At the March 19, 2026 meeting the Blair County Board of Commissioners approved a consent agenda (Resolution '1 35 20 26'), a five-year referral agreement with Pyramid Healthcare for social services, quotes for library repair and air testing, authorized an RFQ for energy conservation services, and approved submission of a PCCD indigent defense grant modification.
The Blair County Board of Commissioners on March 19, 2026 approved a series of routine and programmatic items, including a consent agenda, several vendor quotes and a grant modification submission.
The Clerk summarized Resolution number "1 35 20 26," which encompassed the consent agenda, staff reports and special business. The Chair moved to approve the consent agenda; a commissioner seconded the motion and the board voted to approve. One commissioner stated an abstention on a payment to Burke and Company.
The board approved a five-year referral agreement between Blair County (on behalf of the Blair County Department of Social Services) and Pyramid Healthcare Inc., Altoona Outpatient, "to facilitate continuity of care, emergency services, follow-up, and the timely transfer of patients and records for the period of 5 years," with Tricia Johnson authorized to sign the agreement, at the request of social services staff.
Public works staff (introduced as Nick) presented three items the board approved: a quote from Cross Custom Builds LLC for crack stabilization and cosmetic restoration of a wall in the Capriva Law Library for $1,275; authorization of a Request for Qualifications for a county facility energy conservation services program to review aging HVAC systems across county buildings; and ratification of a quote from Clear Air Technologies for HeraTEM air testing at District Court 204-1-3 (615 4th Street, Altoona) for $775.
The Chair introduced public defender Julia Burke's request to approve submission of a grant modification for the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) indigent defense grant number 44329; the board approved the submission. The meeting was adjourned and the board announced its next meeting for Thursday, March 26, 2026 at 10 a.m.
Votes recorded in the meeting transcript were routine "aye" approvals; the record does not include a full roll-call tally for each item beyond one abstention noted during the consent agenda vote.
