Board reviews grants and approves vehicle, computer purchases and two job postings
Summary
Administrator Nathan Rosi updated the board on three grant projects (housing rehab, park accessibility and land bank demos) and the board approved procurement and personnel items including vehicle purchases for Emergency Management and the Sheriff's Office, seven workstations for the prosecutor's office, and authorizations to post two county positions.
Administrator Nathan Rosi briefed the board on three grants moving toward implementation, then the board approved several finance and personnel items.
Rosi said the county's housing rehab grant was "over $400,000" and that the project total was $500,000 including administrative fees; the county contracted with HDC/HTC to administer the work, and staff are completing criteria and evaluation steps before dispersing any grant dollars. He also reported that the MEC-funded park accessibility project has completed studies and could start in spring, and that a land bank grant will fund demolition of two properties in Sanduski, a project in Lexington, and a rehab in Brown City; deadlines tied to the RFP process were noted.
On finance items the board approved by voice vote: payment of current claims (accounts payable report listing $35,840 for general bank accounts); authorization to purchase a 2017 Ford Explorer from the sheriff's office for Emergency Management at $10,000; authorization for the Sheriff's Office to purchase a 2025 Ford Explorer police interceptor not to exceed $53,900 (funded from the commissary fund); and an award to purchase seven Dell computers and monitors plus office licenses for the prosecutor's office (line items in the record listed unit costs and a total not to exceed amount). The board also authorized posting and filling a maintenance supervisor position, an office manager post in the prosecutor's office, and a tax foreclosure position in the treasurer's office.
When the board approved the prosecutor-office computer purchases, Finance Chair Bill Sarella said the purchase was to meet hardware requirements for a state-mandated prosecution case-management software migration. The personnel postings were handled as green-sheet add-ons and were forwarded and approved by the full board.
What happens next: staff will proceed with procurement and follow grant RFP timelines; the land bank and demo projects await final documentation from partner agencies before work begins.
