Key approvals included three local public agency project agreements with the Ohio Department of Transportation for 2026 and 2027 projects (Monclova Road roundabouts at Angola and Waterville Monclova, resurfacing of the Wabash Cannonball Trail, and an Angola/Crissy Road project) and acceptance of a property sale for a Providence/Minneapolis/Swanton Road/Archbold/White House Road roundabout project (purchase amount recorded as $8,685). Commissioner Gerken moved the motion; the three commissioners recorded “yes” votes.

The board approved a renewal of a software support contract with ConnectTrex Corporation supporting the adult probation case-management system. Amanda Wilson, presenting for the probation department, said the annual cost is $123,009.56 to be paid from the general fund probation account. Commissioner Lopez moved the renewal; the motion passed on a unanimous roll call.

Other contract and administrative approvals included:
- Release of a Community Housing Impact and Preservation (CHIP) mortgage for Kyla Canelas at 9817 Oak Place Court (item presented by Matthew Heierman); motion passed unanimously.
- Creation of a super blanket purchase order under Ohio Revised Code section 5705.41(D)(3) for recurring expenses at the Glass City Center and the Safety Council of Northwest Ohio; motion passed unanimously.
- Award of an annual life-safety inspection and testing contract (sprinklers, alarms, risers) to the lowest responsive bidder, SA Communal Company, at $83,040; motion passed unanimously.
- Multiple sanitary-engineer and Water Resource Recovery Facility items (acceptance of a sanitary sewer easement on West Central Avenue; requests for simple interest loans for properties on Angola Road; professional services agreements with Feinfelter for western Lucas County infrastructure expansion; an environmental services agreement with the Air National Guard to connect four properties to public water; a 2025 air-quality services agreement with Fischbeck; and authorization to advertise for West influent screen and grit-chamber improvements at WERF, estimated at about $3,600,000). Nate Incrotte presented these items; motions passed unanimously.
- Permission to enter a master service agreement with 4Runner Technologies for Mitel phone-system hardware support; motion passed unanimously.

Each motion referenced above was moved and approved by roll call; recorded votes in the transcript list Commissioner Cabecki, Commissioner Gerken and Commissioner Lopez voting “yes” on the matters listed.

Several speakers thanked Malkin for decades of public service and noted that her work has supported the county’s water and sanitary operations.

Malkin, joined in the chamber by family members, accepted the certificate and thanked her coworkers and the commissioners. Commissioners and staff encouraged her to enjoy retirement and noted she had been active with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME).

The ceremony included short remarks, a certificate presentation and group photographs.

The commissioners proclaimed Francine (Fran) Lawrence and Chris Varwig for their long service to Toledo classrooms and school governance. The recognition included brief remarks from commissioners, union leaders and the honorees, and a ceremonial photograph.

The presentations acknowledged Lawrence’s decades of labor and education advocacy. Commissioner Cabecki introduced Lawrence’s record and said Lawrence had “made her voice known of the importance of public education.” Commissioner Gerken said Lawrence was “fierce, but she was respected.” Kevin Dalton, identified in the meeting as president of the Toledo Federation of Teachers, described Lawrence as “an icon” and said she had encouraged many educators to take leadership roles. Lawrence, who has been active in local and national teacher organizations, accepted the proclamation and thanked the commissioners.

The board then surprised Chris Varwig, a long-serving Toledo Public Schools board member who also served as president of the Ohio School Boards Association, with a proclamation. Commissioners credited Varwig with work on finance, curriculum, facilities and community engagement; one commissioner noted Varwig’s role in revitalizing the TPS Foundation and expanding career-technology programs. Kevin Dalton told the room that Varwig’s “service above self” and hands-on advocacy for families and students had been a model for others. Varwig thanked the board and family members present.

Both proclamations were moved and approved by voice roll call; each motion passed unanimously with the three commissioners voting “yes.” Photos followed the presentations.

The recognitions were ceremonial; no policy changes or funding decisions were made as part of the proclamations.","At a meeting of the Lucas County Board of Commissioners, officials presented proclamations honoring longtime educator and union leader Francine Lawrence and Toledo Public Schools board member Chris Varwig for Women’s History Month.","actionData","errors"]
