In a quick and quiet meeting, the Clinton City Council Monday night approved the sale of property and also the developer for a subdivision on Illini Drive on the community's south side. 

Clinton City Administrator Tim Followell told Regional Radio News in June, the sale of property on East Washington Street to Jesus Soto, Jr. was well over their minimum offer requirement, a good thing for the City and that area of Clinton.

Additionally, the development of property on Illini Drive in the vicinity of Clinton Elementary School and Clinton Junior High School is set for a subdivision. Followell indicates there's already interest in what will be seven parcels for development.

Additionally Monday night, the Council approved playground equipment for Downey Park. Followell says because of shipping times on the equipment, the playground is likely to start being erected in the fall.
