Summary
The Chester County Board of Commissioners approved a consent agenda that included multiple contract amendments and HUD Continuum of Care grant awards; approvals were made by voice vote as part of routine business.
The Chester County Board of Commissioners approved the consent agenda and several contract and grant items during its meeting. Approvals were made by a single voice vote on the consent agenda and by subsequent motion and voice vote for specific contracts and grants.
Items approved via the consent agenda or by motion included:
- A contract amendment for the Chester County detectives with Life Technologies Corporation for technical support services in the amount of $7,629.68, term 03/10/2025 through 07/05/2027. - A $5,000 contract with STEM Academy and Homeschool Association for post-prom activities, presented by Jamie Johnson, director of the Department of Drug and Alcohol Services. - A contract for the prison with the Chester County Intermediate Unit for the E3 reentry program for calendar year 2025 (amount $250,000); county staff noted this is paid from commissary funds and that 75 participants have graduated from the program so far. - A no-cost contract amendment with Educational Data Systems to extend the term through March 30, 2026, supporting opioid crisis programming and in-location career and employment services, presented by Jeanette Roman, director of Workforce Development. - Two contract extensions for mental health services at the youth center: Human Services Inc., $42,750 (term extended through June 26, 2026) and Rose Psychiatric Services, $42,750 (term extended through June 30, 2026), presented by Deb Macarelli. - Two U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Continuum of Care grant awards presented by Dolores Colligan, director of Community Development: $119,074 to support the Chester County Coordinated Entry System and $36,958 to support the Safe Haven program (permanent housing serving eight single women with mental health disabilities who have experienced homelessness). - A grant amendment for the Department of Drug and Alcohol Services extending a five-year contract by six months through December 2025 (further contract identifier not specified in the record).
Motions to approve the consent agenda, the listed contracts and the grants were moved and seconded on the record; commissioners voted by voice ("Aye") with no recorded opposition. The record shows the motions passed. Several presenters noted funding sources: the E3 reentry program contract is funded from prison commissary funds; the HUD grants are federal Continuum of Care awards.
