Summary
At the Susquehanna County commissioners meeting officials approved Resolution 26-04 (FFY2023 CDBG modification), a memorandum of understanding with Blue Ridge School District for 2026 tax-bill mailing, an Eaton UPS grant for the Public Safety Center, and multiple personnel transfers and reclassifications, including the appointment of George Warren as chief deputy sheriff.
The Susquehanna County commissioners carried a package of routine administrative and personnel actions during the meeting, including a resolution modifying the county's FFY2023 Community Development Block Grant (Resolution 26-04), a memorandum of understanding with Blue Ridge School District for printing and mailing the 2026 tax bills, acceptance of a service grant from Eaton for UPS units at the Public Safety Center, and several staff transfers and reclassifications.
Commissioners ratified the resignation of John Record from the position of chief deputy sheriff and approved transfers and reclassifications across departments: Theresa Lesafi moved from GIS assistant administrator to a full-time GIS partial administrator post; a staff member referred to in the transcript as Tom/Zegar was approved for a GIS technician/drone pilot position; Jordan Siemens and Jacob Henry were ratified in maintenance-related transfers; and the board approved transferring George Warren to the full-time nonunion position of chief deputy sheriff (grade 9) at a stated rate of $27 per hour on the sheriff's recommendation (Sheriff John Auer was cited in the recommendation). All motions were recorded as carried by voice vote.
Other approvals included cash disbursements and electronic payments, a seminar and travel request, and authorizing service work on tower generators. A speaker reported that leftover funds from an under-budget City Road project will finance paving on Center Lane and Sacramento Road. The meeting recessed briefly to the salary board, which approved several job nominations and title updates; those salary-board items were carried and the commissioners reconvened to approve the remainder of the agenda. The meeting adjourned at 09:12.
