The Monongalia County Commission on Nov. 12 approved its consent agenda and several financial actions, including a requisition to transfer $1,072,008.18 to WesBanco for a bond payment and reimbursement requests for two grants.
County Administrator Reneta McClure read the consent items and totals, which included multiple voucher batches and payroll amounts; the aggregate voucher total was recorded in the meeting as approximately $3,000,703.55 and payroll was listed at about $2,159,002.00. The board moved and approved the consent agenda by voice vote.
During new business, the commission approved requisition number 108 for the University Town Center Economic Opportunity Development District subaccount, reflecting October sales‑tax collections and a transfer of $1,072,008.18 to WesBanco for bond payment. A commissioner noted collections were about 19% above last year. The commission also approved grant reimbursement requests: a Community Development Block Grant reimbursement of $3,661 and a "Sauchie" grant reimbursement of $22,587.19, which were moved and approved as presented.
The board approved issuing an RFP to obtain annual audit support as directed by the West Virginia State Auditor’s Office; commissioners moved to send the RFP to at least three certified public accounting firms on the appointed list. The commission also approved $10,000 for the Upper Monongahela River Association to support lock operations, consistent with prior years and coordinated with Marion County.
Separately, the commission approved additional compensation for the county assessor based on a certificate of compliance received from Kent Leonhardt of the West Virginia Department of Agriculture and cited state statute as the authority; the additional amount was recorded in the meeting as roughly $5,006.79 and described as 10% of the assessor's salary in accordance with the cited statute.
Votes on these measures were taken by voice and recorded as carried; the transcript does not provide a roll‑call tally for these items or show any dissenting votes.
