# Delaware County Commissioners Meeting - October 26  2026

The Delaware County Board of Commissioners’ regular meeting on October 26, 2026, approved several procurement and funding-related actions. The board accepted $81,832.50 in Victims of Crime and State Victims Assistance grants for prosecutor’s office victim services, including a $15,945.30 county match, for the period ending September 30, 2027. It approved a second amendment to SmartBill Ltd.’s real-estate tax billing, printing, processing, and mailing contract. For sewer operations, commissioners approved a second change order with Evoqua Water Technologies LLC extending a chemical-supply contract through 2027 and applying a 3.4% price increase, from $2.57 to $2.66 per gallon; the county reported about $186,000 in spending on the chemical in 2026 to date. The board also set the bid process for a 2027 sludge-thickening polymer supply contract, which typically costs just under $300,000.

Commissioners authorized applications for Ohio Public Works Commission funding for a 2027 roundabout at Cheshire Road and South Kalina Road and, with the City of Delaware, for the city-led East Central Avenue reconstruction project planned for 2028, subject to funding. They approved a $115,000 transfer within the self-insured workers’ compensation fund to cover higher premiums and excess coverage. Following a public hearing, the board unanimously affirmed the Big Bear Farms Section 2, Part 2 and Gulf Village watershed drainage improvement, confirmed assessments and the payment schedule, and ordered contracts to be let; the engineer’s estimated total project cost was $68,068.66. Other approved fiscal items included accepting county levy rates and revenue estimates, supplemental appropriations for drainage-project reimbursements, and an updated Ohio Department of Youth Services grant application. The board also scheduled its 2027 budget hearings; no specific budget allocations were discussed at this meeting.
