The Clark County Board of Commissioners met Dec. 3, 2025, in Springfield and approved a slate of resolutions authorizing contracts, budget transfers and a $4,000,000 grant for a public safety building.

The board unanimously authorized a contract with ROK Technologies for cloud data storage and GIS services ($86,916 for 2026), approved a municipal court building agreement with the City of Springfield (effective Jan. 1, 2025–Aug. 30, 2040), and approved Change Order #1 with FDC Enterprises to reconcile final herbicidal spraying quantities (increase of $22,244.50 to a new total of $181,544.50). Commissioners also approved a Motorola Solutions maintenance contract for 9-1-1 software ($59,756.43 for 2026), the purchase of two Sheriff’s Office vehicles (not to exceed $37,834), and disposal of obsolete radio/repeater equipment under §307.12(I) of the Ohio Revised Code.

The board accepted a $4,000,000 grant from the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction for land acquisition and design work on the county’s public safety building, authorized intra- and inter-fund transfers to meet court and utility payment obligations, and approved issuance of then-and-now warrants to settle previously invoiced purchases. The commissioners also acknowledged receipt of an expedited Type 2 annexation petition for approximately 4.6223 acres in Moorefield Township and directed staff to forward the petition to county departments for review.

Each resolution was moved, seconded and recorded with a unanimous roll call vote of Commissioners Melanie F. Wilt, Charles A. Patterson and Sasha L. Rittenhouse. The County Administrator was authorized to execute related contracts, change orders and grant documents as appropriate.

The board concluded its session after approving the agenda and prior meeting minutes and recording the day's votes.
