Staff said the courthouse dumpster contract will run $364.09 per month plus a $2.48 landfill surcharge, a decrease of $16.22 compared with the prior year according to the staff report. Brighton Park’s new contract was listed at $476.27 plus a $3.24 landfill surcharge, described as a decrease of $21.01. The health department contract was listed at $259.21 plus a $1.76 surcharge and was described in the staff report as an increase of $93.99, which staff attributed to changes in shared dumpster arrangements when other tenants moved.

The county’s dog pound trash pickup was listed as $52.51 per week plus a $0.36 landfill surcharge; staff said that pickup is likely paid from a smaller fund and is a weekly service.

Commissioners moved, seconded and voted to approve the contracts. Staff noted an earlier offer to share a dumpster with a wellness center and said they would confirm whether the wellness center accepted the offer.

Staff said privacy inserts (privacy slats) are under consideration for existing chain‑link fencing to improve the outdoor run area and that mulch will be added to reduce mud in saturated ground. “The outdoor area… it does get saturated with a lot of water, and it does get… muddy,” the presenter said, and noted a parks employee (Anthony) had agreed to haul an initial load of mulch to assess improvement.

Staff also recommended pressure washing and repainting the pound building after other contractor work finishes and said they would seek bids from a professional tree trimmer to clear trees that may interfere with construction.

The commission did not take a final procurement vote at the meeting; commissioners asked staff to gather pricing for fencing, mulch and tree trimming and to return with estimates. One commissioner asked that painting be deferred until after the other improvements are completed.

Decision/direction: Staff to obtain bids and pricing for privacy slats, mulch, tree trimming and related site work and return to the commission with cost estimates; painting deferred pending completion of other improvements.","Commissioners reviewed proposed improvements to the county dog pound including privacy screening for chain‑link fencing, mulch for outdoor runs, pressure washing and painting, and tree trimming; staff will obtain bids and pricing and return with cost estimates.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6059138,"HCAA officials outline budget shortfalls, request $25,000 from county to cover payroll gap",160,2416000,2576000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3295501-5e1c9722f05991612d40264b12376fd5&start=2416&end=2576","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3295501-5e1c9722f05991612d40264b12376fd5/thumbnail_2416000.jpg","/articles/6059138/Hardy-County/West-Virginia/HCAA-officials-outline-budget-shortfalls-request-25000-from-county-to-cover-payroll-gap","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6059138-05d7dbc1d70deb4d6663d87cfb04f579/orig.mp4?Expires=1775021516&Signature=OaghhPHXeh7mAZrkHzUP5X~Lyfnfp-n37P1CnbJS7cn-1gsb3hht8O8z9HDQht0SSBPJwop2LmiYeYXoTPAsNIWj1D~cBz5ksFLh0KO67D5Wk8vIZ-eSsG5D3Gl4SNrzhiUjPz0UF1aTJJOBfQV4iFCT4i-g3YTPo0JeBUvLFpb6p~vPgn~W8SmcDrkVj-PpBzWXl4VywdUnZvIhKEhj10uKtYk696f4nFpdgZLZjkXx2m3ENirWmZDIofue~wVjphZEG0Ep8z2bdphpLFdMm947XV4n8T~M4cT9ECTbglaRnZQTDvEp3R6vm1ImOE0wfhc0xXkLyZAoUR6OM8RdVA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Representatives of the Hardy County Ambulance Authority (HCAA) told the commission the transition to the 2026 budget exposed a cash‑flow shortfall and an outstanding Medicaid audit billing that together have left the authority roughly $25,000 short of what it needs to complete the fiscal transition.

“The bottom line is … we are out of balance by $25,000 to get into 2026,” a representative said, citing an extra pay period not accounted for in the month‑by‑month breakdown and a Medicaid billing adjustment that could reduce receivables by roughly $40,000–$45,000 to the authority.

Officials described steps taken to tighten labor costs and other line items; they said service revenues have been uneven and that March and April showed lower cash receipts than comparable periods last year. One official said the authority had received a $10,000 cash payment that day but that Medicare/insurance payments remain irregular.

Officials requested a $25,000 county infusion to meet upcoming payroll and obligations. Commissioners discussed cash‑flow timing, improved budget tools and the operational steps being taken; the presentation emphasized that the request was intended to bridge a timing shortfall rather than fund new recurring programs.

The transcript records the request and discussion but does not include a formal recorded vote on the $25,000 request in the available audio. County staff and HCAA officials indicated further reporting and follow‑up would occur.

The presenter described the chapter’s recent fundraising: a merchandise enterprise at a regional tournament, a barbecue that raised $675, a yard sale and other events. The student said first- and second-place finishers at a regional competition will advance to the international conference.

Commissioners asked about how the funding would be used and whether it could be earmarked for particular schools if checks arrive designated by town. The presenter replied that donations are intended for music, band and chorus departments in the schools and that the checks are written to the boards of education with a memo indicating intended use.

After a motion to fund the request, commissioners voted in favor. The presenter was thanked by the chair and by other commissioners for the chapter’s fundraising and year-long activities.
