The Washington County Commissioners are quietly finishing out the calendar year 2020.
Commissioners met Wednesday morning for a short business meeting to handle additional appropriations for capital projects, salaries and life insurance.
An annual lease agreement between the O'Neill Center and the Retired Senior Volunteer Program was approved.
Commissioner David White said it is for RSVP to have offices in the O'Neill Center.
"That lease has been in place for a very long time," he said, noting the City of Marietta leases the property to the O'Neill Center for $1 per year, who then leases two offices to RSVP.
White said because of the nature of the organization, they haven't had a lot of office hours this year.
"I don't remember them waiting this late to get it done in the past, but it's been a weird year," Commission President Ron Feathers said.
Next week's meeting will be the last of the year, with the new commissioners getting sworn in the first weekend of the month.
Jamie Booth will be sworn in by Commissioner Kevin Ritter at 9 a.m. Jan. 2 at the Washington County Courthouse. Charlie Schilling will be sworn in by Washington County Common Pleas Judge John Halliday at noon Jan. 3 at the courthouse.
Their organizational meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. Jan. 6 in the commissioners' room.
