Summary
The commission approved a petition to annex 1.68 acres near the Cabin Funeral Home into the City of Hurricane at the request of Putnam County Bank; a commissioner recused and Brian Ellis served as president for that portion of the meeting.
Putnam County commissioners approved a petition to annex 1.68 acres of property adjacent to Cabin Funeral Home into the corporate limits of the City of Hurricane. The annexation petition was joined by Putnam County Bank, which purchased the property and seeks city jurisdiction for a future bank site.
County staff explained the annexation was filed in accordance with West Virginia Code 8‑6‑4 and that the petitioner certified compliance with the statutory requirements. The county’s mapping department confirmed the parcel can be reflected on county maps under the proposed jurisdictional change. The commission motioned to approve the annexation (project number 2019102), appointed Commissioner Brian Ellis as president for that portion of the meeting while a commissioner recused for reasons related to the city’s management, and the motion carried with an affirmative vote.
The record includes staff description of the property, the statutory citation (West Virginia Code 8‑6‑4) and the commissioners’ action to sign the annexation order and associated documents.
