Workshop roundup: commissioners review contracts, hires and move into executive session on employee matter
Summary
At the Trumbull County commissioners' February workshop, staff presented routine items including a municipal advisory agreement, a recommended $21,000 EMA design contract, Access Family Services shelter funding notifications, a $1,253 stove purchase for the juvenile center, the hire of a draftsperson, and a motion to enter executive session under ORC 121.22(G)(1) to discuss a personnel matter.
The Trumbull County Board of Commissioners' workshop covered a series of routine and administrative items.
Agenda highlights included a municipal advisory agreement with NAS Financial Advisory Services LLC (term cited in the meeting as 02/05/2026–02/04/2027; quoted advisory fee $8,000 but payable only if issuance costs do not cover the advisory fee), a recommendation to hire Baker, Bednar, Snyder & Associates for EMA relocation design work at $21,000, authorization to notify Someplace Safe of eligibility for domestic-violence shelter funds (about $17 per qualifying divorce/dissolution fee), and a maintenance-recommended purchase of a replacement stove/oven for the juvenile justice center for $1,253.
Paul Martin (sanitary engineer) presented the hire of Michael Sarchick as a draftsperson to replace a 2025 resignation; Sarchick is reported to start work the following Thursday. County planning requested authorization to mail notices to licensed drain layers for the Project Year 25 HSTS grant. The sanitary engineer also presented an additional work item — adding poly‑ortho‑phosphate dosing for an Elm Road booster‑station project — estimated at $7,400 with ongoing chemical costs.
Before adjourning, the board moved into executive session. Speaker 3 made a motion to enter executive session pursuant to Ohio Revised Code 121.22(G)(1) to consider dismissal or discipline and an investigation concerning a public employee in the sanitary‑engineer support unit; the motion and subsequent reconvening were recorded in the workshop transcript excerpt. The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn was seconded and the transcript records commissioners voting yes on adjournment.
