Clermont County commissioners approve vendor payments, contracts and appointments; transit grant match corrected to 50/50
The Clermont County Board of Commissioners approved a series of routine resolutions and recorded roll-call votes at its Nov. 12 meeting.

Key actions approved:
- Resolution 172-25: approval of vendor payments totaling $4,907,901.33 and authorization for the county auditor to issue warrants under the Ohio Revised Code (section 319.16 as cited in the record). Vote: Commissioners recorded as voting yes.

- Sole-source procurement: the board authorized execution of a GSA federal supply schedule rider with Train US, Inc. for a jail chiller unit and chiller-panel controls not to exceed $279,877; the item was presented by Sgt. Newsome and adopted by roll call.

- Transit contract extension: the board adopted Resolution 173-25 to authorize the county administrator to execute contract extensions with the Ohio Department of Transportation Office of Transit to permit drawdowns of FY23–24 Ohio Urban Transit GRF funds totaling $357,081.

- Transit partnership grant application (amended): staff initially presented Resolution 174-25 to file an application requesting $975,000 under the Ohio Transit Partnership Program; after staff clarification that operating grants require a 50/50 state/federal match (not the 20/80 phrasing in the packet), the board rescinded the earlier motion, amended the resolution to set the match at 50/50, and re-adopted Resolution 174-25 with that correction.

- Animal shelter donations: the board accepted unrestricted monetary donations deposited to the dog and kennel fund (donation period 07/01/2025–09/30/2025) and accepted donated food and supplies pursuant to the statute cited in the record; animal-shelter staff discussed ongoing facility projects and community events.

- Appointments and reappointments: the board approved the corrected reappointment of Edwin Humphrey to the Clermont County Public Library Board of Trustees (term 01/01/2026–12/31/2029) and reappointed David Thamen, Jeffrey Weir and Mary Jane West to the Clermont County Board of Developmental Disabilities (terms 01/01/2026–12/31/2029).

- Appropriation adjustments: the board approved small year-end supplemental appropriations to cover fringe and salary shortages across several departments (examples provided in the packet and read by the Office of Management & Budget).

All recorded roll-call votes for motions called during the meeting were recorded as affirmative by the commissioners present. Several motions were moved and seconded on the record; specific mover/second details were noted verbally in the meeting but not all were tied to formal name at roll call in the transcript.
