The Lycoming County Board of Commissioners on Nov. 19 ratified routine payments and approved a package of administrative and contract actions, including extensions of ARPA-funded agreements and several IT and security renewals.

Speaker 3 presented invoices slated for payment and the board voted to ratify accounts payable. The meeting record included a municipal election payment of $126,636.20, which the board also approved. The presenter read an invoices total as $1,000,279,276 during the meeting record; that figure appears in the transcript as read and may be a transcription or reading anomaly.

The board approved multiple ARPA-related subrecipient amendments: an extension for a Williams Ford Habitat for Humanity build project, an amendment with the Williamsport Municipal Water Authority for water-main replacement and the Brooks Creek pressure-relief valve relocation, and an extension for a Clark Street Habitat project in South Williamsport. County staff and commissioners said these amendments do not change funding levels and are intended to provide additional time for project closeout and invoice processing.

Other items approved by voice vote included the 2026 landfill and transfer-station fee schedules (effective Jan. 1, 2026), an engagement letter for Baker Tilly to conduct the DOH grant audit as required by contract, forensic pathology and psychiatric services for the district attorney's office (not to exceed $20,000 and $50,000 respectively), an LSA grant passthrough of $300,000 for the Wayne Support Home life-safety upgrades, and the purchase of two commercial washers and one dryer ($13,320) reimbursed from local-share grant funds.

The board also approved a series of routine renewals and purchases: a managed engine software buy option presented as a one-time purchase vs. annual license payments, multiple DA-office software renewals, and interior and exterior courthouse camera upgrades budgeted for 2025. Two phone-switch purchases for a prison project were tabled to be presented as a consolidated project.

Several security-related contracts were approved, including a recurring agreement and an invoice for Guardian Protection Services for the new building and 3rd Street Plaza services. A change order request from Keyesdrop Construction for $5,535.13 related to recessed lighting trim rings was tabled while the board seeks clarification about whether the county or contractor is responsible for the additional cost.

Most motions were approved by voice vote with commissioners responding 'aye' on the record. The board set a special session for 10 a.m. on Tuesday to finalize the 2026 budget.

Votes provenance: the actions above were presented across items 5.1–5.24 in the Nov. 19 agenda and are reflected in the meeting transcript from SEG 008 through SEG 1535.
