The Seneca County commissioners unanimously rescinded their motion to enter into contract negotiations to hire North Central Ohio Regional Council of Governments as project coordinator for the joint justice center project during their special meeting Monday. According to Commissioner Fred Zoeller, the consortium of the city, county and judges were at a stalemate and it was imperative the three entities move forward together because of the size and scope of the project. A new leadership team is to be formed and would include two Tiffin City Council representatives, Tiffin Mayor Aaron Montz, two judges and a commissioner and decisions would have to be unanimous to move forward. Any decisions made by the leadership team must be approved by commissioners, council and the judges.
