MAYOR’S AWARDS AND PROCLAMATIONS
Mayor
Harris requested that the
individuals that were present from the Weirton Steel 25 Year Club approach the
podium.
Mayor
Harris commented, “We would like to
recognize the Weirton Steel 25 Year Club for helping with the Christmas lights
in conjunction with the Weirton Area Chamber of Commerce. The members of the Weirton Steel 25 Year Club
have been volunteering their time for over 10 years by replacing burnt out
bulbs and checking the wiring in order for the City of Weirton’s electricians to hang at the Christmas
Holiday Season. For all of your hard
work and dedication, you deserve this special recognition and Mayor’s Award. You guys can all come forward and get a
picture. Thank you very much.
APPLAUSE
Ms. Mull
commented, “I don’t know, at the
Chamber of Commerce how we could do it any way else. We appreciate and thank you very much. You do a fantastic job. We love it.
Thank you so very much.

CITIZEN COMMENTS
Brenda Mull Weirton Chamber of
Commerce:
Re: Fort
Steuben Bridge
Ms. Mull
commented, “Mayor and Councilman,
thank you for having me here today. I’ve
got to go with the voice, so I’ll try to make it so you can understand me. I speak on behalf of the Weirton Area Chamber
of Commerce and our membership. And, I
basically just wanted to talk about the resolution that you’re going to be
presenting on the bridge situation today.
Our main concern is commerce as probably, I hope is everyone else’s. Businesses need to know that they can get
back and forth across the Ohio River as
needed. If the Fort
Steuben Bridge
comes down in 2009 as they projected, and the Market
Street Bridge
is need of repairs as they say it is, I guess our concern is, can the Veteran’s
Memorial Bridge handle adequately the extra
traffic as well as the ramps on that bridge as well. If not, that could be a potential
problem. I think everyone is starting to
notice that there’s some construction going on the Veteran’s Bridge. Hopefully, whatever is going on on that
bridge is going to be rectified and corrected and that bridge will be as sound
as we all want it to be. Any time we
lose a bridge such as the Fort
Steuben Bridge,
it does create a problem to have one less, so that could be a concern for us in
the area. I know there’s some talk about
another bridge possibly in the future. I
guess our concern, what ours should be, that wherever that location tends to be
that it’s proper in thought and consideration goes into that major decision.”
Mayor
Harris thanked Ms. Mull.
Dennis Jones Weirton Area Museum
and Cultural Center:
Re: City of Weirton
History Game
Mr. Jones
commented, “At this time I’d like
to present to the City their copy of the Weirton Area History Game. We’re starting to distribute it to the
sponsors. We had 64 sponsors for the
game. We’ve been putting it together for
a couple of years now, and we’re rolling it out slowly. But, we’d like to give it to the City
officials first for review and comment.
And, we’re also going to try to get it out to some of the people that’s
already prepaid for it too.”
Mayor
Harris commented, “I looked at it
very quickly this morning. My wife, I’m
actually glad she liked it. She couldn’t
wait for it to get done. And, you guys
worked hard on that, I know. And, also,
the CD, now, did you guys redo the CD that you had.”
Mr. Jones
commented, “We put it together, but
there’s no sound on it. But, the
pictures are a little sharper, and there are more pictures.”
Councilmember
Kondik commented, “Are we going to
play a game?”
Mayor
Harris commented, “Yes.”
Mr. DuFour
commented, “No, but you might take
it out of the bag. I think it’s very
nicely packaged.”
Mr. Jones
commented, “We would appreciate,
there’s an envelope in there for feedback.
We would appreciate any comments, if you have a history expert.
Councilmember
Miller commented, “Do you have any
idea of when it will be available for the individuals that put money down, because
I know my son’s a history major, and he bought it two years ago at the
festival.”
Mr. Jones
commented, “Ok, so he’s on the list
then.”
Councilmember
Miller commented, “Yes, and he’s
anxious to get it.”
Mr. Jones
commented, “And, I’ve got the
list. We’re going to try to get it for
them.”
Councilmember
Miller commented, “Yes. He’d be the kind of person you’d love to take
a look at it, because he is a history major.”
Mr. Jones
commented, “What is his name?”
Councilmember
Miller commented, “Jason Miller.”
Mayor
Harris thanked Mr. Jones.
Les McHenry 233
Miller Avenue, Weirton,
WV:
Re: State of the city
Mr.
McHenry commented, “Mayor and
Council, good afternoon. This goes back
to the war memorial. When the people
protested, I thought it was decided it would stay in place permanently. The Mayor said, in place. Dalrymple said, in place. In place in the military says, in place, it
doesn’t move. Well, they moved it. I’m glad they moved it and it didn’t
break. But, if Council says one thing
and pass a resolution, and people go against it, how are we supposed to believe
Council. Then when I see they want a
hundred, well ninety thousand dollars to move three telephone poles. Now, I hear it’s lower. Who are we supposed to be believing in this City? They want a hundred thousand dollars for an
economic development person. This is the
same board that’s had one for ten years.
Right now, Howard Trump couldn’t get anything developed here. Your best bet maybe it would be to get a
couple professional grant writers. At
least you’d be bringing money into the City.
There is a recession going on.
Things are going to get tighter in this City, whether it’s for the
Community Center, memberships are going to be going down. It just seems like everybody thinks the City’s
got all kinds of money. Weirton Steel’s
not here anymore. I’ve talked to a lot
of people inside and outside the City.
This City is not business friendly.
Maybe I’m wrong. I could be. But, a lot of people say they’re not business
friendly. There’s a lot of resolutions,
ordinances, being passed for a select few.
That’s not looking out for the good of all of the citizens, the whole
community. That’s all I have to say. Thank you.”
Councilmember
Ash commented, “Mayor if I
may? Sir, before you leave. On the first part about the Community Center
and what the Council passed. When
Council passes a resolution, it’s Council’s wishes. The only time it could be a demand is when
it’s an ordinance. We did not do
that. Our wishes were we did not it to be
moved. The Park Board knew that and they
decided to move it back anyhow. My
understanding was, and I talked to one of the members that worked there, he
said he was going to move it two or three inches just to level it up. That was it.
Well, I understand they moved it back about twenty feet or so. Fortunately, it didn’t crack and it’s
safe. We’re happy with that. I agree with you that when we do pass
something like that, our wishes, or our ordinances and all should be
enforced. But, there again, it’s a
resolution. We can’t force the Park
Board to do anything because they’re an autonomous board. That’s one of the reasons that I, as a
Councilman, have never liked and autonomous board, ever. We give them all the money, and then we have
no authority over what happens to that money.
And, just to let you know, this Council, and every other Council that
I’ve ever been on, this is my fourth term, and every time you give them
$450,000.00 or more, the Park Board, and we have no say what happened with that
money, that’s one of the things that distresses me, and I’ve always been
against it. And, I’ll continue to be
against it. But, I want you to
understand though, it’s only our wishes.
Once they had the money, and they have the authority to do what they want
to do there. It’s not our property. It’s the Park Board property as I understand
correctly.”
Mayor
Harris commented, “That’s right.”
Mr.
McHenry commented, “Can the Park
Board be dissolved?”
Councilmember
Ash commented, “It can be, but it
has to be a majority of the Council, and I don’t even want it. You won’t get that quick.”
Mr.
McHenry commented, “Just like the
Water Board can’t be dissolved. The
Water Board can’t be dissolved. The Park
Board could.”
Councilmember
Ash commented, “It can be. The Water Board can be dissolved also. The Sewage Board cannot be.”
Mayor
Harris commented, “It’s five
Council votes.”
OLD BUSINESS
Ordinance No. 1618 (Second Reading)
To
extend the current no parking zone located on Elm Street at its southwest intersection
with Taylor Avenue
by six (6) additional feet.
(Recommendation of the Weirton
Traffic Commission and Councilman George Ash)
Motion was made by Councilmember Ash, second by
Councilmember Jones.
The
motion carried by majority, 6/0.
NEW BUSINESS
Resolution
To
support the next phase of the West Virginia Department of Transportation,
Division of Highways, Pennsylvania
Avenue widening and sidewalk project. (California Avenue
to North 23rd Street)
Motion was made by Councilmember Marsh, second by
Councilmember Ash.
Councilmember
Kondik commented, “When does this
start?”
Councilmember
Marsh commented, “It is in, correct
me if I’m wrong City Manager, but it is in the design phase right now. Our concern at this point is that our needs
are listened to for the residences and the businesses there, and if you look
through the resolution that is what we’re asking for is to be in on the
planning stage and the operational stage of it.
In other words, better communications.
The last thing we need is another fiasco which just happened at the last
one. And, I think the Department…”
Councilmember
Kondik commented, “(Unintelligible.)”
Mayor
Harris commented, “They were
looking at a sixteen month contract again.
Sixteen months on Pennsylvania
Avenue is going to be very hard to a lot of the
businesses that are up there right now.
So, we’ve got to kind of look at it as far as us, in general taking a
look at what it will do to the businesses.
Maybe we can do something in the evenings. Maybe part, three or four months at a time. I don’t know how were going to do it, but we
need to take a good look at that.”
Councilmember
Dalrymple commented, “It’s not just
the businesses. It’s the residences in
the community that have to get across that.
That was just an absolute nightmare, the last part of that project, and
I really think that we need to stand together and make sure that our voices are
heard, just to speak for the citizens, the businessmen too, but the businessmen
are sitting in their businesses. The
citizens are the ones that are driving to them, and if they can’t get to them
then everyone’s hurting.”
Councilmember
Marsh commented, “And, I think if there’s
a line of communications and cooperation with the Department of Highways,
especially after what we did on Penco
Road with them which seems to be a fairly smooth
job at this point. The City Manager and
myself spent a lot of time with them and HDR to get in tune. So, hopefully we can do this here.
Mr. DuFour
commented, “If I could add,
Mayor. If you’ll recall, several of us
had the opportunity and at his request of even Senator Bowman and
representatives of the Department of Highways to discuss some of these concerns
especially in light of what we’ve experienced in the last phase of Pennsylvania
Avenue. And, upon finding out it was two
construction seasons again envisioned for this, I think the highway officials
as well as Senator Bowman heard that and this is part of his suggestion to us
is that if we wish to proceed, yes, we should indicate it. But also that we want to have a memorandum of
understanding as to some of the issues we need to have addressed in terms of
providing that, again, alleviating as many of those problems as we can for
residents and businesses. So, this
empowers our support with a memo of understanding with the Department of
Highways, again, I shouldn’t say brokered, but at least chaired by Senator
Bowman’s Office to address these concerns.
But, this is a conditional approval of the project.”
Mr.
Gurrera commented, “One of the
conditions might be that they resolve all of the issues that are still going on
with some of the people from the last phase.
I don’t think they’ve resolved it with two or three of the business
people from the first or second phase yet.
And, then they’re going to start another phase, and how do you know that
they’re going to do what they tell you they’re going to do if they haven’t done
what they said they were going to do for two or three people previously.”
The motion carried by majority, 6/0.
Resolution
To
enter into agreement for the renewal of health insurance coverage for the City
of Weirton employees.
(With Carelink and administered by Acordia of WV)
Motion was made by Councilmember Kondik, second by
Councilmember Dalrymple.
Councilmember
Ash commented, “Mayor, I’d like to
make a comment. The Finance Committee,
just to let you guys know, two through six, we’ve already discussed it, and the
Finance Committee agrees with all of those issues unanimously. But, the would like to make it very clear
that this is for a one year contract and this issue, and we may not have, next
year, if they raise it as high as they did this year, we may not be able to
afford this. I want the employees to
know that it’s getting tougher and tougher for us to carry health insurance on
all the employees and their family at a 100% rate.”
Mr. DuFour
commented, “Just to add to the
comments of Councilman Ash. When we sat
with the Finance Committee last week, we know this is a tough topic. It’s a difficult kind of issue always for
both labor as well as management. And,
what has been proposed and will occur, commencing January we’re going to be
doing some meetings utilizing the Finance Committee as a base with our
insurance folks and the folks from our labor associations to be to discuss
looking at options moving towards next years.
The feeling is that we, as Councilman Ash said, we cannot afford ongoing
increases like this, and we will not be able to carry from the General Fund. So, again that’s work with the Finance
Committee in January, and Nat, you’re going to be involved in that too. I see you out there. So, again, this fulfills what we agree to at
this point, but we’re going to need to look at some other approaches.”
The
motion carried by majority, 6/0.
Resolution
To
enter into a three year contract for life insurance coverage for the City of Weirton employees. (American
United Life Insurance Company, a OneAmerica Company)
Motion was made by Councilmember Kondik, second by
Councilmember Ash.
The
motion carried by majority, 6/0.
Resolution
To
authorize financial support by the City of Weirton to the Business Development
Corporation (BDC).
Motion was made by Councilmember Kondik, second by
Councilmember Marsh.
Councilmember
Ash commented, “Mayor, this is a,
to use Gary’s term, this a conditional resolution to just let the public know
that there will be a memorandum of understanding, and if both parties, which
means the Council and the Mayor and the City Manager and the BDC do not agree
on it, then nothing will happen. They
will not be able to get the funding. So,
it’s a conditional, this resolution is a conditional agreement to do what we’re
going to do with the memorandum of understanding.”
Mayor Harris commented, “I wanted to thank Gary and
the Councilmen also for their involvement.”
Councilmember
Dalrymple commented, “This is
something that we’ve all been talking about doing for a long, long time, trying
to get this together and get one entity to take care of what we need taken care
of. I just hope that this isn’t going to
become a recycle issue, and we actually get somebody in there that’s going to
get things moving, because we need all the help we can get. We don’t need to recycle things that we
haven’t been able to get done in the past.
And, I hope that all of the entities that are involved in this will look
at the big picture and stop trying to grab that pie for themselves. This is about the whole valley. This is a good idea on condition. I think it’s something that we can support.”
The
motion carried by majority, 6/0.
Resolution
Authorizing
the City Manager to purchase computer software to be used in conjunction with
the City of Weirton’s
Internet Website. (Not to exceed $1,700.00)
Motion was made by Councilmember Ash, second by
Councilmember Jones.
The
motion carried by majority, 6/0.

The
motion carried by majority, 6/0.

the maintenance and operation of the Fort
Steuben and the Market Street

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
FIRE DEPARTMENT –
Chief Lashhorn commented, “Nothing additional to
report.”
PARK BOARD –
Mr. Weigel commented, “Nothing further to add.
Councilmember Ash commented, “Terry, since it was
brought up, since the Council did pass that resolution, why did the Park Board
decide to do what they did after we requested they didn’t do it?”
Mr. Weigel commented, “The Park Board was aware
of it. With this design they felt they
could improve the monument sight and the area for that for the ceremonies. They wanted to get it back away from the
street so people weren’t so close to Main
Street as far as noise. We hope that this improves it. We are less close to traffic and we should be
able to accommodate everybody now on the sight instead of how the band would
have to be in the grass, be up against the bushes when their back to the podium
and everything. And, the Board felt that
they wanted to improve it overall for the ceremonies and that.”
Councilmember Ash commented, “I guess my objection is
the same as his, you know, we went though the trouble of passing a resolution,
and the Park Board didn’t have the courtesy to come back and talk to us about
why they were doing it. It wouldn’t have
been so bad if I wouldn’t have got fifteen or twenty phone calls about it. Then I called your office after that. They were saying that it was being
moved. And, when I called your office,
you weren’t available, but somebody else talked to me and said it was going to
be moved one or two inches, three at the most, and then I got off. Then it was moved twenty feet. I mean I don’t mind getting a phone
call. That’s what I’m for. I like to know the facts when I talk to
people, and all I could do was tell them it was and autonomous board and I don’t
have authority over them. So…”
Mr. Weigel commented, “I mean there are Council
member son that Board.”
Councilmember Ash commented, “I understand that, but
it would have been nice if the Board, when we passed that, if this Council
would have been notified. That’s all I’m
asking.”
Councilmember Miller commented, “I’d like to make a
comment. I’m not as clear as I used to
be, but I remember the discussion was more about complete relocation going to
Cove Commons or up on Three Springs Drive, and I can remember having the
discussion about when they were taking the handicapped ramp out that it would
be nice to move it back that way. So,
maybe I didn’t here exactly what you heard George. But, to me that’s not a relocation. That was just a movement and a whole
revamping in front of the Community Center.
I don’t know how to take it as being in violation of the
resolution. That’s the way I read it, because
I got most of the calls, because, and I think Senator Bowman and all of us,
because I’m sure that Cove
Commons and Pennsylvania Avenue,
we didn’t want to do that. Hopefully it
looks nice. Terry’s right. For the few events that I’ve been down there,
we’ve have people run across Main Street to stand in front of the VFW and right
on the sidewalk at the edge of the curb.”
Councilmember Dalrymple commented, “It would be nice to see
that since we’re doing this façade project, and now the memorial is where it’s
supposed to be, I guess, I asked about this when we passed that resolution
originally that it would be good if the veteran’s organizations would get
together with either us or the Park Board and try to come up with a plan to
have that monument cleaned. And, being
that the project for the façade is moving along, it would be nice to have that
project completed at the same time so that everything is done. And then if the new project is dedicated that
that could be put in with that. But,
there haven’t been any discussion that I know of since then. But, that’s something I think that needs
done. That piece is going to be at least
fifty years old, and fifty years sitting on Main Street. It needs a little TLC.”
Councilmember Ash commented, “I’ll talk to the VFW
about that.”
Mr. Weigel commented, “I have talked with the
contractor about cleaning that. I mean
they’re taking up dust and everything there, so, but I don’t know if it’s as
thorough as what you’re talking about.”
Councilmember Dalrymple commented, “It needs a thorough
cleaning, not just getting the dust off.
It needs done professionally but some type of monument expert to get
that thing looking like it did the day it was put up.”
Then I’ll discuss that,
because the one subcontractor is just that.
He’s one of the contractors, so I’ll get more details on cleaning that.”
Councilmember Dalrymple thanked Mr. Weigel.
Mayor Harris thanked Mr. Weigel.
PUBLIC WORKS –
Mr. Brown commented, “Noting extra to report
other than my report, unless there’s any questions.”
Mayor Harris commented, “How’s the brine
working?”
Mr. Brown commented, “It worked excellent
Mayor. An example was Greenbrier Road. I went up there Saturday. And there was some discussion about Marland Heights Road. Councilman Kondik said it was closed. At no time was it closed. I went down Marland Heights
hill about 3:15. As a matter of fact, I
was talking to the City Manager on the cell phone. And, I was also in communication with Public
Works. They were called out. And, the trucks were on the road at
4:00. We worked until 7:00 AM, Sunday
morning. And, I had one other person
come out and work till noon to keep the streets clear. And, at no time Councilman Kondik was that
road closed. The problem with the
Marland Height’s traffic, it was slow, and I was behind them, there was a
couple of nervous drivers up front that held up the line. There was actually cars going around in the
west lane around those cars that were going slow. And, so, I got down the hill a little bit and
I tried my brakes. I didn’t slide, and I
was in the Toyota,
a small car, and I didn’t slide. So, I
knew the problem was the nervous drivers up front.”
Mayor Harris commented, “So our new product is
working everywhere else?”
Mr. Brown commented, “I brined Friday. I brined 100 streets throughout Weirton. And, I started with Greenbrier. If you look to your left going up Cove Hill,
which I did, it was clear. The road was
totally clear. It worked great up
there. And, so, all the streets that I
checked Saturday, where the brine was, were clear. And, I think my crews did a great job.”
Mayor Harris thanked Mr. Brown.
Councilmember Dalrymple commented, “John, just to clarify,
we turned Birch Drive
over to the state. Right?”
Mr. Brown commented, “That’s on the Traffic
Commission for Wednesday.”
Councilmember Dalrymple commented, “No, no. Did we turn the road over to the state? That has nothing to do with that speed
increase.”
Mr. Brown commented, “I’m sorry. Ok.”
Councilmember Dalrymple commented, “So, it’s technically a
state road now. Correct? We don’t maintain that, i.e. brine or salt or
anything?”
Mr. Brown commented, “I have from time to time
went down there last year at critical times and did do some salting.
Councilmember Dalrymple commented, “Just to bring it to
attention that that road is utilized seven days a week twenty-four hours a day
for commerce. I was down there Saturday
working, and it was an ice rink getting up and down that hill. Eventually, from the sun it cleared up. They did do some type of pass through
there. But, there’s a lot of truck
traffic that goes in and out of there twenty-four seven. And, if you could contact whoever it might be
in the state that you may talk to tell them to be a little more proactive in
hitting that road.”
Mr. DuFour commented, “John, you might want to
get into touch with Mr. Spralazza, the Brooke County
superintendant for the Highway Department.”
Mr. Brown commented, “We did that last year.”
Mr. DuFour commented, “Well, give him a cal
this time.”
Mr. Brown commented, “And, it didn’t help.”
Mr. DuFour commented, “The next time you test
downhill you can borrow the Solicitor’s Hummer.”
LAUGHTER
Mayor Harris thanked Mr. Brown.
CODE ENFORCEMENT -
Mr. Rosnick commented, “Nothing to add.”
POLICE DEPARTMENT -
Sergeant Moodie commented, “I’m here on his behalf,
and there’s nothing to add.”
LEGAL DEPARTMENT -
Mr. Gurrera commented, “I updated Council on some of the cases that were
before the Court. Also, the parade was
awesome this year.”
