The Medina County Board of Commissioners approved a group of routine resolutions during its regular meeting, passed a five‑year lease extension for a U.S. Department of Agriculture office, and presented a commendation for long‑time foster parent Jan Radke.
The board honored Jan Radke with a resolution noting her 47 years of service as a foster parent in Medina County. The resolution praised Radke’s long‑term commitment and recognized her continued work after the passing of her husband; commissioners and staff then gathered for a photo as the commendation was accepted on her behalf.
Finance Director Brett Thomas told the board he brought eight finance‑related resolutions, including a payroll correction, a cash transfer to reimburse the general fund for the 2024 county audit, and acceptance of a state grant for sheriff’s body‑worn cameras. “This is a grant in the amount of $58,312.06,” Thomas said during his report. He also presented weekly bills totaling $1,283,042.52.
