Morrow County commissioners approve bills, transfer funds, seek design services for transit office and appoint Tyler Butler

Morrow County commissioners during a brief regular session approved bills numbered 1–84, authorized a transfer from the general fund to cover an information-technology payment, approved a request for qualifications for architectural design services for the Morrow County Area Transit (MCAT) office and appointed Tyler Butler to a county board.

The approvals affect routine county operations and near-term projects: the bills package and fund transfer cover payroll and vendor obligations and an IT invoice, while the RFQ moves the county toward selecting architects for a transit office. The appointment fills a seat on what the transcript identifies as the "Keith Moore County Beautiful Board." Commissioners also noted a scheduled opening and public open house for the Chester Hill firehouse and discussed participation in an April 2025 250th‑anniversary observance.

The board voted on each item by roll call. Commissioners recorded unanimous approval of the bills package (bills No. 1–84), the transfer from the general fund, the RFQ for architectural services for the MCAT office, and the appointment of Tyler Butler. Meeting remarks recorded that the Big Walnut Joint Fire District paid a connection and permit fee and that the auditor processed a payment related to real estate cost allocation; those items were cited as part of the bills/appropriations discussion.

Action details: - Approval of bills No. 1–84: motion moved and seconded; roll call recorded Commissioner Mason, Commissioner Abraham and Commissioner Siegfried voting yes. - Transfer of funds from the general fund: motion moved and seconded to appropriate certified money to cover an IT payment; roll call recorded Mason, Abraham and Siegfried voting yes. - Approval of a request for qualifications (RFQ) for architectural design services for the Morrow County Area Transit office: motion moved and seconded; roll call recorded Mason, Abraham and Siegfried voting yes. - Approval of a new appointment (transcript: "Keith Moore County Beautiful Board") of Tyler Butler: motion moved and seconded; roll call recorded Mason, Abraham and Siegfried voting yes.

During commissioner remarks, the meeting record notes the Chester Hill firehouse is scheduled to open March 5 and that the fire district plans an open house April 13 (identified in the record as Palm Sunday). Commissioners also referenced the CCAO newsletter and a county 250th‑anniversary commemoration planned for April 2025.
