Wheeling council approves multiple CDBG grants to local nonprofits
Summary
The council adopted a slate of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 2025 public‑services expenditures to local nonprofits, approving agreements for food, transitional living, literacy and other programs. One council member recorded a nay on several items; vote counts were recorded in minutes where specified.
Wheeling — The Wheeling City Council on Oct. 21 approved multiple ordinances authorizing the city manager to enter into agreements and expend Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 2025 public‑services funds to a group of local nonprofits.
Ordinances approved at the meeting allocate funds (amounts as listed in council minutes) to the following organizations: Path of Charities for food and food containers (amount not to exceed $10,000); Family Services of the Upper Ohio Valley for food and food containers (not to exceed $20,000); Greater Wheeling Homeless Coalition for utilities for a transitional living facility and program supplies (not to exceed $14,700); House of the Carpenter for supplies for a reading program (not to exceed $10,000); Seeing Hand Association for workshop supplies (not to exceed $4,600); a line-item for the Soup Kitchen of Greater Wheeling (amount in the transcript was not clear and is recorded here as not specified); YMCA scholarship program (not to exceed $5,000); Wheeling Health Right for pharmaceuticals, dental and medical supplies (not to exceed $25,000); and Russell Nesbitt Services Inc. for walk‑in showers and group home work (not to exceed $25,000).
Most motions were approved by voice vote. Councilman Palmer was recorded as voting nay on at least one item; councilors Seidler and Palmer were recorded voting nay on a separate vote, per the clerk’s announcement in the minutes. When a roll call was not taken, minutes note voice votes and, where recorded, the clerk documented nay votes by name. The council did not discuss substantive policy changes to the CDBG program during the items; questions raised were limited to clarifications such as the target population for the Greater Wheeling Homeless Coalition allocation, which staff described as serving young adults aging out of foster care.
Provenance: The ordinances and votes are recorded in the minutes as a block of unfinished business beginning at 00:10:24; individual ordinance text and votes appear at successive minute entries.
