Delaware County commissioners approve a slate of routine resolutions — piggyback EMS contract, right-of-way services, utility permits — and enter executive sesS
Summary
Delaware County commissioners on Nov. 11 approved a set of routine resolutions covering purchase orders and warrants, EMS contract participation for Jerome Township, right-of-way acquisition services for a safety improvement project and utility permits, then voted to enter executive session to consider an appointment.
At their Nov. 11 meeting the Delaware County Board of Commissioners approved a package of routine administrative and engineering actions and voted to move into an executive session to consider an appointment.
Votes at a glance - Resolution 25-933: Approved purchase orders and payment of warrants for batch CMAPR1107 (unanimous). - Resolution 25-936: Approved permitting Jerome Township (Union County) to join the county's ZOLL contract for cardiac monitors and mechanical CPR devices; county EMS Director Jeff Fischel said joining would save the township about $12,000 and would have no cost to Delaware County (unanimous). - Resolution 25-937: Approved a right-of-way acquisition services agreement (O.R. Paul & Associates) for the South Old State Road and Hollenbeck Road intersection project in Berlin Township; the project includes a traffic signal, right- and left-turn lanes and roadway widening, with construction expected to run about 10 months beginning late 2026 (unanimous). - Resolution 25-938: Approved eight standard right-of-way utility permits as summarized by the Engineer's Office (unanimous).
The Engineer's Office (Lee Bodnar) explained the scope and recommended approval of right-of-way services and permits. Commissioners discussed local safety needs at nearby intersections and expressed support for the project timeline.
Finally, the board approved Resolution 25-939 and adjourned into executive session to consider the appointment of a public employee or public official; the vote to enter executive session was unanimous. The board provided no public details about the appointment during open session.
Implementation notes: the Jerome Township participation in the ZOLL contract is described as saving the township money (approx. $12,000) and posed no county cost according to EMS staff. Construction scheduling for the South Old State/Hollenbeck project was presented as late 2026 into 2027, with a roughly ten-month construction window; the engineer noted more information is available on the county website.
No motions failed at the meeting; all listed resolutions passed by unanimous vote.
