Town adopts no‑mowing‑on‑private‑property policy and approves 2026 mowing contract
Summary
The Town of Clifton adopted a policy that the town will not mow private property citing liability concerns, and approved the 2026 yearly mowing contract; both motions passed unanimously. Wood chips behind the town barn were also made available to residents, and Browns Falls assessment grievance settlement could reduce assessment by about $7,000 per year if settled now.
The Town of Clifton board voted to adopt a policy that the town will not mow private property because of liability concerns. Ray Campany moved the policy; Brett Blackmer seconded the motion, which passed unanimously (Ayes=4, Noes=0, Absent=1).
Separately, the board approved the 2026 yearly mowing contract (motion by Ray Campany, seconded by Mary Zuhlsdorf), with no dissent recorded. The minutes also note that wood chips behind the town barn are available to residents. In a separate item, the board recorded that settling the Browns Falls assessment grievance now would lower the assessment by about $7,000 less per year; the minutes do not record whether the board took immediate action on that grievance beyond noting the figure.
