The Clay County Commission met in regular session Monday, Mar. 10 at 9 a.m. All three commissioners were in attendance: Commissioner David Schoolcraft, Commission President Joyce Johnson, and Commissioner Duane Legg.
Two items were tabled. The E911 Wrecker Rotation Service schedule was tabled because Logan Wrecking had not filed all necessary paperwork by this meeting. They were given five days to finish to remain in rotation. Karen Nicholas was to speak on behalf of the library but was not in attendance. Both items will be rescheduled.
The commission took care of routine business approving minutes from the previous meeting, approving bills and purchase orders, amending budget revisions, fixing erroneous assessments, appointing administrators and probating last wills and testaments.
The commission approved the annual memorandum of understanding with the WVU Extension Service that will extend Mike Shamblin’s office in the courthouse for another year.
The commission appointed William T. Bevins to the Clay County BDA and reinstated Chris Montville to the Clay County Ambulance Service.
With Kanawha County Ambulance withdrawing their management of Clay County Ambulance billing service, the commission approved Jan Care Ambulance LLC to handle the billing for Clay County going forward.
Commissioner David Schoolcraft announced that the annual Clay County Cleanup this year would take place on Apr. 26 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. across from Pierson Lumber as it has been in years past. Metal tire rims will be taken but all tires must be removed from rims before either will be accepted.
The next Clay County Commission regular meeting will be held Monday, March 24 at 9 a.m.
