The Board of Henry County Commissioners approved a series of unanimous resolutions during a regular meeting in October 2025, including budget adjustments, a property purchase authorization for 805 S. Perry Street and authorization to seek an Ohio Department of Transportation grant.
Commissioner Joel Miller moved to approve budget adjustments (Resolution A); Commissioner G. Jeff Brubaker seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. Commissioners then approved a Then-and-Now authorization (Resolution B) on a motion by Brubaker, seconded by Joel Miller; that motion also passed unanimously. The transcript does not specify vendors or dollar amounts for the Then-and-Now item.
The board next authorized the President of the Board to sign a purchase agreement and related documents for 805 S. Perry Street (Resolution C). Commissioner Joel Miller moved the measure and Commissioner Brubaker seconded; the motion passed 3–0. The transcript does not record the purchase price, vendor, or other contract terms.
The board granted authority for Stephanie Honeck to apply for an Ohio Department of Transportation grant (Resolution D). Commissioner Joel Miller moved the authorization and Commissioner Brubaker seconded; the motion passed unanimously. The transcript does not specify which ODOT program, the grant amount, or application deadline.
Commissioner Brubaker moved and Commissioner Joel Miller seconded Resolution E, which approved the county's bank depositories for 2026–2029; the motion passed unanimously. Earlier in the meeting the board also discussed designation of a bank depository through 2029 (agenda item noted at about 9:15 a.m.), though the transcript does not list the selected institutions.

Each executive-session motion passed on recorded unanimous votes; the minutes state that no action was taken as a result of either executive session.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:54 a.m. Kristi Schultheis attested to the minutes as Clerk.
