Sewer Project

Crew #1 will be working on Second and Third Streets. Crew #2 will be working on Third Avenue today and will then return to Lincoln Avenue for a time.

Please remember, when crews are close to your residence, a stake with a lime green ribbon will be placed in your yard indicating where the sewer hook-up will be located at your property line. When that occurs, if you would like your hook-up in a different location, please contact the village office as soon as possible.

Grant News

The village was informed this week that the grant applied for in February of this year through the DCEO has been awarded in some part. No details are available at this time. Further communication will be forthcoming. Thank you again to the many volunteers who helped complete the Village’s income survey in December 2009.

Clifton Fall Fest Fundraiser

The Clifton Fun Days volunteers are hosting a “Fall Fest” Fundraiser on Sunday, October 17th. Activities will run from 11:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. and include a soup and salad lunch, pumpkin decorating contest, bake sale, hay rack ride, and a variety of games and contests.

Mayor’s Comments

As most of you may know by now, I will be resigning as of September 30, 2010. Health issues have brought me to this decision. I would like to thank everyone for their help during my six year term and the concern you have shown. Please remember, Clifton is your village – get involved and keep it the great place that it is!

Thank you to the village board, the employees and staff; may God bless - Bob Frooninckx
