WELLSBURG On Tuesday, Wellsburg Council supported a higher salary for the city’s collector-treasurer and restructuring of the police department.
In December, Collector-Treasurer Andrea Morris requested a raise, noting her salary is lower than assistant department heads at City Hall.
But council members noted because Morris’ position is an elected one, any change to her salary can’t go into effect until after her present term, which ends on June 30. After that, whoever is elected to the office in the city’s June 8 election will receive that pay.
But council learned on Tuesday that Morris has chosen to resign from the position, effective Feb. 15, to accept a position as assistant to newly appointed Brooke County Magistrate Shannon Price.
Improvements coming to Dupont, Cloverdale wastewater facilities
By Sam Shriver - sshriver@limanews.com
DUPONT Financing is now in place for work to begin Monday for the Village of Dupont’s sewer collection system and wastewater treatment plant project.
The project involves the construction of a septic tank effluent pressure collection system in Dupont and an ORENCO Ax-Max recirculating media filter wastewater treatment plant to serve both Dupont and Cloverdale, according to a press release from the Village of Dupont.
Miller Contracting Group Inc. will be doing the work, which is mandated by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
An order issued in December 2008 found individual residences in both the Dupont and Cloverdale were served by an antiquated treatment system.
