Mayor Denny McGruder presented nominations to reappoint Dr. John Holloway to the Wheeling‑Ohio County Board of Health for a term expiring June 30, 2030. The council also nominated Kim McCluskey, Robert DeFrancis, Graham Burrick, Dr. David Jabbersack, Alicia Hardway and George Frasier to the Hall of Fame board for terms expiring June 30, 2031, and nominated Rabbi Joshua Leaf, Anthony Edmond and Dr. Emily Ward to the Human Rights Commission for terms expiring June 30, 2028. Council moved to approve the nominations and recorded the motion as approved.

The mayor read a proclamation recognizing Crittenton Services’ 130 years of service to women, children and families in West Virginia, noting the organization’s residential care services and its statewide reach. The council also read and adopted a proclamation declaring Friday, June 6, 2025, as Bridal and Wheeling Day, a community beautification and volunteer event focused this year on projects along the Wheeling Heritage Trail. The proclamation listed partner organizations and named local artists Vondell Bell, Amanda Carney and Mindy Yardborough as creators and leaders of the mural design for the event.

The proclamations were ceremonial and no formal policy changes or spending were attached. Council members and representatives from the honored organizations were invited forward for photographs following the presentations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting June 3, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Council approved reappointments to boards and issued proclamations recognizing Crittenton Services’ 130th anniversary and Bridal and Wheeling Day on June 6.","taxTitle","Wheeling, Ohio County, West Virginia","taxId",58658,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6217467,"Wheeling to open 34-space monthly lot at former Center Wheeling ramp; council chambers to be relocated during renovations",241,989000,1230000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3645637-95d27c24923d1cffd115c0d28214d2e1&start=989&end=1230","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3645637-95d27c24923d1cffd115c0d28214d2e1/thumbnail_989000.jpg","/articles/6217467/Wheeling/Ohio-County/West-Virginia/Wheeling-to-open-34-space-monthly-lot-at-former-Center-Wheeling-ramp-council-chambers-to-be-relocated-during-renovations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6217467-f76aaaf778546d726d7a35d162f6adab/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148546&Signature=bj1gorHjtk81KMKl3s2WfGufLh1aXZDElXRz6ijMcQGN9vuND93jLsEafOGTHtDgWqClpQD3bsa0ahw9P56vKpHJn1eEtgpiYZqpcfZ~IXdOtJ6BsnkKJJjN4YfdNJJrCVUXtqoWv7CO4C1SuZ3InpGaoZRfV6wFOX-sjUgkRHbLQbCdz43wdKWdF7Ava-RAkWMt61YAwqMsoIm7cSxs309eJPD8w-6LPcUWFgmGtrFZGY58tdAOTsW8oZOWqaKOuJAd0s2Xfb5KvQTWa6KSJcgC6bnXxA-gxZyTW56pmgZCGArCa4vut3aFaRjSvl18crlDC-kCAsl6VfikfLZh3g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","WHEELING, W.Va. — The city will open a temporary monthly parking area at the site of the former Center Wheeling parking structure and the council chamber will be unavailable for part of the summer while building renovations proceed, City Manager Heron told council on June 3.

Heron said the remaining ramp segment from the former structure — a concrete ramp from Market Street up to Chaplin Street — has been cleaned and partitioned to create roughly 34 monthly spaces. The city plans to offer the stalls as monthly parking at $40 per month and expects to have the area open by the end of the week or early next week; he said the city already has inquiries for about half of the spaces.

The city manager said the parking area is marked as a future development site and is intended as a temporary measure to help employee parking in the Center Wheeling area while development plans proceed. The ramp is in good condition but requires minor repairs before it opens.

Heron also reported ongoing renovations in the municipal building: ceiling and HVAC work is nearing completion on the second floor, and the first floor (council chambers area) will be the next to be undertaken. He said relocation of the finance department and the water and sewer department is likely while work proceeds, and the council chambers will not be available for a period of weeks to months this summer and into early fall. Meetings are expected to be held in a courtroom on another floor while renovations occur; the city will notify the public in advance of any room changes.

Mayor Denny McGruder noted the city will post related material and suggested the Wheeling Heritage website may host event or historical materials referenced during remarks. No formal council action was required; the report was informational.","City Manager Heron said the former Market/Chaplin ramp will be partitioned and opened for monthly parking (about 34 spaces at $40/month) to ease downtown employee parking pressure; he also warned council chambers will be unavailable during upcoming HVAC/ceiling renovations.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6217472,"Wheeling council approves multiple water and sewer contracts and authorizes revenue bond terms",932,670000,1602000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3645637-95d27c24923d1cffd115c0d28214d2e1&start=670&end=1602","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3645637-95d27c24923d1cffd115c0d28214d2e1/thumbnail_670000.jpg","/articles/6217472/Wheeling/Ohio-County/West-Virginia/Wheeling-council-approves-multiple-water-and-sewer-contracts-and-authorizes-revenue-bond-terms","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6217472-798f4c3f6df34f5d4fb74b5b79a529ba/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148546&Signature=TusyP~2HqqKrLMMCYO87QK1XMcvTlCdbZ0cdslFSxgrZhTB2O2e~dIqtALSZjZvCRi5d0ReEgOL3F11nAsN4XO0rBHaDIYCPZoVCh9c~gXbeqHVUwXw~5cn4thXtPSOjBYEHs7M~nLoMy~aM0uWMd8wDHjCKcpYeKfsUrCek2CIg6l~KJB67yqlW4ZdNpCrnt5hYH0YAdOZNFcmiG2fcphdTXT6ONIsVZGcTd1pL8un7c0upk24vaC6arXUx0Ib-qVxx56UBrH9phYndMkNGoD5DbjkD~fnL5Yu1Hl9c7NhbVAFwi-0-p5hIFryecilF9NZJDHbC-mZ2OhsmskY7KQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","WHEELING, W.Va. — The Wheeling City Council on June 3 approved a series of ordinances authorizing funding and contracts for water and sewer system work and ratified terms for a revenue bond to be sold to the West Virginia Water Development Authority.

Council adopted an ordinance authorizing the city manager to expend $40,000 with James Wake Construction Company (Weirton) for an extension of the Valley View storm and sanitary sewer project charged to ARPA. City staff commented the measure responds to complaints about material entering the storm sewer and is intended to fix the reported problem.

The council also voted to authorize $27,000 to Centrus (Kenosha, Wis.) for purchase/rental services for a centrifuge charged to the Water Pollution Control Division; $168,251 to Southern Corrosion (Roanoke Rapids, N.C.) for a water storage tank maintenance program (charged to the water department); and $148,340 to May Engineering (St. Clairsville, Ohio) for Phase 1 Nettle Avenue sewer improvements to be charged to WPCD, regular RCIP, and congressional directed spending allocation. Additional ordinances authorized routine chemical purchases for water operations and a range of abatement and demolition contracts, including:

• $148,533.76 with Semper Fi Paving for 2025 street reconstruction (CDBG).
• $39,006,600 with Atlas Environmental Management for painting flood‑damaged walls charged to the Water Pollution Control Division (amount as stated in meeting minutes).
• $498,000 with Reclaim Company LLC for abatement of Clay School (EPA grant: $374,375.96; regular RCIP: $123,624.04).
• $193,000 with ETCO of Lansing, Ohio for abatement and demolition (charged to ARPA).
• $160,235.70 with Miller Pipeline LLC for retiring 237 services citywide (water department).

Council approved a resolution authorizing payment of invoices related to flood‑damage services for the sewer plant repair and replacement project. In separate action, the council adopted a supplemental resolution that sets principal amount, maturity, redemption, interest and payment dates, and other terms for the combined waterworks and sewage system revenue bond Series 2025A and ratified the loan agreement and sale to the West Virginia Water Development Authority; the motion also designated a registrar, paying agent, and depository bank.

Most ordinances and resolutions were moved, seconded and approved with no extended debate recorded in the meeting minutes. Public Works staff member Bob spoke briefly about the Valley View sewer work, saying the ordinance will address material that had made its way into the storm sewer and fix the issue.

Several contract amounts and funding sources were read into the record; the meeting transcript lists each contract with its funding source (for example, ARPA, CDBG, RCIP, EPA grant, Water Pollution Control Division). The flood‑damage painting figure appears in the transcript as $39,006,600; the council record shows the amount as read but contains no additional discussion on that specific line item.","Council approved ordinances awarding contracts and purchases for water and sewer operations, authorized flood‑damage invoices and repairs, and ratified a revenue bond sale to the West Virginia Water Development Authority.",{"_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},6217477,"Wheeling council adopts 2025–26 levy estimate and approves budget amendments",470,1000000,1470000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3645637-95d27c24923d1cffd115c0d28214d2e1&start=1000&end=1470","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3645637-95d27c24923d1cffd115c0d28214d2e1/thumbnail_1000000.jpg","/articles/6217477/Wheeling/Ohio-County/West-Virginia/Wheeling-council-adopts-202526-levy-estimate-and-approves-budget-amendments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6217477-07cee729710aaeaf01204de1bd9b05d7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148546&Signature=gC7kLEP8w9UQLiIOsmI7RNYMgqyrgHCDxPXzRIAxKmQDnrG7-tixmoufsWc02HhaQJW2pZRNE5AxxtTaqPCllH2IlegFIRktWsWSBOS9cAjokoeZaMa5DS9dYevkGtizPHG9OxJzmgCuKTLWycz0CJHUFDydq9hX74KZqh-Oa0NG-gb21H3ZjbGf7zu4yJ04PYqZl~Ja6g0MtT3IKutAFLwtxMgnlkOKHbtxanogjIu36Qjn5as3RsF5ej7Ns9jPESyNkYpOA8q19RUrGkR0pc-VGCeeifoF5F3Qut5Yo5X9CYlMeDRzJ-wet6JdvWmNQFPAlz14JC0i12vbL-ZEOQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","WHEELING, W.Va. — The Wheeling City Council adopted the municipal levy estimate required by the West Virginia State Auditor and approved a package of budget amendments and related resolutions during its June 3 meeting.

The two-readings levy ordinance — the form the state auditor prescribes for the annual appropriation — passed after council voted to give it two readings and then to adopt the ordinance. Council also approved two resolutions revising the approved budget for FY2024–25 and amendments to the FY2025–26 general fund budget.

The levy estimate and amendments put the city’s fiscal year appropriation on record with the state auditor ahead of the June 13 submission deadline, City Manager Heron told council. The measure follows changes recommended by the finance committee earlier in the meeting.

Council approved the measures by voice or roll call votes; the meeting record shows the motions carried and were recorded as approved. No roll-call tallies were read into the public record during the adoption remarks.

The council also approved a “sweep” resolution relating to automatic bond payments to the municipal bond resolution and a supplemental resolution authorizing the terms and sale of combined waterworks and sewage system revenue bonds (Series 2025A) to the West Virginia Water Development Authority, which covers loan terms, maturity dates, and the designation of a paying agent and registrar.

The meeting record does not contain extended debate on the levy or the budget amendments; council members moved and seconded the measures and voted to approve them. Mayor Denny McGruder presided over the vote.

Looking ahead, the city will file the adopted levy estimate with the State Auditor before the statutory deadline, and bond documents tied to the water and sewer revenue bond will proceed as authorized by the council.","The Wheeling City Council on June 3 approved the municipal levy estimate required by the West Virginia State Auditor and adopted related budget amendments and resolutions for fiscal year 2025–26.","actionData","errors"]
