Bucks County meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Bucks County agendas list $6M-plus in contracts, farm easement, but no minutes yet

Three Bucks County government bodies were scheduled to meet in the past two weeks, but the records available as of October 26 are agendas only. Minutes have not been published for any of the three, so this roundup reports what was listed for consideration — not what was decided.

Commissioners: contracts, grant and a farm easement on the Oct. 21 agenda

The County Commissioners' October 21 agenda lists several contract items, a federal grant acceptance and a land preservation purchase for consideration. No vote results were available in the supplied record.

• Agricultural conservation easement for the Brown farm in Bedminster Township, $92,937.50.
• Contract with Salisbury Behavioral Health, LLC, $3,372,698, for residential services.
• Acceptance of a $2,747,251 U.S. Department of Justice grant for a Federal Anti-Trafficking Partnership.
• Contract with Bucks County Drug & Alcohol Commission, Inc., $2,619,100, for Opioid Use Disorder services.
• Contract with Stonewood Landscaping, Inc., $190,000, for trail relocation in Oxford Valley Park.

The agenda summary also states the commissioners would consider service contracts for behavioral health, human services and election administration, and lists votes on several board appointments. Individual dollar amounts for the election administration contracts were not included in the supplied summary.

What the listed items cover: a conservation easement on farmland in Bedminster Township; residential behavioral health services; opioid use disorder services; anti-trafficking work funded by a federal grant; and trail relocation work at Oxford Valley Park.

Prison Oversight Board: reports and public comment

The Prison Oversight Board was scheduled to meet October 14. Its agenda lists acceptance of the September 9, 2026 meeting minutes, review of the September 2026 Controller's Report, the Director of Corrections' Report, sub-committee reports, and a period for public comment. No minutes from the October 14 meeting have been published.

Retirement Board: monthly contribution and benefit figures

The Retirement Board was scheduled to meet October 21 to accept the September 16, 2026 meeting minutes and review the September secretary report. The agenda lists these September 2026 figures:

• Member refunds: $66,102 for 7 former employees
• Pension benefits: $5,289,861 for 2,072 retirees
• Death benefit payments: $962 for 3 deceased retirees

The agenda otherwise consists of procedural items and public comment.

Coming up

The supplied data lists no upcoming meetings for the next 14 days. That reflects a gap in the record provided, not evidence that nothing is scheduled; residents should check the county's official meeting calendar for confirmed dates, times and locations.

A note on sourcing: all three entries above are marked "agenda only (minutes not yet published)." Items listed for consideration should not be read as approved, and amounts shown are those stated in the agendas.

Bucks County agendas list $9.25M Warrington office building purchase and behavioral health contracts; no minutes yet published

Bucks County's October meeting agendas put a $9,250,000 office building purchase and two behavioral health contracts before the County Commissioners, along with a Plumstead Township comprehensive plan presentation at the Planning Commission. All four meetings summarized here are documented by agendas only — no minutes have been published — so the record does not show whether any item was approved, amended, or tabled.

Commissioners: office building, contracts, easement on October 7 agenda

The County Commissioners' October 7, 2026 agenda lists a purchase and sales agreement with Kelly Road Associates, LP for an office building at 2600 Kelly Rd in Warrington Twp for $9,250,000.

The same agenda lists:

• A Certificate of Approval for QSH/EAST PENNSYLVANIA, LLC for a bond issuance not to exceed $60,000,000.
• A contract with Woods Community Services, LLC for $2,000,000 to start up a Mental Health Acute Inpatient Unit.
• A contract with Resources for Human Development, Inc. for $1,992,167 for long term structured residential services.
• An agricultural conservation easement for the Maychuk Farm on Log Cabin Road in Bedminster Township for $75,720.

The meeting summary describes these as consent agenda items under review, alongside numerous healthcare and social service contracts and various infrastructure and security upgrades. Because minutes are not yet available, the amounts above are agenda figures, not confirmed expenditures.

Planning Commission: Plumstead plan presentation, Act 247 reviews

The Bucks County Planning Commission met Wednesday, October 7, 2026 at 2:00 PM. Its agenda included approval of minutes from the September 2, 2026 meeting, the Executive Director's report, and a presentation on the Plumstead Township Comprehensive Plan — Plumstead Forward by Senior Planner Jeremy Stoff.

Salary Board: procedural agenda only

The Salary Board's October 7, 2026 agenda consists of procedural boilerplate. The board was scheduled to review minutes from the September 2, 2026 meeting and approve previous Salary Board actions. No specific items were listed.

Prison Oversight Board: reports scheduled for October 14

The Prison Oversight Board met October 14, 2026 to review the September 2026 Controller's Report and the Director of Corrections' Report. The agenda also listed acceptance of minutes from the September 9, 2026 meeting, sub-committee reports, and a period for public comment.

Coming up

The supplied data lists no upcoming meetings for the next 14 days. That absence reflects the information provided for this roundup and does not establish that no county meetings are scheduled; residents should confirm dates and agendas with the county before attending.

For the meetings above, the linked official agendas are the authoritative record. Minutes, once published, will show what each body actually decided.

Bucks County Commissioners to weigh $9.25 million Warrington office building purchase

The item sits alongside social service contracts, a bond issuance approval, and an agricultural conservation easement. Only the agenda has been published — minutes are not yet available — so none of these items is confirmed as decided.

The agenda lists a purchase and sales agreement with Kelly Road Associates, LP for the office building at 2600 Kelly Rd, Warrington Twp, at $9,250,000.

What is confirmed — and what is not

All three October 7 meetings are documented here by agenda only; minutes have not been published. The records reviewed therefore do not establish that any item was approved, rejected, amended, or voted on, and no vote tallies are available. The dollar amounts above are as listed on the agendas.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings were listed in the data provided for the next 14 days. Readers who want to follow the items above should check the county's published agendas and minutes for the October 7 meetings, which are the next scheduled opportunities to see whether the commissioners act on the Warrington property purchase and the related contracts.

Bucks County Commissioners weigh $771.7 million behavioral health contract; Retirement Board to act on leave purchase

Bucks County's commissioners were scheduled this week to vote on a $771,690,481 agreement with Magellan Behavioral Health of Pennsylvania for the HealthChoices Behavioral Health program — by far the largest dollar item on a packed agenda that also included intellectual disability services, election software upgrades, and a loan guarantee for the African American Museum of Bucks County. Minutes for the meeting have not yet been published, so the outcomes of the listed votes are not yet confirmed in the record.

County Commissioners (July 15)

The commissioners' agenda listed five notable items for action:

• **$771,690,481** contract with Magellan Behavioral Health of Pennsylvania for the HealthChoices Behavioral Health Agreement, with a 0% county share.

• **$158,145** increase and amendment of the contract with Clear Ballot Group for the state-certified ClearVote election software.
• **$151,335** HUD Continuum of Care Planning Grant approval.

Because the meeting record is agenda-only at this point, the article cannot confirm whether each item was approved, amended, or tabled. The official minutes, once published, will be the authoritative record.

Retirement Board (July 15)

The Bucks County Employees' Retirement Board was scheduled to accept minutes from its June 17, 2026 meeting and hear a secretary report for June.
