Positive Tax Report, New Fire Truck Among Talking Points at Latest Clinton City Council Meeting

Sales tax figures "were amazing this turn" and a new fire truck for the Clinton Fire Department is close to being announced are among some of the announcements from this last Monday night's Clinton City Council meeting.

 

Clinton Commissioner of Finance Tom Edmonds does not have an explanation as to why sales tax figures continue to be so strong but he called Monday's report "amazing".

 

 

Commissioner of Public Safety Dan Ballenger indicated the Fire Department has been searching for a new fire engine and he is close to having something to present to the Council and was pleased to report, it is looking like it will come in under budget.

 

 

The Clinton Police Department recently accepted the resignation of one of its sergeants. Police Chief Ben Lowers told the Council Monday night this is a growing trend in law enforcement and believes this could be just the beginning of the local results of our country's treatment of law enforcement officials. 

 

 

Commissioner of Streets and Public Improvements Kenny Buchanan reminded the public, as brush pick-up week continues, brush piles bigger than City regulations are starting to pop up again. He is asking folks with large brush piles to make accommodations to deal with those independently and to not burden city crews with unreasonably sized loads.

 

 

The Council Monday night approved Jim Brady to the Warner Hospital and Health Services Board as well as reappointed Marilyn Black to the Clinton Tree Commission.
