Elk County commissioners approve CDBG amendment, multiple contract renewals and routine procurements
Summary
Commissioners approved Resolution 2026-O5 to update CDBG project names, renewed service contracts (including a $60,000 CYS solicitor contract), approved a $17,500 change order for jail façade work, a 63-month copier lease and several other routine items; all motions passed by voice vote as recorded in the meeting.
At their regular meeting, the Elk County Board of Commissioners approved a package of routine business items including a CDBG application modification, contract renewals, a construction change order and equipment procurement.
Resolution 2026-O5: Planning staff explained the CDBG modification as a technical change that deletes one curb-cut project and replaces it with a street-specific project name required by the state grant manager; commissioners approved the resolution.
Contracts and procurements: Commissioners approved a one-year contract for Children & Youth Services solicitor Becky Craig at $60,000 per year with an additional $1,500 per day for certain appeal proceedings; they also approved renewal of a placement-services contract with Cornell Abraxas for 07/01/2026–06/30/2027 and a one-year renewal with Jamestown Psychiatric PC for lethality assessments (current billing $225 per assessment). A change order for SuperShine Cleaning & Restoration LLC was approved for $17,500 to add approximately 350 brick replacements on the county jail façade project. The sheriff's office was authorized to enter a 63-month lease for a Ricoh copier at $150 per month.
Other approvals: Commissioners approved a request from Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services to place a temporary yard sign for a county scavenger-hunt event, a $7,500 liquid-fuel allocation to the city of St. Mary's (pass-through financing after PENNDOT approval), and veterans burial benefits for three veterans and three spouses plus two headstones.
All motions were approved by voice vote during the meeting. No roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
