Jason Sleeth presented council details on his plans for community usage of the weight room and equipment. He stated he would like for council to explore grants or other avenues to purchase new cardio machines, exercise equipment and redoing the inside of the old weight room for community use, including the handicapped and elderly. He believes it could be a nice community addition. Council agreed, and the idea was tabled until the next meeting.

Council agreed to check on a request by Richard Hayes to fix pot holes on his street.

The due date for the Final Budget Revision was July 15, 2026. Recorder Massey stated she would call the Auditors Office this week.

Council then took up the topic of officially returning Mayor Charles R. Goff, Jr. “Chip” to his position as Mayor. Goff had been on a 90 day mutual agreed upon leave from his Mayor position due to a medical condition suffered from an earlier industrial accident.

Goff presided over the August 10, 2026 meeting against the advice of town counsel Taylor Potts. At that time Goff stated he was the elected Mayor of the town, and his medical leave was over. He cited that under municipal law and the town’s charter he would be presiding over the meeting. He also announced at the meeting that Becky Goff had presented her signed resignation effective on August 10.

Neither Mayor Goff or Recorder Becky Goff were in attendance at the August 17 meeting, however, both Mayor Goff and Recorder Goff presented letters to the town attorney asking that he read them in an open forum at the meeting. However, legal counsel for the community Taylor Potts decided not to read the letters openly with the council and others present, stating he didn’t feel there was a need to read the letters as they mention names and he felt that might be counter productive as to what they are trying to accomplish in the town.

On advice from Attorney Potts council agreed that Mayor Goff was officially re-elected to the position following the May 2026 town election and there was no medical evidence that he wasn’t capable of fulfilling his duties as Mayor. It was also stated that there was no medical evidence that he was capable either. With no motion or vote needed it was the consensus of the council that Mayor Goff be officially re-instated as Mayor of Hundred, WV.

The Council then voted unanimously to accept the resignation letter received from Recorder Goff at the August 10 meeting and remove her from all town accounts. There was no explanation for the reason behind her resignation.

The meeting was adjourned. The next regular scheduled meeting of Hundred Town Council will be September 8, at 6 pm.
