After nearly two years, the City of Clinton has a city administrator.

Tuesday night at the Clinton City Council meeting, the council hired Taylor Baxter as the City Administrator. Baxter comes to Clinton from Pontiac, Illinois, previously serving as the Pontiac Director of Parks and Recreation, filling the vacancy left by Tim Followell's retirement. Commissioner John Wise is looking forward to working with Baxter.

Also at Tuesday night's meeting, Commissioner of Public Health and Safety Dan Ballenger informed the council he had the property at 216 E Adams St, commonly known as the Brownstone, boarded up after receiving multiple reports of squatters.

The city council passed an expansion of the residency agreement with the Clinton Police Department and placed on file exemptions for vendors of the Apple n' Pork Festival.
