The Eastern Delaware County Joint Recreation District voted to adopt Resolution 2026‑01, authorizing the annual acquisition or renewal of insurance coverage. A presenter explained that the district’s current coverage is through the Ohio Plan through Sept. 12 and recommended adopting the resolution to allow renewal or procurement of a different plan when the current coverage expires.

After discussion, a board member moved to adopt Resolution 2026‑01; the motion was seconded and carried by recorded voice/roll-call votes.

The board then considered Resolution 2026‑02, a cybersecurity policy the presenter said is required by the Ohio General Assembly for political subdivisions. The presenter summarized the policy (attached as Exhibit A), saying it would require reporting ransomware and cybersecurity incidents to the Ohio Department of Homeland Security and the Ohio Auditor of State, and would designate a security representative or information‑security officer (ISO) to be the contact for any incident.

Board members noted the district currently does not host its own systems and relies on the city of Sunbury and a contracted third‑party vendor for hosting, monitoring and staff education. Members asked whether the district could rely on Sunbury’s policies or designate a volunteer ISO. Several members said they wanted more time to review the policy language and to clarify who would serve as the ISO.

A motion was made and seconded to table Resolution 2026‑02 until a future meeting; the motion passed on the board’s vote. Members noted the resolution’s adoption would also include designation of an ISO, which the board preferred to consider with fuller review.

Other business: the board discussed timing for annual officer elections and agreed to table elections until the next regular meeting; staff provided an update that Galena had approved its $10,000 share of the budget; and the board scheduled its next regular meeting for March 9 at 6:00 p.m. The meeting adjourned after a final motion.
