The Greene County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 30 approved a slate of administrative and procurement items, including grant agreements, advertising for bids, a services award, personnel policy updates and routine vouchers and transfers.
Key actions adopted (summary):
- Vouchers and routine fiscal approvals: Commissioners approved vouchers and the motions to approve travel/training items and transfers of appropriations. A county official noted a $3,300,000 advance repayment to the county from sanitary engineering tied to an EDA reimbursement for the Beavercreek lift station elimination project.
- Appointments and personnel: The board appointed Bill Miller as the county apiary inspector for 2025 at the same $4,500 appropriation provided in the budget. The board approved a minor revision to the county personal leave policy to express leave in hours (24‑hour days) and allow use in hour increments (down to tenths of an hour).
- Procurement and advertising: The county engineer was authorized to advertise for the 2025 collective chip‑seal bid, with advertising set for Feb. 7, 2025. The board authorized advertising for the Michael’s House sensory‑installation project; the project had previously been approved for $40,000 in CDBG funds.
- Brownfield remediation grants: Commissioners approved grant agreements under the Ohio Department of Development Brownfield Remediation Program for sites at 1791 South Charleston Road, Jamestown, and 5619 Hussey Road, Jamestown; the county said demolition contracts are already in place and these agreements secure state funds for remediation.
- SCADA services: Following a qualifications‑based selection, the board awarded as‑needed SCADA support services to CDM Smith and authorized entering into a contract for those services; staff said CDM Smith is familiar with the county’s SCADA system and was the selection team’s choice.
Each item was moved, seconded and recorded as approved; the meeting record shows aye votes by the commissioners for the listed motions.
For the Michael’s House, the board noted the $40,000 CDBG award will fund sensory‑equipment procurement and authorized staff to advertise intake bids. For the chip‑seal advertising, the board authorized the county engineer to take bids on the countywide collective chip‑seal program.
The board also recognized travel and training for CVB staff and approved the advertising and contract award steps needed to implement the listed projects. Several items were described by staff as routine fiscal housekeeping or contract‑administration steps rather than new policy decisions.
