Williams County commissioners approve multiple contracts, enter CDBG programmatic agreement
Summary
During a regular session commissioners approved a set of resolutions including awarding an asphalt emulsion contract to KTech Specialty Coatings and entering a programmatic agreement for CDBG/state funds through Dec. 31, 2029; several child placement and social-service contracts were also authorized.
Williams County commissioners during a regular meeting approved a series of resolutions that award public works contracts, authorize social‑service vendor agreements and implement a programmatic state grant agreement.
The most immediate action was Resolution 60, which accepted and awarded the bid for Project 1-4025 (an asphalt emulsion project) to KTech Specialty Coatings. The clerk introduced the resolution and commissioners moved, seconded and approved the motion by voice vote.
The board also approved Resolution 61, a programmatic agreement that covers Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and other state-awarded funds to Williams County; the clerk said the agreement runs through Dec. 31, 2029. Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the resolution by voice vote.
Several contracted vendor authorizations under the county’s 4(E) arrangement with Job and Family Services (JFS) were approved: - Resolution 62: a JFS contract with OhioGuidestone (listed in the meeting as Ohio GuideStone/Ohio Headstone) with a maximum payable amount cited in the meeting as $5,000 and a term beginning Jan. 1, 2025 through Dec. 31, 2025. The motion passed by voice vote. - Resolution 63: a 4(E) contract with The Marsh Foundation; the clerk announced a maximum payable figure of $150,000. Commissioners approved the motion by voice vote. The meeting included discussion describing the Marsh Foundation residential program for children but did not record additional contract terms beyond the maximum amount announced by the clerk. - Resolution 64: a 4(E) contract identified as with "Foundation for Living" (as introduced in the meeting). The clerk announced an authorization; specific maximums and term language were not clearly stated in the transcript. - Resolution 65: a 4(E) contract with Safe House Ministries Group Home, with the clerk stating a maximum payable amount of $150,000 and a term beginning 2025; the motion passed by voice vote.
Other business approved included a JFS‑related administrative item describing Maximus cost‑allocation work (used by the county to calculate reimbursable time and overhead) and a procedural action to withdraw an annexation petition: Resolution 67 withdrew petition 2-2024 filed by Shelby White to annex property to the city of Bryan from what the transcript records as "Alaska Township;" commissioners recorded the withdrawal and approved the motion by voice vote.
Most of the resolutions were handled with brief staff introductions followed by motions and voice votes; the meeting record does not include roll‑call tallies by member for these items.
