CCAWV’s New Office Space at 2007 Quarrier Street is Quickly Taking Shape!
The new siding is up, and interior improvements have been proceeding on schedule. The floors have been sanded, the upstairs painting is nearly done, electrical updates have been made, and the parking lot has been repaved. There is some work that still remains to be done inside – the kitchen still has a way to go, the floors still need to be finished, bathroom counters still need to be replaced, and the landscaping needs to be tidied up.
We will keep you posted as work progresses!
Now Accepting Submissions!
CCAWV is gearing up for another issue of “The Resourcer.” Our biannual magazine will be published in time for our upcoming Legislative Conference in January. It is our goal to make each issue better – more informative and robust than he last! Our last issue dealt with preparedness, providing tips and ideas on how to be prepared in the event of an emergency. We appreciated all the contributions we got, and hope to collect even more for the winter issue.
The upcoming issue will focus on Economic Development in West Virginia’s counties. Does your county have a success story you’d like to share with fellow county officials? Maybe you have an active economic development authority whose work you think should be highlighted! Please feel free to submit an article, or encourage your fellow local leaders to do so. We are hoping to showcase the vital role County Commissioners play in West Virginia’s economic development. This is your chance to shine! Send your success story to megan@ccawv.org.

CCAWV Partners with SVG to Keep Commissioners on HR Cutting Edge
CCAWV has partnered with Dave Barton of Shenandoah Valley Group to roll out a new, free benefit to members: an email series dedicated to a variety of HR topics.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) and its attendant requirements have complicated the world of HR administration substantially. Do you or the person responsible for your county’s HR administration know if your county is an ALE (applicable large employer)? Does the insurance coverage you are offering qualify as MEC (minimum essential coverage)> Are you familiar with the four approaches to determine MV (minimum value) of coverage? Are you confused yet?
Regional Jail Authority Kicks Off "Cost Containment" Series in Logan County
On Thursday, May 15th, the Regional Jail Authority hosted its first “Cost Containment Committee” meeting at the South Western Regional Jail. This will be the first in a series of meetings designed to engage local government officials in an ongoing dialogue with the Regional Jail Authority. All parties have a vested interest in keeping jail costs down. This will provide an excellent forum to talk openly about what is working, what isn’t working, and why.
