The Fulton County Commissioners held their regular session on Thursday, September 18, 2025. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance and an opening prayer before roll call was taken.
Minutes from the September 16, 2025, session were approved, and the day’s agenda was adopted as presented.
The board also approved and authorized its president to sign Contract 2025-78 with the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) for the Sheriff’s Office to continue membership in the NORIS user group for software services during the 2026 calendar year.
The total contract amount is $13,261.50, and the resolution notes that all actions were taken in open session in compliance with Ohio Revised Code 121.22.
Commissioners reviewed the August 2025 investment report, which listed balances across CDs, negotiable CDs, corporate bonds, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac instruments, Israel Bonds, and Treasury Bonds, along with associated interest income and maturity dates.
A letter from the Fulton County Health Department was entered into the record, confirming that an August 28, 2025, inspection of the Fulton County Transfer Facility and its records revealed no violations of Ohio Administrative Code rules for municipal solid waste transfer facilities.
A resolution was then passed to adjust appropriations and transfer funds between several accounts, including $15,000 moved from EMS repair services to EMS vehicle repairs, $7,500 reallocated from Veterans Services vehicles to Soldiers Relief advertising, and $35,000 shifted within Public Assistance funds to cover professional services and other shared expenses.
Routine purchase orders and travel requests were also approved before the meeting concluded at 9:06 a.m.
