Clermont County commissioners approve routine minutes, audit engagements, contracts and infrastructure agreements
Summary
The board unanimously approved meeting minutes, vendor payments, audit engagement amendments, a janitorial contract termination, multiple road and bridge agreements, cooperative purchases, easement acceptances and budget adjustments; roll calls were recorded for each vote.
The Clermont County Board of Commissioners moved through consent and non‑consent business on June 3, approving a series of routine and substantive items by roll call.
Key approvals included: the regular session minutes; vendor payments outlined in Resolution 069‑26 (vendor payments totaling about $3.41 million per the invoice report and citing ORC §319.16); execution of an engagement letter with Julian Group, Inc. for the county’s annual audit and an amendment to that engagement (items 12–13); and a motion to terminate the county’s janitorial contract with GSFUSA, effective June 3, 2026, to transition cleaning of judges’ chambers and court facilities to in‑house staff.
Infrastructure and procurement approvals included amendments to township and village resurfacing agreements (project RS‑01‑26), a master services agreement for two snow‑plow truck installations with Henderson Products (purchase amounts $140,925.85 and $148,116.70 contingent on POs), a tax‑unit agreement with Batavia Township contributing $25,000 toward the Elmwood Road bridge replacement (bridge T120‑0.98), a cooperative purchase with National Gunite for the Lake Allen Road culvert pipe rehabilitation (ODOT contract pricing), acceptance of permanent easements needed for the Bethl Concord Road bridge replacement (C11‑2.77), and the board’s adoption of revised general plans for county waterworks and wastewater (Res. 070‑26 and Res. 071‑26) to authorize design and grant pre‑applications.
Budget and administrative items included a supplemental appropriation to reallocate underspent ARPA funds into a new water/sewer ARPA project and approval to withdraw a petition for annexation (refund of filing fee and cancellation of a public hearing). Commissioners also voted to add and approve a notice of intent to sue under RCRA related to a coal‑ash site near New Richmond.
All motions recorded unanimous roll‑call approvals unless otherwise noted in the minutes. Where specific bid or award numbers were read into the record (for example, the Bethl lift station bid of $7,488,750 and other bid amounts cited in the utilities presentation), those figures were included in staff reports to the board.
