# Hamilton County Commissioners Regular Meeting 10/8/26

The Hamilton County Board of County Commissioners’ regular meeting on October 8, 2026 included several procurement and funding actions. The board unanimously approved consent agenda items 3–9 and 11–18, holding item 10. Approved items included a $1.59 million bid award for concrete and waterproofing repairs in Paycor Stadium’s upper bowl; a $216,979 bid award for legal research software and books; and grants totaling $772,000 for food rescue and reduction programs, funded through Solid Waste District management fees. The food-rescue grants include equipment and related support, including refrigeration, freezer storage, transportation, and food-handling equipment for Lincoln Heights Outreach. The agenda also included a $50,000 domestic-violence grant and several purchase orders, though one stated amount was unclear in the transcript.

Commissioners discussed controlling rising costs in Jobs and Family Services provider contracts. County staff said contracting staff would lead negotiations, with the department’s new director involved, and that bringing new providers into the pool could improve negotiating options. Commissioners also requested written clarification about potential senior relocations related to City West and raised questions about future bids and funding involving the regional sports commission. No procurement decision on those matters was recorded. The meeting also included proclamations and public comments, including a presentation about federal SBA disaster-loan programs.
