Commissioners Session May 8, 2025

The Delaware County, Ohio Commissioners Session held on May 8, 2025, included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The board approved purchase orders and payments, and addressed resolutions related to liquor licenses and annexation petitions. A significant portion of the meeting focused on recognizing Older Americans Month and a detailed presentation by Source Point, a local nonprofit providing in-home care, meals on wheels, and transportation services to older adults. Source Point highlighted its funding sources, including federal grants, and discussed challenges related to sustaining meal programs amid uncertain federal funding. The commissioners also approved a three-year participation agreement with the County Risk Sharing Authority (CORSA) to manage self-insured risk pooling, which helps control county costs. Additionally, the board authorized submitting an application for the Ohio Attorney General's opioid recognition grant to support medication-assisted treatment in the county jail, aiming to reduce overdose fatalities and recidivism. The meeting concluded with resolutions addressing ongoing litigation involving the county treasurer and investment policies, including rescinding prior resolutions as part of a court order. No new contracts or vendor selections were announced, but several grant applications and funding approvals were discussed that could impact future procurement activities.
