative net income figure for the reporting period (noted as timing related), and line items for committee fundraising, community hall revenues, and payroll. The treasurer asked council members to request supplemental schedules if they wanted more detail.
During public comment, Marcus Silva submitted photos of a School Street property with trash and said “nothing ever seems to be done.” Councilmember Darrell Poe responded that the town had engaged a professional trash removal service and was addressing the issue.
