Clifton council approves purchase of two parcels for public purpose and OKs $9,000 for closing work
Summary
At a Nov. 28, 2021 special meeting the Clifton Town Council unanimously approved buying two parcels—7149 Main Street and part of 12722 Chestnut Street—for a town public purpose and authorized up to $9,000 for title and survey work to complete the transaction. The minutes do not state the purchase price.
The Clifton Town Council on Nov. 28, 2021 voted unanimously to approve the town’s purchase of two properties—7149 Main Street (Lot 29) and part of 12722 Chestnut Street (Lot 50)—for a public purpose, and authorized up to $9,000 to cover title and survey work needed to complete the transaction.
The action came at a special meeting convened at 7:30 p.m. at the Wayne H. Nickum Clifton Town Hall. Mayor Bill Hollaway moved to approve the purchase “as set forth in the proposed contracts,” and Vice Mayor Regan McDonald seconded; the motion passed on a roll-call vote with all six council members recorded as Aye (Hollaway, McDonald, Effros, Screen, Pline and Poe).
Immediately afterward, under a separate agenda item, Mayor Bill Hollaway moved to authorize expenditures up to $9,000 to perform necessary steps to complete the purchase, including title and survey work. Councilmember Darrell Poe seconded that motion; it also passed on a 6-0 roll-call vote.
The meeting minutes record the council’s approvals and the roll-call tallies but do not specify the purchase price or other contract financial terms. The minutes reference “proposed contracts” and contract attachments included as meeting materials; a separate Virginia Realtors contract form appears in the meeting packet text but the settled purchase price is not stated in the minutes.
Town Clerk Amanda Christman prepared the meeting minutes. Town Treasurer Nick Orrison is listed as staff in attendance. After completing the two actions, Councilmember Darrell Poe moved to adjourn; Councilmember Steve Effros seconded, and the meeting was adjourned at 7:13 p.m.
Next steps recorded in the minutes are procedural: completing title and survey work and any other tasks needed to close the purchase. The minutes do not indicate further council debate or public comment on the actions.
