Meeting next week are council’s Municipal Properties Committee, the Elkins Water Board, and the Elkins Planning Commission.

The Municipal Properties Committee meets in special session Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. to consider a request for a utilities easement from the directors of the Mountain State Forest Festival. This easement would allow installation of an electric service pole next to the city-owned parking lot near Railroad Avenue and Third Street for use by a private company during the festival.

On Tuesday at 4 p.m., the Water Board meets on an agenda that includes contracts with Dewaine Corley/C-Com and Steve’s Electrical Service, discussion of the Worth Avenue water-line break, invoices, and tap fees.

Also meeting on Tuesday, at 7 p.m., the Planning Commission will review definitions of various types of events in the new zoning code. Commission members will also discuss items for an FAQ concerning the new law and review the processes that will be used to administer and enforce its provisions.
