The Town of Nutter Fort council unanimously approved the FY 2025‑2026 Coal Severance Budget Revision #1 after a brief review and without questions; the motion was made by Councilor Charlene Louk and seconded by Councilor Shawn Spurlock.
Council also authorized a request for proposals for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 audit, following its usual practice of soliciting quotes from accounting firms. Later in the meeting the council entered an executive session under West Virginia Code §6‑9A‑4 to discuss a related audit matter. After reconvening, Councilor Charlene Louk moved — and Councilor Rick Lafferty seconded — a motion directing staff to research third‑party forensic‑audit options, define the potential audit scope, identify available firms, and estimate costs. A roll call recorded unanimous 'Yes' votes from Councilors Rick Lafferty, Charlene Louk, Recorder Natalie Haddix, Councilor Karen Phillips, and Councilor Shawn Spurlock. Staff is to return with findings for council consideration.
