BOC Meeting 11/05/2026

The Portage County, Ohio Board of Commissioners meeting on November 5, 2026 included routine approvals for bills, budget amendments, and transfers among county funds. The board also authorized the public auction of a 2012 Peterbilt truck from the Water Resources Department and approved preparation of plans, specifications, and a cost estimate for project SU-226-080, the Rivermore wastewater treatment plant tertiary-filter improvements in Suffield Township. An ADA counter/office modification was discussed, including the cost of relocating and replacing the existing bulletproof-glass counter; staff will check the cost of an alternative, and no approval was recorded. An EMA transfer had been delivered and was scheduled for installation.

The board discussed a second supplement to the Maple Crest tax-increment financing cooperative agreement to document approximately $863,000 in developer equity and its potential reimbursement after bond repayment. The presenters said the supplement would not change the project’s economics; the transcript does not capture a vote on it. The board also approved establishing a cash fund of $40 for specified minor transactions and considered county service agreements and an amendment involving Job and Family Services. A resolution included a reference to $20,000 in outstanding obligations, not to exceed $632,000, but the transcript does not clearly identify the associated agreement or expenditure.
