Summary

The board approved submittal and contract actions for the state food purchase program, and MH/ID contract amendments that add $1,358,181.63 to the Connections crisis program (using earned interest) and reduce unused PCCRC funding in the Advocacy Alliance contract.

The Cumberland County Board of Commissioners approved contract and grant actions for aging and community services and amendments to mental-health/IDD (MH/ID) contracts.

Kim Whitten told the board the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture State Food Purchase Program provides funds for county food pantries and that the county has a contractual relationship with Central Pennsylvania Food Bank; commissioners approved the submittal of the program narrative and related contract arrangements.

Miranda Melton presented two MH/ID contract amendments: an increase of $1,358,181.63 to Connections, the regional crisis program, funded by interest accumulated on eligible funding streams (the amount was stated precisely on the record), and a reduction to the Advocacy Alliance contract to remove PCCRC funding that has not been used. Commissioners moved and approved both amendments.

The board asked no follow-up questions on the food program items and approved the requested actions.
