Williams County commissioners approve routine business, transfer small parcel to adjacent owner
Summary
The board approved minutes, agenda, payment of bills, supplemental appropriations, amended MOU for child placements, and authorized advertising sealed bids for the 2026 asphalt paving program. Commissioners also approved a motion to quit-claim a small triangular parcel to the adjacent Patton family after noting a utility tower and awkward corner.
Williams County commissioners met in regular session on April 30 and approved a series of routine resolutions as recorded in the official minutes.
The board adopted Resolution 26-0220 approving minutes from the April 28 meeting; Resolution 26-0221 approving the day’s agenda as presented; Resolution 26-0222 authorizing payment of bills after the auditor certified funds; and Resolution 26-0223 to process supplemental appropriations for Common Pleas Court and the county engineer’s office (line items and amounts were recorded in the formal resolution text). Commissioners also approved an amended Memorandum of Understanding between Job & Family Services and the Williams County Board of Developmental Disabilities to share child-placement costs at Ohio Teaching Family Association at an increased per-diem rate (Resolution 26-0224).
The board approved advertising for sealed bids for Project #03-2026 (2026 Asphalt Paving Program) and directed staff to publish the bid notice and make bidding documents available as required by law (Resolution 26-0225). The legal notice attached to the record specifies bid opening at 9:30 a.m. May 21, 2026; ODOT prequalification and prevailing-wage compliance are required; and a 100% performance bond will be required of the successful bidder.
On a separate motion (moved by Vice President Bartley E. Westfall and seconded by President Scotherol A. Lirot), the board approved transferring a small triangular county-owned parcel near West Unity to the adjoining Patton family by quit-claim deed to avoid creating an awkward remnant adjacent to the Rails-to-Trails corridor; county staff (Vickie) will coordinate deed preparation with county counsel. The board recessed, later entered executive session under Ohio Revised Code 121.22(G)(5) with insurance representatives, and returned with no action taken. The meeting then adjourned.
Votes on recorded resolutions were by roll call and are reflected in the official resolutions filed with the minutes.
