Commission signs annual order designating banking institutions under West Virginia Code §7-6-1
Summary
The Putnam County Commission entered a required annual order designating the banks the sheriff may use to deposit public funds, aligning with a statutory deadline change to June 30.
The Putnam County Commission entered an order, as required by state law, designating the banking institutions the sheriff may use for deposit of public money.
County legal staff explained that West Virginia Code §7-6-1 requires the county commission to record annually which banks the sheriff may use. The statute’s deadline was noted as having changed from June 13 to June 30 of each year; the county prepared an order reflecting the designation and presented it for signature.
Why it matters: The order fulfills a statutory duty that determines where the sheriff may deposit public funds and is required annually under state law.

The commission did not record a roll-call tally; the item was adopted by voice vote and staff will file the signed order as part of county records.
