Blair County Commissioners on Thursday approved multiple routine and operational items, including ratification of payroll and warrants, a tentative labor agreement, a juvenile probation agreement with a local school district, acceptance of a $5,000 wellness grant and a purchase of survey software.
The meeting record shows the board approved Resolution number 320 20 25 on the consent agenda, which included ratification of the warrant list and approval of payroll dated June 27, 2025. Meeting text gives the payroll total as $928,178. A commissioner raised a question about a late fee on the warrant list and asked that that single fee be pulled for further inquiry; the board amended the motion to approve the consent agenda except for that fee and approved the amended motion.
Staff requested approval to pay an invoice received outside county purchasing policy for SurveyMonkey for a subscription covering 06/01/2025 through 05/31/2026. The amount read into the record is transcribed as "$4.96 $0.08," which appears to be a transcription error; the meeting record does not otherwise clarify the dollar amount. Commissioners approved the purchase as presented.
The board approved a tentative agreement letter presented for certain bargaining units, described in the meeting as an agreement between "Kennedy of Blair" and the UMWA courts and residual bargaining units, authorizing execution of payroll and benefit changes retroactive to Jan. 4, 2025.
Commissioners also approved a student assistance program agreement between Blair County (on behalf of the juvenile probation office) and the Hollidaysburg Area School District for the period Aug. 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.
On behalf of the employee wellness committee, commissioners accepted the 2025 PCOMP wellness improvement grant in the amount of $5,000.
Each item was moved, seconded and approved during the July 3 session; the meeting record shows routine votes with no recorded opposition on the items summarized above.
