COUNCIL SEAT FILLED â On Tuesday long-time resident Jerry Nichols was appointed to fill the 1st Ward Council seat held by Danny Dudley, who resigned to serve as interim mayor following the death of Sue Simonetti. It was the first council meeting presided by Dudley and the first in several months in which council members met in person.
WELLSBURG The last five months have been a time of change for city officials, and Tuesday was no different as Wellsburg Council gathered in person for the first time in several months.
The panel had been meeting virtually because of the pandemic, but a majority returned to council chambers for the first meeting led by Interim Mayor Danny Dudley.
