Commissioners unanimously approved supplemental appropriations for several county funds, including $445,000 for Children Services assistance, and established a fund for a two-year SAMHSA Rural EMS training grant, with funding to arrive in 2026 and 2027. They also approved the appointment of special counsel for the Prosecutor’s Office.

Procurement and project actions included approval of a new three-year sewer-district billing and administrative services agreement between the Auditor and Commissioners, retaining the existing 8% fee; authorization to set a sealed-bid process for the City of Fostoria municipal building ADA restrooms project; and authorization to solicit qualifications for architectural, engineering, and planning services for the Seneca County Airport. The selected consultant will advise on airport matters for five years, with qualifications due November 24.
