Juniata County commissioners approve routine grants, contracts and $207,505.14 in payments
Summary
At their Feb. 24 meeting, the Juniata County Commissioners unanimously approved multiple routine items including MATP grant agreement changes, a CivicPlus ADA website contract, a hazardous-materials response continuation agreement and a $207,505.14 payment checklist.
Juniata County Commissioners Chairperson Alice J. Gray presided over a short Feb. 24, 2026 meeting in which the board unanimously approved a series of routine grants, contracts and payments.
The board approved changes to the MATP (Medical Assistance Transportation Program) Grant Agreement and Assurance of Compliance as presented by Melissa Stewart, director of Mifflin Juniata Human Services. Commissioner Mark R. Partner moved the change and Commissioner Todd A. Graybill seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
The commissioners also unanimously approved a Letter of Support for a Centre County application to the Federal Fiscal Year 2026–2027 Community Traffic Safety Project grant. The board voted to enter a contract with CivicPlus to create an updated, ADA-compliant county website; the transcript records the motion passed without dissent but does not specify the contract amount.
Using the County Records Improvement Fund, the board approved purchase of an HP Laserjet Pro 4001n printer for the Prothonotary’s Office at a stated cost of $166.84, a request attributed to Lori Ferry, Prothonotary/Clerk of Courts.
The commissioners approved a “Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Continuation Agreement” with Eagle Response Services for emergency and non-emergency response services under Pennsylvania Act 1990-165 (as amended). The meeting record describes the contract’s scope as response services under that statute; the record does not list a dollar value for the agreement.
The board approved tax exonerations for Monroe, Milford, Tuscarora, Lack and Beale Townships as provided in the meeting materials. Commissioners reviewed departmental reports, including a Children & Youth Services expenditure and reimbursement report covering the period July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026; the report was entered for the record and no separate action beyond review was logged.
Finally, the commissioners approved payment of checklist #77544–#77624 in the amount of $207,505.14. The board adjourned at 10:10 a.m.; the Salary Board, Retirement Board and Board of Elections reported no business scheduled.
The meeting record lists county staff and local reporters in attendance, including Michael Hower (Assessment & GIS), Laurie Hower (Treasurer), William Hummel (Emergency Management Director), Melissa Stewart (Mifflin Juniata Human Services) and reporters from the Juniata Sentinel.
