Morrow County commissioners approve refrigerator for coroner, funded from opioid settlement
Summary
The Morrow County Board of Commissioners approved purchase of a refrigerator for the county coroner and appropriated funds from the county's opioid settlement fund to cover the cost; the measure passed unanimously by roll call.
Morrow County commissioners voted on Feb. 12, 2025, to approve the purchase of a refrigerator for use by the county coroner and to appropriate funds from the county's opioid settlement account to pay for it. The motion passed on a roll-call vote with Mason, Abraham and Siegfried recorded as voting in the affirmative.
The request was presented during the meeting by county staff, who identified the appliance as necessary for coroner operations. Commissioners moved and seconded the item during the regular session; the board then appropriated certified unappropriated monies from the opioid settlement fund for the purchase. The transcript did not include a dollar figure for the refrigerator; the amount was not specified in the public record provided.
The approval was part of routine county business on the consent/finance portion of the agenda, which also included multiple payments and reimbursements read into the record. The meeting record shows the vote was taken by roll call with the named members voting yes. No public comment opposing the purchase was recorded.
Next steps: the county will issue the purchase order and complete the appropriation from the opioid settlement fund. The transcript does not record an estimated delivery date or vendor for the refrigerator.
