Trumbull County Commissioners-Regular Meeting 11-12-2026

At the November 12, 2026 regular meeting, the Trumbull County Commissioners approved several procurement and infrastructure items. They approved an ODOT agreement modification with Environmental Design Group LLC for $225,577 in additional construction-administration and inspection services for the South Main Avenue Bridge project, bringing the contract total to $397,761. They also approved a $25,666.30 change order for the Central Triangle Infrastructure Improvement Project, increasing that contract to $693,669.53; a Metobrook sanitary sewer change order of up to $16,976, with a revised contract value of $3,251,496, funded through the Ohio EPA Water Pollution Control Loan Fund; and a no-cost final-quantity adjustment for the Smith Stewart Road sewer project. A coroner’s office renovation change order of $4,561.81 was approved with no additional funds requested. The board also approved Sage Integration Company’s proposal for a key-fob entry system, though no price was stated, and rejected prior proposals for leasing dispatch-center space, directing the clerk to readvertise the RFP. A sheriff’s service agreement with Braceville Township was approved for $13,432.85 for the period November 2026 through April 2027.

The commissioners established two health-district grant funds: $190,000 for the One Ohio Recovery Foundation Transportation Grant and $100,000 from the Ohio Department of Health for adolescent health resiliency, including supplies, training, and administrative reimbursement. They also approved a snow-and-ice-package truck purchase to be locally leased through Huntington Bank for seven years at 5.12% interest; the transcript’s stated purchase figure is garbled but appears to be approximately $864,952. The county engineer reported that three county projects received OPWC funding and discussed $12.5 million in grants supporting $16.5 million in road and bridge work, which would require $4.2 million in local match; commissioners took no action on the requested local match. A proposed extension of the Educational Highway closure for Mercy Health work was voted down. Routine bills, appropriations, and transfers were approved.
