Chief among the approvals was a contract awarded to Stantec Consulting Services Inc. to conduct the Shaker Creek Sewer Study. The agreement, which is capped at a not-to-exceed amount of $92,480, will run from June 10, 2026, through May 31, 2027. The contract was passed unanimously as part of the board's consent agenda.

Administrator Judy Boyko noted that water and sewer personnel responsible for connection permits and extensions will be housed in the newly renovated Liberty Fairfield Road facility. To support the move, the board approved a $367,861 contract for office furniture and fixtures to equip the 20,000-square-foot space, which will be shared with the county's development and zoning staff.
