Following the recognition ceremony, the Franklin County Board of Commissioners moved through its regular agenda and adopted a series of routine resolutions covering contracts, road projects, grants, purchases and appointments.
Domestic relations court staff presented Resolution 6126 to award a one‑year linen and laundry contract for the Franklin County Juvenile Intervention Center to Buckeye Linen Service in the estimated amount of $46,550; the resolution passed by recorded voice votes from the commissioners.
The County engineer asked the Board to declare necessary improvements under Resolution 6226 for sidewalks, curb ramps and crossing upgrades in Madison Township funded by the Ohio Department of Transportation’s Safe Routes to School program, and presented a separate contract authorization (Resolution 6326) to hire West Erie Realty Solutions for property acquisition services related to the Ferris Road reconstruction ($274,000). The Board also approved requests to ask ODOT to study speed limits on Amity Road and on Darby Creek Road with proposed reductions on study recommendation (Resolutions 6426 and 6526).
IT and infrastructure matters included Resolution 6626, an extension of an enterprise content‑management contract with 3SG Plus for $2,044,942.19 that the data center said locks in a 2% annual increase through December 2030 and yields an estimated $239,000 savings over the contract life. Resolution 6726 authorized a voice‑over‑IP phone system contract to replace legacy copper lines, with annual costs to be offset by retiring those lines.
Economic Development and Planning staff obtained approval to use CDBG funds for two nonprofit agreements: $25,000 to Homes on the Hill for HUD‑certified housing counseling (Resolution 6826) and $60,092 to Life Care Alliance for home‑delivered meals for low‑ and moderate‑income homebound residents (Resolution 6926). The Office of Justice Policy and Programs received approval for a $73,500 contract with The Strategy Team LTD (d/b/a Luminology) to support a city/county domestic violence task force (Resolution 7026) and the Board adopted the Franklin County Criminal Justice Planning Board strategic plan for 2025–2029 (Resolution 7126).
Purchasing presented Resolution 7226 approving 15 purchase orders totaling $1,176,848.30; the resolution passed but with Commissioner Boyce noted as abstaining. The Board also appointed four new members to the Criminal Justice Planning Board (Resolution 7326) and recorded several administrative journalizations and two expedited annexation petitions to be considered on March 3, 2026. The meeting concluded with the Board voting to convene into an executive session to discuss security arrangements and emergency response protocols (Resolution 7426).
