City Council of Clayton took significant steps towards enhancing community services and governance during their meeting on July 17, 2025. The council unanimously approved several resolutions aimed at improving local infrastructure and governance procedures.

One of the key resolutions authorized a governmental natural gas aggregation program, allowing residents to opt out if they choose. This initiative is designed to provide residents with more competitive energy rates and will be presented to voters in an upcoming ballot, ensuring community involvement in the decision-making process.

Additionally, the council approved a cooperative agreement with the City of Brookville, allowing the use of Clayton's street sweeper for specified times in 2025 and 2026. This collaboration is expected to enhance street maintenance efficiency and improve overall community cleanliness.

The council also made amendments to the Clayton Charter, updating procedures for passing ordinances and resolutions. These changes aim to modernize the city’s governance, making it more transparent and accessible through improved communication methods, including social media and website updates.

These resolutions reflect the council's commitment to fostering a responsive and efficient local government, directly benefiting Clayton residents. As the city moves forward, these initiatives are expected to enhance community services and engagement, paving the way for a more connected and informed citizenry.
