Huntington City Council on July 2 reviewed the third reading of ordinance 2025‑O‑24 to authorize bonds for the Huntington Sanitary Board to proceed with construction of a wastewater treatment plant, and a related supplemental resolution (2025‑R‑91) that sets financing details for the bond series. No formal vote was taken during the work session; council will consider the items at the regular meeting and public hearing noted for 5(b).

Council member Mister Bracy told colleagues that the ordinance is “to allow the Huntington Sanitary Board to move forward with the wastewater treatment plant construction.” He said Mr. Stump was present to answer technical or financing questions.

Bracy further described the supplemental resolution as following “the actual bonding itself” and said it sets “the details of the series for our … wastewater treatment fund project,” adding that with council support the resolution would allow staff “to go forward and go to closing for the wastewater treatment plan.” Mister Stump was on the dais and available for questions but no substantive discussion or vote occurred during the work session.

Why it matters: The ordinance and the supplemental resolution govern the city’s approach to financing a major sewer infrastructure project and set the procedural path toward closing. Council members and staff framed the items as bond-financing actions that will return to the council for formal action and public hearing.

No formal motions, mover/second, or vote tallies were recorded in the work session transcript for either the ordinance (2025‑O‑24) or the supplemental resolution (2025‑R‑91). The council will consider the ordinance and the supplemental resolution at the upcoming regular meeting/public hearing.

For the record: Mr. Stump was identified in the meeting as the technical/financial resource present to answer questions about the financing; no bond closing date was specified in the work session record.
