# Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting 10-29-26

The Lycoming County Commissioners’ public meeting on October 29, 2026 included approvals of several spending and agreement items. The board approved a three-year Carahsoft subscription for $4,597.89, described as a budgeted operating expense with a 17% discount, and an amendment adding $27,590 in reallocated funds to the YWCA subrecipient agreement. It also approved nursing coverage using available operating funds, recycling-related agreement addenda including an amendment with Penn Township, and an engineering contract amendment for additional cross-sections and preliminary retaining-wall design; the engineering amendment extended the term through year-end with no increase to the contract’s total cost. The board approved a 20-year, no-fee site and access license with Little Fawn Hunting Club for the Matthews Road tower safety project, and an extension to the Old Lycoming Township Volunteer Fire Company’s Act 13 agreement. The fire company reported that its project was advertised for bids, with a pre-bid meeting scheduled for November 10 and a tentative bid opening on December 2, 2026. A budgeted, as-needed sign-language interpretation agreement for the Public Defender’s Office was also approved; the transcript does not clearly capture the amount of several other renewals or agreements.

The commissioners approved a sponsorship letter asking the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service to evaluate storm-damage sites for the Emergency Watershed Protection program. The request could open access to federal funding of up to 75% of eligible construction costs, but the letter itself does not commit county funds or authorize a specific project or bid; any funded agreement would return for board approval. The meeting also included approval of the 2025 recycling report and discussion of countywide fire-equipment standardization funded by outside donations. An official reported projected annual savings exceeding $60,000 from deactivating unused 911 phone lines. The board approved the listed motions, generally by voice vote; no procurement-related policy change was identified.
