The Lebanon County Commissioner Meeting held on June 19, 2025, addressed several key agenda items, including new appointments, budget approvals, and grant requests.

The meeting commenced with the announcement of new appointees, Caitlin Feder from Blondonderry Village and Douglas Stumpf, who will serve a three-year term starting July 1. Following this, the commissioners discussed the 2025-2026 budget and contracts. A motion was made and seconded to approve the contracts as presented, which passed unanimously.

Next, the commissioners reviewed the budget for the upcoming year. A motion to approve the budget was also made, seconded, and passed without opposition. The discussion then shifted to changes in the advisory council, which were approved after some clarification regarding the membership.

The meeting continued with a review of exemptions for disabled veterans. The commissioners approved tax waivers for several veterans, ensuring they receive the necessary support.

A request for reimbursement was presented for the purchase of hats featuring the America 250 logo, which was approved after a brief discussion. The commissioners then considered a grant request from the Lebanon Area Fair for $12,000 to support advertising efforts. Although the request exceeded the typical funding guidelines, the commissioners debated the merits of waiving the limit. Ultimately, a motion was made to approve the grant, contingent on the availability of funds, which passed with one dissenting vote due to concerns about financial clarity.

In conclusion, the meeting effectively addressed the agenda items, with all motions passing and plans for future discussions on financial allocations. The next steps include monitoring the budget and ensuring that the necessary funds are available for the approved grant requests.
