Greene County Commissioners on Jan. 9, 2025 approved a series of routine administrative items: an amendment to a PennDOT reimbursement agreement for bridges 73 and 75, vendor proposals for an on‑site and mobile ATM, multiple change orders for ongoing courthouse building work, participation in the state CoStars road‑salt purchasing program, and several intergovernmental and vendor contracts.
The board approved an amendment to reimbursement agreement R20120004‑5 with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation for Bridges 73 and 75, making the agreement 100% reimbursable from federal funds and designating Jeff Marshall, the county chief clerk, as the signatory on related bridge documents.
Other approvals included a proposal from Bright Idea Vending LLC to install a stationary ATM in the courthouse and provide mobile ATMs for county events (effective Dec. 20, 2024); change order No. 5 from Westmoreland Electric Services for emergency egress lighting in the Sylvia’s Building for $2,665.29; Waller Corporation change order No. 7 for an extra handrail for third‑floor elevator access for $731; and change order No. 8 from Waller Corporation granting a 60‑calendar‑day time extension at no additional cost. Meeting materials and the motion language as read into the record showed those amounts and the time extension was approved by the project engineer and architect.
The commissioners approved a time extension for a Fish and Boat Commission agreement (listed as agreement 21‑02 in the meeting) for the Wise Carver project; the agreement was extended through Dec. 31, 2025 and recorded as effective Dec. 20, 2024.
The board also voted to participate in the Pennsylvania Department of General Services CoStars program for sodium chloride (road salt) for the 2025–26 winter season (August 2025 through July 2026) and authorized the purchase of 170 tons through that program, designating the chief clerk as signatory. The commissioners approved an updated tax abatement application as requested by the tax abatement board and approved an intergovernmental agreement for intrusion detection services with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, also designating the chief clerk as signatory.
Payroll and veteran assistance items were approved: allocations for burial expenses ($75 each) and $100 for headstones for two identified army service members, and an allocation of $75 for widow burial expenses for three identified persons (amounts and recipient identities were listed in county paperwork shown at the meeting). The board approved the 2024–25 Medical Assistance Transportation Program participation grant agreement and assurance of compliance, and a mental‑health contract with Blueprints for independent living services covering Aug. 31 through Dec. 31, 2024, not to exceed $20,000 and paid through the Systems of Care grant.
Other routine business included a lease renewal for Magisterial District 13‑3‑03, renewal of a telephone maintenance agreement with Advanced Communications for $532, and approval of a safety‑support proposal from Summit Radiation Safety Services LLC for the Greene County prison body scanner. The transcript records two different amounts for the Summit contract ($1,835 and $1,875); the meeting record is inconsistent on that point, so the precise dollar amount was not confirmed in the meeting audio. Planning business included appointing Mary Bogut to the Planning Commission for a four‑year term effective Jan. 1, 2025, and approving a scope‑of‑work amendment for the Green River Trail extension project.
Following the commissioners’ meeting, the county’s sinking fund board convened and reported the sinking fund is in good shape; the board noted the county’s remaining debt related to the sinking fund will expire in 2028.
All listed motions were moved, seconded, and approved by voice vote in the meeting audio; no roll‑call tallies or opposing votes were recorded in the audio provided.
