Monongalia County approves UTC requisition, moves dilapidated properties to complaint stage, releases fleet RFP and signs off on grants
Summary
The Monongalia County Commission on Feb. 12 approved requisition 99 for the UTC Economic Opportunity Development District subaccount, authorized multiple grant reimbursements, moved two abandoned properties to the complaint stage, and released an RFP for fleet management services. All recorded motions carried by unanimous voice vote.
The Monongalia County Commission on Feb. 12 approved a package of financial, enforcement and procurement actions during its regular meeting.
Requisition 99: The commission approved requisition 99 for the UTC (University Town Center) Economic Opportunity Development District subaccount in the amount of $1,199,615.27. County staff said the total amount collected this month was $1,311,715.24, the second-highest monthly collection in the 99 months of requisitions, and that collections are up about 1.15% year-over-year.
Grant reimbursements and consent items: Colleen (office manager) presented reimbursement requests that the commission approved, including a Governor’s Highway Safety Program Safe Communities reimbursement for $1,290.87; an impaired driving reimbursement for $2,985.42; a Purpose Area 1 grant reimbursement for $24,463.01; and a Purpose Area 3 grant reimbursement for $14,107.43. The commission approved those items as part of the consent agenda.
Abandoned and dilapidated properties: The commission approved a request from the county’s Abandoned and Dilapidated Property Enforcement Agency to move two properties to the complaint stage under county ordinance 2004-01: District 5, Map 4, Parcel 2 (partial), Grafton Road; and District 8, Map 11G, Parcel 19303908 (Earl Elcor Road). Alex R. Hall, litter control officer, reported the properties had previously received violation notices and that no owner appeared at scheduled hearings; one owner had died out of state and the property remains in that person’s name, so the agency will mark it inactive pending identification of a successor owner.
Fleet management RFP: The commission released RFP 2025MCC001, “Monongalia County Fleet Management Services,” to replace the county’s 2017 fleet-financing arrangement and to seek additional value-added services. The RFP timeline given in the meeting record: pre-bid conference scheduled, final deadline for questions by the 11th (month not specified in transcript), proposals due March 19, anticipated award April 9, and ordering of vehicles expected within 30–60 days after award. The county said the new contract will aim to preserve motor-pool functions while adding services such as roadside assistance and expanded acquisition flexibility.
Other correspondence and reports: Commissioners received a January 2025 warming-shelter statistics report from Catholic Charities and a year-2024 Mon County Impact Fund report from the York Community Foundation summarizing grants and scholarships distributed from a county-supported endowment (the foundation reported roughly $1,400,000 in grants and scholarships). The commission also received notice from the City of Morgantown’s development services department about a rezoning and variance request for a property discussed at prior meetings.
All recorded motions referenced in the meeting minutes were moved, seconded and approved by unanimous voice vote unless noted otherwise. Several of the items approved require follow-up administrative steps, including submission of paperwork to state agencies and the release of an RFP for public bid.
