Monongalia County approves multiple requisitions, applies for emergency management grant
Summary
At its May 28 meeting the Monongalia County Commission approved requisitions including a $72,007.27 administrative expense payment for Harmony Grove phase 1 and an approximately $1.2 million requisition tied to University Town Center bonds; staff filed an application for a FY23 emergency management preparedness grant of $147,175.
The Monongalia County Commission approved several financial requisitions and authorized a grant application during its May 28 session.
Colleen, the county grant coordinator and office manager, presented an application for the Emergency Management Preparedness Grant (FY23) requesting $147,175; commissioners moved and approved the application and associated assurances required by the grant program.
The commission approved requisition number 15 for the Series 2020–21B Harmony Grove Phase 1 administrative expense fund in the amount stated in the meeting as $72,007.27 to be paid to Steptoe & Johnson for work on the 2025 restructuring of Harmony Grove TIF bonds and a recent boundary adjustment.
The commission also approved requisitions related to the University Town Center bond projects. During the meeting commissioners approved a requisition described in the record as $1,200,000 to be paid to RMWC Piper Canyon (the item was discussed as part of UTC series 2023 bond funding). The record also shows the commission addressed a larger UTC requisition labeled “number 1,” described at one point in the discussion as 14,000,000 and listing a group of payees including Somerset Bank and Trust, RMWC Piper Canyon, SMBC Capital Markets, Larson Design Group, Bailey Glasser, and a number of consultants and contractors; the meeting transcript contains moments of agenda-item numbering confusion that were corrected by motion during the session and the commission subsequently approved the requisitions by voice vote.
The commission recorded standard consent approvals for personnel, vouchers and minutes earlier in the meeting by voice vote, and acknowledged correspondence from a developer (WODA/WOODA Cooper Development Inc.) regarding an affordable housing tax credit notice for Cedar Glen.
Motions to approve the listed requisitions and the grant application were seconded and adopted by voice vote; the transcript records “all in favor, aye.” The meeting record does not show roll-call tallies for the votes taken.
The commission did not attach additional conditions or funding contingencies to the approved items in the meeting record.
