March 25 City Council included a passing of ordinances and proposals which will clean up Huntington and give the youth an exciting new experience in the city.
The session started with Mayor Steve Williams who honored Huntington High senior Kelsi Burns for her academic and athletic merit and Burns acceptance to West Point on a soccer scholarship.
The Council first ordinance included a tougher code that would keep property owners from keeping couches outside of the house.
By a unanimous vote of 8-0, council members approved an ordinance that prohibits residents from keeping furniture, mattresses and another items not intended for outdoor use in front yards.
The city is allowing a transition period in order to allow citizens to comply with the ordinance. The city will be placing trash bins in neighborhoods beginning April 3. The locations of the bins has not been decided yet.
Huntington's youth have plenty to be excited about after this meeting with the approval of a Huntington skate park at the River Front Park. The Council approved the creation of a master plan that marks the start of designing a skate park that will be constructed in the West end of River Front Park.
The meeting concluded with the discussion of the cities first "Second Chance Prom" this Friday night which will give special needs and underprivileged citizens a prom just for them free of charge at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena
