St. St. C. vote by email stands, in-person meetings to resume | News, Sports, Jobs


Times Leader Staff Writer
ST. CLAIRSVILLE St. Clairsville City Council members took no action Monday to correct a vote cast by email that appeared to violate the Ohio Open Meetings Act, but the emails were read aloud and each member verbally confirmed their vote was recorded correctly.
The vote by email occurred April 5 to fill two seats on the recreation board. Council chose not to rescind the vote and said plans are in the works to revive in-person meetings, which would hopefully prevent such incidents in the future.
According to the “2021 Ohio Sunshine Laws Manual” published by Attorney General Dave Yosts’s office: “A public body must make all of its meetings open to the public at all times. Secret ballots, whispering of public business, and ’round-robin’ discussions are all prohibited under the openness requirement.” ....

Emailed votes improper | News, Sports, Jobs


St. Clairsville residents deserve better governance than they are getting from City Council.
It appears that on Monday, council violated the Ohio Open Meetings Act by casting votes to appoint two members to the recreation board via email. During a meeting conducted by teleconference, members cast what amounted to secret ballots by sending their votes in by email. While the result of the vote was announced council reappointed incumbents Alicia Freeman and Diane Schubert to the board those listening to the meeting had no way to know which council members had voted for which candidates.
The “2021 Ohio Sunshine Laws Manual” published by Attorney General Dave Yost’s office states: “A public body must make all of its meetings open to the public at all times. Secret ballots, whispering of public business, and ’round-robin’ discussions are all prohibited under the openness requirement.” ....

ST. CLAIRSVILLE The city is addressing fees and funding questions surrounding utilities and planned water upgrades.
During last week’s council teleconference meeting, Councilwoman Terra Butler, a member of the utility committee, said an ordinance will be put before the council next month pertaining to shutting off water services and applying a monthly fee.
“There’s a policy in place now, if we shut water off, if somebody goes to vacation over the winter … it’s a $50 turn-on and a $50 turn-off, and then they’re charged the monthly minimum amount even though they weren’t using any water,” Safety and Service Director Jeremy Greenwood said afterward, adding the city must balance its needs and expenses with fairness to the residents. “We’re kind of looking at tha ....

ST. CLAIRSVILLE A resident wrote a letter criticizing Mayor Kathryn Thalman for a social media post, and a councilman read that letter during a Monday teleconference meeting.
Councilman Frank Sabatino read the letter and also had several questions about the process of closing out the books for 2020 and setting up appropriations for 2021.
Thalman had shared a post that quoted conservative commentator Candace Owens referring to “liberals” as “communists.” It was deleted from Thalman’s personal page, but there have been numerous comments about the matter on a Facebook page devoted to the city.
Sabatino read the letter by resident Matt Berher, who also addressed a letter to the mayor. He wrote that the post was not a sign Thalman was attempting to end political division in the city. ....

Late mail delivery leads to fee forgiveness in St. Clairsville | News, Sports, Jobs


Staff Writer
ST. CLAIRSVILLE For the Christmas season, during the final teleconference meeting of 2020 Monday, St. Clairsville City Council voted unanimously to forgive late fees for utility bill payments this month, since delivery to customers has been delayed.
Safety and Service Director Jeremy Greenwood said while the bills were mailed on time Dec. 4, some of them have still not yet been received.
He added the city has notified residents through the Code Red automated calling system and the city website to contact the utility office, since bills are due Dec. 23.
“If anybody hasn’t received a bill yet and they need it, they will probably need to call the utility office, and please be patient because they’re swamped right now with people calling in,” Greenwood said. He said the holiday rush, the COVID-19 pandemic, and heavy snowfall may have worked together to delay the mail. ....
