Centre County commissioners approve routine contracts, grants and add planning items to consent agenda
Summary
At a regular meeting, commissioners approved minutes, several contract and consent‑agenda items, moved multiple capital and children‑services items to next week's consent agenda, and voted to enter an executive session. They also asked staff to check whether PAWS needs financial assistance after a large animal‑welfare intake.
The Centre County Board of Commissioners on March 20 approved minutes and a string of routine contracts, grant changes and consent‑agenda items while discussing animal‑welfare support and scheduling an executive session.
The board opened at 10:01 a.m., led the Pledge of Allegiance and heard from the chair about an apparent dog‑hoarding incident that brought 43 animals to local rescue groups. The chair said county residents and PAWS volunteers had rehomed 42 animals in roughly two days and asked county staff to check whether PAWS needs county financial assistance. “We very much like to thank Paws, their staff, their volunteers, and all the county residents who … rehomed 42 of 43 dogs in about a 2 day period,” the chair said.
