Bedford County commissioners approve routine expenditures, agreements and personnel actions
Summary
At its June 9 meeting the Bedford County Board of Commissioners approved payroll and expenditure listings, multiple intergovernmental and service agreements, a new Tax Claims Bureau payment-policy resolution, and several personnel actions; one transfer to 911 coordinator passed over an objection.
The Bedford County Board of Commissioners approved a slate of routine administrative and fiscal items during its June 9 meeting in Room 101 of the Bedford County Government Building.
Commissioners Stiles, Winck and Baughman voted to approve the May 12 meeting minutes and to accept the expenditures and payroll as presented; Commissioner Baughman read the month’s top ten expenses. The board approved motions to accept the Change of Assessment Notice Control Report for May and to authorize the listed payrolls and general account expenditures.
The board also approved several service agreements: a one-year intercounty juvenile detention agreement with Jefferson County for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; and a one-year Purchase of Service Agreement retaining Barry R. Scatton, Esquire, as agency solicitor/general legal counsel for Bedford County Children & Youth Services. Commissioners approved participation in a regional Grant Cooperation Agreement with the Southern Alleghenies Planning and Development Commission to pursue a PaDCED Municipal Assistance Program grant (details of the grant are covered in a separate article).
Personnel actions were approved as presented by department heads, including a list of new hires and separations for May 2026. The board approved a transfer moving Catey Cain from Telecommunicator to 911 Coordinator effective May 18, 2026. The motion passed with Commissioners Stiles and Baughman approving and Commissioner Winck opposed; Winck said he believed Cain did not meet the qualifications for the position and that commissioners should have been more involved in the hiring process. Stiles said directors’ hiring judgments should be trusted going forward, and Baughman defended the performance of the director of emergency services.
The board adopted Resolution No. 06-09-2026 establishing a policy for Tax Claims Bureau payment agreements (details in a separate article). The meeting concluded with an adjournment at 10:18 a.m.; the next regular meeting is scheduled for July 14, 2026.
