The Jefferson County Commissioners convened on September 23, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including financial approvals, community initiatives, and public safety measures.

The meeting commenced with a motion to approve the minutes from the previous meeting, which was seconded and passed without discussion. Following this, the commissioners reviewed and approved invoices totaling $167,929.95 for the period from September 6 to September 18, 2025. A roll call confirmed unanimous approval.

Next, the commissioners moved to approve payroll amounting to $329,020.24 for the same period, which also received unanimous support after a motion and second were made.

A significant item on the agenda was the adoption of Resolution 2025-08, which appoints a Section 504 officer and establishes compliance procedures for the federal fiscal year 2025. This resolution is essential for the county to remain eligible for Community Development Block Grant funding. The motion passed with no opposition.

The commissioners then recognized September 2025 as Action Month in Jefferson County, encouraging community involvement with local food banks in Brookville and Punxsutawney. They urged residents to consider volunteering or donating to these organizations, emphasizing the importance of community support during this time.

The meeting continued with the adoption of scheduled holidays for 2026, which was also passed unanimously.

Lastly, the commissioners addressed public safety by considering Resolution 2025-009, which imposes a 30-day ban on outdoor burning in Jefferson County, effective September 25 at noon. This decision was influenced by recent rainfall, which had reduced fire risks.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the commissioners' commitment to fiscal responsibility, community engagement, and public safety, with all motions passing smoothly and no significant opposition noted.
