Commission to hear presentations

ELKINS — Two presentations are part of the agenda for Thursday’s Randolph County Commission meeting at the James Cain Courthouse Annex.

The Elkins Depot Welcome Center and Elkins High School Project Safe Graduation will both present to the commission during the meeting, which is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Both organizations come before the commission each year around this time to provide information.

The Welcome Center, which is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization that serves visitors and community members in Elkins and Randolph County, will be there to give their yearly report to the commission.

“They do a presentation every year just to let us know what’s going on,” Commission President Mark Scott said. “They want to show us the progress they’ve made and what they’ve been working on.”

The EHS Safe Graduation organization will be seeking some financial assistance for their yearly graduation party, which is held in a safe and supervised environment each year. The party takes place on graduation night and is a safe alternative for those students wishing to celebrate the big night with classmates.

“Each year we look at what’s available and see how we can help,” Scott said about the graduation party.

The commission will also look into signing a request for time extension for the courthouse facilities improvement grant. This has to do with the repairs being done on the old Randolph County Jail roof. Weather has put a damper on the work being done at that facility.

Other items on the agenda include considering approval of amendment to employee handbook regarding seniority pay; considering an appointment to the Randolph County Housing Authority Board of Commissioners; and considering an authorizing signature for Harman bridge repairs.
