Licking County Commissioners Rick Black

Duane H. Flowers County Commissioners must understand the responsibilities of each of these other county office holders.

All functions of County Government, and the public's expectations that county government works, depend greatly on the actions and authority of Ohio's Boards of County Commissioners. Every elected official - the sheriff, judges, prosecuting attorney, treasurer, auditor, clerk of courts, engineer, coroner and recorder - rely on County Commissioners for funding. This knowledge allows the Commissioner

s to allocate federal and state funds, and local tax revenue to these other offices using careful budget oversight. Ohio's Boards of County Commissioners were created by the state legislator and may only perform functions authorized by state law. Yet, as this picture of modern-day county government reveals, the responsibility of County Commissioners to make government work locally has grown larger than ever before.

Picnic Point Renovation Dedication

On Saturday June 13th the greater Buckeye Lake (Ohio) community turned out to celebrate the completion of Phase 1 of the renovation of the North Shore Park.

Buckeye Lake is one of Ohio’s historic ‘Canal Lakes’ that touches Licking, Fairfield and Perry Counties. This 1st Phase included landscaping, new paved paths and a shelter house on ‘Picnic Point’ - a long time destination for visitors to the Lake and years ago to what was the nearby Buckeye Lake Amusement Park.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) is collaborating with the Buckeye Lake Region Corporation (BLRC) and the Buckeye Lake Chamber of Commerce to champion this and a list of future improvements including a public dock extending out from the North Shore. The BLRC represents the three counties, and the villages and townships in Lake area.

On hand for the dedication were…Fairfield County Commissioner Dave Levacy, Licking County Commissioner Tim Bubb, Hebron Mayor Valarie Mockus, Buckeye Lake Park Manager Mark Hoffhines, BLRC Exec Mike Fornataro, State Rep. Kevin Miller, Buckeye Lake Mayor Linda Goodman, and ODNR Chief of Parks Glen Cobb. Also attending were State Representatives Thad Claggett and Jeff LaRe.

Reminder...don't forget to let your voice be heard to help shape the future of Licking County.

This week is "National Waste and Recycling Workers Week", so we are honoring our very own staff member, Laura Merchant!

Laura is one of three Licking County Recycling staff members, and she's the "Recycling Services Representative". Her main role is to pick up recycling in almost 30 county government buildings throughout the entire county. You might also see her cleaning up outside our public recycling drop off bins too.

She has been with us since the end of 2024, and continually gets compliments from other county employees she interacts with. She is a dedicated environmentalist, recycler, and composter. We are so happy to have her on our team! 😀

Thank you for all of your hard work Laura!
