IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to upcoming renovations at Morgantown City Hall, all Morgantown City Council meetings will be held in Monongalia County Commission Chambers located on the second floor of the Monongalia County Building at 243 High Street.
Unfinished Business:
- REVIEWING THE APPLICABILITY OF ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER
This ordinance would establish that Robert's Rules of Order are guidelines for the Morgantown City Council rather than a strict set of requirements. - PARTNERING WITH BUILDING COMMISSION TO SECURE BONDS FOR ICE ARENA AND MARILLA POOL
This ordinance would establish the City's agreement with the Morgantown Building Commission to secure revenue bonds for funding the Morgantown Ice Arena and Marilla Pool renovation projects. Expenses for the Morgantown Ice Arena project are estimated at approximately $10.4 to $11.5 million, while the Marilla Pool project is estimated to cost anywhere from $9 million to $11 million. - PROPOSED CHANGES TO CITY SALES AND USE TAX
Council will review an
ordinance which would make amendments to the City's sales tax, including the assignment of specific percentages to revenue funds for allowable uses.
Consent Agenda:
- UPDATING THE ORDER OF COUNCIL MEETING PROCEDURE
This ordinance would update the order of procedure for Morgantown City Council meetings and allow Council to coordinate orders of procedure as necessary for each meeting rather than adhering to a strict, unchanging order of proceedings. - AMENDING CITY PURCHASE PROCEDURES
Updates to the purchasing code will clearly specify distinctions between purchasing and bidding procedures for construction projects and materials purchases, codify exceptions for products with a sole source or other unavailability of bidding processes, and specify procedures for purchasing by cooperative agreements with other local governments.
New Business:
- AWARDING OF A BID TO EXTEND THE RUNWAY AT MORGANTOWN MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
Council will consider the approval of a
bid award for phase two of the runway extension project at the Morgantown Municipal Airport. At the recommendation of the project manager, the bid should be awarded to Cast & Baker Corporation in the amount of $1,992,470.
- CONTINUATION OF SUPPORT FOR HEALTH RIGHT'S HARM REDUCTION PROGRAM
Council will review a
letter addressed to the director of health facilities and licensure which would establish Council's continued support for Milan Puskar Health Right's LIGHT (Living in Good Health Together) Program. The program has provided harm reduction and syringe access in Morgantown for seven years.
