Key formal actions recorded in the meeting include approval of payment from the general fund and county bills in the amount of $2,016,577.78 and approval of human services payment vouchers that included $8,255 for the homeless assistance program, $274 for the human services development fund, $500 for fair, and $500 for whole home repair. The board approved a Pike County home program payment voucher payable to Frank Diaz for $700 and approved a correction to a 2023 Community Development Block Grant voucher payable to ProSolutions Home Renovations LLC from $7,813 to $7,413.

The board approved a motion presented by Gina Rios, identified as Tax Claim Bureau director, to exonerate 34 properties sold from the county repository in January 2025. The meeting record also shows the board approved promoting Cassandra Correa to telecommunicator 3 at the Pike County 911 Center effective April 23, 2025; subsequently the salary board approved an increase in Correa's hourly rate to $26.64 effective the same date.

On procurement and bidding matters, the board received bid openings and a public bidder readout. The commission then voted to table action on those bids until May 2, 2025. Separately, the board approved a motion to advertise bids for the Bank Avenue paving project.

The board approved execution of a professional services agreement between the Wright Center for Community Health and the County of Pike on behalf of Children & Youth Services and approved other miscellaneous calendar and extension items.

All motions with recorded voting were adopted as stated in the meeting record; when the transcript recorded only \"motion\" and \"second\" without named movers or seconders, the record lists the motion as passed by voice vote with commissioners saying \"Aye.\" Where a commissioner explicitly abstained, that is noted. No votes failing or motions tabled beyond the agreed May 2 date were recorded.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","April 23, 2025 Commissioners Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","At the April 23 meeting the Pike County Board of Commissioners approved agendas and minutes, authorized payments, confirmed personnel actions including a promotion and pay increase, adopted several proclamations, authorized grant application, and took motions on bids and procurement.","taxTitle","Pike County, Pennsylvania","taxId",73793,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6579248,"Pike County approves application for DCED strategic management planning grant, agrees local match",0,1365000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3095135-1390db4110b415ff26dfc2aca6be6cd5&start=1365&end=1365","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3095135-1390db4110b415ff26dfc2aca6be6cd5/thumbnail_1365000.jpg","/articles/6579248/Pike-County/Pennsylvania/Pike-County-approves-application-for-DCED-strategic-management-planning-grant-agrees-local-match","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6579248-6b6680d96ff088adf8674b3d3923402f/orig.mp4?Expires=1777719042&Signature=YK-DFvex~xQo22o6Fhzt5GIbMlXthCJ2~fUDBpsJ-bfm12cMClMeDrq1YUtEDTis2BXJfEhvddhrB~dHBa1tcwCD4XJh4M5n8g3eGnXhMIjXP3oYuq~Xqn3wqV2WlE4UJfZ3i43twmX5iMmzYB2Eb0edIH5mhyOiwTHHZhnbzUMUw1w0Jjkp9g778vjwZkedu1LNT9CHXpEICWqu8oVMVQupjZiNZyMPy1fu2pxtFicpDkbIG1uQpYgKAh5S0WzkWuB7pRdCWn5rFKhAiV4U1o1rNy8iFHQFPBNAY6xdLHAVDbT2WXFzr-rUxh5UmbTu1OXqY3HueOxC2UlqZcp2kw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Pike County commissioners on April 23 adopted Resolution 25-13 authorizing application for a strategic management planning program grant through the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development and committing a 25% local match to the project.

The resolution authorizes the county chief clerk to apply for the grant and indicates the county will allocate local resources equal to 25% of the project's cost.

Jonas Crafts, representing the DCED governor's local government services center, described the program as a grant that helps counties analyze financial structure, plan five-year financial scenarios and contract for third-party professional services to review county finances. \"It's a state grant for $200,000,\" Crafts said, and he noted the grant process includes selecting professional services and a multiyear implementation timeline.

Commissioners recorded the resolution as adopted and asked staff to proceed with the application process.

\"Kinship is where victim advocacy begins,\" said Tara, a county victim services representative, who outlined how kinship drives connections to services and trauma-informed care. Tara asked the county to publicize Denim Day (April 30) and other awareness events that support survivors.

A commissioner offered a personal anecdote about a local victim and emphasized the importance of community members reporting concerning incidents, though that speaker was not identified by name in the record.

The proclamation notes AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps Seniors programs provide service opportunities across nonprofits, schools and public agencies and specifically cited the Pike County RSVP program sponsored by Diacon Community Services and partnered with the Pike County Area Agency on Aging.

\"Thank you, commissioners, for taking the time to acknowledge the invaluable contributions of our volunteers,\" said Mary Grace Joseph, RSVP director, who accepted the proclamation on behalf of the AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP program. Joseph and other RSVP representatives stood with volunteers at the meeting while commissioners presented the resolution.

Don Motian, who identified himself as RSVP coordinator, summarized the program's service in 2024 and invited more volunteers to join. \"In 2024, the Pike County volunteers delivered approximately 57,634 meals to homebound seniors,\" Motian said. He also reported 76 Pike County volunteers logged about 13,225.08 hours of service with an estimated financial impact of $413,830.07.

The commissioners also heard details about other RSVP activities: support for five local senior centers (9,429 congregate meals), assistance at local food pantries (about 9,000 clients served at one pantry), senior-friendly-call programs, volunteer Medicare counseling for roughly 84 beneficiaries, and an ombudsman volunteer serving long-term care residents.

The proclamation encourages residents to thank AmeriCorps members and volunteers and highlights volunteer recruitment needs for meal delivery, kitchen assistance and Medicare counseling.

The county's formal action on the proclamation was recorded as approved by the commissioners.","Pike County commissioners adopted Resolution 25-10 recognizing April 2025 as National Volunteer Week and received remarks and service statistics from RSVP program leaders.","actionData","errors"]
