Board of Athens County Commissioners · April 14, 2026

Summary

The board appointed Clayton Newman to the Buckeye Hills Regional Council, accepted Local Emergency Planning Committee membership changes, approved CORSA employee‑dishonesty coverage for elected officials, and approved OneOhio funding for a sheriff's position and vehicle while declining a furniture request.

At the April 14 meeting the board appointed Clayton Newman to the Buckeye Hills Regional Council and approved changes to the Local Emergency Planning Committee roster submitted by Melissa Blank.

Commissioners approved using County Risk Sharing Authority, Inc. (CORSA) employee dishonesty coverage in lieu of surety bonds for elected officials under the county's CORSA participation agreement. The board reviewed OneOhio funding proposals and authorized funding for the Sheriff's request for a position and vehicle but declined a separate furniture request as outside guidelines; the board directed staff to prepare a press release once final funding decisions are completed.

Each of these items passed by motion from Commissioner Charlie Adkins with a second from Commissioner Chris Chmiel and unanimous roll calls.
