The Lorain County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 30 approved appropriating $3,940,335.20 to the Commissioners’ Capital Improvement fund for payment toward a county wireless public-safety communications system.
The board also approved a separate $25,000 appropriation to the Probate Department for additional contract services. The action was adopted as Resolution No. 26-78 after a motion by Commissioner David J. Moore and a second from Commissioner Marty Gallagher; both commissioners voted aye and Commissioner Jeff Riddell was recorded as absent and excused.
Commissioners handled the appropriations during routine business alongside other budget actions and requisitions. The meeting record lists the appropriation line as 1000-Commissioners/Capital Improvement and ties the $3.94 million specifically to the county’s public-safety communication project, but does not provide a vendor or timeline in the recorded motion. The board did not discuss loan terms or financing details for this item on the floor during the session.
