The Clinton County Board of Commissioners on Nov. 13 approved a package of resolutions, grant applications, routine contract renewals, board appointments and personnel actions.
Grants and resolutions: the board adopted Resolution No. 23 (2025) to request a Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission statewide public access grant of $42,065 for a feasibility study of the Clinton County Fish and Paddle Passage Project. The board also authorized submission of a PHFA FAIR 2526 application on behalf of the Clinton County Housing Coalition for a Returning Citizens Family Program project and directed the planning department to execute the application and subrecipient monitoring agreements with two partner agencies; the PHFA section of the record cites $32,000 in the application and references use of Marcellus Shale and a $277,000 realty transfer tax funding component. Commissioners further approved Resolution No. 25 (2025) requesting $585,781.16 from the Commonwealth Finance Authority local share account for Bald Eagle Valley Trail phase 3 construction; each resolution was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Contracts and routine approvals: the board approved an agreement with CDR Maguire Engineering for final plans for Bald Eagle Valley Trail phase 6, a Lumber Heritage Regional Mini Grant Award agreement for trail signage with a minimum $5,000 match, and a series of IT renewals and service proposals: a one-year monday.com subscription for $1,140, a one-year BeyondTrust maintenance agreement effective 01/01/2026 for $2,506.22, and a Cisco Smart Net renewal from Moorefield Communication for $7,770.48.
Appointments and personnel: the board confirmed the appointment of David Grimm to the Clinton County Sewer Authority for a term through 12/31/2028 and appointed Sierra Duell to the Annie Hallam Bake Ross Library board for a term through 12/31/2028 (transcript spelling shown as "Annie Hallam Bake Ross Library"). The salary board approved a title change in the IT department (IT trainer/help-desk support to IT Operations Analyst effective 11/10/2025) and the commissioners approved promotion of Linda Butler to IT Operations Analyst (recorded salary reference: $2,805.85, presented in the transcript in payroll-format context). The board also approved hiring Zane Probst as a juvenile probation officer effective 11/17/2025 at an annual salary of $40,518.
Finance and next steps: the commissioners approved county bills totaling $511,615.11 for the two-week period ending Nov. 12, 2025, and net payroll of $321,210.80 for the two-week period ending Nov. 7, 2025. Most approvals had brief presentation and unanimous voice approval; no contested votes or amendments were recorded in the transcript.
Why it matters: the grants and local-share request advance recreational and housing projects in Clinton County; the personnel and contract approvals maintain county operations.
The board adjourned after scheduling the next regular meeting for Dec. 4.
