# Delaware County Commissioners Meeting - October 15,  2026

The Delaware County, Ohio Board of Commissioners’ regular meeting on October 15, 2026 included several procurement and capital-project actions. The board approved a services agreement with Metals Treatment Technologies LLC for lead removal at the county fire and range training facility, a conditional sale of a ballistic vest to the Plain City Police Department, and sheriff’s office appropriation changes to pay a concealed-handgun permit clerk from permit revenues. It also approved a FY2027 reimbursement funding agreement with the Delaware-Morrow Mental Health and Recovery Services Board for qualifying psychotropic medications, and acknowledged the 2025 tax-incentive review councils’ recommendation to continue active incentives found in compliance. No dollar amounts were stated for these agreements or actions.

The board considered three contingency requests for the Social Services Administration Facility project, whose construction GMP was reported at about $33.9 million and total estimated project cost at about $41.9 million. The request for storage of the pre-engineered metal building was rejected 2–1; the owner-contingency request for design changes was approved 2–1; and the owner-contingency request for subgrade stabilization was approved unanimously. In project updates, the Transportation Improvement District offered up to $750,000 for Bale Canyon Road Phase 3, pending state funding decisions. The Orange Road railroad grade-separation estimate has risen to $50 million; reported commitments included $21 million federal, $10 million from WARFC, and $7 million state funding, with a further $1.5 million MORPC funding request submitted. The board also voted to enter executive session to consider purchasing property for public purposes; no purchase decision was reported.
