Summary
At a July 9, 2025 session, the Morrow County Board of Commissioners adopted the FY2026 tax budget and approved a series of routine actions: an appointment to the mental-health board, facility renovation spending, an IT security renewal, reappointments and appropriations for elections and juvenile housing.
Morrow County commissioners on July 9 adopted the county tax budget for fiscal year 2026 and approved a slate of routine motions including appointments, contract renewals and appropriations.
The board voted to adopt the FY2026 county tax budget after a motion and second during the regular session. Commissioners also approved the payment of bills numbered 1 through 46 and several appropriations, including certified funds to cover board-of-elections settlement fees and a general-fund juvenile-housing appropriation.
The board appointed Nathan Braden to the Delaware Morrow Mental Health and Recovery Services Board for a term beginning July 1 and ending June 30, 2029. The appointment was moved, seconded and approved by the commissioners.
Contract and procurement items approved included a Logicalis quote to renew a Cisco email security appliance and a $43,500 quote from Royal Restoration for renovation work at the Community Service Building; commissioners also approved an appropriation from the Community Service Building capital improvements account to cover the renovation cost. A reappointment to the Flood Plain Appeals Board (transcript name: "data Gentile") was also approved.
Other routine procedural items passed by roll call included the certification of a levy request referenced in the meeting and the resend and appropriation steps related to an election-settlement transfer (recorded in the session as "Resolution 25 t 0 4 8"). All recorded roll-call items in the transcript show affirmative votes from the commissioners present.
The meeting followed customary procedure for each motion: a motion and a second were recorded, the chair called the roll by naming individual commissioners, and each named commissioner registered "Yes." The session concluded after no additional business was raised and the board adjourned.
What happens next: Approved appropriations will be executed by county staff and the county will proceed under the adopted FY2026 tax budget. The appointment to the Mental Health and Recovery Services Board takes effect July 1 per the motion.
