Lycoming County Commissioner's Meeting 10-1-2026

Lycoming County Commissioners’ public meeting, October 1, 2026: Commissioners approved the county’s invoice ratification, although the total is garbled in the transcript (rendered as “$943,28”), and approved replacement of a failed emissions system on a D8 dozer with more than 9,800 operating hours; no repair cost or vendor was stated. They also ratified an extension to the period of performance for a BRIC 21 grant with PEMA. The Board of Assessment Revisions approved several real-estate refunds and exemption requests, including refunds related to homes destroyed by fire; these were not procurement actions.

The commissioners approved a pilot agreement with the Lycoming Regional Police Department to provide personnel for county 911 call coverage. The county will reimburse the department monthly at officers’ current hourly rates of $25.60–$36.53, capped at $37 per hour, using 911 funds. The estimated cost for one officer at full-time hours is about $6,400 per month, compared with nearly $15,000 per month for current overtime and contracted staffing. The meeting also included STEP’s quarterly update on childcare staffing, winter energy assistance, housing, and flood-recovery coordination; no new STEP funding or contract award was presented.
