Morrow County commissioners approve grants, transfers and bid advertising in routine session
Summary
Commissioners approved a consent agenda including bills 1–39, appropriations and transfers, authorized an OPWC grant agreement and an FAA AIP grant for Marconi Airport, approved donation of a sheriff's cruiser, authorized a deputy firearm purchase upon retirement, and cleared advertising for bids on a correctional facility renovation.
The Morrow County Board of Commissioners conducted routine business July 21, approving a consent agenda of bills and multiple administrative actions, awarding authority for several grants and authorizing bid advertisement for a correctional facility renovation.
On the consent agenda, the board approved bills numbered 1 through 39 and recorded payments from Chesterville, Johnsville, Kitterman and Sunoco customers. The board also approved appropriations of unappropriated certified monies for the MCAT fund and for the Job and Family Services (JFS) children's services fund and approved transfers for recycling funds (Fund 2007 and Fund 2006).
The board approved a request from the Morrow County Sheriff’s Office to donate an old cruiser to the American Technical College. It also approved issuance of a certificate of substantial completion for the Morrow County Standby Generator Projects at the Courthouse and Walnut Place.
Grant approvals included an Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) project grant agreement for a local transportation improvement program and authorization for Commissioner John Mason to sign related documents. The board also authorized the chair to sign the U.S. Department of Transportation/Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program (AIP) fiscal year 2025 grant agreement for project 3‑39‑014‑024‑02 for Marconi Airport.
On personnel and equipment matters, the board approved Chief Deputy Troy Landon’s purchase of a department firearm upon his retirement from the Morrow County Sheriff’s Office. Commissioners also approved a correction to a previously missed pay‑range change for an NCAP dispatcher (from pay range 2 to pay range 3).
Finally, the board authorized advertisement for bids for the Morrow County Correctional Facility addition and renovation. Separately, an update from a county speaker noted the long‑planned jail project will go out to bid and estimated a total project cost in the $6.5 million range with about $5.5 million expected from the state and a local match.
Votes at a glance: the transcript records roll‑call affirmative votes for the consent items, appropriations, transfers, donations, grant approvals, the firearms purchase authorization, the NCAP pay‑range correction and the authorization to advertise for correctional facility bids. Specific ordinance or resolution numbers and dollar amounts for some items were not listed in the meeting record.
