# Wayne County Commissioners Meeting of October 14, 2026

At the October 14, 2026, Wayne County Commissioners meeting, commissioners considered several health department and community-development expenditures. They approved the health board’s recommendation to enter a MyVisit electronic medical record, billing, and credentialing contract; the stated fee is 10% of revenue, below the county’s current Athena rate, and the agreement automatically renews unless terminated under its notice provisions. Commissioners also approved moving forward with a grant-funded motorized mobile health unit, estimated at about $265,000, subject to resolving whether the purchase requires competitive bidding or qualifies as a special purchase; no vendor award was made. The board approved a proposed $10,000 reallocation within the $820,000 housing accelerator program to cover unexpected buried-electric-line costs for the Veil infill project, which is part of a 22-home development leveraging a $1.1 million IEDC grant. A separate $500,000 Downtown Ready grant account was reported, with an additional $500,000 requested from county EDIT.

Other procurement and facilities matters included discussion of repairs and preparations for relocating the health department to the former WCare building, including HVAC, lighting, repairs, and a needed service counter; estimates, contractor coordination, and possible WCare reimbursement remain unresolved. The commissioners approved a two-year interlocal agreement with Hagerstown on the prior agreement’s terms, subject to Hagerstown’s agreement and County Council review. They also approved disposal of unusable chairs and expired masks and hand sanitizer. Jail window replacement was reported underway, with landscaping and concrete work expected to follow. The county is awaiting a proposed Best Way contract extension, and an ambulance-specification file remains in progress; neither was awarded at this meeting.
