The board moved to approve the previous meeting minutes (board meeting number 15) and pay outstanding bills; the motion was seconded and passed by roll call.
The county engineer presented change order number 9 from Richie and Gaffney for the Western Reserve Road widening project in the amount of $112,370.04, drawing from non-general funds; the board approved the change orders following a motion and second.
In clerk reports and resolutions, the board recorded a resolution authorizing SSE LLC to provide professional accounting services to the office in the amount listed in the transcript as 25,000. The board also approved a package of sponsorship grants: $7,500 to the American Junior Golf Association for the 2026 Junior All Star Tournament at Mill Creek Golf Course; $500 to the Akron Optimist Youth Foundation; $2,500 to the Northern Ohio Professional Golfers Association for a junior championship at Mill Creek; and $500 to the Youngstown Marathon Foundation for the Soul to City half marathon on May 31, which runs from Second Soul in Boardman to Penguin City Brewing Company in Youngstown.
Board motions to approve journal entries 1–3 and to approve resolutions labeled A through G were made, seconded and taken up by roll call; the motions passed as recorded in the transcript. Specific roll-call tallies were recorded as affirmative in the meeting record, but the transcript provides only partial name-by-name vocal affirmations rather than a printed full vote tally.
The board also discussed an agreement with Smithtown to provide a tire collection service for residents in the county’s southwest area; that agreement was on the agenda and moved through the approval process as part of the GRAMA items.
The meeting included several acknowledgements of local volunteers and a public comment urging continued recycling education. The record does not show additional contingencies or conditions attached to the motions as read into the minutes.
