Morrow County commissioners approve routine payments, accept resignation and set annexation hearing

Morrow County commissioners on April 3 approved a package of routine payments and procedural measures, accepted the resignation of a county employee and set a hearing on a proposed annexation.

The board moved and carried approval of claims and payments described on the agenda, and approved an appropriation for facility work including a quote for doors in the North Port Room. The clerk conducted roll-call votes for each motion. Commissioners also approved payment batch 1–15 and voted to pay a Columbia Gas late fee of $7.84.

The commissioners voted to accept the resignation of John Harsh as MA director. The clerk recorded the motion and commissioners carried the acceptance by roll call.

Commissioners approved a two-year participation agreement with the Greater Ohio Workforce Board; the record shows Commissioner John Mason was authorized to sign the agreement on behalf of the board. A resolution recognizing April 2024 as National County Government Month was also adopted.

The board set a public hearing on annexation for two parcels (listed in the record as 10.256 acres and 2.226 acres) for June 10 at 10 a.m. at the county offices. The clerk announced the date and the commissioners approved the scheduling motion.

The meeting included updates from staff on county projects and services, including a workforce alliance survey and progress on reconstruction at a county facility. Commissioners noted there would be no session Monday because of the eclipse and that the next regular meeting will be held the following week.

The meeting adjourned after the board completed the scheduled business. The clerk’s roll-call recorded each motion as carried; the transcript shows routine approvals rather than extended debate on the listed items.
