HUNTINGTON â A new councilwoman is in town.
The Huntington City Council selected Sarah Walling to represent District 4. The vacancy was created last month when former Council Chairwoman Jennifer Wheeler resigned. She moved out of the district.
Walling took the oath of office Thursday.
âItâll be an honor to serve on council,â Walling said following the meeting. âWe had an excellent pool of candidates. It was a hard-fought fight.â
Walling, a Democrat, has lived in Huntington since 2010. She is a partner with the law firm Jenkins Fenstermaker. She is also on boards for local community organizations, such as Little Victories Animal Rescue and CONTACT. She is president of the board of Facing Hunger Foodbank and the Ronald McDonald House.

HUNTINGTON â Huntington City Council passed two ordinances regarding business licenses during its Monday night meeting in response to businesses that operated illegally within the city and had violence occur on their premises.
The first ordinance is about post-business license inspections. Under the ordinance, the mayor or his or her designee can â within a month of a license issuance â inspect a business premises âto determine whether the business is being conducted in a manner consistent with the licensing information and in a lawful manner.â The ordinance says more inspections can follow the initial one. This ordinance was passed on Monday night with an 10-1 vote, with Councilman Dale Anderson II being the only nay vote.
