Huron County commissioners approve $16,600 for public defender shelving, streamline disposal of obsolete property
Summary
At its April 16 meeting the Huron County Board of Commissioners approved a $16,600 purchase of shelving for the public defender and adopted a resolution to dispose of obsolete Recorder’s Office property; administrators were authorized to submit quarterly disposal lists for board sign-off to reduce delays.
The Huron County Board of Commissioners on April 16 approved a $16,600 expenditure for shelving units for the county public defender and adopted a resolution authorizing disposal of obsolete county property.
Commissioner James R. Morgan moved to adopt the expenditure resolution for Capital Improvements #021 (Professional Business Systems) to purchase shelving units for the Public Defender; Commissioner Harry Brady seconded and the board voted unanimously to approve the measure.
The board then considered a separate resolution directing disposal of obsolete items from the Recorder’s Office pursuant to Ohio Revised Code §307.12(I). Administrator/Clerk Vickie Ziemba told commissioners that as offices clean out older equipment they expect additional items for disposal. She described the county’s current practice—offices hold items until the board approves a disposal resolution, then maintenance picks them up—and said offices are responsible for determining whether items have sale value (to be offered on GovDeals) or should be scrapped.
To reduce the number of separate disposal resolutions and associated delays, Ziemba asked the board to allow her to accept submitted lists and sign off on them for quarterly presentation or after project completion; the board indicated agreement with that approach.
During public comment, resident Michael Bick asked the board to transfer a portion of his personal property along with county land at the South Norwalk Road Land Lab. Assistant Prosecutor Randal Strickler said the county is working with the Huron County Growth Partnership on that transfer.
The board voted to enter an executive session under Ohio Revised Code 121.22(G)(1) at 9:18 a.m. and reconvened at 10:03 a.m. The minutes state no action was taken during the executive session. The meeting adjourned at 10:04 a.m.
