Special Meeting

Cary Ours, South Branch Day Report Center director, requested $17,666 from the Hardy County Commission, and Commissioner Harold K. Michael asked if she needed more. The Commission met Thursday, Feb. 13 for a special meeting. In 2019, Ours requested $25,000. She explained it was a higher amount last year for several reasons, including that Pendleton County, which had few participants, contributed the same amount that Hamp- shire County provided, so Hardy County gave more as a show of sup- port. “If I have to come back (for more money),” Ours said, “I’ll have books and numbers to show we need it. I don t run a business with a huge surplus, she continued. I keep enough supplement to contribute to the Magistrate, or in the event our funds are frozen for three months. That actually happened, and I had the money to cover. Ours also asked the Commission to renew a memorandum of un- derstanding. Commissioners approved both the funding and the memorandum. “This has been our best year ever,” Ours said, noting that it’s cheap- er for the county to send someone to the Day Report Center than to jail. The Commission also adopted a resolution from attorney Hunter Mullins, regarding an opioid lawsuit regarding wrongful distribution of pain medications, in particular hydrocodone and oxycodone. Commissioner Jay Fansler gave a report on a trip to Charleston, where he and commissioner David Workman met with Hardy Coun- ty’s state representatives. Fansler requested letters of support for funding Love Memorial Clinic, and keeping open the Tucker County Landfill. The Commission approved both.
