Page 5 INNformer Publication of The Wells Inn Volume 3, No. 14 The Wells Inn, 316 Charles St. Sistersville, WV 26175 Aug. 4, 2016 Paden City prepares for city seal, youth council By Lea Ann Butcher Paden City residents young and old will have two unusual opportunities in which to partici- pate: design of an official Paden City seal and formation of a youth council. Beginning Sept. 1 and ending Oct. 31, resi- dents of all ages may submit a seal design to city council. The designs will be offered for a public vote to choose a top five. City council will then select the winning design from the top five. Prizes or awards will be determined. The youth council will consist of two individ- uals from each high school grade level. Mayor Joel Davis said he hopes the council will generate new interest in the day-to-day business and workings of the city. “The youth council will meet separately from city council, make reports and present them at each regular council meeting,” Davis said.
