Summary
At the June 1 meeting the board adopted Ordinance 2026‑07 (speed‑limit amendments), approved an emergency pump replacement authorization (not to exceed $40,000), accepted bridge 193, awarded a bridge contract to Batty Construction, approved a Comcast internet contract and a three‑year Dosset consulting engagement, and tabled the OpenGov expansion pending further study. Several resolutions and claims totals were also approved; some votes were 2–1.
Delaware County commissioners recorded several formal actions at their June 1 meeting. Major actions and roll‑call outcomes included:
- Ordinance 2026‑07 (second reading and adoption) — Approved by roll call (Commissioners Henry, Bran and Rian voted yes). The ordinance implements multiple speed‑limit amendments in Hamilton and Center townships that were the subject of a public hearing earlier in the meeting.
- OpenGov expansion — Motion to table passed unanimously (Henry, Bran, Rian yes). Staff will return with an itemized cost breakdown, departmental feedback and peer‑county examples before further consideration.
- Jail cooling‑tower pump replacement — Authorized immediate procurement and rebuild work not to exceed $40,000 (Henry, Bran, Rian yes).
- Bridge 193 (final acceptance) — Approved (Henry, Bran, Rian yes).
- Bridge 179 contract award to Batty Construction ($542,740) — Approved; the $77,740 overage was recommended to come from the cumulative bridge fund (Henry, Bran, Rian yes).
- Comcast internet contract for county sites (two‑year term) — Approved; staff reported estimated annual savings of about $9,900 (Henry, Bran, Rian yes).
- Dosset Consulting cost allocation plan (three‑year option) — Approved (three‑year not‑to‑exceed total of $33,000; approximately $11,000/year) (Henry, Bran, Rian yes).
- Resolution 2026‑101 (payroll/VIP controls) — Approved 2–1 (Henry yes, Bran no, Rian yes). Commissioners debated language about whether individuals must sign off on their own payroll and whether VIP can enforce two‑person approval workflows; staff said software and process changes will be needed in some offices.
- Payment of claims (corrected total $4,380,224.35) — Approved 2–1 (Henry yes, Bran no, Rian yes).
- ARP late claims ($31,392.92) and payroll ($1,922,969.36) — Approved (roll calls recorded with majority support).
