They also accepted the July 2026 trial balance of $32,214,377.43 and August 2026 trial balance of $31,055,233.30. The procurement department reported no bid openings or contract awards.

The director reported that Norwood had more than $1.6 million in unspent funds across four grants at the end of June, with about $600,000 cleared and another large grant pending a final report. The county plans to seek the return of any remaining funds and bring the total back to the commissioners for consideration, with the goal of accounting for ARPA resources by December. Staff are also preparing an RSVP grant application. Work at the Dedham District Court parking lot is expected to require a closure beginning October 19, with the end date corrected during the meeting to November 25; no project cost or procurement action was stated.
