The Delaware County Board of Commissioners approved multiple routine administrative resolutions at its Sept. 8 meeting, including approval of the electronic record of proceedings, authorization of payment batches, acknowledgment of an annexation petition, and setting the filing schedule for designation of public depositories.
Resolution 25-717 approved the electronic record of proceedings for the Sept. 8 regular meeting. Resolution 25-718 approved purchase orders and announced certificates and payments of warrants in batch APR0910. Resolution 25-720 acknowledged receipt of an annexation petition filed by an agent for petitioner Michael R. Shade, attorney at law, requesting annexation of 175.79 acres in Delaware Township to the city of Delaware. Resolution 25-721 set the date and time for filing applications for designation of public depositories of county monies for a four-year period commencing Dec. 1, 2025, as required under Section 135.33 of the Ohio Revised Code.
Each motion carried with aye votes from Commissioners Lewis and Merrill; Commissioner Benton was absent for several votes. The items were approved as routine business with no extended discussion or public comment on these specific items.
Why this matters: these routine resolutions provide administrative authorization for county financial operations, set the timetable for designation of public depositories under state law, and formally acknowledge an annexation petition that starts a statutory review process.
Details and next steps: the annexation petition acknowledgement places the petition into the county record for its statutory process; the public-depository filing schedule triggers the notice and application process required by Ohio Revised Code Section 135.33.
