During the meeting the commission recorded a motion to hire “Jamie Neely” as director of humane and shelter operations with a start date of 05/26/2025 and later the transcript records a motion approving hiring “Kaylee Nelian” with a start date of May 27, 2025. Both motions are reflected in the record as approved by voice vote; the transcript does not show a roll-call, nor does it clarify whether both names refer to the same person, a transcription error, or two separate actions.

Because the record presented in the transcript is internally inconsistent on the candidate’s name, the commission’s formal minutes or HR records should be consulted to determine the correct appointee and the official start date. The commission’s action, as recorded, authorized hiring for the animal-shelter director role to begin in late May 2025. The meeting did not include details about salary, contract terms, or reporting structure for the new director.

The item was handled under the animal-shelter personnel agenda and approved by voice vote without further public discussion during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Hancock Commission 5 22 25","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved hiring a director for humane and shelter operations with a start date in late May 2025; the meeting transcript contains two different names for the hire and does not clearly resolve which individual was approved.","taxTitle","Hancock County, West Virginia","taxId",12449,"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},6227532,"Commission codifies recent insurance changes in county employee policy manual",60,418000,478000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3490547-61d5e4b896632e216dd661eced3b8916&start=418&end=478","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3490547-61d5e4b896632e216dd661eced3b8916/thumbnail_418000.jpg","/articles/6227532/Hancock-County/West-Virginia/Commission-codifies-recent-insurance-changes-in-county-employee-policy-manual","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6227532-7467d1eb44caa4dbd4f6bea3e8846791/orig.mp4?Expires=1771177731&Signature=cgSU~UuGLk1ERBmrb2R032~cH7z0LxyCBddt~ZufcuYkV9UPm-Xh5VTQYsz1~U4tyfJlDbnnRgS4PtuA4hvfsKxQvZTLEptsCiRtygof1cCWq3jD6I0TN73-yw4XnaQi2HUCNvwdWFogzmI1u6gud8LYC~kKYAOsFR8nHasAwiaNU6WmdswG9rrVF6RfcYIVMBPw~pC8Rq6OaAqYSsIezbwGlv-stbXQqC8v-CzZhWlz32IjzfsI5peFJahLRyX8ZtY2m4~qAQcVtiK9vHKHewKjBtZCNEvjvPKBjnLQe9wJIJusz1kYYfEOZ7QnWBXI2Ti2VCFcdV1weUGSEguq0Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Hancock County commissioners approved revisions to the county employee policy manual that formalize recent clarifications about employee insurance coverage and a supplemental plan the county has been offering.

Officials said the update codifies actions the commission and staff had already taken regarding insurance coverage. The motion to approve the manual change passed by voice vote with no further recorded discussion.

A staff member described the revision as codifying the supplemental plan and clarifying employee insurance coverage. The transcript does not state the cost to the county, which employees are eligible beyond the general description, or changes to benefits levels; no roll-call vote or opposing comments were recorded.

The item was presented during the agenda under personnel and approved as an administrative update to the manual.

County officials said the commission approved the procurement bid at an earlier session and the current action was to approve the formal contract with AST for installation and related equipment.

The commission considered the contract during general business and approved it by voice vote. A commissioner noted the bid had been approved at the prior meeting and that this agenda item represented the formal contract approval; no roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript and no contract dollar amount was stated.

The contract covers installation of cameras and an anti-alarm system; the meeting record did not specify which county facilities will receive the equipment or the total contract value. Commissioners gave the approval without extended discussion.

The contract approval was taken as a distinct procurement action from other items on the agenda and moves the county toward installation of electronic security systems pending contract implementation by the responsible department.","Hancock County approved a contract with Advanced Securities Technology (AST) to install a camera and alarm system after previously approving the bid at an earlier meeting.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6227540,"Hancock County commissioners adopt standardized FOIA request form",22,395000,417000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3490547-61d5e4b896632e216dd661eced3b8916&start=395&end=417","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3490547-61d5e4b896632e216dd661eced3b8916/thumbnail_395000.jpg","/articles/6227540/Hancock-County/West-Virginia/Hancock-County-commissioners-adopt-standardized-FOIA-request-form","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6227540-40f20bc876b5726162477d79c9c0cdea/orig.mp4?Expires=1771177731&Signature=c7XH2JOq-HavocBkPO0yTugDzmGCdoNAQjlptdjQ6kCk91-E7u1qlqaPk4sXbIB~uZG2TxNoRe3eZNxvRHIRNDlq8rskQskedjbCfWUwURfLfYnjp95nNjmDEuLTwM9lyN9w0dygv9SE7p-D-4sXluKpiTiRjW1w5CbiqrBqOvw2NcK9EtPvP764TRabfXWCdcMrhkU~VVUS4HzQaOgSuqhsWNGybHCNVFJFYoZ2B5int3msKMSghzu8RRH4GGQc8OVMlA7e24p-OgMbvyIRRLzkYGz8umUQ~rNQomZrFfuxWtU5~B0dCj6gfGFv8~5urRj-DxOMTm893GlnYtAk4w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hancock County Commission on an unanimous voice vote approved a standardized Hancock County Freedom of Information Act request form to formalize how the public requests county records.

The action establishes a single, county-approved form for submitting FOIA requests; officials said the county previously had no standardized written form for those requests.

Commission members moved the item during the meeting and approved it without recorded roll-call votes. A staff member noted the county had not previously had a “formalized or standardized form” and presented the proposed document for adoption. After brief acknowledgment there was no further discussion and the commission voted “Aye.”

The change is administrative: the form standardizes how members of the public request records but the commission did not attach any new fees, timelines beyond existing law, or substantive changes to public-records law during the vote. The county did not provide further detail in the meeting about where the new form will be posted; a commissioner said approved packets and documents are made available on the county website after approval.

The meeting record shows the commission took the action during general business following unanimous consent to move to that agenda item. The item was approved during the open meeting; next regular commission meeting was announced for June 12 at 2:30 p.m.","The Hancock County Commission approved a standardized Freedom of Information Act request form by unanimous consent, creating a formalized process for public records requests.","actionData","errors"]
