September 8, 2026 – Medina County Commissioners' Meeting

The Medina County Commissioners held a meeting on September 8, 2026, where several procurement and contract-related matters were addressed. Key procurement actions included approval of a change order reducing costs for a paving project with McB Paving, and authorization for the Solid Waste District to advertise an RFP for household hazardous waste collection, transportation, recycling, and disposal services. The commissioners also approved multiple budget adjustments and expenditure resolutions, including acceptance of a $45,380.38 Edward Burn Memorial Justice Assistance Grant for the Medina County Drug Task Force, which requires a local match of $11,345.10. Additionally, a memorandum of understanding was approved with the Medina County Soil and Water Conservation District to assist with National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permits. The meeting featured a detailed discussion on tightening regulations and permitting processes for fiber optic installations in the county to improve oversight, reduce damage to private easements, and limit the number of open permits per fiber company to four at a time. This policy discussion aimed to enhance enforcement capabilities and ensure better coordination with residents and townships. Other agenda items included personnel changes, facility maintenance updates, and appointments, but no further procurement actions were noted.
