Morrow County commissioners approve consent agenda of bills, transfers and appointments

The Morrow County Board of Commissioners met May 11, 2026, and approved a slate of routine items including the May 6, 2026 minutes, payment of bills numbered 1–175, several fund transfers and multiple personnel appointments.

At the start of the meeting the clerk read the consent items and commissioners moved and seconded approval. The board recorded affirmative roll-call responses for the minutes and the bills. The clerk also read pay-in payments and lease payments for May from Chesterville, Johnson, Kellerman, MCAP (garage lease) and from Job and Family Services for a May lease payment.

Commissioners approved a transfer of funds for general fund legal services and a separate transfer for the engineer’s fund after a motion and second. The clerk recorded votes in favor by the commissioners on those measures.

The board approved an appointment to the county regional planning commission and reappointments to the County Beautiful Board for terms from 05/13/2026 to 05/13/2029. The clerk recorded motions and affirmative votes on those personnel actions.

The commission also authorized a fuel agreement between county area transit and Central Ohio Farmers Coop and authorized Vice Chairman Commissioner John Mason to sign the agreement. The board recorded a motion, a second and affirmative votes.

Finally, the clerk read an authorization that would permit Commissioner John Mason to sign documents needed to complete a transaction with Grama LLC. The county explained in the discussion that a small parcel adjacent to the News Color Press required a survey and an access agreement to clean up title and make the land more usable; staff said the county had not charged the private owner for prior grooming and that costs on the county side were limited to a survey and filings.

The meeting’s consent measures passed by recorded assent of the commissioners; no substantive debate or changes to the measures were recorded.
