Nutter Fort reports City Hall basement flooding, ongoing snow response; WesBanco closure noted

City Hall staff reported that a water tank ruptured and flooded the basement; new drains and a water shutoff valve were installed and helped minimize damage. Staff also replaced a leaking toilet, and documented heating loss tied to cracked single-pane windows that need repair. Council chambers remodeling is nearing completion, pending weather.

Council and staff reported extensive snow-removal operations since the prior Saturday. Public Works and the Fire Department assisted a resident with ice and snow buildup; the minutes said the current snow blower is inefficient for ice removal and the town is considering purchasing a small V-blade for sidewalk clearing. Council praised Public Works for their efforts.

The treasurer reported WesBanco is officially closed; the town is using a scanner provided by the bank to perform remote check deposits. Mayor and treasurer met with WesBanco leadership; bank rules were noted that generally restrict selling the bank building to another bank for five years, though a waiver may be possible depending on financial terms.

Recorder Natalie Haddix summarized interdepartmental cooperation and urged a positive focus: "We always hear the bad, but it is very important to focus on the good as well."
