[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 items. We have the hiring of Alexis

[35:32] Schaffer for part-time corrections officer. We have the resignation of

[35:36] Holden Fleming from part-time corrections officer. We have the hiring

[35:39] of Addis Blaine, field assessor. We have the resignation of Michael Jones

[35:45] the end at the Rexford facility. And we have the

[35:49] transfer of Tracy Ferguson from deputy register recorder

[35:53] register and recorder to tax services clerk.

[35:57] Are there a motion to approve these five personnel items?

[36:01] » So moved. >> Second.

[36:03] » All those in favor say I. Any opposed?
