Knox County, Ohio Board of Commissioners November 12th, 2026 Regular Session

The Knox County Board of Commissioners’ November 12, 2026 regular session included monthly reports from County 911 and Litter and Recycling, followed by approval of several business items. Commissioners approved the 2027 Knox County Recycling implementation agreement funded by DKMM; the transcript gives its amount as “$81,52,” which appears incomplete. They also approved an amended 2026 Sheriff’s Office grant application not to exceed $175,387.48 and accepted a $17,985.65 award through the U.S. Department of Justice’s Project Safe Neighborhoods for the county violent crime initiative. Each item passed by voice vote. Commissioners also approved a Brightspeed utility permit for Sycamore Road in Milford Township and a resolution accepting amounts redetermined by the budget commission.

The recycling report described planned improvements to the Liberty Township site, including completed paving and a forthcoming fence, and a Centerburg arrangement involving county support for site improvements and a proposed 10-year, no-cost lease for recycling bins. The 911 report covered call volume, staffing, and completed installation of surge protectors at the 911 center, with no related purchasing decision reported. No other contract awards or procurement actions were identified.
