Clifton council reviews treasurer’s report, approves tree removal and calendar printing; several items tabled
Summary
Council received the treasurer’s report showing a Sept. 30 cash balance of $733,091.26, approved $1,600 for tree removal and authorized up to $1,000 for the 2014 town calendar (one abstention on each roll-call vote), approved workers’ compensation inclusion for councilmembers, and tabled several items for later review.
At its Oct. 1 meeting, the Clifton Town Council handled a mix of routine business, approvals and items it decided to defer.
Treasurer Marilyn Barton presented the monthly financial report, saying the Cash Balance Report as of Sept. 30 was $733,091.26 and that interest income had not yet been posted but would be available the following day. Barton also noted that the Community Hall was reserved for the town audit on Oct. 16–17 and that an FY2014 auto-tag mail-out would be going out soon.
On committee recommendations and routine spending, the council approved $1,600 to remove a dying tree in the Town Park (motion by Wayne Nickum; roll call: five AYE, one ABSTAIN) and accepted an offer to plant a replacement tree. The council also authorized up to $1,000 to print the 2014 Clifton Town calendars (motion by Chuck Rusnak; roll call recorded Bill Hollaway AYE, Dwayne Nitz AYE, Chuck Rusnak AYE, Wayne Nickum ABSTAINED, John Powell AYE, Deborah Dillard AYE).
The council unanimously approved a resolution to include council members as employees under the town’s workers’ compensation coverage. The council heard a report that the Main Street Pub’s building repairs did not require a new use permit and that the ARB had approved a signage application for the Heillmans’ new business.
Several items were tabled for future meetings, including purchase of a projector/screen for the Community Hall, the Caboose Plaza Phase 2 parking discussion, and a fuller review of speed-survey recommendations and speed-limit bollards. The council also discussed the possibility of pursuing state legislation to allow golf carts and similar vehicles in town limits and asked Tim Hugo to research legislative options.
Council members agreed to follow up on special-project consultant interviews (one respondent, J2 Engineers), emergency planning for major town events with the Lion’s Club, and enforcement-process details for ordinance violations.
