Summary
At their March 17 meeting, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved $189,563.85 in payables, $134,640.70 in payroll, three building‑maintenance contracts totaling $44,082 and a change to coroner mileage reimbursement effective April 1, 2026.
FULTON COUNTY — The Fulton County Board of Commissioners on March 17 unanimously approved a package of routine business and maintenance contracts that officials said are intended to keep county facilities operating and to align staff reimbursements with state law.
Commissioners approved the March 10, 2026 minutes and accepted accounts payable dated March 17 totaling $189,563.85, which included $100,467.84 from the General Fund and a $35,000.00 disbursement from the Krivak Trust Fund. The board also approved payroll dated March 20 totaling $134,640.70. Commissioner Steven L. Wible made the motion to approve the minutes and payroll; Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved approval of the payables. All votes were recorded as "all in favor."
The board authorized three vendor contracts presented by Building and Maintenance Director Brad Seville. Commissioners approved a Shearer Plumbing & Heating quote for a 3.5‑ton, 15 SEER Lennox heat pump — including inside and outside units, line set, pad, Honeywell thermostat, drain work and installation — for $18,460.00. The board also approved Shearer Plumbing & Heating to remove and replace a commercial boiler on a time‑and‑materials basis for $24,434.00. Commissioner Wible moved the heat‑pump purchase; Commissioner Bunch moved the boiler work. Separately, the board approved $2,188.00 to American Micro Industries Custom Components for acoustic panels in the main conference room and business office (motion by Commissioner Hann). Commissioners noted staff will work with Fulton County Family Partnership to assist with the heat‑pump purchase.
The meeting included several administrative approvals: the board set March 24, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. for the Election Department’s "Casting of Lots" and authorized advertising in the Fulton County Newspaper; and it approved a request from Sheriff Sprague for physician services for an inmate housed at the Bedford County Correctional Facility.
In a personnel‑policy vote, the commissioners approved authorizing mileage reimbursement for the County Coroner and Deputy Coroner when on call and traveling from home to a scene under 16 P.S. §12314 of the Pennsylvania County Code, to take effect April 1, 2026. Commissioner Randy H. Bunch moved that change.
Votes at a glance: the meeting record lists each motion as approved with the roll call phrased in the record as "All in favor." The three commissioners present were Commissioner Randy H. Bunch (chair), Commissioner Steven L. Wible (vice‑chair) and Commissioner Hervey P. Hann.
Why it matters: the approved contracts represent near‑term county capital and operating spending on building systems and meeting spaces; the coroner mileage change creates a formal, statute‑based reimbursement structure for on‑call travel beginning April 1.
The board recessed mid‑day for executive sessions on legal and personnel matters and reconvened before adjourning at 2:40 p.m.
