Medina County approves 16 finance resolutions, creates multiple grant funds and authorizes $5.58 million in weekly bills
Summary
The Board approved 16 finance resolutions including creation of grant funds for drug task force and family-first initiatives, the purchase of 6,500 gallons of gasoline at $2.79/gal, and weekly bills totaling $5,583,857.48.
The Medina County Board of Commissioners approved 16 finance-related resolutions covering appropriation adjustments, grant‑fund creation, and routine expenditures during its regular meeting.
Finance Director Brett Thomas presented the slate of resolutions that the board approved by roll call. Key items included creation of a drug task force fiscal year 2026–27 fund with appropriations totaling $816,520.56 (funding sources noted as MCDAC in the presentation), an Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services (OCJS) drug enforcement fund appropriation of $90,000, and creation of multiple Family First Council grant funds (including a $50,000 family‑centered services fund and a $556,490 early‑intervention grant fund). The board also authorized a felony delinquent care grant fund appropriation of $1,267,371.40 and a land‑use planning grant of $50,000 with a $5,000 local match from the Ohio Department of Agriculture.
The sheriff’s office evidence storage security enhancement OCJS grant fund was listed at $3,959.49; a drug task force recovery grant appeared at $44,999.75. Other approved finance items included authorization to purchase 6,500 gallons of unleaded gasoline at the low bid of $2.79 per gallon for the engineering center and regular expense approvals for county officials. Brett Thomas told the board the weekly bills for this period totaled $5,583,857.48, a sum largely driven by semiannual Ohio Water Development Authority (OWDA) bill payments.
All finance resolutions were moved, seconded and approved by roll call. The resolutions will be implemented through the county’s fiscal administration; individual grant agreements and vendor contracts will follow standard procurement and grant‑acceptance processes.
Next procedural steps: county staff will execute grant acceptance documents, process purchase orders against approved appropriations, and report disbursements through routine finance reporting channels.
