The Mifflin County Board of Commissioners approved a series of routine motions during its October meeting, including payment of bills, an amendment to the agriculture extension office lease, multiple board appointments and a two‑year employee vision plan renewal with BBA.

The board voted by voice on the approval of minutes from Oct. 16 and then moved to pay the bills presented. The chair noted the county has continued to pay its obligations on time despite delays in reimbursement from state and federal partners. Treasurer Diane reported a general account ending balance of $677,317.42 and a reserve account balance of $9,625,878.05.

The board approved several discrete items by voice vote:

- Approval of the exoneration of the 2025 county portion of the per‑capita tax for Juniata Terrace Institute (motion approved by voice vote).

- Approval of a liquid fuels allocation request from Wayne Township in the amount of $4,919 to purchase salt for winter use (motion approved by voice vote).

- Approval of an amendment to the lease with Lewistown Corporation that keeps the agriculture extension office in its current space through the end of 2026; the amended monthly rent is $3,695.11, a 3% increase over 2025 (motion approved by voice vote).

- Reappointment of Stephanie Fultz to the Community Animal Behavioral Services Citizens Advisory Board for a three‑year term (motion approved by voice vote).

- Appointment and reappointments of four individuals to the library board for three‑year terms; names were recorded in the meeting minutes and the motion carried by voice vote.

- Approval of an employee vision plan renewal with BBA covering 01/01/2026–12/31/2027; the presentation said commissions will increase but there were no new charges for enrollees, and the motion carried by voice vote.

Each of the above items was announced, motioned and approved by voice during the meeting. No roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript; outcomes are noted as approved where the minutes record an ‘‘aye’’ vote.
