Summary
The Franklin County Board of Commissioners approved a series of routine resolutions including a street vacation in Mifflin Township, contract extensions with Data Transfer Solutions and AT&T, several subawards and countywide purchase orders totaling about $1.8 million.
The Franklin County Board of Commissioners met for a brief session and approved multiple routine resolutions, including a petition to vacate part of Aberdeen Avenue in Leonard Park Extension and contract, procurement and grant actions.
Among the items adopted were Resolution 14326, granting Mifflin Township’s petition to vacate a portion of Aberdeen Avenue and associated unnamed alleys in Leonard Park Extension, and Resolution 14526, which amended prior compensation to provide $15,000 to an affected property owner for drainage improvements on Zuber Road/Plumb Road in Pleasant/Jackson Township. The board also approved Resolution 14626 authorizing the county administrator to sign range-use agreements so other agencies may use the Franklin County Sheriff’s Firing Range and Training Academy for the remainder of calendar year 2026.
Information technology and facilities actions approved included Resolution 14426, a contract modification and extension with Data Transfer Solutions LLC to support the county’s View Works asset management system (the record cites a revised contract figure of $157,625 and also lists an incremental amount inconsistently as $55,125 and $52,500); and Resolution 14726, a 36-month extension with AT&T for session initiation protocol services with a cited amount of $500,000. Public Facilities Management secured a one-year extension of mowing and landscaping contracts (Resolution 15026) not to exceed $108,000.
Human services and workforce grants approved included a $118,368 subaward to Liberians in Columbus Inc. for a Community Wellness Navigator program intended to serve no fewer than 95 residents (Resolution 14826) and a $35,000 subaward to the Columbus Urban League to support the My Brother’s Closet men’s workforce suiting program, described in the record as serving roughly 100 TANF-eligible men (Resolution 14926).
Procurement approvals included Resolution 15126, which the purchasing director presented for 107 purchase orders totaling $1,812,397.27, and Resolution 15226 approving one purchase order for the Coroner’s Office in the amount of $2,500. The record indicates the county auditor had precertified available funding for these purchases.
