Morrow County commissioners approve routine appropriations, contracts and appointments; hear jail and airport updates
The Morrow County Board of Commissioners on a date not specified in the transcript approved a series of routine appropriations, authorized contracts and confirmed an appointment, and heard staff updates about the county jail and airport projects.

The board approved transfers and appropriations of unappropriated certified funds across several county accounts, including the job and human services fund (CFDA referenced), the capital improvement fund for architectural services, general fund maintenance and janitorial payroll accounts, social services fund accounts, the development office general fund account, the employer retirement resources fund (identified as fund 3777), and engineering and clerk-of-sales fund accounts. The transcript records motions and unanimous roll-call affirmations for these routine budget actions; specific dollar amounts were not specified in the meeting record.

The board also approved an agreement with Maximus US Services Inc.; the meeting record indicated a three-year term for that agreement. Commissioners considered a proposal for professional services related to the North County Courthouse; a motion to approve the proposal was recorded and subsequently carried in the votes listed below. The board approved an appointment of an ad hoc member to an Ohio Power-related board for the Crossroads solar facility project.

County staff reported project updates: at the county airport, staff said a fuel cabinet was expected to arrive and that work to wire and plumb it was underway; no contractor names or cost details were given. On the county jail project, staff said the lead architect had stepped away and a replacement architect had been identified; staff said they expect to meet with that person soon to ensure continuity before an upcoming bid opening. Staff characterized the next few weeks as a “critical period” for the jail procurement timeline.
