# 11/5/2026 Schuylkill County Commissioner's Meeting

At the November 5, 2026, Schuylkill County Commissioners meeting, the board considered several service agreements and technology purchases. Children and Youth requested approval of service agreements with United Charities of West Hazleton ($212 per diem for community-based residential services and $265 per diem for independent living, July 1, 2026–June 30, 2028), Access Foster Care and Adoption ($81.22 and $98.91 per diem rates, July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027), and Tucker Arensberg, PC, for case-specific adoption representation, along with an extension of the Language Line agreement at current rates. The transcript records affirmative votes on the Children and Youth requests. A $58,574.50 contract with EA Johnson Group, Inc. was presented for a CDBG-funded ADA project in Pine Grove Township and West Penn home rehabilitation work; the transcript does not clearly capture a vote. The county also discussed an additional $58,000 in services requested from Y Kim Architects for the emergency services and fire school project; the stated revised total is unclear in the transcript.

Other procurement items included a Dell Financial Services purchase of 50 desktop computers and 50 monitors for $65,990.45 over five years, with a one-year end-of-term buyout; the equipment is for replacement and planned rotation. Commissioners approved supplemental budget appropriation Resolution 2026-28 for $13,199 from the records improvement fund. Emergency services presented an ESRI mapping maintenance agreement, with a stated cost of $6,000 per year, and a 2027 dispatch-support agreement for $69,656.01. Solid Waste sought approval of 10-year disposal-capacity agreements with Alliance Sanitary Landfill and Recycling Transfer Station. The board also received proposed amendments renaming the Solid Waste Authority as the General Authority, extending its term by 50 years, fixing its board at five members, and requiring county approval before new projects; no vote on those amendments is clear in the transcript. Public comment included a request for greater transparency about the 2027 budget and an unverified concern about $750,000 reportedly directed to the redevelopment authority; no related procurement action was recorded.
