The Butler County Board of Commissioners at its meeting on Wednesday:

- Approved an agreement with Kenmac Rental & Sales in Butler to rent tables and chairs for the COVID-19 vaccination facility at the former Sears building at Clearview Mall. The county will pay $1,212 per month for 18 tables and 150 chairs. The commissioners also approved using J & D Cleaning, which is the cleaning company contracted by Butler Health System for Butler Memorial Hospital, to provide cleaning and sanitation at the Clearview Mall vaccination site. The cost will be $1,881 per month plus the cost of paper products, garbage bags and soap. The new vaccination center will open on Wednesday. Shots were formerly administered at Butler Memorial Hospital.

- Approved the request of Lance Welliver, parks and recreation director, to submit a $384,000 grant application to the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to add five permanent restrooms in the upper and lower areas of Alameda Park. The new restrooms would eliminate the composting restroom and provide less dependence on portable restrooms, Welliver said. He said the DCNR will not make its decision on awarding the grant until the end of the year.

Heard solicitor Wil White report that the county will not take out a tax anticipation note in 2021 as it has in previous years. Tax anticipation notes provide revenue for municipalities before tax revenue begins to arrive, but White said the county’s revenue streams are sufficient this year.

- Approved a request by Ed Mauk, director of the county Housing and Redevelopment Authority, to use $25,000 in fee funds from the county Recorder of Deeds to augment the authority’s blight mitigation program. The money will be used for expenses incurred in the blight mitigation process and not to reimburse demolition. In the last two years, the authority has used $5,000 for expenses in the process, Mauk said. Commissioner Kevin Boozel amended the motion to require Mauk to request the funds annually instead of the allocation being open-ended.

- Approved borrowing about $5.2 million from the state Department of Transportation Infrastructure Bank for cash flow funds for the Gateway 228 Improvement Project as well as several bridge rehabilitation projects throughout the county.

- Approved Vicki Hinterberger, Gordon Marburger, Brian McCafferty, Scott McDowell and Nadine Tripodi to the Butler County Community College Board of Trustees for six-year terms that begin on July 1.

- Approved the purchase of a vehicle to tow the county’s new command trailer in an amount of up to $60,000.
