VIENNA Vienna City Council unanimously approved bids Thursday evening for improvements in Jackson and Spencer parks, while discussing the 2021-2022 fiscal year budget plan one last time before voting next week on final passage.
Council unanimously approved the bids for the construction of an Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant restroom in Spencer Park and resurfacing of the tennis and basketball courts and adding a cross fitness workout rig in Jackson Park.
Sealed bids for the restroom construction were opened Feb. 26 with two bids: Grae-Con Construction, $164,900, and Wingrove Construction, $64,282. Reviewing the two bids, council’s Budget and Finance Committee recommended the bid from Wingrove Construction.

VIENNA Vienna City Council met Thursday to discuss potential police department raises, as well as upcoming plans for their term involving major projects and ordinances.
Vienna Police Chief Mike Pifer approached council for the consideration of a raise for officers from $18 to $20 an hour.
“I don’t want the city of Vienna Police Department to become a training ground,” Pifer said. “Our police department does an excellent job in my opinion, I think it’s deserving.”
The pay raise, which will be considered by council at the next meeting, would reflect a desire to maintain retention of officers and bring Vienna up to date with the pay grade of other cities in West Virginia.
