Lycoming County commissioners on May 8 ratified routine financial reports and approved multiple contracts and grants spanning county operations, public works and planning.

County staff presented a cash‑requirements report for payment on May 7 totaling $901,156.32 with fund breakdowns listed in the meeting record; commissioners ratified the report. The county also approved a separate credit‑card purchases report totaling $3,183.72 for the period March 27–April 24, 2025.

Staff reported six bids for the 2025 emergency watershed protection projects. Bids listed in the meeting record included Aquatic Resource Restoration Company at $402,000; Kuz Excavating at $689,305; EGR Excavating at $1,902,760; Lehigh O'Hallbaker at $2,416,750; Mitchell Moor Contracting at $2,360,210; and Smith Excavating at $834,998.21. A staff presenter noted some projects will be awarded as packages while others may be individual contracts, which helps explain the spread in bid amounts.

The commissioners accepted a Juvenile Court Judges' Commission (JCJC) daycare grant award notification for $242,417 to offset juvenile probation operating costs and approved a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program contract for $590,736. The board also approved a no‑cost agreement with Sapphire Health to provide services to the county prison.

County IT staff requested and received approval to sign a contract for a redesigned county website to meet ADA accessibility standards; the contract amount of $36,500 was included in the 2025 budget. Planning staff presented 16 cover‑crop contracts funded through cap money administered by the planning commission; staff said 14 of the 16 contracts were signed and ready to proceed and that contract amounts vary by acres planted.

Other routine contract adjustments approved included a change order for the coroner's building switching an electric dryer to a natural‑gas dryer at no additional cost, and a swap of a foot‑operated faucet in the autopsy room to improve sanitary operation. The board also approved an extension of an agreement with the Lycoming‑Clinton fair program to April 2026 because of delays during the 2022–23 program year, and approved appointments to the Law Enforcement Coordinating Committee (LECC).

A planning official asked commissioners about the juvenile holding facility; the commissioners said options are under review and that the county is assessing cost and feasibility but has not adopted a plan.

All presented items were moved and approved during the meeting; roll‑call votes were recorded as “aye” in the meeting record for the listed approvals.
