The term was corrected in the record to run from the date of approval through March 2027. County staff said inspection and final inspection services will be paid through grant funds or through Act 137, and commissioners approved the agreement by voice vote.

Commissioners also approved an amended service proposal with contractor Carter Mitchell to add a fifth home to the program at a rate of $90 per hour. Staff reported that three of the five homes have already been inspected by Carter Mitchell and that the county anticipates going out to bid in April for work on two or three of the properties; staff noted that some homes may require more extensive upgrades than others.

Both items were presented by county staff and approved without recorded roll‑call tallies; the meeting record shows voice votes of “aye.” Staff also noted earlier that the department is engaged in multiple concurrent projects, including water main work and YMCA project support.","Commissioners approved a corrected two‑year service agreement with AAA Electrical Inspections for home‑rehab inspections and added a fifth home to a service proposal with Carter Mitchell at $90 per hour; bids for upgrades are expected in April.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6646979,"Commissioners approve engineering services for YMCA pool ceiling and HVAC replacement",60,1678000,1738000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2525901-deda09f1b3f705bbe4d0687dc24838b6&start=1678&end=1738","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2525901-deda09f1b3f705bbe4d0687dc24838b6/thumbnail_1678000.jpg","/articles/6646979/Pennsylvania/Commissioners-approve-engineering-services-for-YMCA-pool-ceiling-and-HVAC-replacement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6646979-86893e550afdab4fa71334893b900649/orig.mp4?Expires=1771073563&Signature=CZXBr~OfaVSQ5OGuOSO6c~0db0LxW2crYyhqZ~1RQcUshtisvzq8B5HWHeTPECFQm-TkBOIDmpnNZ4HHhLDHwhl32b0snyNXzZ26Tu6FgQ~zvECNI6Dvr0YZpBhptoP1ufG0aB76XDHCFmRmh6R1DAUzM5QogeaK87QhZVjV6-MLakB3LX~teCib2qknH-VSPAeCnwupeyBe14RK9nOENRxivKhtiBNRdihfdKgj3vHwGvAaHISW1dc8oumdYtMVGDIp3gRZK8b3~vwYVf~iA35CMhtUnlRbUSu5~B5-0Fm6YVv2UADwf6mdzpxzv6Z3VFLFryT5jOhBdmzuuAZHpA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mifflin County commissioners approved an engineering and architectural services agreement with EADS Group for rehabilitation of the YMCA pool ceiling and replacement of the pool pack (the pool’s environmental control system).

Staff said the YMCA of the Juniata Valley received a $600,000 local share grant from the Commonwealth Finance Authority. The county agreement with the EADS Group covers architectural and engineering services for $66,790 and includes site investigation and project planning. Staff told commissioners that the YMCA’s swim season generally runs September through March and that the work is expected to be carried out during the summer of 2026 because of material lead times.

The presenter noted that prevailing wage rates will apply because the contracts will exceed $25,000. Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the agreement by voice vote.

The meeting record does not list additional conditions or a detailed construction schedule; staff said the grant contract runs through June 30, 2027.","County agreed to pay $66,790 for architectural and engineering services for the YMCA of the Juniata Valley pool ceiling rehabilitation and pool pack replacement, supported by a $600,000 Commonwealth Finance Authority local share grant.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6646984,"Mifflin County approves water‑main replacement project for Juniata Terrace with Geyer Brothers",107,1438000,1545000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2525901-deda09f1b3f705bbe4d0687dc24838b6&start=1438&end=1545","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2525901-deda09f1b3f705bbe4d0687dc24838b6/thumbnail_1438000.jpg","/articles/6646984/Pennsylvania/Mifflin-County-approves-watermain-replacement-project-for-Juniata-Terrace-with-Geyer-Brothers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6646984-44080a2d74352985e97b0e527b859843/orig.mp4?Expires=1771073563&Signature=FIIf9pqZkpXciY-vn79W~I-o4Ov0q-oKzmXHRgVEgmLKVbhJmoO09Poonrsuo3wxxPQ83uRus3LVBsviV04JjzUG5nAHw6thrC4BN64LSa0L8wQ1Re434mXAeO635fdPR95~DEsMXZNcWYPG2yCeYUziKQP~wr~7Ld15N8vGkaa2USYIlBI310HYZ8lFZN~bxdKh9GkksViRB1aizDEUN3Z6GkNtPbLgsT3mOdQn0m1UMnZfTmVjrTB7CT4Df26t2Tu5lVyOJwk1DMYNJ1f8ElhqXxvIBQ~tvow35~Ne5as5gMMZe~gxMgNlz8eklb5s8TriFjv6CHREk8FxVmW66g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mifflin County commissioners approved an agreement with Geyer Brothers for the Juniata Terrace Water Main Replacement Project, a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) competitive project intended to upgrade a 4‑inch main to an 8‑inch main along roughly 3,600 linear feet and to extend the line under Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks.

Staff described the project route: the new 8‑inch main will be extended from the existing MCIDC Industrial Park along Roundhouse Road, make a 90‑degree crossing under Norfolk Southern Railroad, continue uphill and then parallel Community Avenue to a connection near the existing water tank. The work is intended to provide an additional source/loop for the borough’s system; the new line will be owned and maintained by the municipal authority, not the county.

Meeting materials referenced a county agreement amount of $587,322 and also discussed a total contract amount of $921,380, of which $837,618 was shown as construction costs; staff said the project comprises about 3,600 linear feet of piping and anticipated substantial completion within 120 days of notice to proceed. Staff further stated that competitive project rules mean any excess funds (reported as about $163,000 in the record) must be returned to “DCD” as noted in the presentation; the county also has roughly $167,000 in 2020 entitlement funds that could be used for other eligible water projects.

Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the agreement by voice vote. The record identifies the project as a competitive CDBG project and notes that ownership and long‑term maintenance will rest with the municipal authority.

No additional conditions or changes to the contractor were noted in the meeting record; staff told commissioners the contractor had been known to the county but did not provide a full past‑work history in the public remarks recorded.","Commissioners approved a county agreement with Geyer Brothers for the Juniata Terrace water‑main replacement, a CDBG competitive project involving about 3,600 linear feet of new 8‑inch main; funding and contract figures were presented in the meeting.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6646989,"Mifflin County amends tri‑county opioid agreement as Single County Authority reports increases in treatment access",272,220000,492000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2525901-deda09f1b3f705bbe4d0687dc24838b6&start=220&end=492","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2525901-deda09f1b3f705bbe4d0687dc24838b6/thumbnail_220000.jpg","/articles/6646989/Pennsylvania/Mifflin-County-amends-tricounty-opioid-agreement-as-Single-County-Authority-reports-increases-in-treatment-access","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6646989-7c2b0363b667e9fe5c5443fbc1661d32/orig.mp4?Expires=1771073563&Signature=FeS3imEuQzO-N7O94hAnY-S2l29G719VY6OXeUbLut4mWQZJYhcvRv7OlIL~XxYl3v5yWX2U9bKtUUZw7esnbQerfX7sRe3zRTWpLRGkqJOqavyOeNqe6bBLWfwEaUlBhEwGpiHJCapTRXbLq3SlBPfz3lCwh8FpffPkMvWEZu35OjuPMvSEhmvxdnyjeUVOEAqPyPI~oTsaLcEjl14dmPTmSPPEb2c76U7~0mUEaDKpneNn1hgGuEyxKc4pFD0BQDS4zhNDkuogq--OmMcAVM39PyR1Is0lB3BodBF2TayJWoMN89LLALffAqJOSEwgx6iExKKzhCZkXmtwe4vCRw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mifflin County commissioners voted to approve Amendment No. 1 to a memorandum of agreement dated Oct. 20, 2022, to add newly awarded opioid settlement funds to the existing tri‑county arrangement.

The change was introduced as part of a presentation by Mikayla Mills, fiscal officer for the Juniata Valley Tri‑County Single County Authority (SCA), who updated the commission on programs paid for with opioid settlement dollars and by the SCA.

The amendment was described as adding funds that were not included in the original agreement and adding a termination clause that allows either party, if they agree, to terminate within 60 days. Commissioners moved and seconded the amendment and approved it by voice vote.

Mikayla Mills told the commissioners that the SCA used settlement dollars to fund public awareness and access strategies, including print, radio and digital media, crisis cards and speaking engagements, and by embedding drug and alcohol case managers in the jail, probation, children and youth services, the courts and treatment providers. She reported measured increases in several access metrics comparing fiscal year 2022–23 to 2023–24: a 24 percent increase in individuals assessed for treatment, a 19 percent increase in individuals receiving case management, a 19 percent increase in referrals from probation and corrections, and a 47 percent increase in referrals for children and youth.

The SCA also increased distribution points for naloxone (Narcan). Mills said Narcan is available at the SCA office, at periodic distribution events, and in a distribution box located in the Compass Building on South Dorcas Street; the SCA is working to place a box at the Dream Center and Narcan has also been made available at a local food pantry. Mills provided a contact for services and upcoming events: (717) 242‑1446. She said the SCA will continue to prioritize access to treatment, case management, prevention, student assistance programs, medication‑assisted treatment and crisis response services and will pursue additional programs if more funds become available.

The presentation followed an agenda item that introduced the amendment to the Oct. 20, 2022, memorandum of agreement; commissioners approved the amendment by voice vote. The record does not identify a formal roll‑call tally in the transcript.

Mills answered commissioners’ questions about the Single County Authority structure, explaining that each Pennsylvania county has a single county authority and that the local authority serving Huntingdon, Mifflin and Juniata counties is called Juniata Valley Tri‑County Drug and Alcohol.

Commissioners did not set additional conditions in the meeting record; follow‑up actions were not specified beyond the amendment’s approval and the SCA’s stated priorities for spending additional funds.","Commissioners approved Amendment No. 1 to a 2022 memorandum of agreement to cover newly awarded opioid settlement funds; Juniata Valley Tri‑County Single County Authority reported increases in assessments, case management and referrals and expanded Narcan distribution.","actionData","errors"]
