Linda Abraham, who appeared with Central Court staff, told commissioners the copiers used by the court and the magistrates were many years old; parts were unavailable and some trays could not be used. \"The copiers gentlemen were obsolete. We in fact at Central Court couldn't use the first tray because they were unable to get the parts to replace it,\" Abraham said.

Court staff confirmed each office requisitioned the equipment and the funds exist in the respective accounts; the request was presented as a resolution because the lease required board approval. Commissioners voted to approve the leasing arrangement; a roll call recorded \"Yes\" votes from Commissioner Kennedy and Commissioner Gubler and the chair declared the motion carried.

County staff said the leasing company is Direct Image (the dealer) and that the lease is executed through the vendor’s leasing partner.

Public safety staff presented resolution 91 to earmark the $29,250 grant to the department’s pre‑disaster mitigation general expense account; the board approved the amendment by roll call. \"We received a grant for the pre disaster mitigation fund in the amount of $29,250,\" the presenter said.

The planning office requested a transfer of $30,411.42 from its capital contingency into contracted services to cover invoices for county parks and boat‑launch maintenance through June; the board approved resolution 92. Commissioners said the county expects Marcellus legacy funds and other receipts to arrive in June or July to replenish accounts.

The board also approved three additional transfers in one motion: a $4,500 transfer for jail IRP materials and supplies; two transfers for the voters’ office — $14,328.06 from capital contingency into major equipment and $30,872 into minor equipment — for a combined total of $45,200.06.

Chad Strobel, director of public safety, said the systemwide upgrade addresses an end of support for the county’s prior cybersecurity platform and will be paid over eight years by the participating counties.

Strobel said the new system totals $2,051,840 and will be split among 11 counties over an eight‑year span. \"The new cyber security system that they will be installing into our radio system, will add, over 8 years ... $2,000,051 or $2,051,840. So that, again, is split up between 11 different counties and over 8 year time span,\" Strobel said.

Strobel told commissioners the county’s share will be funded through existing program funding: approximately 84% from state funding and 15% from enhancement project funds already applied for, and he said the change would not affect the county general fund. \"So there won't be any effect on the general fund for the county,\" Strobel said. He described cybersecurity as a growing risk and urged approval.

The board passed resolution 89 by roll call. Commissioners discussed that the ICOR partnership recently grew from nine to 11 counties with Mercer County and another county joining. Strobel said not every county in Region 13 participates; some are pursuing separate radio solutions.

Commissioners approved the resolution to secure the eight‑year cybersecurity services and system upgrades; Strobel said the agreement will carry service commitments through Dec. 31, 2033.","Lawrence County approved a change order to a shared regional radio system contract to install a new cybersecurity platform; the $2,051,840 cost will be split across participating counties over eight years and funded primarily from state sources, county officials said.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6255920,"Lawrence County approves four contract amendments for mental‑health providers totaling $100,000 in added spending",365,483000,848000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3161374-e27663738d1ad99109206074bfcd7b96&start=483&end=848","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3161374-e27663738d1ad99109206074bfcd7b96/thumbnail_483000.jpg","/articles/6255920/Lawrence-County/Pennsylvania/Lawrence-County-approves-four-contract-amendments-for-mentalhealth-providers-totaling-100000-in-added-spending","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6255920-46484f601466d2927f00290a1f2fe89c/orig.mp4?Expires=1775124449&Signature=gi0Sol0hO~QM0tjUIoB88PmeUlm3gz6yntXvSGMHJZ0h7D4KKQZk~DEeTqOn6MF3dqnpQ8bc6bOn9g5xx-qsIP3MOOZMur~h72ddXX6ihPRGd7r9WynYr~JFuSqhAahtpZX8JxR7UxEY74uGQB1L9A9aW4NmrvmJM4yVO4h8H7whXbkdDwQgzG7VSrF-6c006ASvjgrJwdMic0RyqD8mrEkh0d7ABsq1OOewvGzdrxYfY0I3yJYIpJesNpvu5Ssz0S4zmB6s17vq8oHtWKectklhuirqKOTJQ5NYClkeS520BSIdGmi50TTSDjasDqgR1So26IIN4CBwremamGcR0g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lawrence County commissioners on April 29 approved four amendments to existing contracts with local mental‑health and developmental services providers to reallocate underspent fiscal‑year dollars to provider operating needs. The board approved increases to contracts for Patch’s Place, Northview Estates, the Children’s Advocacy Center and Cyclomet Associates.

Scott Baldwin, director of Lawrence County Mental Health and Developmental Services, told the board the contracts run for the county’s current fiscal year, July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, and the department sought to reinvest dollars that had not been spent into its providers. \"As we get towards the end of our fiscal year, and we have dollars that haven't been spent, we'd like to reallocate those and reinvest them into our providers,\" Baldwin said.

Patch’s Place: Baldwin said Patch’s Place needs furniture replacements and help covering food and supply costs. The board approved increasing the Patch’s Place contract from $537,100 by $50,000 to $587,100. Baldwin said the vast majority of the funds for the increase are human‑services block grant dollars that come from state and federal sources.

Northview Estates: Commissioners approved a $10,000 increase for Northview Estates, a personal‑care home in New Castle, raising its contract from $50,000 to $60,000. Baldwin said the increase was needed after a nearby personal‑care home closed and additional residents were relocated to Northview.

Children’s Advocacy Center: The board approved boosting the center’s contract from $70,000 to $95,000 to cover training costs and higher‑than‑anticipated service demand. Baldwin said some of the center’s grant requests were not approved and the county increase helps maintain their operations.

Cyclomet Associates: The county approved increasing the contract for Cyclomet Associates, whose medical director provides trainings and jail evaluations, from $125,000 to $140,000 to cover additional trainings and services through June.

Commissioner Dan moved to approve all four resolutions as a package; the motion was seconded and passed on a roll call. Commissioner Kennedy and Commissioner Belvoir recorded \"Yes\" votes in the roll call that closed the item and the chair declared the motion carried.

The department and commissioners emphasized that the increases use existing state and federal human‑services block grant funds and will not add costs to the county general fund. Baldwin described the changes as reallocations of current fiscal‑year funding rather than new appropriations.

The board handled the four contract amendments (resolutions 85–88) together and approved them by roll call.","The Board approved four amendments to current fiscal‑year contracts for local mental‑health and developmental services providers, reallocating underspent state and federal human‑services block grant funds to provider operating needs.","actionData","errors"]
