Lebanon County commissioners took several administrative actions, approving reappointments, farm leases, reimbursements for county celebration activities and a proclamation honoring a resident’s 100th birthday.
The board reappointed Ed Ansbach, Paul Brogan and Franklin Shearer to the Lebanon Transit Authority for terms to Jan. 30, 2028; all three had been seeking reappointment. A motion to reappoint the group passed unanimously.
The board approved two annual farm leases for county-owned tillable land: a one‑acre lease adjacent to a farmland holder on Route 934 in South Annville (the county record in discussion referenced both $450 and later a motion stating $150; the transcript contains inconsistent figures — see clarifying_details) and a lease for about 8–9 acres between the armory and the Career & Tech Center on South Side of Route 422 for $1,200 for 2025. Both leases were approved by motion and second.
Commissioners approved two reimbursements connected to the Lebanon250 celebration: $65.88 to an individual (Jody Ames) for parade costs and $2,029.89 to a vendor (listed as FORCE PKG in the record) for promotional materials and float expenses. The board approved the reimbursements from budgeted funds.
Finally, the board adopted a proclamation recognizing Grace Bowman Hershock for her 100th birthday (born Feb. 5, 1925); the proclamation noted biographical details and scheduled a celebration. The proclamation was adopted by voice vote.
