Commissioners approve multiple requisitions, a SAKI reimbursement and a financial advisor contract
Summary
The Monongalia County Commission approved a range of budget items, including a SAKI grant reimbursement request, a financial advisor agreement with Cruz and Associates, and several requisitions for University Town Center and other district funds (Requisition No. 112 recorded in the meeting as $821,604.84).
At the March 11 meeting, Monongalia County commissioners approved a series of routine and recurring budgetary and contract items, including a grant reimbursement, a financial advisor contract and several requisitions tied to the University Town Center and other district funds.
A presenter identified as Colin requested reimbursement for the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI) grant for February 2026; the amount was read in the record with unclear formatting (quoted as $20,44.7 in the transcript). Commissioners moved and approved the reimbursement request.
The board approved a financial advisor agreement with Cruz and Associates Inc.; the motion was moved and seconded and carried by the board. Commissioners also approved multiple requisitions for the University Town Center (UTC) accounts: Requisition No. 112 for the UTC Economic Opportunity Development District sub-account was read in the record as $821,604.84 and was approved after the board asked MUNAP to double-check the somewhat lower-than-expected amount. Additional administrative requisitions for the UTC excise tax district and the UTC Series 2023A property tax district (Requisition Nos. 117 and 34) were approved as presented.
The commission also approved smaller requisitions and invoices, including a $790.89 administrative expense for Morgantown Industrial Park Phase 2 (paid to Stephen Johnson) and professional invoices related to Harmony Grove Phase 1 (Series 2021B).
Why it matters: The actions authorize payment for projects and administrative services that support local development districts, grant reimbursements and professional services. One requisition (No. 112) is a sizeable payment for the UTC Economic Opportunity Development District and prompted staff follow-up to confirm the figure.
Next steps: County staff will reconcile approved requisitions with invoices and follow up with MUNAP to confirm requisition calculations where noted in the meeting. The financial advisory contract will be routed to administrative staff for execution.
