[6:30] I don't see any, so we'll do
Oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead. And see
[6:34] » Good morning.
[6:37] As you all know, we're faced with
>> Please state your name. State your name
[6:40] first, so
>> Oh, sorry. Nathan Fisher.
[6:42] » Okay, thank you, Mr. Fisher.
>> faced with some pretty serious issues in
[6:46] Grim Township right now.
Um on top of uh
[6:53] dealing with uh
a data center potentially being proposed
[6:57] to be built
and trying to figure out how we can
[7:00] protect our community from the adverse
effects that it may cause.
[7:05] Um
on on top of that uh the big news this
[7:09] morning is that we've now lost a
township supervisor,
[7:13] which I think a huge part of is due to
the stress of trying to figure out
[7:21] how we can work our way through this and
hopefully
[7:24] mitigate any disasters. Um
[7:29] I have
concerns also
[7:33] that uh
there's the potential for corruption in
[7:38] our township. I don't think the way
things have been handled with the whole
[7:41] data center
proposal has been on the up and up.
[7:47] Um, been controversy the whole way
through it with uh
[7:52] township supervisors representing other
people and just
[7:58] there's been so much brought to light in
the whole process.
[8:02] Um,
another thing that we have discovered is
[8:07] uh
Mary Herkto sits on the as uh the
[8:12] township manager and also on the Mifflin
County Municipal Authority Board of
[8:17] Directors
and she leaves the township building
[8:21] during township hours while she's
collecting a township salary for being
[8:25] the township manager
and goes to
[8:29] the Board of Directors meetings and gets
paid to be sitting in a Board of
[8:33] Directors meeting.
Um, couple questions for you guys are
[8:38] who determines who sits on that board?
>> They
[8:44] » Excuse me.
>> The uh
[8:46] » The township each township that that has
a seat on the table they give us a
[8:50] nominee they they send to us. We make
the official appointment but what but
[8:55] they determine who the nominee
>> Correct.
[8:57] » Yeah, thank you for that.
>> Could I we ask who stepped down?
[9:01] » Who stepped down?
>> down in a position?
[9:04] » Supervisor.
>> Supervisor Fury resigned.
[9:06] » Yes, uh Supervisor Fury resigned today.
I'm sorry I
[9:10] wasn't following you there.
>> So then that position would be appointed
[9:13] then.
>> I believe
[9:17] » to fill out his term, right?
>> Yes, I believe that to be correct.
[9:20] » But as far as back to the water
authority your question was that is how
[9:23] it works. Like Lewistown Borough has
three seats I believe rather but anyone
[9:27] who has a seat that municipality
provides us with a nomination we'd like
[9:31] this person to be our representative and
and we appoint.
[9:35] » Okay. The county does not select the
representative. So in this instance
[9:41] uh it would be up to the township to
get to us with either another nominee
[9:49] and and we would discuss.
>> So you do not have the power to remove
[9:52] her from
>> Well not I don't believe so.
[9:55] » It's nothing you can do about
>> No they have they have
[9:58] they have bylaws.
>> I think
[10:00] I think it's a conflict of interest when
she's collecting double salaries.
[10:04] » So we
>> Lucky, can we remove someone?
[10:07] » I don't believe so.
>> Only for misconduct. I mean you can
[10:10] always remove somebody for malfeasance
but you're going to have to
[10:13] prove it.
>> And I and I think
[10:16] I think for the bylaws as the
commissioner said the municipalities
[10:20] have the right to nominate and then we
would appoint.
[10:27] Um
I don't know the procedure for
[10:30] resignations or firings or anything of
that. I think that has to go back to
[10:35] this township solicitor or the municipal
solicitor.
[10:38] » Now because she serves as an employee
also of the township. Yeah. I mean the
[10:44] the township supervisors if they wanted
to they could say
[10:47] you know
we think it's a conflict is that we
[10:50] should you should resign from that most
give them someone else on that. I mean
[10:53] that'd be an easy fix. Yeah. And that
way now regarding the salaries you're
[10:57] referencing again
that's something that
[11:01] they could fix. They could say because
you're we're paying you right now salary
[11:06] and I just refuse to accept the
municipal authority salary. They could
[11:09] do that.
But again that's for them to to work
[11:13] out.
>> Well my concern is she's not if she's
[11:15] not attending in attendance at
it wouldn't be no different than me
[11:20] asking to leave the state of New Shield
to come to
[11:23] the courthouse and be the clerk.
Do you know how long do you think New
[11:27] Shield would put up with that?
Do you just send me my paycheck I'm
[11:31] going to go over here and work work
hours.
[11:34] Do you think that will happen?
>> I don't know. Anything else?
[11:38] » I don't think I'm even going to ask. I
know it's
[11:40] » Yeah, I think Yeah, you're right.
[11:44] » Thank you. You folks have a good
morning.
[11:45] » Thanks.
>> Thanks, sir.
[11:49] » Sorry, miss. Anybody else?
Okay, so then we'll just proceed then to
[11:54] our
another order of business, which is a
[11:56] proclamation for suicide prevention and
awareness month.
[12:01] And I will read the proclamation.
[12:06] Okay, whereas suicide is a serious
public health concern that affects
[12:10] individuals, families, veterans, service
members, caregivers, and communities
[12:15] across all ages, backgrounds, and
circumstances.
[12:19] And whereas every life has value, and
people experiencing emotional distress,
[12:24] mental health challenges, substance use
concerns, grief, trauma, isolation,
[12:29] chronic pain, or thoughts of suicide
deserve compassion, dignity, support,
[12:34] and access to appropriate resources.
And whereas veterans and service members
[12:40] may experience unique challenges
relating to military service, transition
[12:45] to civilian life, traumatic experiences,
chronic pain, loss, isolation,
[12:50] employment, housing, finances, and
difficulty accessing or accepting
[12:56] support.
And whereas suicide prevention is a
[12:59] shared community responsibility that
requires education, awareness, early
[13:04] intervention, supportive relationships,
reduced stigma, and strong partnerships
[13:10] among individuals, families, veterans,
peers, health care providers, emergency
[13:15] responders, schools, faith communities,
community organizations, employers, and
[13:21] local leaders. And whereas together with
Veterans HMJ is a community-based
[13:27] suicide prevention initiative serving
veterans and communities throughout
[13:33] Huntington, Mifflin, and Juniata
counties by providing awareness,
[13:37] strengthening connection, engaging
veterans as leaders, reducing stigma,
[13:42] and improving access to resources.
And whereas Healing Connections Suicide
[13:48] Prevention Task Force brings together
community partners committed to suicide
[13:54] prevention,
education outreach, postvention, and the
[13:58] development of caring and responsive
community in which individuals feel
[14:03] supported, valued, and connected.
And whereas together with Veterans HMJ
[14:10] and Healing Connections recognize that
open and compassionate conversations
[14:15] about suicide can save lives,
seeking help is a sign of strength, and
[14:20] prevention is possible.
And whereas residents are encouraged to
[14:25] learn the possible signs of crisis,
reach out to people who may be
[14:29] struggling, listen without judgment,
promote hope, and connect individuals
[14:35] and families with professional, peer,
veteran, and community-based support.
[14:41] And whereas the 988 Suicide and Crisis
Lifeline provides free and confidential
[14:47] support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by
calling or texting 988
[14:54] with specialized support for veterans,
service members, and their loved ones
[14:58] available by calling 988 and pressing
one or texting 838-255.
[15:07] Now therefore, we the Mifflin County
Commissioners do hereby proclaim the
[15:11] month of September 2026
as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month in
[15:16] Mifflin County and encourage all
residents, organizations, employers,
[15:20] schools, faith communities, healthcare
providers, veterans, service members,
[15:26] families, and community leaders to
participate in suicide prevention
[15:31] education and awareness activities,
strengthen connections with people who
[15:35] may be struggling, share available
resources, and work together to create a
[15:41] community where every person knows that
help is available, hope is possible, and
[15:47] no one has to face crisis alone.
In witness whereof, set our hands this
[15:52] 3rd day of September, Commissioners Post
Codish and Weiss.
[15:57] A motion to adopt a proclamation for
suicide prevention and awareness months.
[16:02] » So moved.
>> Second.
[16:03] » All those in favor say I.
>> I.
[16:05] » That proclamation is adopted. We do have
a representative here from Veterans of
[16:10] the Susquehanna Valley.
Would you like to say a few words?
[16:19] » Commissioners, and everyone else
involved. Thank you for having me this
[16:22] morning.
Um, my name is Scott Spike. I um
[16:26] I'm here as a representative of Together
With Veterans of Huntington, Mifflin,
[16:30] and Juniata Counties.
Uh in my professional capacity, I
[16:33] actually manage the VA health clinics in
State College and Huntington Counties,
[16:38] but I'm here as a representative of the
uh Together With Veterans organization,
[16:42] and we partner with uh healing
connections in the area. Um
[16:47] we uh we provide education, uh we teach
classes, we have uh
[16:53] you know, a lot of uh events that we go
out to, and we try and get the word out
[16:58] about all the different types of
services that are available through the
[17:02] VA, but more importantly, um
suicide does affect veterans at a higher
[17:07] rate than it does uh other populations,
but it's a human problem. It's not just
[17:13] a veteran problem, and that's why it's
so important that in communities like
[17:17] ours that we weave together all the
resources that we have because we're at
[17:22] disadvantage to a bigger place that has
more resources. So,
[17:28] we have to know what each other
has as far as the different agencies and
[17:32] weave everything together as a safety
net.
[17:35] I'm so passionate about this because I
served three combat tours, 2 years in
[17:41] Afghanistan and a year in Iraq and I was
a trauma ICU nurse. We did surgery in my
[17:46] unit on the battlefield for the guys who
weren't going to survive the flight back
[17:50] to the smaller hospitals. So, my tattoos
tell the story but
[17:56] all those movies you saw with the horses
running through the passes at the very
[18:00] beginning of Afghanistan and the Medal
of Honor winners, I was with those guys.
[18:06] And that stuff sticks with you and
we actually lost more guys to suicide
[18:12] after the fact than we lost while we
were over there. I've been touched by
[18:16] veteran suicide 11 times.
With friends of mine and soldiers that I
[18:22] served with.
So,
[18:26] I'm really passionate about the subject
and
[18:29] so if you're interested in finding out
how you can help or if you just want to
[18:33] get involved, check us out on Instagram,
check us out on Facebook. We're there.
[18:38] It's together with Veterans HMJ. I'm Tim
Mifflin Juniata County. We're right
[18:42] there.
>> Thank thank you and I'm sure that our
[18:46] veterans our veteran officer
and department will also can make
[18:50] connections with you.
We'd like to get a photo in the lobby
[18:55] with the line.
[20:27] » Okay, we'll continue
to item B. There's an offer for a parcel
[20:32] in Derry Township that is currently in
our deposit repository
[20:37] of unsold properties. The offer is for
$1,000
[20:41] from a neighboring
uh
[20:44] uh it's from a neighbor.
Is there a motion to either accept or
[20:48] reject the $1,000 bid?
>> Motion to accept.
[20:51] » Second that.
>> Those in favor say I.
[20:53] » I.
>> Opposed.
[20:55] And motion carries.
We have a request for the creation of a
[20:59] non-interest-bearing account for the
Mifflin County Juvenile Graduate
[21:03] Response Program and Juvenile Probation.
Supervisor Hillary Warley is going to
[21:09] explain this to us.
>> So, um
[21:14] Regulated responses is an evidence-based
practice and it's a component of the
[21:17] juvenile justice service enhancement
strategy that is implement being
[21:21] implemented by the Pennsylvania
uh juvenile court judges commission.
[21:26] Here in Mifflin County, the program
would use incentives and sanctions to
[21:29] encourage prosocial behaviors of all
juveniles on supervision and to promote
[21:35] accountability, restore victims, and
decrease recidivism.
[21:39] The process would take into
consideration risk levels, needs, and
[21:43] responsibility while reinforcing
positive behaviors and providing
[21:46] proportional sanctions to negative
behaviors with the goal of encouraging
[21:49] prosocial behaviors.
Um funds for
[21:53] for the the the program would come from
juror pay as well as we do have snack
[22:00] and soda sales over at the probation
department that we will use the proceeds
[22:04] from that also to to help boost this
program. We've created policy. We have a
[22:09] way to track the incentives. So, we're
just looking for approval to
[22:15] to get a bank account set up so we can
start across the purchasing incentives
[22:20] for the juveniles. And the incentives
will come through the goals that they
[22:23] set for themselves. It could be
something they're working towards like a
[22:27] gift card. It could be we could pay for
their GED testing,
[22:31] um summer school, things like that. Or
it could be simply there's a book that
[22:34] they want to purchase and we could
purchase it for them.
[22:38] » Yeah, I'm just curious. How many
juveniles do you do we have under
[22:42] supervision?
>> We have about 52.
[22:44] » 52?
>> Yes.
[22:46] » How many do we have in the adult?
>> Adult, I can't tell you that. That would
[22:50] be a question for Nick Hill.
>> Nick's got it.
[22:54] 500.
500, there you go. What's the ages,
[22:57] Hillary, from if when you're juvenile?
>> 10 to 21. Um so, if you commit an
[23:03] offense before the age of 18, you can
still come on juvenile supervision and
[23:07] remain on until the age of 21.
[23:11] » Okay.
Sounds like great program. It does. Any
[23:15] other questions?
>> Thank you.
[23:18] » If not, is there a motion to open the
non-interest bearing account
[23:24] at uh
Bank isn't, Hillary.
[23:28] » It said
>> Juniata
[23:29] » Oh,
>> It's Juniata Valley Bank, that's right.
[23:31] » Yeah.
>> All right. There a motion?
[23:33] » So
>> Second.
[23:34] » All those in favor, say I.
>> I.
[23:36] » Opposed? That motion carries. Next we
have
[23:40] Chief Probation Officer Nick Wolfkill to
explain the application for intermediate
[23:46] punishment grant to us.
>> So, this is a grant that um, I've been
[23:51] lucky enough to get and every year that
I've
[23:55] uh been in this position. Um, this goes
to provide officers salaries, electronic
[24:00] monitoring, drug tests, and counseling.
This program, the intermediate
[24:05] punishment program, is a program set up
as a last chance for people before going
[24:10] to state prison. This usually includes a
lengthy jail time as mandatory with
[24:16] their prior arrest scores. And part of
this program is trying to keep them in
[24:21] the community and using electronic
monitoring to shorten their stints in
[24:25] jail. Um, so it gives them a last chance
to maintain employment, to be part of
[24:31] their family situations,
um, and to be a member of our community.
[24:37] Um, it's also our most intensive
supervision. So, while they are out in
[24:41] our community instead of being in jail,
they are under strict supervision. Um,
[24:46] so it's a benefit all the way around.
[24:51] » Okay. Does that amount ever increase?
>> It slowly.
[24:56] They set the amount and we just apply
for it and then hopefully we get the
[25:00] full amount each time.
>> That's uh the old words.
[25:04] » Okay, thanks, Nate.
Are there any more questions?
[25:08] Now, there is there a motion to apply
this is for application.
[25:12] » Yes.
>> Apply for the intermediate punishment
[25:14] grant.
>> So moved.
[25:15] » Second.
>> All those in favor say I.
[25:17] » I.
>> Opposed. Okay, send in the application.
[25:20] Thank you.
We have a maintenance agreement from
[25:25] uh for the prothonotary's office for the
year 2027. It's for $2,058.17.
[25:32] Uh looks like it's a continuation of a
previous agreement. This is for the year
[25:37] 2027.
[25:43] I'm looking for a date, gentlemen.
Um
[25:48] That's 2027, so I assume
>> Yeah, 1 1.
[25:52] » Probably.
>> 1 1.
[25:53] » I would say June.
>> Okay.
[25:56] All those in
favor say I.
[25:58] » So moved.
>> Second.
[25:59] » All those in favor say I.
>> I.
[26:01] » Opposed.
Motion carries. Similarly, we have
[26:06] another maintenance agreement for tax
claims for the year 2027. This is for
[26:10] $1,164.64.
[26:16] Both of these are slight increases from
2026 to 2027.
[26:20] Are there a motion to
accept the maintenance agreement for tax
[26:24] claims for 2027?
>> So moved.
[26:27] » Second.
>> All those in favor say I.
[26:28] » I.
>> Opposed. That motion carries.
[26:34] We have a 2025 Homeland Security Grant
for South Central Mountains Regional
[26:38] Center and Emergency Management Director
Phil Lucas will explain this to us.
[26:43] » Um this is a ongoing annual grant that
Franklin County participates in with
[26:50] seven other counties forms South Central
Mountains
[26:53] uh
task force.
[26:55] The funding is from Homeland Security
through the state,
[26:59] through the counties. We operate as an
eight-county Task Force to distribute
[27:05] those funds to local first responders
for the purpose of planning,
[27:11] responding, and equipping those
responders
[27:14] for terrorism-related incidents. The
most notable
[27:19] thing that we can include in that is
while we have that that equipment
[27:23] training for the purpose of terrorism
response, it's also available for
[27:27] all-hazard response. Best example is
since about 11:00 last night, we've had
[27:33] nine counties from three task forces
responding to water rescues and
[27:38] evacuations in the southern county
Clearfield and Clinton County area
[27:42] overnight. Extremely dangerous doing
water rescues and evacuations overnight.
[27:48] While they're doing that, they're having
major, significant flooding as we do
[27:52] that. And then again, it's pulling
resources from about nine different
[27:55] counties from Elk County to Huntington
County including Mifflin going up in
[27:59] that area to assist with that.
>> So, this grant is $547,893
[28:06] to be shared amongst the eight counties
obviously, and it is from Homeland
[28:13] Security. So, there's no local match
involved here.
[28:16] » Correct.
>> Okay.
[28:19] » Do the other counties need to pass the
same
[28:22] » Each county has to pass a
resolution to be consolidated.
[28:28] » Do the funds sit in one location then,
like a master and give it out as needed?
[28:31] Or will each county get a certain
amount?
[28:33] » Funds actually remain at the state
level.
[28:36] The state gives us a small advance. We
have a an organization called PEMA
[28:41] in the center county that provides our
administrative
[28:44] and fiscal uh
We we I think 15% of the grant initially
[28:50] so that we can do contracting and
payroll through them for PEG uh to do
[28:54] the grants. Then everything is done on a
reimbursement basis.
[28:58] But it it's revolving grant. You can
utilize previous years' grants to fund
[29:04] current projects as we brought to us
now.
[29:06] » So is that as needed in
each county, right? Say Say a county one
[29:11] county uses or has a lot more
>> We We don't We don't
[29:14] » Allow that
>> right. That way we We only fund regional
[29:19] projects.
Now
[29:22] counties may have a better benefit
because
[29:26] um the training is focused. There's more
training offered in a specific location
[29:29] where there are more people taking the
training.
[29:32] For um example, I use water rescue. Um
we We started a project where we want to
[29:37] fund water rescue teams for security
assessments of dams and bridges. But
[29:42] then we use those same resources to do
rescues. So we ask, are there any fire
[29:47] companies in the eight-county region who
are interested in
[29:50] participating in
uh security assessments for water and
[29:55] water rescue. Those fire companies
provide that interest, then we provide
[30:00] training to those who um do that uh
complete that training and that
[30:05] equipment along with that. So there's
always it it can never function or never
[30:11] facilitates funding to an individual
organization. It has to be part of a
[30:14] regional project that
>> And lastly, Phil, I see that uh
[30:19] reimbursements are acceptable because it
started in November 1, 2025. It goes
[30:26] until August 31st, 2028. So they're a
3-year
[30:30] 3-year term.
>> Yes.
[30:34] » Okay.
Any other questions for Phil? I think
[30:37] there a motion to
uh ex- Are we accepting the grant or are
[30:42] we applying for it? So, approving this
grant. Approving the grant.
[30:46] Approving the grant for South Central
Mountains Regional Counter-Terrorism
[30:50] Task Force.
>> So moved.
[30:53] » Second. All those in favor say I.
Opposed. Thank you. Feel the grant is
[30:57] approved.
We have an agreement with EBA
[31:00] Engineering for an upgrading our ArcGIS
Enterprise. This is for $8,000 and Laura
[31:06] will explain
why we have to do this.
[31:10] » Okay. So, this is basically a scope of
work project to upgrade the entire
[31:15] GIS Enterprise of the county, which will
include the planning, the installation,
[31:20] configuration, and testing
of a new version. So, we work with ESRI
[31:25] and they're continually moving ahead
with multiple versions and we're a
[31:30] little bit behind, so we want to get
caught up.
[31:33] This would include several pieces of our
GIS architecture.
[31:38] Also, connects through 911, so supports
basically our entire GIS
[31:43] GIS operation here. And included in this
is also 300 hours of support afterwards,
[31:50] but
lucky for us, we don't have to stand up
[31:53] any new servers. The last time we did
this, it was a complete migration of
[31:57] everything. So, this is basically just
an upgrade of what we have to a newer
[32:01] version, which would also allow us a
little bit more flexibility with other
[32:05] parts of our GIS that we serve out to
the public and
[32:11] » So, if I go on the website and sometimes
we do that, is it going to look the same
[32:15] or is it going to be
>> No, it'll look the same. Yep.
[32:18] And this also probably affects the other
departments, our emergency service
[32:21] departments.
>> Thank you, Laura. Is there any questions
[32:25] for
Laura?
[32:28] If not, the agreement to sign the
agreement is there a motion to sign the
[32:34] agreement with EBA Engineering for
$8,000?
[32:37] » So moved.
>> Second. All those
[32:38] » in favor, say aye.
>> Aye.
[32:39] » Opposed. Okay, thank you, Lord.
Can we agree with Penn State University
[32:44] for Shavers Creek Environmental Center
Team Develops Program for the CYS?
[32:50] And um
this is continuation of
[32:55] um
not a continuation. We do this every
[32:58] year through CYS. There's a grant that
goes to our department and
[33:08] The grant comes from state.
Um
[33:11] any questions?
Is there a motion to approve the
[33:15] agreement with Penn State?
>> So, moved.
[33:19] » Second.
>> All those in favor, say aye.
[33:20] » Aye.
>> Opposed. Motion carried. We have um
[33:24] Before we get personnel
we have a uh
[33:28] urgent uh change in the agenda. I think
the proper way of doing this is to ask a
[33:36] motion to change the agenda and add the
urgent request. You know, we'll
[33:42] entertain the request.
So, can I have a motion to amend the
[33:47] agenda
for the request? I don't know what title
[33:50] should be.
>> Request
[33:53] continuation grant.
>> Okay, can you uh tell them then 4
[33:57] minutes later? Okay, it's fine, but
please.
[34:02] But
>> Yeah, I'll make a motion to to add that
[34:04] to the agenda.
>> Accept the motion.
[34:06] » Okay, so now it's added.
>> Good morning. Thank you for allowing me
[34:10] to
interrupt your meeting and include this
[34:13] grant as part of it.
Um with the transition between
[34:19] human services with Lisa um leaving and
somebody else taking over the grant,
[34:24] maybe that's where the hiccup came, but
nonetheless um we'll make sure we're
[34:27] moving forward that it doesn't happen
again.
[34:30] Um this grant is our Rasavija grant.
It's a continuation of the adult
[34:35] services and the juvenile services that
we procedure services that we provide.
[34:40] It's a one-year grant. It's for $44,625.
[34:45] And I
need you to approve this grant so we can
[34:48] continue our adult and juvenile
services. Yes, ma'am.
[34:53] » I mean, it's of the essence for this.
>> Yeah, it's
[34:55] um
>> Yeah.
[34:57] » Next week, I think, right? Early next
week. The 8th or something like that.
[35:01] The 8th.
>> Okay.
[35:03] » I don't have that written in front of
me, but I think it's the 8th, if I'm not
[35:06] mistaken.
>> And that's why the agenda has been
[35:10] modified to include this.
Okay. Any other questions? If not, is
[35:15] there a motion to approve the grant?
>> So moved.
[35:17] » Second.
>> All those in favor say I. Any opposed?
[35:20] Thank you. Thank you for bringing it to
our attention.
[35:23] » Yeah, I apologize. I'm sorry.
>> Not a problem.
[35:25] » Thank you.
[35:28] » Last order of business is personnel

[35:32] Schaffer for part-time corrections
