Juniata County approves service agreement, children & youth contracts and $210,059.48 in payments
Summary
At its May 12, 2026 meeting the board unanimously approved a one‑year service agreement with OAESYS for $6,620, purchase‑of‑service contracts for Children & Youth including Valley Youth House for July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027, certified quarterly Children & Youth reporting, tax exonerations for Susquehanna Township, and payment of check numbers #78505–#78580 totaling $210,059.48.
The Juniata County Board of Commissioners, meeting May 12, 2026, approved multiple routine administrative and vendor items affecting county operations and contracted social services.
Commissioner Todd Graybill moved and Commissioner Mark Partner seconded approval of a one‑year Service Solutions Agreement with OAESYS covering July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 for $6,620.00; the motion carried unanimously. The board also approved Purchase of Services Agreements for Juniata County Children & Youth Services, including a contract with Valley Youth House effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Commissioner Graybill’s motion on the children & youth contracts was carried without recorded opposition.
In addition, the board approved the "Certification Statement - County Children & Youth Social Service Programs" for the period January 1 through March 31, 2026 as submitted by the Children & Youth Fiscal Department (motion by Commissioner Mark Partner, seconded by Commissioner Todd Graybill). The board reviewed departmental reports for April 2026, including the Act 148 third‑quarter report submitted by Children & Youth.
The board voted to approve tax exonerations for Susquehanna Township as presented in the meeting materials, and authorized payment of check numbers #78505 through #78580 in the amount of $210,059.48. Those motions were recorded as carried unanimously.
Why it matters: These votes maintain ongoing county service contracts and social‑service vendor relationships and clear fiscal items from the county’s accounts payable. The OAESYS agreement covers a modest annual service fee; the Children & Youth contracts maintain state‑mandated social services and placement options. The transcript includes no discussion of additional county appropriations tied to these approvals.
Next steps: Contracts take effect on their stated start dates (OAESYS and Valley Youth House on July 1, 2026); county staff will process the approved payments and maintain required reporting for Children & Youth programs.
