Greene County commissioners place routine items, grants and contracts on the next agenda

Greene County commissioners on Jan. 28 placed multiple administrative items, grant amendments, contracts and appointments on a future action agenda, approving placement by voice votes.

The board approved motions to place a CFA multimodal grant application for the Waynesburg Wisecarver Trail design on the agenda and to designate two commissioners as grant signatories. Commissioners also approved placing the fifth TFAP (Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program) payment for federal fiscal year 2025 on the agenda and a five‑year lease proposal from Waynesboro Borough for use of the North Morgan Street parking lot (pending solicitor review).

Other agenda placements included change order No. 3 for the Waynesburg Commons multimodal improvement project (an increase transcribed as $326.73), a collective bargaining agreement between Greene County Human Services (children and youth services) and the United Mine Workers of America covering 01/01/2026–12/31/2029 (effective 01/16/2026), and a 10‑year elevator maintenance agreement with Schindler Elevator Services for the Sylvia’s Building at $525 per month (03/03/2026–03/02/2036).

The board also moved to place a contract extension for elections staffing with Jessica Gosenhauer (effective 01/02/2026) and several veterans‑assistance items on the agenda: a $75 burial allocation for a set of veterans and a $100 headstone allocation for additional veterans. The board placed acceptance of a $100,000 amendment with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation for shared‑ride transportation service stabilization funding on the agenda.

Housing pass‑through contracts with Connect, Inc. (HUD funds) were listed for placement; the transcript lists three grants (one for $224,549, one for $64,149 and one transcribed approximately as $206,424) covering periods beginning 10/01/2025 with end dates transcribed for 09/30/2026. The transcript contains garbled grant codes and some date formatting errors; those specific fields are marked as not specified in clarifying details.

The board placed a memorandum of understanding among the BHARP 24 county consortium for a forensic long‑term structured residence program, the FY24–25 early intervention income and expenditures report for discussion, and an administrative entity operating agreement with the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services on the agenda. Commissioners also approved placement of a FY25–26 revised contract with Adagio Health Inc. reflecting a $760 reduction, and a telephone services contract for the courts with Advanced Communications Co. at $532 for 01/30/2026–01/30/2027.

Child‑welfare contracting and appointments scheduled for agenda placement included approval of FY25–26 foster placement rates for Twin Pines Family Services LLC at a range transcribed as $79.45–$84.29 per day (effective 01/15/2026) and an appointment of George Skoll to the Greene County Planning Commission for 01/01/2026–12/31/2029. The board also placed on the agenda the acceptance of a resignation from the Conservation District board for Ladenna Halstead (transcript contains a variant spelling), certification of county funds for the 2026 farmland‑preservation program (total $5,000 including $4,974 principal and $26 interest), and a refund from the Farmland Preservation Fund to the general fund of $17,352.98 for prior allocations.

A contract to host flashlight drag‑race events at the Greene County Airport on specified dates was placed on the agenda, and the meeting adjourned after a perfunctory voice vote.

What this means: most items were routine placements to allow formal action at a future public meeting; few items drew substantive debate during this agenda meeting. Several entries contain garbled or inconsistent dates and codes in the transcript (these are noted in clarifying details). The board adjourned after public‑comment notices were read.
