Summary
Council appointed two planning commissioners, approved grants and resolutions tied to the water project, awarded an audit contract, approved budget revisions, and passed first reading of an ordinance removing the sidewalk snow‑clearing section.
The Harpers Ferry Town Council’s Dec. 8 meeting featured a series of formal votes. Key actions included appointments, contract awards and funding approvals.
Appointments: Mike Zalicki was appointed to Planning Commission seat No. 1 after a roll‑call vote; Amanda McDaniel was appointed to seat No. 2. The chair read the roll for seat 1 and recorded individual votes; the motion to appoint Zalicki carried.
Grants and contracts: The council approved WTA grant change order number 4 and adopted Resolution 13 authorizing payments for the town water project (line items and funding sources read into the record). The council awarded the fiscal year 2025 auditor contract to Perry and Associates for $13,050; officials said a single audit was required because the town accepted more than $750,000 in federal funds this year.

The council gave first reading approval to Ordinance 2025‑06 to remove section 909.04 of the codified ordinances (the sidewalk snow‑clearing requirement); first reading passed and requires the next reading(s) to become final.
Personnel: After an executive session, the council voted to terminate a Harpers Ferry Water Works employee suspended on Oct. 23, 2025; the motion carried unanimously.
