Commission approves reorganized staff chart, accepts audit and OKs $100,000 KCER contract
Summary
The Pennsylvania Commission on Sentencing approved a revised staff organizational chart, accepted a fiscal‑year audit reporting no control deficiencies, authorized an RFP for a three‑year audit contract, and approved a service contract with Carbon Creek not to exceed $100,000 for KCER application development.
The Pennsylvania Commission on Sentencing moved through a series of administrative actions at its quarterly meeting, voting to approve a revised staff organizational chart, accept an independent financial audit, authorize a request for proposals for future audits and approve a service contract for continued KCER application development.
Executive Director Dr. Kliman told members the organizational chart (in the meeting notebook, pages 15–16) reflects 22 FTE positions with four current vacancies and reassigns oversight of applications and information technology under the senior deputy director. The commission approved the revised chart by voice vote after a motion and second.
On finance, staff presented the fiscal year 2024–25 audit by Boyer & Ritter; the audit reported no compliance or internal control deficiencies and the commission voted to accept it. Because the Boyer & Ritter contract was the last year of a three‑year engagement, members also authorized a request for proposals for a three‑year independent audit contract covering fiscal years 2025‑26 through 2027‑28.
On technology contracting, Dr. Kliman sought approval for a service purchase contract with Carbon Creek “not to exceed a $100,000 to provide application development services for the next‑gen case or application,” which the commission approved by voice vote. Staff noted the commission is using JRI‑2 funds and existing appropriations to support KCER development but that some funding streams remain subject to future legislative appropriations.
The meeting also approved routine orders including the December 4, 2025 meeting minutes. The transcript shows the votes carried with no recorded negative votes; exact roll‑call tallies were not recorded in the meeting transcript.
