County administrator reports on WAEDC meeting, courthouse repairs, juvenile fund and staffing
Summary
County Administrator Erica L. Preston briefed the Board on a recent Wapakoneta Area Economic Development Council meeting, presented a reimbursement request that the Board approved, reviewed a courthouse roof damage estimate, discussed Fund 047 (Juvenile Rehab) and staffing updates, and joined the board for an annual Perfection Group utility audit.
County Administrator Erica L. Preston delivered a multi-topic operations report to the Auglaize County Board of Commissioners on April 2, 2026, touching on economic development, facility repairs, fund accounting and staffing.
Preston reported she attended the monthly meeting of the Wapakoneta Area Economic Development Council on April 1 and presented a reimbursement request from the council for conference registration fees; the Board approved that reimbursement request during the meeting. She also reviewed an estimate to repair wind damage to the Courthouse roof and provided the Board with an update on an accident involving a county-owned vehicle.
The Administrator presented colored county seal options created by the GIS Director for the Board’s consideration. Preston reported that Auglaize County Department of Job & Family Services (ACDJFS) will begin using a new payroll system; no implementation schedule was recorded in the minutes.
On fiscal oversight, the Board discussed usage of Fund 047 (Juvenile Rehab). President John N. Bergman asked for documentation and information pertaining to collection of funds in that account; Preston was directed to obtain the requested documentation. Preston also discussed the sewer project at the Group Home property and said she would follow up on details as requested.
The Board reviewed terms for independent contractors working within county offices, and Preston reported that an application has been received for the Intermittent Janitor/Housekeeper position while an IT candidate had not responded to the offer at the time of the meeting.
At 10:30 a.m., the Board, Administrator Preston, representatives from Perfection Group and Maintenance Supervisor Jeff Perry met for the annual utility audit to review county utility usage and potential efficiency measures.
The meeting record shows these items were presented for the Board’s information and follow-up; several clarifications (notably Fund 047 documentation and brownfield fill material questions) were requested for later reporting.
