Geauga County Board of Commissioners Session — August 11, 2026

The Geauga County Board of Commissioners held a session on August 11, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed and approved. Key procurement actions included the approval of a purchase order to Lake Jaga Recovery Centers using opioid settlement funds for a recovery house, renewal payment of $22,973.70 to CDW Government for Crowd Strike endpoint protection services, and a $470,744 pay request to Infiniti Construction Company for a generator project. The board also authorized advertising for bids for the Chardan Township Park walking path project, with a bid opening scheduled for August 26, 2026, and discussed upcoming bids for the Burton Library project. Additionally, the board approved a contract payment of $39,987.84 to HDR Engineering for wastewater treatment plant improvements and authorized an easement agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation involving a $3,150 compensation for maintenance funding. A proposed $49,000 engineering project to expand the county parking lot was debated but ultimately not approved due to questions about necessity and cost. The meeting also covered budget discussions related to employee pay increases and scheduling of a special budget meeting. Public safety concerns regarding pedestrian safety at the county fair were raised but no procurement actions resulted from that discussion.
