5/7/2026 Lebanon County Commissioner Meeting

The Lebanon County Commissioners held a meeting on May 7, 2026, which included extensive public commentary on the county's Section 287G agreements with ICE and related liability and insurance coverage concerns following Pennsylvania County Risk Pool's (P-Corp) decision to exclude 287G-related liability coverage. The commissioners discussed potential insurance alternatives and the complexities of liability coverage under federal and local jurisdiction. Additionally, the board approved personnel transactions, including new hires and resignations across various county departments. A significant procurement action was the approval of a contract with Laserfiche for software to manage docket files previously stored on a legacy system, with an initial implementation cost of approximately $30,000 and ongoing annual licensing fees of about $16,000. The commissioners also authorized the submission of a $160,060 grant application under the Justice Reinvestment Initiative to enhance probation and parole services, including funding for a continuous quality improvement officer and training workshops. Furthermore, the board approved the sale of three county properties to the City of Lebanon Land Bank for $398,000, with proceeds designated for programmatic use by the Community Action Partnership. Lastly, the commissioners approved hotel tax grant funding requests totaling $7,500 for local cultural and community projects. Motions related to these procurement and budgetary items were unanimously approved during the meeting.
