During the recent Martins Ferry City Council meeting, a significant decision was made to support the local American Legion's Poppy Day event, scheduled for May 24. The council unanimously approved a motion allowing the Legion to conduct the event from 11:30 AM to 5:30 PM, which aims to raise funds for veterans and their families.

In addition to this key resolution, the council received and acknowledged reports from officers and management, which will be incorporated into the official meeting minutes. This procedural step ensures transparency and keeps the community informed about ongoing activities and governance.

The meeting also included a motion to excuse council member Mr. Nyman, which was approved without opposition.

As the meeting concluded, council member Mr. Houser motioned to adjourn, signaling the end of the session. The decisions made during this meeting reflect the council's commitment to supporting community initiatives and maintaining open communication with residents. Looking ahead, the successful execution of Poppy Day will not only benefit local veterans but also strengthen community ties.
