Miami County commissioners approve change order, contracts, grants and personnel moves; cancel March 12 meeting
Summary
At their March 5, 2025 meeting the Miami County Board of Commissioners unanimously canceled the March 12 meeting and approved a series of items including a gas-meter change order (after a reconsideration), two ISG technology agreements, a health-department grant signature, and the removal and interim appointment at the Fontana Fire District.
Miami County commissioners on March 5 approved a set of administrative and personnel actions, including a change order to relocate a gas meter, two information-technology agreements with ISG, signature of annual health-department grant paperwork, cancellation of the March 12 meeting and the immediate removal of a Fontana Fire District chief with an interim appointment.
The votes: Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution cancelling the March 12 meeting because of a lack of quorum. A change order to relocate a gas meter and add additional gas supply line initially passed 4–1; after Commissioner Robert Scripps said he had mistakenly voted earlier and moved to reconsider, the board reconsidered and approved the relocation unanimously on a second vote. The board approved two agreements with ISG Technology — a managed-services agreement and a managed cloud-backup service — both unanimously. The board approved the Miami County Health Department’s “Aid to Local” grant signature page unanimously. Following an executive session, the board voted unanimously to relieve Chief Finity of her duties at the Fontana Fire District and appointed Deputy Chief Brandon Ream as interim chief while the board evaluates the station’s roster.
Several votes included recorded movers and seconders when provided in the meeting record. The transcript shows motions and seconds by multiple commissioners: the initial motion to approve the gas-meter change order was moved by Commissioner Vaughn and seconded by Commissioner Bridal; the motion to reconsider was made following comments by Commissioner Scripps and carried unanimously; the final approval was moved by Commissioner Vaughn and seconded by Commissioner Pickering. The ISG contract was moved by Commissioner Vickery and seconded by Commissioner Scruggs. The health-grant signature was moved by Commissioner Dideker and seconded by Commissioner Vaughn. The motion to relieve Chief Finity and appoint Deputy Chief Brandon Ream was moved by Commissioner Vaughn and seconded by Commissioner Vickery.
No ordinances, first/second readings, or resolutions with statutory citations were introduced on the record during the meeting. The board’s actions were primarily administrative: procurement/contract approvals, a grant signature, schedule change, a change order for county infrastructure, and a personnel action following an executive session.
