Potter County commissioners adopt FMLA policy, approve court reporting and legal services contracts and fiscal summaries

At its Jan. 9, 2025 meeting, the Potter County Commissioners unanimously adopted a Family and Medical Leave Act policy for the county and approved several contracts and fiscal summaries.

The board moved to approve "Resolution 1 of 2025" (designating an agent for a DR matter as recorded in the minutes) and adopted the Potter County FMLA policy; both actions passed on unanimous votes. The minutes list the resolution item by agenda title; the DR identifier in the minutes is unclear and is recorded in the minutes exactly as presented.

The commission approved a service agreement with Brenda J. Cappiello of Bucks County Court Reporters for court reporting services, listed in the minutes at rates of $250.00 for half days and $525.00 for full days. The board also approved a contract with Robert Kuhl to serve as Title IV-D attorney for Potter County Domestic Relations at a rate of $150 per hour. Each contract approval was moved, seconded and recorded as passing unanimously.

Commissioners reviewed and approved county fiscal summaries (December and January entries as recorded) and accepted accounts payable and payroll reports for multiple funds. The minutes include several line-item amounts and totals for accounts payable and payroll; some numeric entries in the minutes are presented in a way that is unclear in the record, so totals are reported here only to the extent the minutes record them clearly.

All items described above were approved by unanimous vote (Rossman yes; Heimel yes; Grupp yes). The board adjourned and scheduled its next meeting for Jan. 23, 2025.
