Barney described Operation Green Lead as a voluntary recycling program started with assistance from Apple Valley Waste in which parent volunteers or staff transport collected recycling to the county recycling center. He told the commission the authority tracks participating schools’ collections and issues annual awards to participating schools.

Barney highlighted student volunteers at South Middle School who help collect and stage recyclables for pickup. The presentation was ceremonial and included photo opportunities; no county appropriation or budget amendment was recorded during the meeting.

Commissioners thanked the schools and authority staff for the program and encouraged continued participation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Berkeley County Commission Meeting 5/22/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Berkeley County Solid Waste Authority and Apple Valley Waste presented checks totaling $1,000 to Saint Joseph School and South Middle School for participation in the Operation Green Lead recycling program.","taxTitle","Berkeley County, West Virginia","taxId",58957,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6228435,"Commission approves MOU continuing Day Report Center services for adult drug court",171,3459385,3631000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3473894-8cddd526b1497d5135030809a7ffdc5a&start=3459&end=3631","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3473894-8cddd526b1497d5135030809a7ffdc5a/thumbnail_3459385.jpg","/articles/6228435/Berkeley-County/West-Virginia/Commission-approves-MOU-continuing-Day-Report-Center-services-for-adult-drug-court","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6228435-9ad560172c5b12dc341ee634a1efaf1a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771035984&Signature=BiHwVudk8BWA6CeUZjPeeaeAD3MW9f8rLbL0xEfXFMPe5ue0UGoudfckYaJJmMFM-qu2aqxNUYwE4dX4QQs4cVmUaNddpe1gOrDgqjZhv0UZUTPpGSQ6DUFYM84l4PytT4AGNnhnFDz5Crsq~sNRLA9OT5GrD3TUkeLy3phyQPwwgujMPya7NqWl1CaA6rsiJLuoPEsdpBH0epTcgeQan5lId-CoN3Qm6aYiwipWAAGfJY5s9piU94lGCpuu69qKEo6gelyb~jSJChO1Y-AXkMHmATbp4JJhlROrYRS0E6J5Ods~x9uDMVPkpF5STs65vpMB2Jal7ueqptplmsH94w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Berkeley County Commission approved a one-year memorandum of understanding (MOU) to continue Day Report Center services for adult drug court participants at the same per-diem rate used in prior years.

Tim Zia, Director of Community Corrections, described the MOU as unchanged from previous years and said the Supreme Court pays a per-diem rate for participants who receive services. \"The Supreme Court pays us a per diem rate, for the participants of the program,\" Zia told commissioners. Zia said the program has been the service provider for adult drug court for a number of years and requested the commission’s signature for the coming fiscal year.

Commissioners asked whether the per-diem rate is the same across the state; Zia responded that, to his knowledge, it is. One commissioner said county staff has previously encountered reimbursement discrepancies from the Supreme Court for other court-related per diems and indicated they would follow up to confirm rates.

The commission voted to approve the MOU by voice vote; the motion passed and the chair said the commission would implement the agreement for the next fiscal year. No per-diem dollar amount or a roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript; procurement and grant-review matters related to Jefferson County funding were discussed separately in the Community Corrections report.","The commission approved a one-year memorandum of understanding with the Supreme Court to continue Day Report Center services for adult drug court participants at the current per-diem reimbursement rate.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6228440,"County opens bids for sheriff’s mobile data computers and day report center furniture; no awards made",351,2069375,2421000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3473894-8cddd526b1497d5135030809a7ffdc5a&start=2069&end=2421","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3473894-8cddd526b1497d5135030809a7ffdc5a/thumbnail_2069375.jpg","/articles/6228440/Berkeley-County/West-Virginia/County-opens-bids-for-sheriffs-mobile-data-computers-and-day-report-center-furniture-no-awards-made","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6228440-090a902f8ef3df3392abfed4cbff542d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771035984&Signature=IqhvrwGEi1NCXxn3JvkMi~VIS7B~yc6Sb-BYydlVeCptx2KUmjCRzfrjsrV22VJnPvQ2X~AZuiRKvkJu2DfJq-7gEvMarBlkHKRyHAwC1CpFoZYt-eq34rZcP8-OZvgT3IweehvyQgqK9144N9wKLa6Dyz6qqrYiO~NBOPlCcyLgc05sgox~lvUW8mJRyCS6ivhvKlfTmruI6I7xrkUpqBx9SazOqmlO9aC9FVZSx1sPfGZ3xism8pn~5sAdd0ZKmHyXDuaekF4a9FhDktnfY7D5rBhPulcISc3ecBPXj6mEmLPSdA7PyBDOV2GrA9IiukNNvUD0ubufpIoI~hEbxA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Berkeley County Commission opened bids for two procurement items at the May 12 meeting but did not award either contract.

Captain Ramaji of the Salvation Army Martinsburg presented the proclamation and an impact report, telling commissioners the local unit served more than 6,000 people through social services in 2024. \"Last year alone the Salvation Army Martinsburg 84 cents of every dollar donated went into the serving community,\" he said. The impact report cited 2,160 people assisted through the food pantry, 2,040 people who received clothing assistance, 180 people helped with utility assistance and more than 5,000 Christmas toys distributed through the Angel Tree program.

Commissioners thanked the Salvation Army leadership and volunteers. During the presentation, the Salvation Army described newer local programs including a \"family closet\" to distribute donated clothing free of charge and a recent seniors outreach that provided holiday gift baskets for a limited number of older residents.

The commission approved the proclamation by voice vote. No county funding action was recorded during the meeting; the presentation was a ceremonial recognition and a report of the nonprofit’s activities and statistics for 2024.","The commission issued a proclamation recognizing Salvation Army Martinsburg’s local programs and heard the nonprofit’s 2024 service statistics including food, clothing and toy distributions.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6228451,"Berkeley County approves staff status changes and reappoints two to Development Authority",224,470905,695000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3473894-8cddd526b1497d5135030809a7ffdc5a&start=470&end=695","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3473894-8cddd526b1497d5135030809a7ffdc5a/thumbnail_470905.jpg","/articles/6228451/Berkeley-County/West-Virginia/Berkeley-County-approves-staff-status-changes-and-reappoints-two-to-Development-Authority","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6228451-0344b260c5b9f823b435bf63b443cdee/orig.mp4?Expires=1771035984&Signature=i6n6xl4zcyLrbY9NKBUjmh2cRreTtgLLCGU2WGXpTt6jJ3a5JTf23fzP8~SOLpaxyFMupD455cvObMmQOgQMWl1llTv491OqkdWN9yP9gWQqWg6ZIopD02aZqoexN-DuM9fTj-t7wup4c3YFDdj78kKMZujBwf7N3C~Q5sRh3u9M37SGKbgAZvWTOMTp87VXnOGlXMBdlYfgM9xbDk4RgoY7l02V5nQwqzBG0lW40RKuVsBbJ5U8RI2a7-UO-d20hNWFXVSVsgGrjjAmdd8GZPxPoVZdTvF8ZBf7OtjUAU0mhRSSjAMfYZL1c2HTeFnjrQThGLmrtrrQa4XBp-bx9Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Berkeley County Commission on May 12 recorded several personnel status changes and reappointed two members to the county’s Development Authority.
