City Hall News: Week of April 5, 2021

Elkins, W. Va., April 3, 2021: New councilors and a new mayor settle into their roles this week. Council’s Finance Committee meets Monday, the Elkins Tree Board meets Tuesday, and the Rules & Ordinances Committee meets Thursday.

Meeting Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. in the Darden House (next to city hall), the Elkins Tree Board will plan the transfer of plants from the city hall parking lot, discuss board membership and duties, and strategize upcoming tree plantings.

On Monday at 10 a.m., the Finance Committee will discuss American Rescue Plan Act funds and hear proposed FY 2021 budget adjustments.

The Rules & Ordinances Committee meets Thursday at noon to discuss the future of the Enforcement Agency, which was recommended for elimination by the Mayor’s Ad Hoc Committee on Boards and Commissions. The Enforcement Agency has not met in several years as its responsibilities have shifted to full-time public safety employees and council’s Public Safety Committee.

The Elkins Municipal Court is referring overdue accounts to collections. Anyone with past due court costs, fines, or other payments owing should contact the court clerk to discuss options: (304) 636-1414, ext. 1529.
