PUBLIC HEARING” PERTAINING TO THE PROPOSED EXPENDITURE
OF GRANT FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $16,273.00
FROM THE LLEBG
PROGRAM FOR THE
SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT,
CABELL COUNTY,
WEST
VIRGINIA
Glenn White, County Manager, informed the Commission that a letter was sent to Sheriff Kim Wolfe on September 8, 2003, informing him of the Public Hearing set for today. Mr. White explained that part of the LLEBG Grant process, was for the committee to meet before the Public Hearing and to bring forth to that hearing a recommendation on how the grant monies would be spent. Mr. White further stated the recommendation was the main focus for the Public Hearing.
Nancy Cartmill, Commissioner, stated she was upset that the committee did not find the time to meet and that the Public Hearing would have to be re-advertised at a cost to the County and the delay would drive the Commission up to the deadline for the grant. Commissioner Cartmill went on to say she was upset that the Sheriff does not attend the meetings to discuss these issues with the Commission.
Connie Gray, Administrator of Grants, Planning and Permits, informed the Commission the grant funds could be accepted October 13, 2003. Mrs. Gray stated we would have 90 days from the on-line date of the application of August 28, 2003, to go on-line to request a draw down.
William Watson, County Attorney, suggested the minutes show the Public Hearing did not go forward because of the lack of recommendations on the expenditure of funds from the committee.
L. D. Egnor, Commissioner, said he had hoped that Sheriff Wolfe would be at the meeting today so he could ask the Sheriff questions on another matter. Commissioner Egnor stated that the absence of the Sheriff for the Public Hearing and a continuous series of actions were unsettling to him. Commissioner Egnor went on to say several weeks ago the Commission received a title to a vehicle, from the Department of Motor Vehicles, that the Commission had no knowledge of owning and that Mr. White had written a letter to the DMV requesting information on this title. Commissioner Egnor stated the DMV had sent documentation to the Commission showing the Sheriff had personally made the application for said vehicle with the title going to the Commission. Commissioner Egnor further stated the Commission had never engaged in titling vehicles other than through the signature of the President of the County Commission and it appears the Sheriff had purchased a horse trailer with dressing rooms, for a price in excess of $13,000.00, from funds the Commission does not know the source of and that the vehicle had been titled to the Commission without their knowledge and consent. Commissioner Egnor stated he believed this act must be recognized and that public officials must act forthright and in good faith.
Nancy Cartmill, Commissioner, stated she concurred with Commissioner Egnor and she was also upset that the Commission owns a trailer they know nothing about and that someone who was not authorized, signed an application for title for that vehicle. Commissioner Cartmill further stated the Commission had received word from the insurance company that the person responsible for the trailer had applied for insurance for that vehicle.
