Auglaize County commissioners approve resolutions, authorize asbestos survey and review administrative updates
Summary
On Feb. 10, 2026, the Auglaize County Board of Commissioners voted to approve a package of resolutions including a grant agreement and a service contract, authorized an asbestos survey at 120 W. Main St., Cridersville, denied a request to use a county parking lot for a food truck, and received a monthly JFS update.
President John Bergman called the meeting of the Auglaize County Board of Commissioners to order at 8:00 a.m. on Feb. 10, 2026. Commissioner David Bambauer moved to approve the resolutions as presented; Commissioner Douglas A. Spencer seconded. The resolutions were distributed for each commissioner's vote and execution and were recorded as approved.
The package of resolutions included three items listed in the Board's Journal: Resolution #26-060, authorizing payment of the county's mandated share of public assistance for February; Resolution #26-061, authorizing the County Administrator to execute the Ohio Department of Development (ODOD) Building Demolition and Site Revitalization Program grant agreement (DEV--2025--222680); and Resolution #26-057, approving a service agreement between Employee Network, Inc. (ENI) and Auglaize County. Clerk Bobbi Donovan read the full list of resolutions and the minutes of the Feb. 5, 2026 meeting, which the Board approved.
County Administrator Erica L. Preston briefed the Board on administrative matters. She reported a public records request received by the County Recorder's office, a report of a dangerous dog, and contact from State Representative Angie King seeking capital budget information and the submission deadline. Preston said the county has a pending Brownfield grant application in St. Marys and noted the county must find a replacement for its Cost Allocation Company following the retirement of Mike Maguire. The Board asked Preston to confirm the availability of a potential appointee to the Mental Health & Recovery Services Board.
Preston also told commissioners about an inquiry regarding county support for a FLEX grant and a request to use a county parking lot for a food truck during business hours. The Board determined the parking-lot request could not be granted. The Board discussed opening an insurance claim for repairs related to a broken sprinkler head and other possible building repairs and authorized the County Administrator to sign the quote for an asbestos survey at 120 W. Main St., Cridersville.
At 9:30 a.m., the Board met with Julie Gossard, director of Job & Family Services, for her monthly update. At 11:00 a.m., commissioners participated in a joint telephone meeting with Mercer and Van Wert counties about the Sites–Sawmiller–County Line Road tile project. With no further business, President Bergman adjourned the meeting at 12:00 p.m.
The Board's Journal contains the full texts of the resolutions referenced above.
