Grant County Commission meets in executive session over lease with Seneca Rocks authority; no action taken

The Grant County Commission convened a special meeting at 12:00 p.m. June 11 in the courthouse conference room to discuss a lease agreement between the Seneca Rocks Regional Development Authority and Grant County 911. President Tyson K. Riggleman called the meeting to order, and county officials and attorneys were recorded as present in the minutes.

Prosecuting Attorney John Ours, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Bradley Goldizen and OEM/911 Director Peggy Alt appeared before the commission to discuss the lease, according to the official minutes. The body then agreed to go into an executive session under West Virginia Code §6-9A-4 “to discuss” the matter; the minutes record: “A motion was made to go into Executive Session - WV Code 6-9a-4.”

The minutes show the commission later voted to exit the executive session “with no action taken.” The entry reads: “A motion was made to exit Executive Session with no action taken. MOTION: Miley / unanimously approved.” The special meeting record concludes with a motion to adjourn that was recorded as approved by President Riggleman. The minutes were attested and approved on June 23, 2026, by Clerk Lora Bennett.

The minutes do not include details of the lease terms discussed, identify a mover for the initial motion to enter executive session, or record any formal vote on the lease itself. Because the discussion occurred in executive session and the public minutes state no action was taken, the commission did not adopt or reject any lease terms at that meeting.

Those listed in the minutes as present were President Tyson K. Riggleman, Commissioner Scotty W. Miley, Commissioner Kevin P. Hagerty, Administrator Michelle Sites, Prosecuting Attorney John Ours, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Bradley Goldizen, OEM/911 Director Peggy Alt and Clerk Lora Bennett. No additional decisions or directions were recorded in the public minutes.
