The Lycoming County Commissioners approved a series of routine but budgeted financial and contracting items at their public meeting.
Finance staff presented accounts payable of $598,253.93 and payment to May 19 primary election poll workers totaling $100,954; commissioners approved both items by motion. The board also approved routine credit-card reconciliations and multiple vendor renewals that were included in the 2026 budget.
Notable approvals included acceptance of a Commonwealth Finance Authority multimodal grant for $1.25 million for the river extension project and a third amendment (time extension through June 30, 2027) to the MAP (municipal assistance program) grant to finish zoning-ordinance updates. Commissioners approved an amendment of $25,642 with Larsson Design Group for design and construction engineering on County Bridge 105 (McIntyre Township).
Technology, fleet and public-safety renewals authorized included contracts with Marks Technology (SCADA support), Penn Group and Fergie Truck Center (vehicle support), Intell Choice (DA/sheriff E4 software), Gov AI Software Solutions (adult probation add-on paid from court funds), CDWG (Adobe software), SHI (Microsoft licensing totaling about $191,761.90) and related Microsoft SQL licensing ($39,299.32). The board also approved a three-year agreement for the I Am Responding responder-notification service and a one-year My Local Safety subscription to allow residents to share home-occupant information with first responders; staff noted discounts and that some costs will be annual renewals.
The board approved a $10,000 outside-agency award to Jump (2026 funds) that had been transferred from a previously awarded vendor, and authorized professional services agreements for legal and court experts including a contract to provide court-ordered neuropsychological services and an expert-witness agreement for a capital case. Most items passed by motion and voice vote; minutes reflect systematic approval rather than contested debate.
Commissioners said they aim to continue scrutinizing technology and vendor costs while proceeding with budgeted service renewals essential to county operations.
