A department head described upcoming events at the recreation center and ice rink, including an MSAC tournament with four games on Saturday and a princess skate for children aged about 3 through 12. The city’s career fair was announced as rescheduled for March 6 after weather-related delays.

Staff also summarized emergency deployments during recent flooding. South Charleston's swift-water rescue team deployed to assist in Mercer County and later to Williamson. According to the department report, teams assisted with 12 evacuations early in Mercer County, performed 12 “legitimate rescues” in Williamson and saved four dogs from drowning; team members reported shifts of up to 20 hours. The city report also noted coordination with the National Guard and regional volunteer fire departments. Department speakers credited preventive maintenance of storm drainage for reducing local flood damage.

Council members and staff also discussed operational matters including salt supplies for winter, mutual aid with neighboring jurisdictions on road clearing, and appreciation for public-works crews for recovery work. No formal council actions or budget allocations were taken during this segment; the remarks were informational departmental reports.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of South Charleston Live Stream","oneSentenceSummary","City department reports announced recreational events, a rescheduled March 6 career fair and summarized city crews' flood response, including swift-water rescues in Mercer County and Williamson that saved people and four dogs.","taxTitle","South Charleston, Kanawha County, West Virginia","taxId",55258,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6316955,"Council accepts South Charleston monthly financial statement",14,79000,93000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2375144-cfe6869435c39b71f3c41c2b46810bf1&start=79&end=93","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2375144-cfe6869435c39b71f3c41c2b46810bf1/thumbnail_79000.jpg","/articles/6316955/South-Charleston/Kanawha-County/West-Virginia/Council-accepts-South-Charleston-monthly-financial-statement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6316955-70610f0e8035953d059d34e71dcf63e5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771157206&Signature=BxuUceSn5MedFlIBGJ1qxMY6ixtTCJTq14JHZQMGX0VnTrljIoGNV7pnMzUGiNzKcriPCjBH2eeGq8c6Cs6lEMB0gAm9jrNSdfoogIC8~hGz9C9aeASIqc5bHIVmfXcBO1ApXZv6LfY0MBcSjjICktrvE00XMarS8lzvYv~kSS3iXs-9akTsqZ5SrgZGMwmLho1VIx5T6hU2udRKJ0GjZL5UYRawKw1QN5ERJRsgneuplejuiWGTVJrIQWaI2dcmAdpcvWa16Qmf0uc~OMwtUBqcdoByPiV~darGJq9c8cBssEerhAwCEdIgSZHDLmjmGnfbKVoVC~2trIVjUthbBQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The South Charleston City Council voted to accept the city's monthly financial statement during the meeting.

The resolution, as read at the meeting, directs the city treasurer to expend settlement funds and to create new budget lines to account for the approved uses. The text read at the meeting did not specify exact line-item names, dollar amounts, or the programs that will receive the money; those details were not specified in the transcript.

The approval was a formal council action during the agenda item titled “communications and public hearings.” No roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript; the vote was taken by voice and declared approved.","The City Council approved a resolution authorizing the city treasurer to expend funds from the opioid settlement and to create new budget line items to track those expenditures.","actionData","errors"]
