Wright County adopts courthouse grounds use policy, approves shared naturalist agreement; road vacation tabled
Summary
The Wright County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 2025-13 establishing a courthouse grounds use policy, approved a shared naturalist agreement with Franklin County, and tabled Resolution 2025-14 (Youngblood Avenue vacation) pending staff follow-up.
The Wright County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt Resolution 2025-13, establishing a courthouse grounds use policy, and approved a shared naturalist services agreement with Franklin County. The board also tabled Resolution 2025-14, the proposed vacation of Youngblood Avenue, to allow staff to gather additional drainage and access information requested by affected landowners.
During the vote on Resolution 2025-13, supervisors voted aloud; the chair recorded the board’s ayes: “Betty, Aye. Lynn, Aye. Ashley, Aye. Dean, Aye.” The resolution had been reviewed with the Clarion Community Development Authority regarding courtyard electrical outlet access, and board members said they prefer safety committee review before finalizing related procedural details.
Separately, the board approved a one-year shared naturalist agreement with Franklin County (staff characterized the contract as largely similar to last year’s agreement, with a 30-day notice clause and projections for potential salary increases). The motion to approve the shared naturalist agreement passed by voice vote.
Finally, consistent with public comments at the road-vacation hearing, the board voted unanimously to table Resolution 2025-14 to let secondary roads staff and the engineer identify culverts, intakes and access options for affected landowners before any final action.
