Summary
The board named Gabriel Fera, P.C. as county solicitor, appointed Eric Gurney as public defender, designated Larson Design Group as county engineer, named Tim O'Neill PCOMP/PCoRP claims coordinator, and confirmed Jennifer Cochran as Open Records Officer.
During the Jan. 5 organizational meeting, the Tioga County commissioners unanimously appointed Gabriel Fera, P.C. as Tioga County Solicitor (motion by Sam VanLoon, seconded by Marc Rice) and named Eric Gurney as Tioga County Public Defender. The minutes also record the appointment of Larson Design Group as County Engineer and Tim O'Neill as PCOMP/PCoRP claims coordinator; Jennifer Cochran was confirmed as the county's Open Records Officer.
The minutes list these as routine appointments carried by unanimous votes and indicate they were recorded both in the 2026 meeting minutes and as actions reconfirming some items from the Jan. 6, 2025 organizational record. The appointments assign administrative responsibilities to the named firms and staff for legal counsel, public defense, engineering services, claims coordination and open-records duties for the year.
