Children & Youth staff presented agreements with multiple providers: Centre County Children's Advocacy Center (forensic interviews at $450 per interview); Evolution Counseling Services LLC of Altoona (crisis intervention, $95'$175 per hour); Attorney Robert Cabell (Guardian ad Litem services, $85 per hour); Baxter & Kapon (legal services, $85 per hour); Megan Hopkins (Guardian ad Litem, $85 per hour); Mark Remy (Guardian ad Litem, $85 per hour); Wardell & Associates (family reunification, preservation and independent living services, $67.25'$92.05 per hour). Staff noted that the county is passing through grants administered by the Tuscarora Intermediate Unit in Lewistown: one grant for the Mifflin County Communities That Care program at $146,320 per fiscal year and a separate case management/life-skills program with rates from $93 per hour and a not-to-exceed amount of $734,341 per fiscal year.

\"The grants were basically, we're just passing through those grants,\" a commissioner said during the discussion; Children & Youth staff confirmed that providers submit bills to the county office for administration.

Motion to approve the purchase-of-service agreements and grant pass-throughs was moved and seconded; commissioners voted in favor by voice vote.

Why it matters: the agreements fund direct services for at-risk children and families, including forensic interviewing, crisis intervention and legal representation in dependency proceedings.

Staff said some of the existing water meters are about 20 years old and are difficult to access because they are located in basements. The project would move meters to the public right of way so readings and maintenance would be easier.

\"This project is just to place the meters in the public right of way,\" a county utilities staff member said. Staff reported the original application identified 84 meter locations but a recent resurvey found 83 meters to be replaced and some locations will change.

Staff gave a project cost estimate of $338,600 and said there is approximately $13,000 that still needs to be obtained to fully fund the work. The project is structured as a multi-year recipient agreement; according to staff, construction had not started as of the meeting.

No formal approval was recorded in the meeting transcript for this project; staff presented the scope, estimated cost and the funding gap and answered commissioners' clarifying questions.","County staff described a multi-year project to relocate aging water meters in the former Methodist Campground/Sugar's Hill Circle area of Newtonborough to the public right of way for easier access.

The survey covered topics including parks and recreation, natural resources, safety in residents' homes, blight and redevelopment, and transportation and wayfinding for state parks and game lands. Planning staff said 17 goals and objectives have been identified for the draft plan.

\"The community survey resulted in approximately 778 responses,\" a county planning staff member said. Staff said about 14 to 15 people attended an open house the previous evening to review draft elements and discuss projects near their homes.

Why it matters: the comprehensive plan will guide county policy for roughly the next decade. Commissioners were told a draft plan will be delivered to them before the planning commission public hearing so commissioners can comment ahead of a likely fall adoption.

Commissioners and staff emphasized blight and neighborhood conditions as a leading area for action; staff said the county is already engaging in creating a redevelopment authority. The planning staff recommended public participation when the draft is released and outlined the planned schedule: planning commission public hearing in August and formal board adoption in September or October, pending staff and commission review.

No formal vote on the plan occurred at the meeting; staff presented progress and the schedule for the next steps.","Planning staff told Mifflin County commissioners that the county'wide comprehensive plan survey drew about 778 responses, flagged blight and redevelopment as top concerns and that a planning commission public hearing will be held in August with final adoption expected this fall.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6514413,"Mifflin County approves bills; treasurer reports general fund balance of $977,883.31 and capital reserve $14.85 million",177,186000,363000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5030924-73fbf68ae29f8e2c32ee71655a124629&start=186&end=363","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5030924-73fbf68ae29f8e2c32ee71655a124629/thumbnail_186000.jpg","/articles/6514413/Mifflin-County/Pennsylvania/Mifflin-County-approves-bills-treasurer-reports-general-fund-balance-of-97788331-and-capital-reserve-1485-million","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6514413-589e50ea2927fec1d7f5c834d4d1a2d4/orig.mp4?Expires=1775478710&Signature=hJoH4BzfM8~8LQmEADrxF8alQmSQaVXs-zNib2yWqNOWLGz70U2tuOx4p6xKhXysaV469lKEzoJ0NQGY48JoKZ3p-8Pb2c8b2ufnrCrkZZmpXw3m8XMPlpFcq5e717Rw9-O3GLD2aDAm9EJZySw-TrAqAf2Wi9NMjETqOtAuGRD2yeJLbnWxBsA1gZaX03ngT1Lxc9ETFyRFYktfebiHx3hHjC1t4Srd7CSCvH30~MbHhKcpH~45x4vHOXoRVSmorEYONYOhZFJAHquPFJulImDwaCnu3BM2db8GvATNspJu4yh7qhgyexSVQFPTwj5IeB-IcMT0ddIDepybCmqwDQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Mifflin County Board of Commissioners approved the payment of the bills presented and received the treasurer's financial report for the reporting period cited at the June 17 meeting.

The treasurer read reported amounts: accounts payable $1,192,961.55; payroll $380,246.08; 911 fund $15,438.53; LEPC $44.69; Act 137 $3,500; and CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) amounts read during the roll call. Commissioners moved, seconded and approved payment of the reported bills by voice vote.

The treasurer's report covered the period June 4 through June 17. Staff said the general account starting balance was $1,179,336.67; total receipts (debits) for the period were $1,371,754.27 and disbursements (credits) were $1,573,207.63, leaving an ending balance of $977,883.31 on June 17. The capital reserve account balance was reported as $14,846,041.30.

The board also approved an unspecified contract item earlier in the meeting by voice vote; the transcript records a motion and affirmative voice vote but provides minimal detail about the contract in that segment.

Why it matters: the report provides an up-to-date county cash position and the board's formal approval of accounts payable and payroll for the period.

The meeting record does not show detailed roll-call vote tallies for the bill approvals; approvals were recorded by voice vote.","The Board approved accounts payable, payroll and other funds; the treasurer reported a general account ending balance of $977,883.31 for the period ending June 17 and a capital reserve balance of $14,846,041.30.",{"_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},6514416,"Commissioners approve exoneration of 2025 county portion of capital taxes for multiple townships",56,565000,621000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5030924-73fbf68ae29f8e2c32ee71655a124629&start=565&end=621","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5030924-73fbf68ae29f8e2c32ee71655a124629/thumbnail_565000.jpg","/articles/6514416/Mifflin-County/Pennsylvania/Commissioners-approve-exoneration-of-2025-county-portion-of-capital-taxes-for-multiple-townships","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6514416-a256c9dc93711fc8bdde44223ed2c011/orig.mp4?Expires=1775478710&Signature=oi7leZn~4aYgrJ-1ht1oqdbVqSdVMvAIivIlNsY8QtLWdJdGcyD3XTJPWaE1qTB05XOe-IJS0ZZi15pTgi8xqp~H1HPKZWStt0LnljVoWXtBABMZprk88c~qlRhLR06uaoiKYdJaltAVb9MlANJwip30rKwIvRkS1YEQTRUy4uiPovimeFN4jDzQ1NdreLBfxrjSVnW5TdxNZpmPzJvaf6DsXdny5jdisriucHqXjl83z3ij4MkUG4MXfU4dCXmxiettq~UlyJUYW8DhYMpBweQ9XqZ9j3CDMfoj0H4Oc00~AkwFjfVLs~JcUId9N1vZDGTD6I0~X4ij5xEtU1b7Ew__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Mifflin County Board of Commissioners voted to exonerate the county portion of certain 2025 capital taxes for a list of townships and boroughs at the June 17 meeting.

Why it matters: exonerations remove the county portion of capital tax assessments for identified parcels or jurisdictions; the transcript records the jurisdictions and counts read aloud but does not provide additional detail about reasons for exoneration for each entry.

The board did not elaborate in the meeting record on follow-up actions beyond approving the motion.","The Mifflin County Board voted to exonerate (cancel) the county portion of certain 2025 capital taxes for multiple townships and boroughs after staff presented parcel counts by jurisdiction; the motion carried by voice vote.","actionData","errors"]
