The Medina County Board of Commissioners approved a slate of routine administrative resolutions covering public works, software procurement, personnel changes and finance items during its regular meeting.
Dan Becker, the county engineer (speaker 5), presented six engineering resolutions that the board approved. Those items authorized the county engineer to purchase a model‑year pickup truck; found the necessity to close Lake Road for culvert replacements; authorized the board to enter a consulting services contract for floodplain hydraulic and hydraulic modeling review for the Wolf Creek Greenway Trail project; declared certain equipment no longer needed and authorized its disposal or sale; found the necessity to close Nichols Road for maintenance; and accepted and awarded the rebid for the 2026 replacement of Bridge No. 1 on Ledgewood Drive in Medina Township. A commissioner moved to approve the six items and the board recorded affirmative votes.
Sanitary Engineer Jeremy Cinco (speaker 7) presented a resolution authorizing Change Order No. 1 for the Windfall water storage tank rehabilitation project; the board moved and approved the change order.
Barb Walton (speaker 8) requested and won approval to purchase ScaleHouse software for the Medina County Solid Waste District.
Human Resources Director Holly Murren (speaker 9) presented personnel actions the board approved: two new hires (one in transit, one in maintenance), one promotion, one leave of absence in transit and one resignation in sanitary services.
Finance Director Brett Thomas (speaker 10) presented six finance resolutions, all approved by the board. Those included revenue adjustments affecting various funds and monthly allowances for the County Home; a cash transfer of $322,001.33 for the County Homes levy fund for the quarter; authorization for the county auditor to transfer $920.53 related to the print shop revenue line item; the purchase of 6,600 gallons of regular gasoline for the engineering center (low bid RJ Wright and Sons at $2.61 per gallon); routine expense approvals for county officials (including one sheriff course expense for a canine evaluator); and the weekly bills totaling $7,473,033.60 (the meeting noted that the large figure reflected included sales-tax distributions).

Commissioners and staff exchanged brief acknowledgements and thanks after each vote. Several presenters noted operational impacts such as equipment disposal, road closures for culvert work, and the timing of bridge replacement; Greg Brown (speaker 11) later reported operational details for the County Home, including a census of 42 residents (expected to increase to 43 and 44 in coming weeks) and maintenance issues that staff are addressing.
What’s next: staff will proceed with the approved procurements, contract actions and project change order work. The board adjourned to an executive session later in the meeting to discuss a pending court action.
