Summary
At their April 1, 2026 meeting, Greene County commissioners approved a set of proclamations, several small contracts and funding allocations, authorized a lease for a 911 communications tower site and placed a fair housing resolution and agreement with Summit Legal Aid on the agenda for solicitor review.
The Greene County commissioners met April 1, 2026, and approved multiple proclamations, small contracts and budget allocations, including a lease for a 911 communications tower site and a fair housing resolution pending solicitor approval.
The board, led at the dais by the chair, opened the meeting and conducted a series of routine agenda actions. Commissioner Jeff moved and fellow commissioners seconded and carried voice motions to place proclamations on the agenda declaring April as Safe Digging Month (PA One Call/811), Grange Month, Sexual Assault Awareness Month (redacted in the transcript), Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month, and to proclaim Fridays as “Remember Everyone Deployed” (Red Friday).
Commissioners also voted to place a lease agreement on the agenda between Greene County and John Higgins for a parcel intended for a 911 communications tower. As read into the record, the lease terms were $1,200 per month through Dec. 31, 2030. "This is for $1,200 per month, through 12/31/2030 for an area for a 911 Communications Tower," the commissioner who presented the item said.
The board approved placing the title sheet for the planning and construction of Greene County Bridge 103 in Morris Township on the agenda; the record lists anticipated construction in 2026. The commissioners also approved modest veteran assistance allocations: $75 each for burial services covering three Korean War veterans, four Vietnam veterans and one spouse, and $100 per headstone for two Korean War veterans and two Vietnam veterans.
Among contracts placed on the agenda were a fiscal‑year 2025–26 purchase‑of‑service agreement with Abraxas Group LLC (daily rates read as $436.51 to $690.20), a Pennsylvania Regional ESG 2025 contract with Lawrence County Social Services for $7,600 to fund street outreach, and a Belmont‑Harrison juvenile district agreement at $250 per day.
The board also placed two contracts with Intermediate Unit 1 on the agenda: a school‑based mental health outpatient services contract not to exceed $30,000, and an IDD (intellectual and developmental disabilities) testing contract. The transcript contains inconsistent figures for the IDD item; the motion as read states the IDD testing contract is "not to exceed $10,000," although an earlier line in the record referred to $196,000. The chair read the later motion text indicating the lower cap.
The commissioners approved a short‑term contract with Renewal Inc. covering Jan. 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026, not to exceed $5,000, and approved an update to the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission public participation panel and resource member list.
On behalf of Waynesboro Borough, the CVG requested a set of federal contract modifications that commissioners accepted; the record lists specific line‑item reductions in curb cuts and additions for manhole rehabilitation with dollar adjustments for multiple federal fiscal‑year contracts. The board also approved a nine‑month extension request for federal fiscal‑year 2022 contract C86358; the motion as read extended the contract from July 25, 2026, to July 25, 2027 (the transcript includes an alternate date in one line, which is inconsistent with the motion as read).
The meeting record shows the board moved and approved placing a federal fiscal‑year 2026 fair housing resolution (covering FY2025–27) and a related fair housing agreement with Summit Legal Aid on the agenda, pending solicitor approval. "The contract amount of $7,013.60 to be paid from CDBG and home admin funds," the presenting commissioner said.
The chair noted five notices on the agenda, invited public comment (none recorded), and promoted a county prayer breakfast scheduled for May 7 at the Greene County Fairgrounds. The meeting adjourned after a recorded motion to adjourn.
Votes in the transcript were recorded by voice as "Aye" and motions were declared carried; individual roll‑call vote names and full tallies are not recorded in the transcript text provided.
The board took only agenda‑placement and approval actions during this session; several items (notably the fair housing agreement) are listed as pending solicitor review and therefore subject to further procedural steps.
