The item was presented as unfinished business with a public hearing opened and closed during the same council meeting; no members of the public spoke for or against the rezoning during the hearing. The council then voted on the ordinance and the motion carried on final reading.

The council record notes the public hearing notice appeared in the official notice period, and council proceeded with the final vote following the hearing.

Because no public comments were recorded during the hearing and no conditions or amendments were added at final reading, the ordinance moves forward under the council’s standard legislative process.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Clarksburg City Council meeting - 06/26/2025","oneSentenceSummary","On second and final reading the Clarksburg City Council approved an ordinance to rezone property between Coleman Avenue and Baltimore Avenue from R-4 residential to I-1 industrial classification following a public hearing with no speakers.","taxTitle","Clarksburg, Harrison County, West Virginia","taxId",71270,"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},6184825,"Clarksburg council authorizes multiple fire-equipment purchases using congressional-directed funds",667,1708000,2375000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5086432-f15f8c60d06b1cd95707edcb3a4721e2&start=1708&end=2375","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5086432-f15f8c60d06b1cd95707edcb3a4721e2/thumbnail_1708000.jpg","/articles/6184825/Clarksburg/Harrison-County/West-Virginia/Clarksburg-council-authorizes-multiple-fire-equipment-purchases-using-congressional-directed-funds","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184825-d42b5dcc2a4979e5512ca0a1804e61d7/orig.mp4?Expires=1773590362&Signature=M6Ao3qLEKxXuw8WXkPUWznjiHWHSjLZDDiuKJPY-LyakxuxPqyTvEmx0PqzqBpIjtH9KYFNkcAHkGmlMqzLl1da7~ZyVC4~5ZyfRimHr6XmVM8AGfyd3ksgzh1IL5c0bEmvZnNl6kJo5t5B59-NFwr6ZDiPGq80WoLd3VTFa-gEnlNO6Iw-zmj-Nml1d-M8D-rFMPr45HwW1i1AgSMREDmndS2qJ4XXzG6RXRjt2wkjbFuZNDFH6Ho8N4nP17o~h189lzUnyXDYpLsQRvftz~8UMOTp7mL39vHnqFxdQZjIm184cAZoiAo17UCOGer9WqZ4JHtgsn0-LzjiWjBILrQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Clarksburg City Council authorized multiple purchases of fire and emergency-response equipment using congressionally directed spending (CDS) grant funds, record shows.

Council approved motions covering vehicles, portable radios, breathing systems, hazmat equipment and turnout gear during new-business agenda consideration. City staff said the items were listed in the CDS grant award but the city must obtain consent from the congressional office to reallocate funds among grant line items; staff said they had not yet received that confirmation. City staff also said prices must be locked in with vendors by the 30th of the month or the city risks higher costs.

On individual motions the council approved: four Ford F-150 vehicles to replace aging medical-response units (council approved a motion to purchase the vehicles and directed staff to seek competitive pricing among local dealerships); 25 portable units (regular units) at $74,127.15; a separate portable-radio order from Motorola at $158,619.25; a $52,000 award for cascade/breathing systems from Breathe and Air Systems; hazmat air-packs from Johnson's Fire Equipment in the amount of $108,000; and turnout gear totaling $59,380 for 12 sets from Atlantic (all amounts as listed in the meeting transcript and motion records).

Council members asked for clearer specifications and attachments for some line items; one council member said the vehicle specifications referenced in the memo were not attached to the packet. A staff member identified as Jimmy answered procedural questions and said the city planned to seek the lowest price from three dealerships for the vehicles. City staff said the grant covers 100% of the listed purchases if the congressional office permits internal reallocation; if the congressional office denies reallocation, the city may return to council with itemized motions or use local rescue-billing funds for shortfalls.

Councilmembers split on whether to approve aggregated purchases in a single resolution or move item-by-item. Ultimately the council voted to approve each item and directed staff to confirm the CDS office's permission and to provide detailed specifications and invoices in follow-up agenda materials.

The council’s actions allow staff to place orders pending confirmation from the CDS congressional office and receipt of final vendor quotes; staff emphasized deadlines to lock quoted prices.","Council approved a series of purchases — vehicles, radios/portables, breathing systems, hazmat equipment and turnout gear — to be funded by a congressional directed spending (CDS) grant, contingent on grant-office approval to reallocate line items and meet order deadlines.",{"_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},6184830,"Clarksburg council approves amended pay plan: 3% raises for employees under $70,000, $1,200 for higher salaries",695,1008000,1703000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5086432-f15f8c60d06b1cd95707edcb3a4721e2&start=1008&end=1703","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5086432-f15f8c60d06b1cd95707edcb3a4721e2/thumbnail_1008000.jpg","/articles/6184830/Clarksburg/Harrison-County/West-Virginia/Clarksburg-council-approves-amended-pay-plan-3-raises-for-employees-under-70000-1200-for-higher-salaries","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184830-efbd15ebcd40c142fe505481a82af80e/orig.mp4?Expires=1773590362&Signature=iHoX6C2Kif2ylJ62ZXeb90eJy5h0ofIwCIWPAGY8VSLB9g2Nn2qbLKEUecfxuZdEKIyEwZAc4sWVoFSUgLvVzFXWlNzpDWezlgxVQzJTYj1w~VaqKfsW9q8hjIebChO-R6r5Rm-awKLtZqXf48R2oyrx7IXMqaYZtLQBk7Zt2AG-2VGces2VEI7NboUYzw~srQ2duldzQmIsNQv3~1Rbnwn-~bIGLjgux~vc-Ds7R7Nr7J113hWQqkYZpwGZbv6~-g8uYrvrg7dC6eStM9yeB1OrhzWjUug1CyiO9xigtQzG-9Qph~q488It6GwbwExv9M~v8lCxqiWgSD6thnesOg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Clarksburg City Council on an amended final reading approved an ordinance establishing salaries and compensation for municipal officers and employees for fiscal year 2025–26.

Council members amended the ordinance at the meeting to provide a 3% pay increase for employees earning less than $70,000 and a flat $1,200 adjustment for employees earning above $70,000. Council then voted to approve the ordinance as amended.

The amendment was proposed during the ordinance's second and final-reading public hearing. Council members debated whether the change would be a substantial modification that required tabling until absent members could participate; two council members were not present for the vote. City staff warned that, without running the figures, it was not immediately clear how substantial the budgetary effect would be. One staff estimate discussed during debate said the originally proposed 3% across-the-board figure equated to roughly $240,000 in total payroll cost, though council members said the amendment would reduce that cost by excluding some higher-paid positions.

Council members who spoke in favor said the amendment would better target lower- and middle-income employees. Others said they wanted time to see detailed calculations before committing. A motion to table the item failed, the council adopted the amendment, and the amended ordinance passed on final reading.

The vote was announced from the dais as “Aye” and “Motion carries” after the final voice vote; the meeting transcript records that the amendment passed and that the ordinance as amended carried on final reading.

The council noted that any post–July 1 salary changes would require a budget revision and the city would need to process required paperwork within the first month of the fiscal year if adjustments affect appropriations. City staff said they would produce the detailed payroll calculations for council review at the next meeting.

The action concludes the council's formal consideration of the salary ordinance for FY 2025–26; staff will prepare implementing documents and any required budget amendments for the next steps.","The Clarksburg City Council approved final passage of an ordinance setting municipal pay for fiscal 2025–26 after amending the proposal to give a 3% increase to employees earning under $70,000 and a $1,200 adjustment for those earners above that threshold.","actionData","errors"]
