Members of Wheeling City Council will assemble for their first meeting of November tonight to tackle what is scheduled to be a very light agenda of business.

Only two new pieces of legislation are scheduled for first readings during tonight’s meeting, which is slated to begin at 5:30 p.m.

One ordinance scheduled to be introduced during tonight’s meeting would authorize City Manager Robert Herron to spend $17,819 with FPG Co. of Noblesville, Indiana for replacement of a meter located at Brook Park Place, 1290 National Road. If passed, this purchase is slated to be charged to the Water Department.

Another new ordinance being introduced tonight would authorize the expenditure of funds in the amount of $40,500 with In-Synch Systems of Mobile, Alabama for a police department license management system. If approved after a second reading, the purchase will be charged to the Wheeling Police Department.

A notice of the annual report of police and fire pension and relief funds is also on the agenda, as are a handful of items listed under unfinished business.

Second readings and final votes are scheduled to take place tonight for three different ordinances.

Council will hear a second and final reading on an ordinance authorizing the expenditure of $27,000 with Centrisys of Kenosha, Wis., for the purchase of rental services for a centrifuge to be charged to the Water Pollution Control division. This has been a monthly rental charge that has been occurring for more than a year in the wake of the spring 2024 flood disaster that caused damage to the city’s Wastewater Treatment Plant. The city is moving forward with projects to repair the facility and bring tens of millions of dollars in additional improvements and needed updates to the plant.

Two traffic ordinances are also scheduled for final readings during tonight’s meeting. One ordinance would create a three-way stop intersection at Hawthorne Court and Emerson Road in Woodsdale. Another new ordinance would create a no parking zone on Fridays from 4 a.m. to 8 a.m. on the north end of Lane B, extending for 50 feet from Fifth Street going south in North Wheeling.

Tonight’s meeting will take place in the second floor courtroom at the City-County Building at 1500 Chapline St. in downtown Wheeling. Council meetings, as well as meetings for other groups that typically use council chambers, are expected to be relocated to the second floor courtroom for several weeks while ongoing renovations of the City-County Building continue on the first floor.
