An electricity procurement consultant briefed the board on the auction process and results. The consultant said the office ran initial bids across multiple terms, narrowed focus to 36‑ and 48‑month terms, and added a 42‑month option that produced the lowest price in the final round. “That recommendation being, the 42 month, 1, because it's the lowest price,” the presenter told commissioners.

The consultant said the recommended contract start aligns with a July metering date and that Constellation, the county’s incumbent supplier, offered advantages in paperwork and continuity; Constellation also indicated it would consider waiving a June capacity-related charge (about $2,400) outside the formal bidding process. The presenter noted the waiver was not guaranteed and that it was outside the formal apples-to-apples bidding comparison.

Commissioners moved to amend the agenda to add the award item (agenda item 25-3-11) and then voted to accept the 42‑month proposal from Constellation New Energy at 0.09723/kWh. The board instructed staff to finalize contract language and prepare an e-signature–ready agreement; staff said the contract paperwork would be updated and available for e-signature within the next 20–30 minutes.

The award follows a market-sensitive process described by the presenter, who cited participation from multiple suppliers and short-term market factors such as natural-gas storage reports that influenced bids. The county will execute the contract and proceed with supplier onboarding; the agreement was described as a supply contract for electricity service, not an amendment to transmission or distribution utility responsibilities.","Following an online procurement auction, the commissioners authorized a 42-month electricity supply agreement with Constellation New Energy at 0.09723 per kilowatt-hour; the contract is expected to begin with the July metering date and be executed electronically.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6533595,"Carbon County adopts comprehensive plan and Greenways, Trails and Open Space Plan",520,720000,1240000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3702995-9c7132dbb8b81d19d518637ddc4e2dee&start=720&end=1240","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3702995-9c7132dbb8b81d19d518637ddc4e2dee/thumbnail_720000.jpg","/articles/6533595/Carbon-County/Pennsylvania/Carbon-County-adopts-comprehensive-plan-and-Greenways-Trails-and-Open-Space-Plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533595-efcab63efcd3edcf585d539c0a8a8745/orig.mp4?Expires=1775820771&Signature=kzyQxKrV6Cjs9yZ6GKfIa0s9pTGzhhDZr4tYdhmKQhr6VThH9KRMPO~7719~wQts226AgqGPGAffrMB3~CKoFqhqO5seDLulGjM4d0vRf7JyQM1Z0o-eLmfQZfbTXedxmdEkp6ohz8yEm6jS5Kof-aJppzAwBTjTo5iA-rtf1fk3Yqxdwedbg0EPDjWhjH~ItEMmNaV276Kj1gH8MmbCP-E4sQJL-K7nDA4gkkKrU6lJvSfnXbxEY0UE3RBLQJgiEiw-5h4nzAUzD6PqJAmg6-fUUGRvcNFK2QNl2MtgOTbV~W2E43isAhLoVNEYGPd12rjD9k83AvIPlq10Zu08gQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carbon County Board of Commissioners voted on June 5 to adopt the county Comprehensive Plan and the Greenways, Trails and Open Space Plan after a 16-month public-engagement and drafting process led by consultant Tim Staub.

Tim Staub, the project manager for the plan development, told the board the work began in January 2024 and followed discovery, outreach, envisioning and implementation-planning phases. “This process started back in January 24. It was a 16 month process, and, hey. We’re right on schedule,” Staub said during his presentation.

Staub summarized several findings that shaped the plans: differing housing demands across geographies within the county; loss of some housing stock due to second-home purchases; rising childcare costs and strain on childcare access; and a strong outdoor-recreation asset base that supports quality-of-life and tourism. He said the comprehensive plan organizes goals under four themes — housing, outdoor economy, infrastructure and placemaking — and that both plans include implementation tables, suggested lead organizations and grant opportunities to help move priorities forward.

Staub reported the documents were advertised and posted on the county website as required by the Municipalities Planning Code and that the county planning commission had reviewed them. He said adjoining counties and local municipalities received copies for review; the project team will follow up on comments, including suggested edits related to volunteer fire companies.

The board approved two adoption motions (agenda item 25-261). The meeting record shows the motions carried with the commissioners voting yes.

The plans include implementation guidance, grant lists and a timeline of priorities; they do not themselves change budgets or require immediate county appropriations. Staub and staff indicated next steps will focus on grant-seeking and coordinating county and municipal leads for high-priority projects.","After a 16-month process and outreach, the Board of Commissioners adopted the county comprehensive plan and a Greenways/Trails/Open Space plan; consultant Tim Staub presented findings and implementation guidance.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6533597,"Carbon County commissioners proclaim June 9–13, 2025 as Child Welfare Professionals Appreciation Week",404,292000,696000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3702995-9c7132dbb8b81d19d518637ddc4e2dee&start=292&end=696","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3702995-9c7132dbb8b81d19d518637ddc4e2dee/thumbnail_292000.jpg","/articles/6533597/Carbon-County/Pennsylvania/Carbon-County-commissioners-proclaim-June-913-2025-as-Child-Welfare-Professionals-Appreciation-Week","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533597-68fbfaa2f07d0bb4c32e45d38a4145d2/orig.mp4?Expires=1775820771&Signature=jz6IadhUPM~-BjjxR0dRQzuJI7dUo5KV9EmbcWCVqAVlQo5Xa5j8fZbgmMlfXhYw42shgiEoWxrcOE-AyCpBJ63lxx2OeqewzV0roEqNI~dN4ICAHOKNDJAk6gG61u5QL5X81ZI-kCEW5oT5nnRmtpy97AEu000Dt~IvrHYLAeut0oe9VK5Ou3YQBbcrUeejX9JoMs7E9zwtAF6x0ADyiycc~aEu2QX-IEcWDN3zmXKtHg3SpJIy6DXPNxev7q-6TFJvW1fTpLh32ntn4HO4OXASuKxGLtxOt5iP7ouYeKAx~s9DRbtNfbzvaoAVZjoGVkGD1BwBr6SunLWedqxyLg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carbon County Board of Commissioners adopted a proclamation on June 5 recognizing June 9–13, 2025, as Carbon County Child Welfare Professionals Appreciation Week, honoring staff in the county Children and Youth Services for their work investigating abuse, supporting families and protecting children.

The proclamation, read into the record during the commissioners’ meeting, said local child-welfare staff “selflessly endeavor to protect Pennsylvania’s children, often with low pay, long hours, tremendous demands, little appreciation, great criticism, and with dramatic impacts to their personal lives.” The board voted to adopt the proclamation during the meeting (agenda item 25-260).

Jill (director of Carbon County Children and Youth Services) spoke to the commissioners by phone from a conference and thanked them for the recognition. “I apologize I can't be there. I am currently at a conference learning more about child welfare laws and regulations. But again, I really appreciate the commissioners taking the time to acknowledge our staff, our 13 caseworkers, ranging from 20 years of service to 4 months of service,” she said.

The proclamation text, read at the meeting, noted the risks child-welfare staff face while conducting investigations in homes and described the breadth of issues staff handle, including physical abuse, neglect, mental-health challenges and substance-use disorders. Commissioners and other speakers thanked caseworkers for their service during the meeting.

The resolution does not change agency duties or funding; it is an official acknowledgement adopted by the board. The proclamation and staff remarks were recorded in the meeting minutes and the board presented the adopted proclamation to County Children and Youth Services for distribution to staff.","The Board of Commissioners adopted a proclamation recognizing Carbon County Children and Youth Services staff and their work protecting children, and the department’s director spoke by phone to thank commissioners and describe staff experience and training.","actionData","errors"]
