Clermont County commissioners are set to consider a $226,359 change order Wednesday, Sept. 23, that would bring the county's 911 radio system upgrade to $4.6 million.
The change order with Ceragon Networks Inc. covers remediation work at seven tower sites across the county as part of the 911 Microwave Backhaul System, a replacement network for the county's public safety radio infrastructure, the Clermont Guardian reported. The system serves the county's Project 25 (P25) communications network, which feeds into Ohio's Multi-Agency Radio Communications System (MARCS), according to county bid documents.
The three-member board, led by President Bonnie Batchler, will also consider authorizing County Engineer Jeremy Evans to apply for state grants through the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) for four road and bridge projects.
Three bridge projects in Washington, Jackson and Monroe townships carry a combined estimated cost of about $2.6 million. Evans would seek $2.06 million from the state for those. A fourth project, roadway and drainage improvements on Aicholtz Road in Union Township, is estimated at $384,755, with $227,005 sought from the OPWC.
That is roughly $3 million in infrastructure work total.
The agenda also includes a three-year lease extension for the Experimental Stream Facility at 1003 U.S. Route 50 in Milford. The county leases the 3,800-square-foot research facility to the federal government through the U.S. General Services Administration, according to U.S. EPA records.
Commissioners will also vote on sending $25,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to Streetlight Ministry, a Batavia-based nonprofit that serves people experiencing homelessness in Southwest Ohio.
Other agenda items include budget transfers for 2026, with $25,000 earmarked for criminal justice operating expenses and $90,000 for water treatment salaries.
The meeting begins at 10 a.m. at the county administration building in Batavia.
