Huntington council approves new business licenses, accepts community-center exterior repair bid
Summary
Council approved multiple business licenses—including Thunder Athletics, Exterior Solutions, Gas Stop Huntington (BK's), BMR Services, and Swell Health Center—and accepted a $4,820 exterior-repair bid from Jed Black for the Huntington Community Center.
Huntington — At its Nov. 19 meeting, the Huntington City Council approved several local business licenses and accepted a repair bid for the Huntington Community Center.
Councilmembers approved separate motions to license Thunder Athletics (buyer of Lorraine's Dance Studio), Exterior Solutions (handyman service), Gas Stop Huntington (referred to as BK's at 506 N. Main St.), BMR Services (contract labor and equipment operations), and Swell Health Center (a medical services practice seeking additional providers). Each license was approved by voice vote after motions and seconds recorded on the floor.
On public facilities, the council reviewed a bid from Jed Black to repair exterior windows and doors at the Huntington Community Center to prevent water intrusion. The bid was stated in the record as $4,820 for exterior work; council accepted the bid under the council's under-$5,000 procurement threshold and voted to proceed. Council members noted interior repairs (sheetrock, painting and potential mold/rot removal) would be a larger scope and require separate bids.
Council members said they had inspected the issues and agreed the exterior repairs were time-sensitive given recent rains. The council approved the exterior bid by voice vote and asked staff to advertise for bids on any larger interior remediation.
The council did not adopt any new licensing conditions on the floor beyond issuing the licenses and accepting the community-center exterior repair bid.
The accepted license approvals and the community-center contract are recorded in the meeting minutes; staff will complete follow-up licensing paperwork and issue the community-center repair purchase order.
