Warren County commissioners approve routine resolutions, contracts and appointments at May 20 meeting
Summary
At their May 20 meeting the Warren County commissioners approved a slate of routine items including vehicle auction authorization, contract renewals, planning fee changes (commercial and solar review fees), a hazardous-mitigation plan update contract, appointment of Wes Ramsey to the Pens Soil council, and a transit match of $900.
Warren County commissioners convened May 20 and approved a series of routine resolutions, contracts and appointments intended to maintain county operations and deliver services.
Among the items approved by unanimous voice vote were:
- Resolution 3325 to authorize online auction of three surplus county vehicles (2019 Ford Escape; 2018 Ford Police Interceptor; 2016 Dodge Caravan).
- Renewal of the county's agreement with the vendor commonly called 'Pay My Jailer' for one year to continue fee-collection services for post-incarceration recoupment.
- Approval of the contract rate for a short-term placement at Bibas Place (residential facility) covering the previous 24 days at $410.50 per child per day.
- Resolution 3327 to appoint the vendor that performs annual tax-sale postings.
- Planning and zoning fee schedule updates that set a commercial change-of-use fee at $150 per event and a solar-development review fee at $3,000 plus $250 per megawatt to cover review costs.
- Appointment of Wes Ramsey as a member at large to the Pens Soil RCND council at the request of the program director so Ramsey can remain involved following his retirement.
- A $900 county match to support the regional transit authority after some municipalities reduced their donations.
- Acceptance of two repository bids for properties in Youngsville Borough and on Stonehill Road in the city of Warren, with the successful bidder offering $250 per property subject to other taxing bodies' approvals.
- A professional-services agreement with MCM to update the county's hazard mitigation plan as required by PEMA and FEMA; staff cited an approximately four-month timeline and an approximate contract amount (partial transcript figure reported).
All listed items were moved, seconded and approved during the meeting by unanimous voice vote unless otherwise noted in the official minutes.
The meeting closed after brief commissioner remarks and adjournment.
