The Ottawa County Board of Commissioners on Oct. 7, 2025, approved a voucher report totaling $1,621,841.82, established a new sanitary engineering fund titled "PCI 450 Upgrade/I&I project" and authorized several interdepartmental transfers and appropriations.

The actions were moved by Commissioner Mark W. Stahl and seconded by Commissioner Donald A. Douglas and were approved unanimously by Commissioner Mark E. Coppeler, Commissioner Mark W. Stahl and Commissioner Donald A. Douglas.

The voucher report covered payments dated Oct. 2, 3 and 6, 2025, and the board authorized the County Auditor to issue warrants on the county treasury for payment. The motion also approved attached "Then and Now" vouchers; voucher reports are available for review in the office of the Ottawa County Commissioners in accordance with the county Records Retention Schedule.

The board established a new fund for the Sanitary Engineering Department titled "PCI 450 Upgrade/I&I project." The transcript records that this action was taken pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Section 5705.09(F) and at the request of the Sanitary Engineering Department.

Separately, the board authorized transfers and appropriations as requested by the Prosecutor’s Office, Emergency Management Agency and the Engineer’s Office. Those transfers and appropriations were approved in a motion moved by Commissioner Stahl and seconded by Commissioner Douglas and recorded as a unanimous vote.

The meeting record shows these were formal approvals; no debate or additional details about the amounts for the transfers and appropriations or the PCI 450 project scope were provided in the transcript.

The board also recorded routine approvals earlier in the meeting, including acceptance of minutes and travel expense requests. Additional budget items including a Budget Commission resignation and appointment and consideration of 2026 budgets were listed on the County Administrator's agenda but not described further in the public transcript.
