Medina County commissioners approve series of routine resolutions, reject two construction bids
Summary
At a regular meeting, Medina County commissioners approved departmental resolutions covering engineering, sanitary services, human resources, finance and administration, and authorized rebidding two road projects after rejecting all bids. The board also adopted NIMS for grant compliance and appointed a new member to the county revolving loan fund committee.
Medina County commissioners met in a regular session to take up a slate of routine departmental resolutions and administrative actions, approving measures ranging from contract amendments to personnel changes while rejecting bids on two road projects and authorizing their rebid.
The board voted to reject all bids for the Township 398 Ledgewood Road bridge replacement and the Greenwich Road guardrail replacement and authorized staff to rebid both projects, County Engineer Andy Conrad said. Commissioners recorded affirmative roll-call votes.
Sanitary Engineer Ben Roma presented and the board approved three related measures: an amendment to a professional design-services agreement with Jones and Henry Engineers for the Chipua and Lake Road water-main replacement project, the award of a designer-services contract for the 2025 home sewage system replacement project, and change order No. 1 for the Balin Branch water-main improvement project.
Human Resources Director Holly Mirren brought three personnel-related resolutions: a set of classification and rate changes across several departments, two leave-of-absence requests, and a revised compensation policy. The board approved the personnel actions and the amendments to the table of organization for Senior and Adult Services.
Finance Director Brett Thomas presented expenditure and revenue adjustments tied in part to state and federal grant programs and submitted the weekly bills for approval; commissioners approved the three finance items. (The transcript lists a weekly-bills figure as '1,616,35540' as spoken at the meeting; the county’s published bill list should be consulted for the precise amount.)
County Administrator Matt Springer presented three administrative resolutions authorizing the sheriff’s office to purchase an inmate-transport vehicle using a jail-donation fund and declaring a boat/motor/trailer and two aging sanitation vehicles as excess property to be sold at public auction; commissioners approved those measures.
Emergency Management finalized a resolution continuing adoption of the National Incident Management System (NIMS), language updated to reflect Ohio Revised Code requirements and federal grant conditions. The EMA presentation also detailed upcoming training, a planned migration to the Regroup mass-notification system, and recent hazmat incidents; commissioners approved the NIMS resolution.
The board approved the appointment of Katie Masternik to the Medina County Revolving Loan Fund Committee.
The meeting recessed for executive session after the public portion concluded; commissioners said the executive session would address collective bargaining strategy. The public meeting record shows routine approval votes on the listed items; where transcript numbers are unclear (for example, the weekly bills figure), the county’s official published records should be referenced for exact dollar amounts.
