Bowles said the new cargo van would better serve mobile technicians than the county's older delivery truck, which he described as \"collecting more dust.\" Commissioner Gerken moved to approve the purchase; the clerk recorded yes votes from Commissioners Gerken, Lopez and Cabecki.

The motion authorizes county procurement of the specified vehicle and execution of the trade‑in; no additional funding contingencies or implementation timelines were recorded during the public remarks.

Director Buckup described the first item as a cost‑share memorandum of agreement permitting the Lucas County Board of Developmental Disabilities to use the county’s Everbridge alerts platform for internal employee and stakeholder notifications. The second item authorizes renewal of an agreement to access the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS), enabling critical public alerts via the Emergency Alert System and Wireless Emergency Alerts.

\"This is a cost share program for access to the Lucas County alerts to the Everbridge platform for Board of Developmental Disabilities to use it for internal notifications to employees, stakeholders for emergency and non emergency internal notifications,\" Buckup said. He explained the IPAWS renewal allows life‑safety emergency messages to reach the public via cell phones and broadcast media.

Commissioner Cabecki thanked staff and noted the importance of including the developmental disabilities board, saying the service helps a community that sometimes gets overlooked. No dissent or recorded amendments were made; commissioners voted yes on the motion to approve.

The approvals permit the county and partner agency to proceed with the technical and administrative steps required by both platforms. The board did not attach additional funding or implementation deadlines during the meeting.

\"We are requesting, they allowed us to apply for level funding this year,\" Weglein said, and provided figures during the meeting: $140,478 in VOCA funds with a required cash match of $35,119.50 provided by Lucas County, and $108,769 in SVAA funding. She said the two grants together would fund nine positions in the prosecutor's office.

Commissioner Lopez moved to approve the grant application request; Commissioners Gerken and Cabecki voted yes on the clerk's roll call.

Weglein described the positions as performing notification of victims about court dates and providing in‑court support. The motion authorized county staff to proceed with grant application and accept level funding should it be awarded; no amendments or additional conditions were recorded during the meeting.

The plan was presented to the board by Emily Douglas McNabb, cofounder of Experience Management Institute, which the county contracted to facilitate the process. Commissioner Cabecki introduced the presentation and moved for adoption; Commissioners Gerken and Lopez voted yes when the clerk called the roll.

The plan sets six operational goals — enhancing service delivery and accessibility; modernizing and optimizing county operations and processes; engaging communications through collaboration; establishing Lucas County as a premier employer; responsibly managing and maintaining county finances; and strengthening board governance and procedural efficiency — and six advocacy areas, including education and workforce development, community safety and resilience, affordable housing and sustainable land use.

\"This is a strategic plan helped, shaped by our community, for our community,\" Emily Douglas McNabb told the commissioners during the presentation. She described a multi‑step process that included department meetings, 16 stakeholder focus groups, 52 interviews and 755 data points from staff and community surveys. Commissioners and staff also reviewed other counties' plans as part of drafting measurable objectives and identifying metrics.

Commissioner Cabecki said the board passed a resolution authorizing the plan process and praised the county team and partner organizations for two years of work to produce the document. Commissioner Gerken described the approval as a \"launch\" of work that will require further metric setting and community engagement. Commissioner Lopez emphasized that enhancing customer service and accessibility is the plan's top priority.

The presentation describes the distinction between operational goals — duties the county manages and that are tied to Ohio Revised Code requirements — and advocacy areas that the board will promote through funding or policy support though these may fall outside the county's direct control. McNabb said departments have begun identifying metrics; the next steps listed in the plan include finalizing metrics for each department, defining process improvement steps and communicating progress to the public.

The county also introduced a new logo tied to the plan, and printed copies of the strategic plan were made available at the meeting. The commissioners directed staff to post the full plan online; Commissioner Cabecki told residents the document is available at co.lucas.oh.us.

The vote to adopt the plan was recorded as yes by Commissioners Cabecki, Gerken and Lopez. The board did not attach additional conditions to the adoption during the meeting.

The plan presentation and adoption took place as part of the regular Board of Commissioners meeting agenda and followed public remarks and the Pledge of Allegiance.

","The Lucas County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously June 24 to adopt a five‑year strategic plan developed with staff, stakeholders and public input; the plan sets six operational goals and six advocacy areas and includes next steps for metrics and communications.","actionData","errors"]
