The Greene County Board of Commissioners met Dec. 31, 2024, and moved a slate of routine year‑end business, approving transfers, contracts, small program expenditures and board appointments while adopting a resolution honoring a deputy who served roughly 25 years.

Commissioners approved the minutes and vouchers and authorized year‑end transfers to implement a previously approved 3% lump‑sum payment and vacation payouts. County staff noted a Clerk of Courts annual transfer from the title fund to the general fund of about $807,000. The board authorized the county administrator to make any remaining transfer or payment adjustments needed to close the year.

The board approved several personnel appointments and reappointments: Angela Rayner to the Convention & Visitors Bureau (term beginning Jan. 1, 2025, through Dec. 30, 2028); Mary Siesa to replace Jennifer Taylor on the CVB through Dec. 30, 2025; Carl Colon reappointed to the law library board through Dec. 30, 2030; and Jeff Brock reappointed to the county library board through Dec. 30, 2031. Commissioners approved those appointments by voice vote.

Financial and grant actions included authorization for the Department of Development to spend up to $1,700 during 2025 for meals at economic development meetings and authorization for Veteran Services to spend up to $2,000 for the Warrior Resiliency Team meetings. The board approved an Office of Criminal Justice Services subgrant for the sheriff’s office under the Greene County Safe Community program, with the transcript indicating an amount reported as roughly $55,004; the transcript contains unclear cents notation for that figure.

On capital and project work, commissioners awarded the CDBG home‑repair contract for 46 West Xenia Street in Cedarville to Reliable Home Improvement for a low bid of $15,800; approved a county draw of $106,037.73 toward the North Fairfield Road resurfacing project in Beavercreek (staff said this was the fourth draw and that the total project is about $1 million, with the city providing other funds); and approved Silver Creek Township’s application for road materials with county participation of $2,850.61 (the township had requested $3,200).

The board authorized the county engineer to use force account for 2025 and approved entering into a contract with Fillmore Construction for a truck‑garage drain replacement project. They also awarded the Miami Valley Juvenile Rehabilitation Center interior renovation contract to AKA Construction (the transcript references a base bid figure near $599,600 but contains inconsistent numeric rendering). Procurement staff said a PLC upgrade project will be re‑advertised after receiving zero bids on the original solicitation and after expanding eligible PLC manufacturers.

Following a qualifications‑based selection process, the board authorized the county engineer to enter into a consulting contract with Goodhue Consulting for traffic engineering services for 2024–2025. The board accepted a 75% reduced performance bond for Amberwood West Section 2 (sanitary sewer and water) and approved release of performance bonds for Nathaniel’s Grove Section 10.

The board adopted a resolution thanking Deputy Gilbert for roughly 25 years of service to the Greene County Sheriff’s Office and the community; the transcript includes inconsistent first‑name spellings for the deputy. Commissioners offered year‑end comments, thanked staff and welcomed incoming Commissioner Sarah Maes. The meeting adjourned with the next regular meeting set for Jan. 9, 2025, at 1:00 p.m.

Votes at a glance: The motions recorded in the transcript were approved by voice votes (responses recorded as “Aye”); individual roll calls and detailed tallies were not consistently recorded for every item in the transcript.
