Elk County commissioners renew service contracts and approve veteran burial benefits

The Elk County Board of Commissioners approved several routine administrative items during new business, including two contract renewals and a set of veteran burial benefit approvals.

Commissioner Gregory J. Gebauer moved to renew the county's contract with Maximus U.S. Services, Inc. for 2024 through 2026 to provide cost allocation plan preparation and consulting services at $5,800.00 per year (a 3.5% increase). Commissioner Matthew G. Quesenberry seconded the motion, which the minutes record as carried unanimously.

The board also approved a renewal contract requested by Court Administration with For The Record for Justice Cloud software and support from March 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027 at a cost of $5,166.00; the minutes state the rate remains the same as last year. The motion was by Commissioner Gregory J. Gebauer, seconded by Commissioner Matthew G. Quesenberry, and carried unanimously.

On a separate item, the board approved Veteran Affairs requests to authorize benefits for four veteran burials, two spouse burials, and one veteran headstone. The minutes list the motion as moved by Commissioner Gregory J. Gebauer, seconded by Commissioner Matthew G. Quesenberry, and carried unanimously.

All three motions are recorded as passing with unanimous approval among the commissioners present; the minutes do not record roll-call vote details beyond the unanimous outcome. No implementation details, contract documents, or vendor attachments are included in the minutes; county departments listed (e.g., Court Administration, Veteran Affairs) are the apparent next points of contact for follow-up.
