Council ratifies board appointments and approves several ordinances including vehicle purchases and rezoning
Summary
The council ratified reappointments and new board members, approved ordinances to purchase four 2026 Chevrolet vehicles and water equipment, and heard readings of transfers, insurance payments, and a rezoning request for a 6.962-acre parcel from R-2 to R-4.
The Wheeling City Council ratified several personnel appointments, approved multiple budget and procurement ordinances, and heard readings on transfers and a rezoning request during its regular meeting.
The mayor announced reappointments of Joyce Lohan and Storm Levy to the West Virginia Northern Home Consortium and introduced Daniel Hughes and Dave/Diane Thompson as new members of the Wheel and Tree Board; the council voted to ratify those appointments by voice vote.
On ordinances, the council adopted an authorization to purchase four 2026 Chevrolet Trailways at a stated amount of $172,564 and approved a $9,929 appropriation for water pollution control plant equipment. The clerk also read ordinances authorizing various transfers, funds to contractors for retired services, insurance payments (including workers' compensation and cyber security), and a rezoning request to change a 6.962-acre parcel from R-2 residential to R-4 residential; those items were announced for council action and some drew motions and voice approvals during the meeting.
The meeting record shows multiple routine votes to accept committee minutes (finance and GEOGSEA) and to adopt the ordinance readings presented. Specific contract awards, payment recipients, and the final details of the rezoning were referenced in the clerk's readings and will return to council as needed for formal adoption or further hearing.
