Board Session 8/25/2026

The Seneca County Commissioners held a board session on August 25, 2026, during which they conducted a bid opening for the Seneca County Justice Center audio-visual and control system upgrades project, receiving three bids from Sound Solutions, Fairchild Communications Systems Incorporated, and Medianet AV. The commissioners also reviewed and approved several supplemental appropriations related to general fund expenses, including road supplies, prisoner medical costs, and unemployment expenses. Additionally, multiple resolutions were passed to authorize contracts with vendors such as Eagle Shoop Funeral Home for transport services, Mercy Health Tiffin Hospital LLC for morgue licensing, and Pitney Bowes Incorporated for a postage machine lease. The board discussed the health insurance renewal for 2027, noting an 11.4% increase that was mitigated to a 6% increase for both employees and the county through the use of an insurance fund. Amendments to the health savings account employer contribution policy and the county's premium contribution and health insurance rates were also approved. Finally, the commissioners addressed ongoing legal and consulting arrangements related to the county's separation from the solid waste district to ensure clear financial accountability.
