Summary
At the June 5 meeting the council heard Treasurer Marilyn Barton's report (cash balance $506,834; net operating income $43,017; capital improvements loss ($7,496); overall net income $36,221), closed the budget hearing, set a special meeting for June 16 to consider final budget adoption, and approved several routine motions including minute and treasurer report approvals and scheduling the July discussion on 7239 Dell Avenue.
The Clifton Town Council on June 5 closed the public hearing on the town's budget (transcript label FYE 1306) after hearing that the forecasted surplus for the year was $1,800. The council agreed to hold a special meeting seven days later, on Saturday, June 16, at the Gazebo to consider formal adoption of the budget.
Treasurer Marilyn Barton presented the financial reports for the period ended May 31: total cash balance $506,834; consolidated net operating income year-to-date $43,017; capital improvements net loss ($7,496); and overall net income $36,221. She also presented a requisition to the Virginia Department of Transportation requesting transportation funds reimbursement of $13,967.88. The council voted unanimously to approve the Treasurer's Report.
The council approved routine procedural actions by unanimous votes: approval of the May minutes, adding consideration of an expenditure for landscaping in the Norfolk Southern parking area to the special meeting agenda, adding an agenda item on the status of the Town website to the present meeting, scheduling discussion of disposition of the building at 7239 Dell Avenue for the July meeting, and revoking prior approvals of temporary Main Street banners so that future banners will require Council re-approval.
Other items noted included reports from the ARB and Planning Commission; a Gala report that the event raised $22,224.84; Parks Committee discussion of a proposed basketball-court renovation drawing; and plans for railroad-siding beautification and planters. The council also agreed to place signs in town parking lots warning that overnight parked cars may be towed. The meeting adjourned by unanimous motion.
The transcript records the fiscal-year label as "FYE 1306," which appears in the meeting materials; the council set a specific follow-up date (June 16) for final budget action.
