The Town of Clayton council approved routine minutes and multiple contract and budget items during its meeting.
The council voted to accept the December meeting minutes and the January claim docket after Unidentified Speaker 1 moved and Unidentified Speaker 2 seconded the motion. The vote was taken by oral assent and the chair declared the motion carried.
The council accepted an agreement with municipal adviser FSG for 2026 services. Unidentified Speaker 1 said the contract covers budget-related services not expected to exceed $5,000 and sustainability/revenue planning services not expected to exceed $6,000; Unidentified Speaker 2 seconded and the motion passed by voice vote.
Council also passed an encumbrance resolution to carry $76,405.74 into the new fiscal period. Unidentified Speaker 2 explained the resolution includes $5,900 to maintain the fire department building (per a Stockwell bid), $3,027 for street signs and wayfinder banners and hardware, $1,000 proposed for tree trimming that has not yet been billed, and a mix of grant-match and Motor Vehicle Highway and EDIT fund balances. Unidentified Speaker 3 moved and the council approved the encumbrance by voice vote.
On purchases, the council approved spending $5,988 for holiday decorations (15 snowflakes, five wreaths and five bells) from a vendor in Tennessee. The council discussed carryover funding for decorations and installation logistics before Unidentified Speaker 5 moved to purchase and Unidentified Speaker 1 seconded; the motion carried. The council also approved a three-year, $6,091 service agreement with McAllister for generator maintenance at the wastewater plant after discussion about payment timing and contract breakdowns.
Other smaller approvals included acceptance of an updated encroachment agreement discussed under old business and the council’s authorization of a few routine purchases outlined during departmental reports. Each motion recorded in the meeting was approved by voice vote unless otherwise noted.
The council closed the item noting staff will bring vendor recommendations and contract details for follow-up and implementation at a future meeting.
