Clifton releases additional $60,000 to pay J2 streetscape invoices; full contract release deferred
Summary
Council approved an additional $60,000 to cover J2 Streetscape invoices after a July invoice pushed the released balance over the previously approved $50,000; members preferred to wait for the Treasurer before releasing the contract balance and will revisit in September.
The Clifton Town Council on Aug. 6 authorized an additional $60,000 to pay J2 invoices related to the Streetscape Phase 2A work after a July invoice exceeded the amount the council had previously released.
Special Projects Committee reported the J2 agreement is for about $275,000; the council had earlier authorized release of $50,000 but the July invoice put the invoices over that amount. Committee members requested release of the full remaining balance to avoid monthly funding requests, but council members expressed a preference to release only the amount required for the current invoice and to wait for the Town Treasurer to be present before approving the full contract payment.
Councilmember Mary Hess moved to approve an additional $60,000 to pay J2 invoices; Vice Mayor Regan McDonald seconded and the motion was approved by roll call, 4–0. CM Hess asked that the Town Clerk put the item on the September agenda to reconsider releasing the full contract amount.
Next steps: Council will consider whether to release the remainder of the contract at the September meeting when the Town Treasurer can be present.
