City council votes

The Claremont City Council voted 5-0 Tuesday night at the city council meeting to pass its 2009-2010 budget which appropriated $117,000 from the general fund reserve and appropriated $79,000 in one-time revenues. 

In a nutshell, the vote was pretty uneventful. The council thanked all the associations responsible for cutting back wages and benefits before making their vote.  

The council also voted 5-0 to approve Adirondack Lane residential permit parking. But the council decided, after hearing upset Adirondack residents, to change the parking permit to everyday from dawn to dusk.

The original proposal was only on federal holidays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Councilman Peter Yao recommended in a separate motion to change the entrance for parking to help clear the area. The staff will look into the proposal and come back to council at another date. There was no deadline for the date.
