Auglaize County commissioners approve resolutions, advance Neil Armstrong Airport taxiway bids
Summary
On March 3, 2026, the Auglaize County Board of Commissioners approved a package of resolutions, directed staff to proceed with the base bid plus two alternatives for the Neil Armstrong Airport taxiway project, and reviewed county operational items including a possible CDBG pre-application and tree removals at a tower site.
The Auglaize County Board of Commissioners met in regular session March 3, 2026, and approved a package of resolutions presented at the start of the meeting. President John Bergman called the session to order at 8:00 a.m., Commissioner David Bambauer moved to approve the resolutions as presented and Commissioner Douglas A. Spencer seconded; the resolutions were distributed for each commissioner's vote and execution (individual vote tallies were not specified in the transcript).
County Administrator Erica L. Preston presented a series of operational updates and project items. She said the county received an invoice for an elevator inspection at the Acres site and that she would obtain further details from the State of Ohio. On the Neil Armstrong Airport taxiway project, the Board determined to proceed with the base bid and Alternative 1 and Alternative 2.
Preston also reported that a pre-application has been requested for a potential Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project in the county; the transcript records the request but does not indicate approval or funding decisions. She briefed commissioners on the Waynesfield Tower Project, noting that 15 trees are marked for removal and must be removed by March 31, 2026.
Other operational notes included a county paper order placed with Wapakoneta City Schools, discussion of a draft retire/rehire policy for the Auglaize County Engineer's office, and scheduling regular monthly meetings with the Maintenance Supervisor to address ongoing maintenance items.
