# Delaware County Commissioners' Meeting - October 1, 2026a

The Delaware County Board of Commissioners’ regular meeting of October 1, 2026, approved purchase orders, warrants, and transfers in batch CF-APR0930/MT-APR0930. The board also approved Resolution 26-722, awarding a contract to SafeBuilt Ohio LLC for residential and non-residential inspections and plan review. Staff said the contract replaces an expiring arrangement, helps meet Ohio-mandated turnaround times while the county continues trying to hire in-house staff, and builds on a satisfactory prior relationship. Under Resolution 26-723, the board approved group life insurance and voluntary benefits for county employees for the 2027 plan year, including coverage involving Voya, Colonial, and Amerflex. Staff recommended retaining Voya for the next two years, citing positive claims and customer service and a 41% decrease in group life premiums.

The board rejected Resolution 26-725, which would have authorized a $387,270 purchase of 25.81 acres on County Home Road from the Buckeye Valley Local School District; commissioners voted no, citing concerns about the price and their duty to protect county taxpayers. The board approved Resolution 26-726, amending its earlier approval of an assignment and assumption agreement involving ATS Automation US Holding 6 and the Creekside Business Park community reinvestment area agreement to address an incorrect date and allow immaterial changes to the final draft. The meeting also included public comment about property tax valuations and levies; no related spending action was taken.
