Hancock County Commission approves mural, intergovernmental MOUs, hires and routine bills
Summary
Commissioners approved the America 250 mural design, memoranda of understanding with Chester, New Cumberland and Weirton for DEP/REAP/DLAP funds, an RFP for a health department garage (funded by a congressionally directed spending grant), multiple personnel actions including hires and a resignation acceptance, and general county bills totaling $94,415.46.
At the Feb. 12 meeting the Hancock County Commission approved a package of administrative items including a county mural design, intergovernmental memoranda, construction procurement, appointment and personnel matters, and routine bills.
The commission approved the America 250 mural design presented by Rachel Keeney of the regional Convention and Visitors Bureau; the commission praised the design and noted deadlines for imagery submission. The commission also approved memoranda of understanding with the cities of Chester, New Cumberland and Weirton to enable cooperative use of DEP, REAP or DLAP funds so that those grants do not go unused.
The commission authorized advertising a request for proposals for a garage at the Hancock County Health Department; members said the work would be funded by a congressionally directed spending grant attributed in the meeting to Senator Capito and that project details are in commissioners’ packets.
Personnel and appointments approved included acceptance of Bob Notney’s resignation as dog warden/humane officer effective Feb. 20, 2026, authorization to advertise the vacancy, reappointment of Del Wright to the Hancock County Public Service District, hiring of Lee Ann Hawthorne as a part-time office assistant effective Feb. 19, 2026, hiring Jeff McIntyre as a security bailiff effective Feb. 15, 2026, approval to pay Sheena Connors for 178 hours of accrued vacation/personal days, and hiring Carissa Napier as tax deputy effective Feb. 17, 2026.
Finance items approved included animal shelter reports, levy fund requisitions, and general county bills totaling $94,415.46 and P-card charges totaling $29,002.36. Finance and probate items were reviewed and recommended for approval.
Next steps: procurement and hiring processes proceed under department jurisdiction; the commission will consider any further administrative follow-up at future meetings.
