Monongalia County Commission regular meeting October 7, 2026

At its October 7, 2026 regular meeting, the Monongalia County Commission approved the consent agenda, including vouchers and other routine items; some voucher amounts in the transcript are unclear. The Commission also approved requisition No. 42 for $5,187.50 and requisition No. 126 for $9,387.50, both for Municap monthly invoices charged to University Town Center tax-district administrative expense funds. Members approved the president signing grant documents, but no grant amount was stated. The meeting included updates on the county’s Comcast broadband project and efforts to use the remaining available ARPA funds; no new broadband contract or award was approved.

Public commenters urged the Commission to cancel or reconsider its Flock Safety license-plate-reader contract, raising surveillance and privacy concerns and citing other municipalities’ decisions to end or deactivate similar systems. The Commission took no action on the contract. A commissioner said the signed master services agreement had been made available through the county transparency site. The Commission also approved routine personnel and property-enforcement items, a domestic-violence-awareness proclamation, and letters of support; no other procurement award was identified.
