Blair County approves $8,465.50 payment to Hollidaysburg Borough for parking-garage permitting fees
Summary
The county approved an $8,465.50 invoice from the Borough of Hollidaysburg to cover permitting fees for the Blair County parking garage; staff said the fee is a borough pass-through and not a county-controlled discountable cost. A commissioner abstained from voting on this payment.
Blair County commissioners approved payment of an $8,465.50 invoice from the Borough of Hollidaysburg to cover permitting fees tied to the Blair County parking garage.
During discussion a commissioner asked whether Hollidaysburg could offer a break on the permitting fee. Staff replied the fee is a pass-through and the borough does not have discretion to reduce it, explaining the county does not directly control the underlying permit charges. The motion to pay the invoice was made, seconded and approved by voice; at least one commissioner recorded an abstention citing potential conflict or for the sake of record.
The transcript does not provide additional detail about the permit fee breakdown or the vendor(s) assessed the charges; those details are available in the borough’s billing and county procurement backup.
