Commission appoints New Haven PSD member, directs counsel on PSD matters and authorizes opioid‑settlement signature
Summary
After an executive session where no decisions were made publicly, the commission appointed Mr. Steiner to the New Haven PSD board, directed legal counsel on Gauley River PSD items, instructed adding accountability clauses to hazard mitigation leases, declined certain lease requests for trespass concerns, and authorized the commission president to sign opioid settlement documents.
The commission went into executive session to discuss board appointments, hazard mitigation leases and opioid settlement documents; it announced on return that no decisions were made in the closed session, but proceeded with several formal actions in open session.
Commissioner Taylor Metz moved to appoint Mr. Steiner to the New Haven PSD board; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The commission also directed its attorney to proceed with actions concerning the Gauley River PSD as discussed in executive session. On hazard mitigation leases, the commission moved to have the prosecuting attorney incorporate accountability clauses into lease language and then voted not to approve certain lease requests due to documented trespass or refusal to vacate by applicants.
Finally, the commission voted to follow counsel's advice on the opioid settlement documents and authorized the commission president to sign the settlement paperwork. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that passed by voice vote.
