WORK SESSION: Huntington Storm Water, Continuity of Operations, and Paul Ambrose Trail Highlight Council Agenda

Huntngton, WV (HNN) – Huntington is about to make a population gain. On Monday, Nov. 8, council will approve a resolution which annexes the third phase of Seneca Woods into the Guyandotte area of the city.
Since all property owners in this 5.472 acre development have agreed to join the city, no vote will be necessary.
Two second readings will be voted upon. One ordinance accepts a grant for the city to development a catastrophic line of succession plan (called “continuity of operations”) which will detail “who’s in charge” and “who has spending authority.” The grant is from Homeland Security.
In addition, the first storm water ordinance likely will go on the books Monday night. This will be the initial step for the city in its MS4 (Municipal Storm Sewer) program, which has been sidetracked by stressing the costs and need for a storm water utility. This ordinance simply imposes a fine of up to $500 and/or 30 days in jail for improper dumping or illicit discharges into the system. Each day the dumping occurs amounts to a separate offense.
POLICE RADIOS
Having found a compromise that pleases the Huntington Police Department and its partner agencies, council will hear first reading of an ordinance that purchases both Motorola and Kenwood radios.
Lt. Mike Albers explained that the department will tap into the state bids from both manufacturers. “It provides us with the opportunity to pick and choose,” Albers said.
Both manufacturers offered “component incentive” upgrades as part of the bid price.
Kenwood has offered an encryption package for all radios as well as a step up in the model selected.
