The Huron County Board of Commissioners took several administrative and contract actions Dec. 9, approving fund transfers and appropriations, authorizing a one-year mass-notification contract and issuing a written termination notice for the county's wireless emergency notification vendor.
Among the votes, the board approved transfers totaling $1,933,121 from the Transfer Out account #099: $50,000 to Airport Other Expenses as the local match for an FAA grant, $1,500,000 to the Permanent Improvement Fund #310 for capital projects, and $383,121 to the Jail Permanent Improvement Fund #315 using unspent 2024 jail sales-tax revenue. The Auditor's office will post the journal entries.
The board also appropriated $469,451.48 to Contract Services in the Huron County 9-1-1 & Countywide Communications Fund #193 after the county received an amended Certificate of Estimated Resources. The Engineer's Auto Tax Fund #125 was appropriated $40,000 for materials; County Engineer Lee Tansey said the funds are to purchase additional road salt.
On contracts, the commissioners approved a Master Service Agreement with Dais, Inc., d/b/a Regroup, for mass notification services at a one-year cost of $13,600 with an option to renew. The board also authorized the signing of a Written Notice of Termination to Inspiron Logistics, LLC, concerning the county's Wireless Emergency Notification System (the contract's current renewal date is Feb. 1, 2026). Commissioners approved authorization for Commissioner Tom Dunlap to sign the Certificate of Cost Allocation Plan.
Commissioner Harry Brady reported on the NCAT transportation board meeting, said he resigned from NCAT and described abstaining from a related vote for ethics reasons; Assistant Prosecutor Randal Strickler advised that Brady's abstention was appropriate under Ohio ethics rules. The board entered executive session under ORC 121.22(G)(2) and (G)(3) to discuss property purchase/sale and pending or imminent litigation; they ended the session later the same morning and took no public action.
All motions recorded in the minutes were adopted by unanimous roll-call votes unless otherwise noted.
