The Medina County Board of Commissioners approved a series of routine departmental resolutions and budget adjustments during its March meeting, including multiple road and equipment purchases, sanitary‑service contract actions, a two‑year recycling contract extension and personnel changes.
Dan Becker, the county engineer, presented seven resolutions covering a temporary closure of Mud Lake Road for tree work, acceptance and award of 2026 asphalt overlay and chip‑and‑seal projects, a resurfacing finding for Greenwich Road, and authorization to buy a plow and a pickup and to declare certain equipment excess. "I've got 7 resolutions for your consideration," Becker said as he outlined the items. A commissioner moved to approve the package and the board adopted the resolutions by roll call.
Jeremy Cinco, the county sanitary engineer, asked the board to approve change order No. 2 for the 2024 home sewage system replacement project and to award a soil‑scientist services contract for the 2025 replacement program; commissioners approved both. Barb Walden of the Solid Waste District secured approval of a two‑year extension for drop‑off recycling services after a brief roll‑call vote.
Brett Thomas, the county finance director, presented eight finance resolutions including expenditure adjustments, inventory transfers and the weekly bills totaling $640,908.90. "Our eighth resolution is our weekly bills in the amount of $640,908.90," Thomas said. Commissioners approved the finance package and the appropriation amendments as presented.
The board also appointed Tom Miller to a county advisory council and received notices including a liquor‑permit filing for Buzzards Landing (Cleveland Metroparks). Several department reports — planning, senior services, veterans services and OSU Extension — provided updates on grant timing, services and upcoming events. The meeting adjourned after the board declined an executive session and voted to adjourn.
