Clinton council reviews budget, street funding proposal in late June meetings
The Clinton City Council held a series of meetings in late June that placed the adoption of the next fiscal year budget, a possible new street maintenance fee and long-range land-use planning at the center of public discussion. Meeting minutes have not been published, leaving final votes and outcomes unconfirmed.
Budget and employee pay
During a regular session on June 23, the council held a public hearing on Resolution 18-26, which would adopt the final budget for fiscal year 2026-27. A separate hearing was dedicated to executive salary increases and cost-of-living adjustments for the coming year. The same agenda also included Resolution 19-26, a measure to amend the current fiscal year budget. No dollar figures or specific salary adjustments were listed in the published materials.
Street funding discussion
The June 23 meeting agenda featured a presentation on street pavement quality ratings. After the presentation, council members were expected to discuss the possibility of creating a Transportation Utility Fee to provide a dedicated revenue stream for street maintenance. The item was listed for discussion only, with no vote scheduled.
Land-use planning
In a work session immediately following the regular meeting on June 23, the council turned to an update of the city’s General Plan for the West Focus Area. Discussion focused on land-use designations — including residential, commercial, industrial and open space — and a review of the corresponding land-use map.
Three days later, on June 26, the council met again to review a map exhibit labeled “EXHIBIT A.” The map showed the locations of Hooper Canal, Layton Canal, West Clinton Park, Kiwanis Park, Steed Park, Meadows Park and Clinton Cemetery, along with streets and numbered coordinates. No action items or specific agenda were attached to this exhibit, suggesting the council may be gathering information for future land-use or zoning decisions.
Other business
A public hearing was held June 23 on Ordinance 26-04, which would amend sections of city code dealing with weeds. The proposed changes were not detailed in the agenda. Separately, the July 2 meeting of the Clinton Planning Commission was canceled. No reason for the cancellation was given.
Coming up
