Summary
At a late‑April 2026 session, the Morrow County Board of Commissioners approved routine bills and several fund transfers, moved an alternate to full membership on the Board of Zoning Appeals, voted to hold five construction bids for review, and approved a $5,800 quote for Board of Elections IT work.
The Morrow County Board of Commissioners met in late April 2026 and approved routine bills and fund transfers, moved an alternate on the Board of Zoning Appeals to full member status, and voted to hold five construction bids for further review. The board also approved a $5,800 quote from AW Enterprise LLC for Board of Elections IT work.
The Chair opened the meeting with a welcome and an invocation, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. The Clerk presented the minutes from the April 27 regular session and the board approved them by roll call.
On routine finances, the board approved bills and a set of payments, which the Clerk read aloud and moved for approval. The Clerk also referenced an appropriation from the engineers' fund included on the agenda; the transcript phrased that appropriation in terms not fully clarified in the record. The board approved a transfer to the sheriff's 911 levy fund by roll call.
The Clerk presented a purchase-of-service agreement renewal described in the transcript as between 'Mark and the village network' and requested the Chair sign. The Clerk told the board that the rate for the renewal "went up 8 to 11%"; the motion to approve the renewal was seconded and approved by roll call.
Five bids for a county construction project were announced and recorded: 2K General Company, $939,190.10; Sutterlin, $1,295,052.30; Layman Damon Construction Services, $1,000,087.00; Stevens Construction, $827,250.00; and J and F Construction and Development, $862,610.00. The board moved and voted to hold all five bids for further review.
The board approved a $5,800 quote from AW Enterprise LLC for Board of Elections IT work after a motion, a second and affirmative roll-call votes.
Commissioners also heard an update on county property appraisals. One commissioner said appraisals were completed earlier in the week, that appraisers requested about seven follow-up items (five related to newly added property), and that documentation had been forwarded for follow-up — "They did a great job," the commissioner said.
A commissioner reminded attendees about a 2:00 p.m. historical‑marker dedication at the town square in "Bridal," noting state delegates may attend. The meeting concluded after final motions and roll‑call votes.
