# Commissioners' Board Meeting 10/6/26

The Lorain County Commissioners’ board meeting on October 6, 2026, included approvals of transfers, requisitions, travel, and bills. The board approved a Job and Family Services purchase-of-service agreement with United Way of Greater Lorain County for 211 information and referral services, not to exceed $39,387, for October 1, 2026–September 30, 2027, funded through Title 20. Commissioners also discussed a separate JFS service agreement for the same period; a commissioner noted that its renewal was accompanied by outcome metrics on children and families served, though the transcript does not clearly identify the amount or provider. The board approved a bridge replacement project (Bridge 0042), estimated at $259,910, with a $150,000 OPWC funding request and local funding from permissive license plate fees.

The board also approved a resolution directing the county prosecutor to seek Common Pleas Court approval to transfer approximately $16.41 million in unencumbered funds from the Q Building jail fund to the county general fund; the transfer remains subject to court approval. Commissioners discussed the jail project’s pause, the potential sale of approximately 350 acres of airport property and the expected proceeds from a mall sale, describing those funds as potential resources for future economic development and permanent improvements. No specific vendor selection or bid award was identified for those property or infrastructure matters.
