CLARKSBURG (June 24) — Clarksburg’s operating budget for the 2019-20 year beginning July 1 was adopted by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen at their regular meeting on Monday night. The $346,750 budget reflects only minor changes from the current year’s budget. The monthly financial report for May was also approved. Mayor Howell Todd commented on a few positive signs with the wastewater account and his hope that the account will reflect a positive balance at year-end. The City’s wastewater operation is under review by the State Water and Wastewater Financing Board because of two consecutive years of deficits.
In other action, construction of a sidewalk between City Hall and Clarksburg School was approved and awarded to Insite, Inc. from Milan. The $14,950 project is a joint venture between the City and the School to improve the safety of students walking to and from the City Park which is used by student-athletes. Insite, Inc. was recently awarded the contract for the City’s Safe Route to Schools project which calls for the installation of two solar-powered school zone caution lights. Both projects will be underway in early July.
