Greene County commissioners met Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2026, and approved placing multiple items on the agenda for later formal consideration, including a right-of-way plan for Bridge 103 in Morris Township and a resolution to submit a 2025 competitive CDBG application for Cumberland Township.
The meeting opened with livestream and public-comment instructions and the Pledge of Allegiance. Speaker 1 called for approval of the Jan. 28, 2026 minutes; Speaker 3 moved and Speaker 1 seconded, and the board carried the motion after an affirmative response from the dais.
Speaker 4 asked commissioners to place on the agenda a proclamation naming February Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month; Speaker 3 moved to place it on the agenda and the motion carried.
On infrastructure, Speaker 4 requested placing the right-of-way plan for Bridge 103 in Morris Township on the agenda. "Under congress, commissioners, finance administration, consider placing the agenda a proclamation naming…the right to approve the right of way plan, for Bridge 103 in Morris Township," Speaker 4 said. The motion was moved and seconded and carried.
Speaker 4 also asked to begin a declaration of taking on parcel 1 of the Bridge 103 right-of-way plan for the replacement project but noted an agreement may remove the need for that step. "The only thing I'll add to this is potentially this is not gonna be needed. We were told late yesterday or the day before that they think they came to an agreement," Speaker 4 said. That placement on the agenda was approved.
The commission approved placing appointments to the Greene County Housing Authority Board on the agenda: Betsy McClure (term to 12/31/2030), Ethel Gray (12/31/2029), Donald Baker (12/31/2028), Kathy Carpenter (12/31/2027) and Amy Sultowski (12/31/2026). Speaker 4 introduced the slate and Speaker 3 moved to place the appointments on the agenda; the motion carried.
Budget and program items placed on the agenda included the fiscal year 2024–25 Medical Assistance Transportation Program final allocation of $540,309 and a fiscal year 2025–26 updated allocation of $658,146. Speaker 4 presented both requests; both motions were moved, seconded and carried.
The board also approved placing the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) quarter 1 expenditure report for Oct. 1–Dec. 31, 2025 on the agenda for approval.
On correctional services, Speaker 4 requested placing an agreement between Merakey and the Greene County Prison to collaborate on treatment options for the inmate population. "Whether the gentleman is there to place an agenda an agreement between Merakey and the Greene County Prison to work collaboratively for treatment options for the inmate population," Speaker 4 said. The motion to place that agreement on the agenda was approved.
Procurement items included two LinkAge motions: authorization to obtain a GPO rate through Gordon Food Service and a LinkAge GPO agreement between the Greene County Prison and LinkAge to set terms and conditions of membership. Both were placed on the agenda with motions and carried votes.
On community development, Speaker 4 asked to place on the agenda a resolution approving and authorizing submission of the 2025 competitive CDBG application on behalf of Cumberland Township for the "Nemecol and sewer system and treatment plant," and to place the required supporting documentation (general application verification, disclosure reports, federal funding accountability and transparency reports, worker protection and investment certification, and lobbying certification) on the agenda. Both motions were moved, seconded and carried.
Speaker 1 noted seven notices on the agenda and opened public comment; none were offered. Speaker 3 moved to adjourn, a second was received, and Speaker 1 declared the meeting adjourned.
