The board approved a Certificate of Substantial Completion for the Tuscarawas County Health Department addition and authorized payment of bills across funds totaling $296,013.51, including large highway and equipment purchases recorded in the K00 fund.
Tuscarawas County commissioners on March 4 approved a Certificate of Substantial Completion for the Tuscarawas County Health Department's new addition and renovations, and voted to pay bills across multiple funds totaling $296,013.51.
Commissioner Mitch Pace moved to approve the Certificate of Substantial Completion for the Health Department project; Commissioner Greg Ress seconded, and the board adopted Resolution 168-2026 on a unanimous vote.
The board then approved payment of bills listed on the agenda (Resolution 169-2026). The voucher list spans general fund and multiple special funds; the meeting record shows notable line items including a K00 (highway) fund total of $194,027.65 and a $41,900 purchase listed in the U40 fund to Ferris Chevrolet Inc. The agenda records a grand total of $296,013.51 across all funds.
Why it matters: Approval of the Certificate of Substantial Completion signals that the Health Department addition and interior renovations have reached the contractor-completion milestone the county uses to authorize final project billing and closeout steps. The multi-fund bill payments include significant highway and equipment expenditures that will be reflected in county financial statements.
Next steps: County accounting staff will post approved payments and the Health Department project will move toward final closeout procedures per county contracting practices.
