# Commissioners' Board Meeting 11/6/26

The Lorain County Commissioners’ Board meeting on November 6, 2026, included several procurement- and funding-related actions. Commissioners unanimously approved a $24,200 consulting services agreement with American Superstructures Point Inc. for final engineering and construction plans for the traffic-signal replacement at North Ridge and Bombart Road in Pittsfield Township, funded through the engineer project account. The board also approved a resolution connected to tax-exempt financing and a 2.3771-acre property transfer for Kendal at Oberlin’s planned expansion of 16 independent-living units. Routine resolutions for appropriations, transfers, advances and repayments, requisitions, and meeting minutes were approved. One requisition for saddles was held pending confirmation that the expense would be covered by donations rather than levy funds.

The commissioners discussed continued funding for the county’s VIA microtransit service. For a proposed 2027 one-year contract, the transit director described $1.5 million in federal funds and a local match plan involving city contributions and a requested $200,000 county contribution; no new funding commitment was approved at this meeting. The director reported that the previous pilot and extension cost about $3.2 million in federal funds and $2.3 million in local match, and said a transportation development plan—with service options, costs, and potential partnerships—is scheduled for presentation on November 20. The discussion also covered possible future revenue sources and a brokerage model using vehicles operated by other agencies.
