Washington Township voters will have a new place to cast their ballots.

The Butler County commissioners, serving as the county board of elections, on Wednesday approved moving the township polling place from the township building on Old Brick Road to the North Washington fire hall at 2225 Oneida Valley Road.

Shari Brewer, county elections bureau director, explained the change was needed to have a site that was compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act.

Print services

The county commissioners approved seeking a request for proposals for one vendor to manage print services.

The county currently has more than 40 contracts with three vendors, paying a total of $76,455 in 2015 for such expenses as copy machine leases and maintenance.

The commissioners maintain consolidating the services would save money and improve efficiency.

Wireless service

The commissioners approved a three-year contract with Armstrong Cable to provide wireless Internet services in the government center and courthouse.

Jim Venturini, county information technology director, said only staff and possibly attorneys would be able to access the new network.

Commissioner Kevin Boozel stressed the network would be segregated from the county's internal computer system.

Municipal projects

The commissioners ratified the 2015 state Community Development Block Grant funding of $696,016 for eight municipal projects.

The projects must be completed by July 26, 2021.

The commissioners also approved two change orders totaling $16,525 for two municipal projects receiving CDBG funding.

The first change was adding $12,085 to a revitalization project in Zelienople.

Wendy Leslie, county CDBG coordinator, explained the change was needed to rebuild a portion of a retaining wall by a new public parking lot.

The total cost of the entire project is now $653,660.

The second change was adding $4,440 to the Marion Township water supply project, increasing the total cost to $226,933. Leslie said a water well needed repaired.

To meet state Department of Environmental Protection regulations, the township had to assume and overhaul the former Boyers water system.

No county money is being used to fund either project.
