Clermont County commissioners approve vendor payments, contracts and grants by unanimous roll calls
Summary
On May 13 the Clermont County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 060-26 (vendor payments), several procurement contracts, a polymer supply contract for the water department, EMPG and SAFE Unit grant actions, and a supplemental probation appropriation; all recorded roll‑call votes were affirmative.
The Clermont County Board of Commissioners approved a slate of non‑consent items and one major vendor‑payment resolution during its May 13 meeting, recording unanimous roll‑call votes.
Key approvals included Resolution 060‑26 to pay vendors a total of $6,748,297.39 as listed in the board’s invoice report; a purchase agreement with Diamond Manufacturing (Kansas City) for fareboxes for Clermont Transportation Connection for an amount not to exceed $38,337; an engineering agreement with Garmin Miller & Associates for specifications for a generator at the Grant Tower site for $24,330; and a cooperative purchase agreement with Strawser Construction for the county’s 2026 crack‑seal program (project amount read in the transcript as "$154,8416," which appears to be a transcription formatting error and could not be independently confirmed from the meeting record).
The board also approved a five‑year site lease with the Milford Amateur Radio Club to install radio equipment on two elevated county water tanks with no monthly lease fee (the club will cover installation and insurance and the county will supply minimal electric power). The County Water Resources Department was authorized to contract with Polyine, Inc. for polymer used in sludge thickening for an estimated annual amount of $26,150; staff said selecting the tested polymer could save the county more than $100,000 per year by reducing hauled water volumes.
In grants and budget actions, the board acknowledged an FY25 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) award for $85,766 with a required local $85,766 match (total program budget $171,532) for the Clermont County Emergency Management Agency; it also authorized electronic submission of a state violent‑crime reduction subgrant application for the Sheriff’s SAFE Unit for an amount read in the transcript as "$87,6942" (formatting unclear). A supplemental appropriation of $44,397.50 into probation services other expense was approved.
All motions were moved, seconded and approved by roll call with each commissioner recorded as voting "yes." Several actions were noted as contingent upon release of the required purchase order or formal contract execution.
The board did not debate these items at length during the meeting and took no amendments; staff will proceed with contract finalization and purchase‑order issuance as appropriate.
