MOUNDSVILLE - Moundsville City Council members received a good report on the municipality's latest financial audit.
During a regular council meeting Tuesday, David Michael of the BHM CPA Group said the city had no findings on its 2025 audit report.
"The audit went smoothly and there were no disagreements with management," Michael said.
City Manager Rick Healy and Mayor Randy Chamberlain were both pleased with the results.
"The most important part to look at is there were no findings and no issues," Healy said to council.
Chamberlain added, "We like no issues and no problems."
Michael noted being able to use the city's fiscal 2025 compilation report during the audit was a big help during the process. The compilation report was conducted by certified public accounting firm Kozicki, Hughes and Tickerhoof PLLC. CPA Jayetee Herron presented the compilation report during the meeting as well.
Herron noted it was a pleasure compiling the report for the city again.
"We enjoy it because the city is growing, not because the accounting standards are growing," she said.
In other matters, Healy and the mayor thanked everyone involved with putting on the city's America 250 celebration during Fourth of July weekend. The event included a concert, parade, fireworks and more. Healy said more events to celebrate the nation's 250th anniversary will be happening later in the summer and fall.
Also, council approved hiring Semper Fi Paving to repave sections of several streets in the city at a cost of $553,597. The streets will include Locust Avenue between Park Street and Highland Avenue; Thompson between 13th and 14th streets; Shirley Terrace; Linden Avenue between Fostoria and Highland Avenue; Sycamore Avenue between Second Street and Potomac; Jackson between Poplar and Mulberry; Mulberry between Center and Second streets; Leatherwood between Cherokee Drive to the end; Second Street between Grant Street and Parriott Avenue; Poplar Avenue between Fourth and Ohio Streets; Diamond Avenue between Parriott Avenue and Garfield.
Council also approved a contractor for the demolition of three dilapidated structures in the city. Aster Oilfield Services was hired at a cost of $43,000 to raze 217 Cedar Ave., 21 N. Highland Ave. and 901 Seventh St. Healy said he plans to meet with the company to make sure they understand the scope of the work including making sure to properly fill in the lots after demolition.
