Morgantown approves consent agenda and CDBG action plan; Stacia Harper appointed to Parking Authority
Summary
At its June 2 meeting the Morgantown City Council approved a four-item consent agenda, adopted the FY2026 Community Development Block Grant annual action plan 6-0, and appointed Stacia Harper to the Morgantown Parking Authority by acclamation. Council also moved into a recess and voted to enter executive session under state code for litigation and personnel matters.
The Morgantown City Council approved a four-item consent agenda and adopted the fiscal year 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) annual action plan at its June 2 meeting.
Consent items approved on a single vote included budget revisions to the Morgantown Capital Escrow Fund and general fund, designation of authorized city agents for banking transactions, and bid call 2026-14-gw for the runway 1836 extension construction (5A). The consent agenda passed on a 6-0 roll call: Councilor Jody Hollings, Councilor Weezy Michael, Councilor Jenny Seline, Councilor Mark DS, Deputy Mayor Butcher and Mayor Danielle Trumbull voted yes.
Staff presented the CDBG annual action plan, which continues funding for projects already under way (lower Greenmont greenspace and reconstruction of Pennsylvania Avenue and Decker's Creek Avenue), maintains allocations for eligible nonprofit public services, and includes a pilot healthy-homes rehabilitation program in partnership with the housing authority. After brief discussion, the council approved the CDBG plan on a 6-0 roll call.
Earlier in the meeting a motion to appoint Stacia Harper to the Morgantown Parking Authority was moved and seconded; the transcript records the appointment as carried by acclamation (mover and seconder not named in the record).
Near the meetings end, a council member moved and a second was recorded to enter executive session pursuant to West Virginia Code 6-9A-4(b)(2)(A) to discuss potential or pending litigation, boards and commissions, and personnel matters; council recessed for that purpose.
What happens next: Members said packet materials and staff reports provide further details on the consent items and CDBG projects; those materials are public in the meeting packet, and bid and contract work will proceed through standard procurement procedures.
