Commissioners approve minutes, agenda and a slate of resolutions including $500,000 CDBG grant and opioid-settlement opt-in

Williams County Commissioners opened the meeting, completed roll call and approved a series of routine resolutions, including minutes, the agenda, payment of bills and multiple grant and settlement agreements.

The board approved Resolution 142 to adopt prior meeting minutes, and Resolution 143 to approve the meeting agenda as presented. Resolution 144, to approve payment of bills, also passed by roll call.

Staff member (S5) told the board that Resolution 146 is a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) critical infrastructure agreement for program year 2025. "This one is between the State of Ohio Department of Development and Williams County Commissioners implementing the community development block grant program," S5 said, and noted "the grant funds of 500,000" are earmarked for Bryan City sewer improvements. The resolution was moved, seconded and carried on roll call.

On Resolution 147, the board voted to opt into a new opioid settlement based on a recommendation from a staff member identified as Katie. According to S5, "based on Katie's recommendation, we hereby vote yes and agree to opt in [to the] new opioid settlement as presented and allow our clerk and [runner] to sign documents on your behalf." The motion passed on roll call.

The board also approved Resolution 148, a subgrant agreement on behalf of the Department of Job and Family Services for program years 2026 and 2027 to provide comprehensive, business-driven workforce development services at no cost to the county because of a federal award; the term was stated as July 1 through June 30. That motion carried.

Other routine items recorded by staff included six pay requests for Maumee Valley and a permit to work within county right-of-way on behalf of Charter. No votes failed or were tabled during the session.

The meeting adjourned after commissioners handled the recorded actions and routine business.
