The Hancock County Commission on Oct. 9 approved several fiscal items and announced an open application period for opioid-settlement funds.
Commissioners approved general fund revision No. 4 for fiscal year 2526 and internal budget revision No. 1 for the circuit clerk’s office (noted as covering a new printer). The commission also approved general county bills totaling $142,838.66 and P-card charges totaling $3,302.26; animal shelter levy fund bills and library levy fund bills were reviewed and approved or reported as none where applicable.
Commissioner Cleave announced the county will accept applications for opioid-settlement funding for prevention and treatment through Dec. 17, 2025. The county’s office of emergency management said there is no countywide burn ban in place; however, fall forest-fire-season burning rules are in effect and can be found on the West Virginia Division of Forestry website.
All budget and bill approvals were recorded by voice vote.
