Trumbull County Commissioners-Workshop 9/22/2026

The Trumbull County Commissioners held a workshop on September 22, 2026, focusing extensively on budgetary transfers, contract awards, and capital improvement projects. Key procurement discussions included the approval of a contract award to Investigator Services LLC for three home sewage treatment systems contingent on homeowner payments totaling $4,395. The commissioners also reviewed and discussed a significant change order for the Golden Triangle Infrastructure Improvement Project in Warren, Ohio, involving an increase of approximately $66,800 due to unforeseen underground utilities and quantity overruns. The county serves as the fiscal agent for this grant-funded project, with the city of Warren responsible for the costs. The commissioners emphasized the need for improved notification and approval processes for change orders to avoid unexpected cost overruns. Additionally, the board authorized a three-year, $195,564 contract with Rapid SOS for a subscription service to enhance 911 call quality assurance and compliance with state mandates. Other agenda items included support for a bridge rehabilitation project in Mercer County and discussions on vehicle purchases for the sheriff's office. The meeting concluded with concerns raised about facility maintenance and staffing issues at a county building, followed by an executive session on public employee matters.
