Schuylkill County approved demolition advertisements and cooperation agreements, a change order increasing a demolition contract to $53,777, revisions to CDBG line items, and the approval of 62 private sale bids for tax‑delinquent parcels.
At its March 25 meeting the Schuylkill County Board of Commissioners approved multiple actions related to demolition projects, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) reallocations and tax‑delinquent property sales.
The board approved Change Order #1 to a contract with Arthur “Pat” Aungst, Inc. adding $22,586 for unforeseen demolition conditions at 26 S. Main Street in Shenandoah, increasing that contract from $31,191 to $53,777. The board also approved advertisements for demolition projects in Reilly, Mahanoy and Frackville and entered cooperation agreements with Reilly Township, Mahanoy Township and the Borough of Frackville for specific addresses.
The board approved revisions to the 2022 and 2023 CDBG programs, reallocating $9,402.91 from a Shenandoah demolition line item to Market Street improvements (2022) and moving specified sums in 2023 from demolition to Jardin Street and Market Street improvements, as recorded in the meeting minutes.
In tax‑claim business the board approved 62 private sales pursuant to 72 P.S. § 5860.613; the meeting packet lists parcel numbers, owners, locations and winning bidders for each transaction. That tax‑claim action was approved by motion and unanimous vote.
