Summary
At its April 15 meeting the Harrison County Commission approved a slate of routine items including a $5,000 sponsorship to a foundation, a $3,000 award for the Stonewood Firefighters Festival, a $750 grant to VFW Post 573, multiple budget revisions and a decision to replace the sidewalk in front of the courthouse.
The Harrison County Commission on April 15 approved several routine funding requests and budget motions, along with a plan to replace the sidewalk in front of the courthouse.
Funding and grants: The commission approved a $5,000 sponsorship request that appeared on the agenda as coming from the Hudson Pillar Fund Foundation; the representative who spoke did not give a personal name in the transcript. The agenda listed a $5,000 request from the Stonewood Volunteer Fire Department for its Stonewood Firefighters Festival; commissioners moved to approve $3,000 for that event. The commission also approved $750 to VFW Post 573 for the Richard Iquena run/walk event.
Budget and project approvals: The commission approved several project fund requisitions tied to the Charles Pointe/Northland Bay improvements and to Series 2019 a and b bonds for the Charles Point Economic Opportunity Development District; one bond line item was recorded in the transcript as $3,521. The commission approved budget revisions for port security, senior services and other county functions, and approved assessor and circuit clerk budget adjustments for FY 2025–26 as presented.
Sidewalks and travel: Commissioners discussed waiting for a city grant to fund full replacement of downtown sidewalks but voted to replace the sidewalk in front of the courthouse with plain concrete to reduce future breakage. The commission also approved travel requests for 9-1-1 staff to attend the statewide West Virginia 9-1-1 council meeting in Elkins.
What’s next: Routine items were approved by voice votes. Several agenda entries contained garbled or inconsistent figures in the transcript (see audit notes); the county clerk’s office and department staff will carry out the approvals as recorded and manage follow-up implementation.
