During the government meeting held on October 16, 2024, all three commissioners were present as they addressed several key agenda items. The session began with the approval of the consent agenda, which included various financial vouchers totaling over $3 million, covering expenses for multiple county services such as parks, emergency medical services, and library funding. No budget revisions were proposed, and the commissioners noted current position vacancies on their website.
The meeting also welcomed a new employee, Mackenzie Hickey, who was approved as a part-time relief worker for the Youth Services Center at an hourly rate of $14.40.
Public comments were invited, with Mary Anne Folz raising concerns about the condition of the rail trail, which spans both city and county jurisdictions. Folz emphasized the need for collaboration with the city of Morgantown to enhance safety and cleanliness along the trail, suggesting the purchase of electric bikes for patrols to help maintain the area and encourage community use.
Another speaker, Mickey Reinhart, representing the Long County Volunteer Fire Companies Association, also addressed the commissioners, although specific details of his comments were not included in the transcript.
The meeting concluded with an open floor for additional public input, reflecting the commissioners' commitment to community engagement and responsiveness to local concerns.
