Summary
At a brief Lycoming County commissioners public meeting, the board approved the 2026 salary schedule/Table of Distribution and Authorization (TDA), added an assistant public defender position and multiple temporary, part-time positions to the TDA, and noted a returning retiree will train a replacement.
Lycoming County commissioners approved the county’s 2026 salary schedule and several personnel additions during a short administrative session called to order at 10:30 a.m.
The board voted to approve the salary board minutes from Dec. 18, 2025, and to adopt the 2026 numbers and compensation as the county’s salary schedule, a measure Speaker 3 summarized as the “table of distribution and authorization” for 2026. Speaker 3 said, “Vote to approve the 2026 numbers and compensation,” and the board recorded the approval by voice vote.
The meeting also added several positions to the county’s TDA. Speaker 3 moved to add an assistant public defender position (union) to the TDA, saying the change would “save on contract pricing as well,” and the motion passed. The board approved an additional temporary, part-time administrative specialist for the Department of Public Safety at pay grade 6; in discussion, Jen said the role will fill a recently retired full-time position and that the retiree will return part time “to train her replacement.”
Separately, the board approved adding a temporary, part-time electrician and a temporary, part-time waymaster at RMS, citing retirements as the reason for the hires. Speaker 1 thanked the returning retiree who will assist with training before adjourning the salary board portion of the meeting.
No formal vote tallies or individual yes/no vote records are listed in the meeting transcript; approvals were recorded by voice as “aye.” The commissioners reconvened the public meeting and set their next public session for Thursday, Jan. 8, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.
The session was largely administrative and focused on personnel and staffing authorizations; there were no reported public comments or contested items on the record.
