Miami County commissioners approve county contracts, federal bus grant and support-enforcement agreements
Summary
The Miami County Board of Commissioners on March 26 approved multiple contracts and fiscal actions, including two IV-D support-enforcement contracts, acceptance of a $385,983 federal bus award to replace three transit vehicles, and authorization of routine fiscal items.
Wade H. Westfall, President of the Miami County Board of Commissioners, and Ted S. Mercer, Member, voted March 26 to approve a suite of county contracts and fiscal actions that the board said will support transit replacement and child-support administration.
The board authorized two IV-D contracts with the Miami County Child Support Enforcement Agency and the Miami County Juvenile Court. The first covers Clerk Services for support-enforcement administration, effective Feb. 1, 2026, through Jan. 31, 2027, with costs charged to Fund 103: non-federal reimbursement $79,450.67; federal reimbursement $154,227.80; total $233,678.47. The second IV-D contract covers Magistrate Services for the same period at a total cost of $39,345.09 (federal reimbursement $13,377.33; FFP $25,967.76). Both motions were moved by Ted S. Mercer and seconded by Wade H. Westfall; Gregory A. Simmons was recorded absent.
Also approved was Resolution No. 26-03-338, accepting a quote from American Bus & Accessories, Inc. and authorizing the purchase of three LTV-12-2 buses at a total cost not to exceed $385,983 ($128,661 per bus). The board noted the funding originates from the Federal 5339 Bus and Bus Facilities Formula Program (Project #077-BABF-260200) and that a March 19 resolution had accepted the federal award. The purchase was requested by Sarah Baker, Transit Director.
The meeting also included routine finance items approved by the board — authorization to sign bills for all funds, then-and-now certificates, transfers and additional appropriations — and several 'signatures only' items related to ongoing projects.
The board voted on the items by roll call, with Westfall and Mercer voting yea and Simmons recorded as absent for these matters. The meeting adjourned at 1:50 p.m.
