Contracts and equipment: the board approved a professional services contract with GPI Scranton for 2024–25 dam inspections covering Martins Creek Dam, Brooklyn Run Dam and Thomas Creek Dam, effective Nov. 12, 2025. It also approved purchase of two hazmat decontamination shower systems from Western Shelter (Springfield, Oregon) for a total of $24,005.20 and authorized purchase of two mounted cameras and related software and installation from Advanced Communications (price in the meeting record appears as $86.07 and is flagged for verification). The board also approved purchase of one vehicle (2014 Chevy Silverado) awarded for $41,200.
Appointments and personnel: commissioners appointed Kurt Hepler, Ryan Seiverkuhle and Commissioner Dave Darrow to the Susquehanna County Conservation District (vote record shows one abstention). The board opened and closed the salary board and approved elimination of several positions — including two full‑time dining positions (second deputy/proprietary clerk of courts), a DA administrative assistant/grant coordinator, a fiscal assistant (grant reporting) position, and a fiscal office manager — with effective dates for some eliminations recorded as Nov. 12, 2025.
All procurement and personnel motions were approved by voice vote as recorded in the meeting minutes. Several line‑item dollar amounts and a vendor price readout should be checked against official purchase orders for precise totals.
