HUNTINGTON â Huntington City Council passed two ordinances regarding business licenses during its Monday night meeting in response to businesses that operated illegally within the city and had violence occur on their premises.
The first ordinance is about post-business license inspections. Under the ordinance, the mayor or his or her designee can â within a month of a license issuance â inspect a business premises âto determine whether the business is being conducted in a manner consistent with the licensing information and in a lawful manner.â The ordinance says more inspections can follow the initial one. This ordinance was passed on Monday night with an 10-1 vote, with Councilman Dale Anderson II being the only nay vote.
HUNTINGTON â While the latest winter storm has already passed through Huntington, the city is still responding to ongoing crisis caused by the ice and snow.
During a Huntington City Council meeting Monday night, Mayor Steve Williams gave an overview of the cityâs response to the three consecutive storms Huntington was hit by in the past two weeks.
Williams said 42 employees from the cityâs Public Works Department worked for 11 days straight responding to the ice storms.
He said 94 trees were removed from public roads, including six trees that fell overnight and were removed Monday morning from Mallory Court. Williams said 20 trees were removed from roads after the first ice storm on Feb. 11 and 68 trees were removed last week after the second ice storm on Feb. 15.
