Fulton County to reimburse coroner mileage under state code, effective April 1

Commissioner Randy H. Bunch moved to authorize reimbursement for the county coroner and deputy coroner for mileage when on call and traveling from home to a scene, citing 16 P.S. §12314 (Pennsylvania County Code). The board approved the motion unanimously and set the effective date as April 1, 2026.

The minutes record the motion and adoption but do not specify per‑mile reimbursement rates, budget line items, or whether the change will be retroactive for recent calls. The clerk’s entry cites the statutory authority in the motion language; the minutes do not include additional implementation details.

The policy change applies to the coroner's office operations and will affect travel reimbursements for the coroner and deputy coroner when they respond to scenes from home while on call. The minutes do not show a separate vote tally by name; votes are recorded in the minutes as "all in favor."
