Commissioners approve package of routine resolutions including vehicle purchases, capital projects and IT contract amendment
Summary
The Medina County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on a series of routine resolutions Wednesday, approving purchases and contract amendments across multiple departments including engineering, sanitary, transit, information technology and finance.
The Medina County Board of Commissioners approved a bundle of routine resolutions during their meeting, passing motions that authorized vehicle purchases, bid advertising for water-main work, personnel changes and amendments to technology and finance contracts.
The measures, which were presented by department heads and department representatives, included approval to buy a GMC 4x4 pickup for the engineer’s office; four sanitary-engineering resolutions that authorized water-main replacement advertising and equipment purchases; acceptance of the 2025 Medina County Public Transit Safety Plan; personnel and table-of-organization changes from Human Resources; several finance housekeeping transfers and vendor payments; and an amendment to the county’s fiber service agreement with Lightspeed Hosting.
The engineer’s office sought authorization to buy a GMC 4x4 pickup when “nothing really available in the purchase agreement meets what we’re looking for,” a departmental representative said during the meeting. The sanitary engineering office presented four items: (1) declaring necessity to replace water main along March Road between Grafton and Boston Road and authorizing advertising for construction bids; (2) authorizing purchase of a cargo van for wastewater treatment plant maintenance; (3) authorizing purchase of a single-axle cab chassis with dump body; and (4) declaring necessity to extend water mains on Back Branch Road and authorizing bid advertising.
Finance presented seven resolutions that included expenditure adjustments, a cash transfer related to court fees, print shop revenue recognition ($4,863.76), gasoline purchases ($21,851.15), a planned purchase of 7,000 gallons of unleaded gasoline for engineering at a vendor bid of $1.97 per gallon, expenses for county official travel and the weekly bills (listed as $2,666,542.88). The Information Technology department asked the board to approve a 10‑year amendment with Lightspeed Hosting to flex bandwidth and create a direct fiber link to the Medina County fiber network; commissioners approved that contract amendment.
Other approvals included an $18,400 consulting agreement for restroom renovations at the Human Services Center and acceptance of 2025 HEAP funding for Medina County Senior Services in the amount of $5,767.49. A commissioners’ resolution approving an expedited annexation petition of 1.7418 acres from Wadsworth Township to the city of Wadsworth was also approved.
Roll calls recorded during the meeting show a unanimous vote on each resolution. For the votes captured in the transcript, Commissioners Swedeck, Hambley and Harrison recorded “Yes” on the motions called.
