I was at today’s special session of the Marshall County Commission, it started at 9 a.m. here’s what happened. #folkreporter @FolkReporters 1/

There were 13 people in attendance today. Commissioners whispered to each other only twice this time (yes I do keep count). 2/

Public Comment: someone from Grand Vue Park updated the commission on what’s been going on/ coming up for the summer. He said the pool should be open between June 9th and 15th. Talked about other things going on at the park and expects it to be busy this year. 3/

The Commission reappointed Commission President, Mike Ferro, to another five year term on the MC Public Library Board. 4/

Wreaths Across America made a funds request for the upcoming fiscal year, this was tabled until July when the Commission would be working with FY 2024 funds. 5/

A Moundsville Middle student received an honorable mention for an essay she wrote about the Commission. She read her essay to the Commission/ audience and was presented with an honorable mention certificate and $50 check. 6/

Dr. Shelby Haines, Superintendent of Marshall County Schools, and Rob Chavanak, Principal of Moundsville Middle were both in attendance for the presentation. 7/

Insurance for Courthouse employees for the upcoming year was approved. There was a larger cost increase this year than in past years, 12.2% (just under $500,000). In the previous year, there were 15 catastrophic claims (claims over $50,000). 8/

There were no increases for dental, vision, and life insurance. 9/

The Commission approved $33,000 in late payment penalties to the IRS for 2022. This should be the last penalty for 2022 (there were two before this). I will be reaching out to find out how much the first two penalties cost, and will update when I have an answer. 10/

A bid was accepted for the new Health Department. Two bids were placed, one for $8.9 million from Grae-con, and one for $11 million from SQP. The Grae-con bid was accepted. 11/

The June 6th meeting of the Commission was canceled and moved to June 13th at 9 a.m. 12/

The Commission adjourned at 9:24 a.m. 13/

A reminder that dollar amounts are rounded and not exact amounts. 14/
