Summary
At their Jan. 27 meeting the commissioners voted to add and later approve multiple consent‑agenda items including a memorandum with PA Care for MAT support at the correctional facility, a planning MOU for Eagle Landing self‑storage, a senior‑center contract for a 'Bingosize' health program priced at $1,735, and social‑services contract actions.
The Centre County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 27 moved multiple departmental agreements to next week's consent agenda and then approved the meeting's consent agenda during the same session.
Glenn, warden of the Centre County Correctional Facility, described a memorandum of understanding with PA Care LLC doing business at State College Medical / Pinnacle Treatment Centers to provide outpatient treatment and to store certain medications used in medications‑assisted treatment (MAT) that cannot legally be stored at the jail. Glenn said the treatment center will bill PrimeCare, which will then bill the county with no upcharge. Commissioner Concepcion moved to add the memorandum to next week's consent agenda; the motion was seconded and carried.
Planning staff presented an MOU for the Eagles Landing self‑storage land‑development plan in Houston Township. Chris (planning) said the 2‑party agreement requires the developer to reimburse the county for engineering review costs for a roughly 4,000‑square‑foot storage building with about 24 units; commissioners moved to add that MOU to next week's consent agenda and the motion carried.
Quentin in the Aging office presented a contract with Exercise Innovations LLC to implement “Bingosize” at senior centers, an evidence‑based physical‑activity and health‑education program. The contract totals $1,735 and covers a two‑year license, three facilitator trainings and game supplies and runs Jan. 27, 2026–Jan. 27, 2028. Quentin's item was moved to the consent agenda and approved.
County social‑services staff presented a letter of agreement with IFC Services Inc. to provide short‑term residential supports for one individual awaiting a waiver and a six‑month addendum to a Cadenza contract to pay for an inpatient stay used in November–December. Those items were added to the consent agenda and approved.
Commissioners also approved a routine check run dated Jan. 23, with staff highlighting a payment to Clear Child Services for early‑intervention services. The consent agenda approval and all individual add‑to‑consent motions were adopted by voice vote; the transcript records motion-makers and seconders but does not include roll‑call tallies by name.
No controversial debate or dissent was recorded on these items in the public meeting; several items were explicitly described as short‑term or cost‑reimbursement arrangements.
