# 2026-10-01 JCC Meeting

Jefferson County Commission regular meeting, Jefferson County, West Virginia, October 1, 2026. The Commission approved minutes, accounts payable, manual checks, payroll, and requisitions on the consent agenda without objection; amounts were not specified. It unanimously approved budget adjustments after the CFO explained that the items had been reformatted to meet state auditor requirements, with no additional costs identified. The Commission also unanimously approved changes to EMS deployment effective November 1: moving a 24-hour ambulance from Citizens to Middleway and a 12-hour peak-period unit from Independent to Blue Ridge Mountain, conditional on lease agreements. A related Middleway lease action was approved; commissioners said the funding for the lease agreements would be addressed at a future meeting. No vendor selection or contract award was reported. The planning office discussed prior consulting options, including a $100,000 consultant request that the Commission did not approve last year; possible future support may be considered during budget planning.

The Commission unanimously approved sending an opposition letter concerning three proposed transmission-line projects to the relevant Public Service Commission dockets by certified mail. It also advanced draft data-center development guardrails for distribution to the governor, county associations, commissioners, and state legislators, with non-substantive edits, and directed staff to arrange a data-center tour by year-end with no more than two commissioners attending at a time. These actions may inform future development requirements but did not approve a construction project or procurement. No specific procurement amounts or vendors were identified.
