Berks County commissioners approved the Oct. 30 meeting agenda after the clerk read the agenda items, which included budget transfers and 2025 appropriations, multiple personnel appointments and reappointments to advisory councils, and a proposed revision to assessment appeal filing fees.

At the start of the meeting, Commissioner Christian Leinbach asked whether there were any additions or corrections to the Oct. 23 meeting minutes; with none offered, he said the minutes would "stand approved as presented." Later in the meeting a motion to approve the agenda as presented was moved and seconded; commissioners voted "aye" and Leinbach announced the motion carried.

The agenda packet (as read aloud) listed these items among others:

- Budget: a resolution authorizing 2025 budget transfers totaling $110,029 and 2025 appropriations totaling $545,247 (listing dated 10/24/2025).
- Human resources: appointment of Corey Schoonover to senior financial analyst, Budget and Finance; promotion of Corinne Holmes from certified legal intern to assistant county solicitor in Children and Youth Services; establishment of a new hourly part‑time rate for part‑time deputy investigators in the coroner's office.
- Area Agency on Aging advisory council: several reappointments and appointments for two‑year terms expiring 12/31/2027, including Catherine Delcamp (Fleetwood), Catherine Wenzel (Reading), Vanessa Rodriguez (Reading), John F. Vogel II (Reading), Edwin Jankowski (Wyomissing), Mark Sprow (Shillington), Karen Miller (Wyomissing), Sydney Malek (Wyomissing) and Tracy York (Reading) (names as read from the agenda).
- Filing fees: a proposed revision to assessment appeal filing fees effective Jan. 1, 2026, with the packet listing the following changes: residential filing fee increasing from $25 to $50; commercial and industrial filing fee increasing from $100 to $200; exemption filing fee increasing from $100 to $200; mobile home fee unchanged at $25.
- Contracts and payments: authorization to execute contract agreements and amendments listed on the contract agenda (seven contracts listed, including services for the youth shelter, children and youth services, court administration and facilities and operations), and motions to authorize electronic payments and payroll disbursements as listed.

The clerk also read an item authorizing the chief operations officer and deputy chief operations officer to execute bed‑space agreements for the Berks County Youth Center shelter care program on an as‑needed basis, subject to solicitor review, and an item (noted as withdrawn in the reading) related to excess worker compensation coverage renewal that would be filed and bound by the county's broker.

Neither the clerk's reading nor the commissioners' subsequent comments recorded individual roll‑call votes on the listed resolutions in the public transcript; the record shows the board approved the meeting agenda containing those items. The audio record also shows routine financial reports from the treasurer and controller were presented later in the meeting.

A motion to adjourn was made and seconded at the end of the meeting; the chair declared the meeting adjourned.
