Knox County, Ohio Board of Commissioners August 25th, 2026 Regular Session

The Knox County Commissioners held a regular session on August 25, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related items were discussed. The county approved an agreement with DLZ Ohio, Inc. for annual inspections of 20 county bridges at a cost of $10,500. The commissioners also reviewed and approved re-evaluations submitted by Corsa for courthouse and memorial circle projects. Additionally, there was discussion about grading and improving a site with aggregate and gravel to reopen it as a main facility by the end of September, with contract work ongoing. The meeting included updates on county employee wellness programs, insurance open enrollment, and staffing, but no new contracts or bids were awarded beyond those mentioned. The county also plans to sell a facility, with proceeds returning to the county, and is in early design phases for a morgue project anticipated for 2027. No votes were taken on property tax changes as those are on hold pending new legislation.
