During the session the Mifflin County commissioners approved a series of routine contracts, grant applications and administrative corrections that the board said would keep county operations and grant cycles on schedule.

Notable approvals and motions included:

- A laboratory services contract with Geisinger LewisTown Hospital to continue providing lab testing for the county correctional facility; staff said services are unchanged and the contract formalizes ongoing work.

- Renewal of the Vine/VA7 victim-notification service and annual jail-management support contract, with staff encouraging victims and concerned citizens to register for notifications.

- Authorization to proceed with design and site-work contracts for a learning-center project and a $282,750 phase-2 exterior restoration contract for the historic courthouse, funded through the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program with a county match.

- Certification of county funds for the 2026 farmland preservation program: county contribution $37,500 plus supplemental "Clean Green" funds for a total of $52,803; commissioners approved certification.

- A request from Vernon Borough to amend the repayment terms of a $300,000 subrecipient loan for wastewater headworks improvements; the borough asked to split repayment, and commissioners agreed to accept $150,000 by Jan. 31, 2026 and extend the remaining balance to June 30, 2026 for further consideration.

- Selection process completed for a five-year county engineer contract as required by PennDOT regulations; staff presented rankings with Keller Engineers recommended highest and proposed moving forward to contract negotiations.

- Resolution No. 112025 fixing the 2026 county millage at 15.77 mills and setting a $5 per capita collection; commissioners stated there would be no county tax increase for 2026 and approved the resolution by voice vote.

Most items were routine, debated briefly or not at all, and were carried by voice votes recorded in the meeting. Several grant-related motions (intermediate punishment grant, state food purchase program funds) and subrecipient CDBG agreements for lockwork and stormwater improvements were moved and approved.

The board also corrected a previous exoneration motion (reducing a listed count from 76 to 10) and made several minor personnel and appointment announcements.

Votes at a glance (as recorded in the transcript): all listed motions were approved by voice vote during this meeting; the transcript records "aye" responses but does not provide roll-call tallies.

The meeting concluded with routine personnel items and scheduling notes for January meetings.
