The Medina County Commissioners’ meeting on September 29, 2026, included several procurement and funding actions. Commissioners approved advertising a public bid for the new Medina County Dog Shelter and approved Change Order No. 3 for the Engineering Center roof replacement, adding $8,360 for replacement of damaged drains. They also approved the use of $439,893.79 in opioid settlement funds for five organizations. The County Engineer presented a Lake Road resurfacing change order, but the transcript does not capture its disposition. Finance resolutions included grant appropriations, including a Drug Task Force grant with $34,035.28 in grant funding and an $11,345.10 local match, plus a $3,832.92 Blue Coats grant for the task force.

Commissioners approved setting public hearings on proposed sanitary sewer and water rate increases and authorized an application for 2027 Ohio EPA loan-fund grants to repair or replace failing household sewage treatment systems. In discussion, county transit staff proposed increasing local contract payments to $5 per mile to better reflect fully allocated operating costs and strengthen the county’s match for competitive ODOT operating grants; no action on the proposal was recorded. The board also approved a letter of support for a Park District application to the Clean Ohio Conservation Fund.
