Council holds second reading on transferring small right-of-way strip to West Virginia Division of Highways
Summary
During a work session, Huntington council heard a second reading of Ordinance 2025‑O‑02 to transfer a non‑controlled‑access right‑of‑way strip near the Huntington Housing Authority to the West Virginia Division of Highways; no final vote was recorded in the transcript.
Huntington — The Huntington City Council held the second reading of Ordinance 2025‑O‑02, which would authorize the mayor to execute a deed transferring a non‑controlled‑access right‑of‑way from the city to the West Virginia Division of Highways.
Scott Damron, acting city attorney, described the parcel as “a strip of land that is about 3 50 feet wide and 10 feet deep along the Huntington Housing Authority property, ... acquired by the City of Huntington from the Huntington Housing Authority for the Howe Greer project.” He told council the strip is now maintained by the state and “the parties agree that it would be best that this, at least a non controlled access ... an easement be transferred from the city to the division of highways.”
The transfer would move maintenance and control of that portion of right‑of‑way to the state. The transcript shows the item was presented for a second reading; the record in the provided transcript does not include a final council vote or motion to adopt the ordinance.
Because the transcript records only the second reading and explanatory remarks, council action (adoption, amendment, or rejection) is recorded here as not specified pending the final vote. Questions on the item were invited by Damron, but no further discussion appears in the provided transcript.
