Commissioners approve $1.5 million and $156,000 supplemental budget appropriations
Summary
The Schuylkill County Board approved supplemental appropriation resolution #2026-12 for $1,500,000 (economic development) and #2026-13 for $156,000 (Human Services Block Grant); both passed on roll call with unanimous votes.
The Schuylkill County Board of Commissioners approved two supplemental budget appropriations at its June 17 work session: a $1.5 million supplemental appropriation (resolution #2026-12) and a $156,000 supplemental appropriation for the Human Services Block Grant (resolution #2026-13).
County Administrator Gary Bender and finance staff presented budget adjustments including smaller line-item changes (for example, $3,500 for an America 250 county sponsorship and $85,000 for mental health materials). The board then voted to adopt the two supplemental appropriations. Commissioner Barron Hetherington moved each motion and Commissioner Gary Hess seconded; roll-call votes recorded all three commissioners voting yes.
The $1.5 million appropriation was described as for economic development purposes; the transcript did not provide line-item breakdowns beyond the stated totals. The $156,000 appropriation was advanced on behalf of the Human Services Block Grant program.
