The Lebanon County Commissioners on a voice vote approved a series of routine and contract items, including minutes, the treasury report, personnel actions, and multiple contracting and grant-related items.

The board approved minutes from the Jan. 16 executive session and accepted the treasurer’s report, which showed cash receipts and expenditures that reduced the county's working cash balance. Commissioners then approved a package of personnel transactions: terminations, resignations, leaves of absence, reclassifications, promotions and new hires across departments including emergency services, children and youth, the sheriff’s office and court-related offices.

Commissioners also approved contract actions presented during the meeting: signature authority for the ZipGram security system phase approvals for the Lebanon County Correctional Facility, a Johnson Controls service agreement for equipment maintenance, an extension for a financial system lease (DDI Capital), an upgrade to the county retirement software (LRS PensionGold), TeleSoft online payment services for the Prothonotary, and a county infrastructure lease to upgrade base network equipment and professional services. The board granted a lease renewal with the Borough of Cleona for space used by the magisterial district judge. A resolution authorizing the chair to sign future master planning agreements and unified planning work programs with PennDOT through the county MPO was also approved.

Other actions approved included reappointments to the Lebanon County Children & Youth Advisory Board, removal of a member from the Drug & Alcohol Commission advisory board for failure to meet attendance requirements, acceptance of a resignation from the Lebanon County America 250 committee with regret, a letter of support for the Lebanon Rescue Mission expansion, five real estate exemptions for disabled veterans under the county program, a $5,000 hotel-tax grant request for the Lancaster Kennel Club’s May show, and a proclamation recognizing Scout Week at the county mall.

Votes were recorded by voice and were unanimous where stated. Where motions or precise vote tallies were not read aloud for the record, the meeting transcript records the board saying “aye” and indicating approval. Several agenda items were handled with brief staff presentations and limited discussion before unanimous approval.

The board adjourned after taking the actions above and scheduling remaining agenda items for later in the day.
