Morrow County commissioners approve transfers, a gas purchasing amendment and set May hearing on alley vacation
Morrow County commissioners on April 10 approved a package of routine fiscal actions and contracts, and scheduled a public hearing on a petition to vacate an alley in West Point.

Clerk (speaker 1) read a series of agenda items including an appropriation of unappropriated certified monies for the general fund and related transfers to cover IT renewal invoices charged to fund 4777. The board discussed that the fund lacked cash for some three‑year IT renewals; the chair (speaker 2) asked, "So this 20,000 will take us for 3 years?" and was told the payment was a one‑time amount. The appropriation and transfer were approved on roll call.

The board also approved a change order for a capital project at 3801 East after noting a small threshold charge on an invoice and approved an appropriation for the airport capital improvement fund. Separately, commissioners approved aborting a bid for Township Road 224 and awarding work relating to a culvert on Drive 165. The county journalized the Monroe County treasurer's report as of April 29, 2024.

Clerk (speaker 1) presented "amendment number 1 to exhibit A" for a natural gas purchasing program among the CCAO Service Corporation, County of Morrow and CCAOFT Energy Solutions (a Palmer Energy subsidiary), and asked the board to authorize the chairman to sign. Commissioners moved to approve the amendment and asked whether any townships participate in the plan; staff said participation questions would be addressed outside the vote. The motion to approve the amendment carried on roll call.

The board also voted to resend two previously recorded resolutions (24a093 and 24r249) concerning an appropriation and a purchase for doors in the north courtroom after discovering an invoice had been duplicated in paperwork; the resend was approved to correct the record.

On land‑use procedure, the commissioners set a site viewing for a petition to vacate Alley Street in West Point for May 6 at 11:00 a.m. and scheduled a hearing for May 22 at 9:30 a.m. in the hearing room.

Several routine transfers for engineering and other funds were approved. The session recessed and later reconvened before adjourning. No formal resolution was adopted at the meeting for a proposed appointment discussed informally.

The meeting record shows motions were seconded and approved by roll call; roll‑call responses recorded in the transcript included the commissioners who answered "yes."
