ST. CLAIRSVILLE Questions and confusion about the latest nominations to fill two expiring terms on the city recreation board for the J.B. Martin Recreation Center dominated the Monday teleconference meeting of St. Clairsville City Council.
After more than a half-hour of debate, council voted in favor of current board members Diane Schubert and Alicia Freeman, daughter of Councilwoman Linda Jordan. Their terms had been set to expire April 17. Each will serve another five-year term.
Councilman Perry Basile had nominated Lisa Amos.
Council members were unsure if one or both terms were set to expire this month, and some members suggested putting off the vote until a later meeting until this could be determined. When Jordan did not withdraw her nomination of Freeman, Law Director Elizabeth Glick consulted prior council minutes and found Schubert had filled an ongoing term rather than a complete one, and so both of the council’s nominations were open.

St. Clairsville Mayor Kathryn Thalman makes a presentation during a prior meeting. The city is making progress on the issue of water service as well as responding to the recent cold weather.
ST. CLAIRSVILLE A teleconference meeting of St. Clairsville City Council last week featured updates regarding winter weather issues and water service.
Before council could get down to regular business, though, drama arose again as Mayor Kathryn Thalman read a letter from resident Carrie Gralinski criticizing Councilman Frank Sabatino for reading a constituent’s letter to Thalman in the last meeting. The earlier letter writer expressed disappointment in Thalman for sharing a social media post from a conservative commentator that referred to “liberals” as “communists.” Gralinski’s response to Sabatino described his reading of the letter as “political theatre.”

ST. CLAIRSVILLE For the Christmas season, during the final teleconference meeting of 2020 Monday, St. Clairsville City Council voted unanimously to forgive late fees for utility bill payments this month, since delivery to customers has been delayed.
Safety and Service Director Jeremy Greenwood said while the bills were mailed on time Dec. 4, some of them have still not yet been received.
He added the city has notified residents through the Code Red automated calling system and the city website to contact the utility office, since bills are due Dec. 23.
“If anybody hasn’t received a bill yet and they need it, they will probably need to call the utility office, and please be patient because they’re swamped right now with people calling in,” Greenwood said. He said the holiday rush, the COVID-19 pandemic, and heavy snowfall may have worked together to delay the mail.
