The Medina County Board of Commissioners approved a series of year-end resolutions covering budget cleanups, infrastructure projects, personnel appointments and procurement during its final meeting of the year.
Finance director Brett Thomas presented 16 resolutions that the board approved by roll call. The package included increased appropriations, transfers and expenditure adjustments to finalize the year-end accounting; revenue adjustments; cash transfers including $272,182 for the county home levy fund; and temporary-budget actions that front‑loaded capital improvements, including a $1,000,000 allocation identified for the engineering roof because of water intrusion into the server room. The package also accepted a state and local cybersecurity grant totaling $36,875 (local match $7,375; grant funds $29,500) and certified amounts and rates determined by the budget commission; weekly bills of $5,134,083.26 were presented and approved.
Separately, the board approved departmental procurement and contract items: awarding the Windfall Water Storage Tank rehabilitation bid; authorizing change order No. 2 for the Fenn and Marks Road elevated water storage tank; authorizing agreements with DLZ Corporation to model the water system; engaging Hazen and Sawyer to review a CMAR guaranteed maximum price for the Chippewa wastewater treatment plant; and purchasing a CASE wheel loader for the Liverpool wastewater treatment plant. The highway engineer (represented by Dan Becker) also obtained approval to close Lake Road temporarily for tree trimming.
The county administrator’s package of five resolutions was approved, including a contract with FMD for design services for the dog shelter, 2026 food service agreements with Aramark for the county home and detention facilities, a temporary liquor permit for a fairground event, and a change-order credit of $18,459 on the county home project.
Human resources resolutions to appoint members and alternates to the Medina County Planning Commission and a separate two-resolution package addressing hires, promotions, transfers, rate increases and an amendment to the table of organization were approved. Transit service agreements for fiscal year 2026 were approved to meet local match requirements for state grants.
All motions listed on the public agenda were carried by roll call vote; where a combined motion covered multiple listed resolutions, the board approved the combined package. No formal votes failed during the public portion of the meeting.
