Monroe County Commissioners approve contracts, grants and budgets; opioid settlement MOU for housing aid OK'd
Summary
The Monroe County Commissioners unanimously approved routine business including contracts for IT and correctional services, a $15,000 MOU using opioid-settlement funds for housing assistance, fiscal-authority sign-off for the Community Service Block Grant and the Affordable Housing Trust Fund budget totaling $489,652.
The Monroe County Commissioners approved a series of routine contracts, grant agreements and budget items during their meeting.
Among the items the board approved were: ratification of personnel overtime and electronic financial transactions; an Area Agency on Aging contract with Camilla Tours and Travel LLC for senior-center transportation; ratification of a contractor change order (GC-30) for $22,296.47 to Lobar Construction; and a $15,000 memorandum of understanding with Path to Peace to provide housing assistance funded from opioid-settlement funds under the settlement agreement (Exhibit E).
The board also ratified authorizing Jennifer Barclay, the fiscal director, to electronically sign the Community Service Block Grant contract for the period specified by the grant formula, acknowledged revised Medical Assistance Transportation Program allocations (MATP) and accepted a Redevelopment Authority fiscal-year 2026 Monroe County Affordable Housing Trust Fund budget of $489,652.
Other approvals included a five-year copier/printer services amendment with Frasier Advanced Information Systems (02/01/2026–01/31/2031), a no-cost Sabin maintenance and servicing agreement with the PA District Attorney Institute to provide victim notification services for the correctional facility, extension of an electronic-monitoring agreement with BI Incorporated for adult probation through 2026 at existing rates, and capital purchases including five bulletproof vests under state contract and district-attorney training equipment.
Most motions were made orally during the meeting (record shows 'So moved' and 'Second' for many items) and were carried by voice vote; the record registers 'Aye' and 'Motion carries' for each presented item. No contested roll-call tallies were recorded in the minutes.
Next steps for several items will follow standard procurement or grant-administration procedures, including contract execution and state installment sign-offs for formula-driven grants.
