During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the implementation of a new program projected to save approximately $70,000 annually. This initiative follows a successful cost-saving effort related to copier services that reportedly saved the county around $750,000 per year. The emphasis on shared services was highlighted as a key strategy for leveraging resources and reducing expenses for taxpayers.

The meeting also addressed a resolution concerning a conflict of interest waiver for the Delaware County prosecuting attorney. General Counsel Eric Hostetler explained that the board and the veteran service commission had sought the prosecutor's opinion on certain questions, necessitating the waiver to proceed with an independent analysis. The resolution was approved unanimously.

In administrative updates, Commissioner Benton noted that the final renewal figures for healthcare insurance costs were expected soon, following a recent SEPCO board meeting. He also mentioned upcoming meetings, including a land bank discussion and a community lunch event.

Overall, the meeting underscored the county's commitment to fiscal responsibility through shared services and transparent governance.
