Harrison commissioners to move some meetings

The Harrison County commissioners will change their meeting site a few times this year, a move announced at the board’s Jan. 21 meeting.

Resolution 4-26 changes the regular meeting location from the courthouse to the Harrison County Home for the Feb. 18 meeting. The board will meet at its regular time of 10 a.m. Commissioner Amy Norris said the board plans to rotate some meetings to different locations.

Commissioner Paul Prevot said the Feb. 18 meeting at the County Home also will include bid openings. Sealed bids for removal and installation of a new generator at the County Home will be accepted through Tuesday, Feb. 17. Specifications may be obtained by emailing County Home Administrator Albert Peters at apeters@harrisoncountyohio.gov.

Under advances, the board approved appropriation increases of $30,000 for administrative costs and $30,000 for inspectors for a demolition grant. The board also appropriated $200,000 for demolition, bringing the total to $260,000. Prevot also read that $346,945.79 was appropriated back to the general fund.

Under agreements, the board approved a Road Use Maintenance Agreement for logging in Shortcreek Township. The agreement covers 2.75 miles of Harrison 15, also known as Foxes Bottom Road, for harvesting and removal tied to a private residence.

The board also approved Resolution 3-26 regarding unused, unneeded or obsolete personal property valued at less than $2,500. The resolution covers six desk chairs and four floor mats from the office of Harrison County Prosecutor Lauren Knight. Knight said in a letter to the board the items are mostly broken and have significant defects, and she requested they be disposed of under Ohio Revised Code 307.12(B)(1).
