DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS/GUESTS

1. Commissioners
   1. Presentation of Proclamations to artists who participated in Kitefest: Attendees: Betsy Oberheim; Kelley Maurer; Lisa Koup; Ruth Ann Klinger; Ben Nelson; and Stacey Miller

Mr. DiFrancesco: It is the Board's honor to take a few moments of this meeting to present honors to a group of very talented individuals and give them great credit. We sit up here all the time and talk about the quality of life in Dauphin County. There is no doubt that we are Dauphin County proud and that the greatest place to live in the world is in Dauphin County. There are a lot of reasons for that. One of those reasons of course is our rich art heritage. We were able to tap some very fine and talented people to assist Dauphin County in our investment towards the Whitaker Center and KiteFest to have kites flying outside of this area of Harrisburg. Once again it was an overwhelming success. We all know how CowParade inspired people. I was one of those people during the parade and was slightly skeptical wondering why they would do that. It was probably one of the most thrilling events that we have experienced here in Central PA. I was one of the many people that ran around to all the different places to look at all of the different cows. When they announced the fact that we were going to do KiteFest I was equally excited. All of you made this event an overwhelming success. It was so much fun because it gave an opportunity for many of the historical sites and activities to be identified. It just promoted how wonderful this area is. It indicated how richly blessed we are to live here with such a high quality of life. All of you are part of that and a part of this history forever. With that I would like to read a proclamation with your indulgence. I will just read one proclamation from the Board and then I will introduce all the artists that are here and ask you all to come forward as I read your name and we will present the proclamations by the flags and get a picture with the group.

Office of County Commissioner
Dauphin County, Pennsylvania

Proclamation

We, the Dauphin County Board of Commissioners, take great pride and pleasure in joining the community at large in honoring highly respected local artist and retired teacher Betsy Oberheim for her participation in KiteFest 2006;

Whereas, this summer-long outdoor and indoor public art exhibition created the excitement of a treasure hunt, while celebrating the talents of local artists with the entire community and raising funds for Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts;

Whereas, more than 180 local artists and some of the finest kite designers and builders in the country contributed to making KiteFest a distinctive celebration of the arts, science and culture;

Whereas, this festival featured various types of kites and displays, ranging from lamppost kites, sculpture kites, and sky galleries, in which colorful, original kites hung from the ceilings of Whitaker Center, Strawberry Square and Harrisburg's City Hall;

Whereas, similar to the wildly popular Cow Parade Harrisburg, Kitefest dramatically heightened the profile of the region's thriving arts community, and enticed visitors and tourist to sightsee throughout this revitalized area;

Whereas, Mrs. Oberheim painted a vibrant lamppost kite entitled "Susquehannock Memory", which was hung in the vicinity of the Dauphin County Courthouse in the first for all to enjoy;

Therefore, we join the 253,000 residents of Dauphin County in thanking Betsy Oberheim for the selfless contribution of her time and talent to this worthwhile cause; we applaud her commitment to artistic excellence and devotion to the community at large; and we wish her continued success in her many endeavors, as both an artist and a continually rising star in the community.

With that I want that proclamation to reflect on all of your talents and all of your investments. I would like to introduce the group to everyone in the room. The first is Betsy Oberheim and her kite was "Susquehannock Memory". Gene Suchma could not be here but he painted a kite featuring the Dauphin County Library System and a map of all the cultural landmarks. Kelly Maurer, who's painting is listed as untitled, is there a name?

Ms. Maurer: "Dave."

Mr. DiFrancesco: Lisa Koup painted "Rubber Duck Regatta". Ruth Ann Klinger painted a kite featuring the Millersburg Gazebo and the Henninger Farm Covered Bridge. Ben Nelson's kite is entitled "Watching". Finally, Stacey Miller painted a kite featuring historic churches and buildings of Middletown.

If all in the room would join me in a round of applause for these talented people. (Applause were given and pictures were taken.)

Mr. Haste: I'd just like to echo Nick's comments and say thank you to the audience. As we are sitting here looking at them each one brought back a memory and I just want to share. The Rubber Duck Regatta I was thinking, I don't know if Gary Serhan remembers this, but the very first one, the first time I knew that was going on, Serhan shook me down for the regatta. That's what I thought of as soon as I saw that one. Thank you all.

1. Mark Stewart, Esq. & Scott Burford, Spring Creek Administrator
   1. Spring Creek

Mr. Stewart: Good morning. I am pleased to be before you this morning to report that the sale of Spring Creek has been finalized. It closed on Friday, December 22, 2006, which is much later than any of us had hoped. This, as you are very much aware, has been a lengthy process that wasn't easy and had its starts and stops but it did happen. From what I understand the transition has gone very smoothly. The purchase funds hit our account Friday evening so they are definitely there. We had some excitement brought to us at the very end by the Department of Health who came in and took a trainee through and decided to, in a draft survey result, point out things that had been that way for 30 years and many other survey's that they had come through and never before noted or raised with us which spooked the buyers lender a little bit, but to their credit the department was actually very accommodating. They recognized the issues for the minor issues that they were and processed the plan of correction that Scott ably put together immediately and helped get us to the finish line.

I believe it was $13,855,000 that was put into the account on Friday. The rest of the funds between that and $14,350,000 was related to the hold-back for the repairs to the boiler. The estimates that we have and the contractor that they will be using came in much lower than that $400,000 hold-back so we should receive the excess funds whenever the work is completed. Otherwise there are a few things that we have to clean up. The separation of the electricity and the steam has to proceed. The Housing Authority has to approve an easement yet, but they are running the facility. Scott can speak to the transition. I know they have plans made for improvements out there to start right away and make a splash to make sure the community knows it is going to continue to be a high quality provider and hopefully a facility of choice in Dauphin County and the region.

Mr. Burford: Naturally when you have a transition of this magnitude there is going to be a high level of detail at the time when we turn over the key, so to speak. Even though the operation was large, the transition went very smoothly. We had processed out approximately 300 employees right at the change of shifts. Overall it went very well. I would just like to point out a couple of things since the transition. Naturally what we have left at a staff level is as Mark pointed out; we still need to process a number of payables. We also need to process some receivables. In addition to that we need to continue terminating vendor agreements and things of that nature, high level details. I will say that since the transition there have not been any family complaints. There has been one resident complaint and that was unrelated to the transition itself. Overall I feel that the transition went very smooth. I would like to open it up for any questions if you might have some.

Mr. Haste: Are they fully staffed right now?

Mr. Burford: Yes they are fully staffed. I was on-site yesterday and I do believe they were continuing to hire staff in some of the ancillary departments such as maintenance, that sort of thing. They still rely on agency for some of the nurses and clinical staff at this point.

Mr. DiFrancesco: What was the census when we turned it over?

Mr. Burford: 254.

Mr. Haste: They still have plans to move that up?

Mr. Burford: Yes, they still have plans to move that up. In fact, they desire to open up all 404 beds. That was the last report that I had received from them.

Mr. Haste: Did they give you any time frame?

Mr. Burford: No. No definite time frame. They did say it would be after the new year.

Mr. Haste: I just think that is an important point that we need to keep at the forefront. We don't want people to forget about that. When we were going through this people were concerned about losing beds. This is actually an opportunity to gain beds in the region. That is a point we shouldn't lose site of.

Mr. Hartwick: Just a couple questions if I could. I want to commend Wolf Block and Scott during a very difficult time in making a transition. I know persistence is probably a key word here. As you are also aware I have opposed the sale and I have been very clear in my reasons why, however I do want to commend you all for your good job.

One of the things I would like to suggest, and I said it during the public hearings and I know the Board is committed to this, is to continue to be a watch dog for the residents of Dauphin County. We need to ensure a high level and quality of care. Also I think it is appropriate and I am sure my colleagues here want to join me. I would like to set up a tour within the next 2 weeks of the facility. So we get to meet all of the key players, the nursing home administrator and to begin to develop an open relationship. One of the things that we discussed initially was the ability and the requirement to keep 216 medical assistance beds at that facility. I don't know how many of the 254 census right now and where they are at with that 216 mark. Maybe you can answer that question for me first.

Mr. Burford: I don't have an exact number for you right now, but it was greater than the 216 threshold. I would say somewhere around 230.

Mr. Hartwick: One of the things that was important for us too was to try and contractually agree with Continuum to allow our Area Agency on Aging to be the first point of contact in trying to identify individual seniors who may be MA eligible. I want to reiterate that obligation to Continuum and to also make sure that the people who are in the nursing home facility when we drop below that threshold are not individuals who have high acuity, maybe not a whole lot of need and who are going to be used to gain a higher reimbursement rate. We are very clear that we are trying to get people based upon a format that we can probably all agree upon, based upon their need, socioeconomic status and a number of other factors. We should be getting individuals into those beds based upon all of those factors, not just the ability to get a higher reimbursement rate. That is an open discussion I will have with Continuum. I want to make sure we are all on the same page. I just want to make sure that we are very clear that just because we have turned over the keys doesn't mean we still don't have an obligation to the individuals that exist in that facility. As a matter of fact we will probably double, at least myself, the efforts of trying to pay very close attention to the individuals that are admitted to the high level of quality care and also to establish a relationship in order to obtain the referrals from our Area Agency on Aging. With that being said again, I just wanted to commend all of the individuals who were involved out there. I opposed the sale for specific reasons through a very difficult process. I think everybody maintained their professionalism. Everybody maintained a sense of honor and I am hoping that honor is kept by this company in order to run that facility with the expectations that I and this Board set. Just because the sale is final doesn't mean we are going away, it only means that we are going to step up our efforts in making sure that quality of care stays and their commitment to those medical assistance beds stay in the region. Thanks.

Mr. DiFrancesco: Scott, do you have any idea when the boiler and the renovations will begin? I would assume that any time a construction project is in play it may be a time where people have questions and families have questions. I would assume we will still be getting some contact from families.

Mr. Stewart: The boiler, that specific type of boiler, takes about 15 weeks to actually get on-site. There may be some site prep work that starts early in 2007, but my guess is you won't see that construction activity until May.

Mr. DiFrancesco: Is there any renovation expectations for the two floors on McBride or the entire McBride Building?

Mr. Stewart: No.

Mr. DiFrancesco: Okay. I agree with Commissioner Hartwick in terms of us getting together to meet with the key players because up until this point I know I haven't had the opportunity to meet them. I don't know how many of them changed. I am assuming some of our key staff over there are remaining in their positions.

Mr. Burford: That is correct.

Mr. DiFrancesco: I know there are going to be some new faces so it would be a very good idea for us to get together with them at their earliest convenience. I'd like to chat with them and see how things are moving along.

The only other thing I want to say and again this is really echoing Commissioner Hartwick. You guys throughout have done a remarkable job. Wolf Block, Scott, the entire transition team have done a remarkable job dealing with a situation that was not the easiest. We all know there were some real bumps along the way. Yet at every turn the one thing that was held always intact was the integrity of the process, the fact that it was an open process and the fact that the laws of the Commonwealth were always abided by and the regulations of the Department of Health and Welfare were always abided by. For that I want to commend you for the excellent job that you have done for the people of Dauphin County. I know it wasn't easy. I realize it was a lot of heavy lifting, but you guys did it extremely well. Thank you.

Mr. Stewart: Thank you Commissioners. In that spirit I did want to commend, as well, the many people here at the county who were invaluable to the whole process, Garry Esworthy, Tom Guenther and John Doebling. They were constantly working with the buyer and going the extra mile to help them out. Edgar Cohen, Randy Baratucci, Mike Yohe, Bruce Foreman and Bill Tully and of course Chad, who believe it or not, was very helpful. Scott was unbelievably vital to the whole process and is an incredibly talented person. One last point I forgot to mention we did retain 50% of the deposit. It was not applied to the sale price to help defray some of the county's costs for the delay. That total is $75,000. I know it is not a tremendous amount, but it is not a small amount either.

Mr. Hartwick: That is better than the history we have had with recovering resources.

Mr. Haste: Right.

Mr. Stewart: Thank you.

All: Thank you.

Mr. Hartwick: Scott, we will try to get together with our schedules and try to arrange that meeting, with the folks from Aging as well.

1. Garry Esworthy, Risk Manager
   1. Excess Workers' Compensation Insurance Proposal - Midwest Employers Casualty Company.

Mr. Esworthy: Sorry for the lateness of this, but for various reasons we had to hold off on the worker's compensation policy this year. We went out for bid on this and we were using Marsh as our broker and they came back with one, which was Midwest Employers Casualty, and you will see that in front of you.

Sheet number two, in the upper right hand corner you will notice is what we are going to be going with. It reflects a reduction of about $17,000 from taking Spring Creek out of the equation. We elected to go with $750,000 statutory retention and we elected to go with the 2 year plan. Going with 2 years saves us another 10% and it also allows us to eliminate any claims that occur within that 2 year period. If we go on a year-to-year basis with Midwest or any other excess carrier they are going to look at the claims that we had in that current year. We elected to look at this option. I am bringing this to you for your approval today. It is on the agenda later on for Commissioners' Action.

We are going with a 2 year plan for $111,156.00 and $750,000 retention. I spoke to Mike about this.

Mr. Haste: How much is in the budget?

Mr. Esworthy: We budgeted $150,000 initially on this. So we are well below that. Also, as of Friday, I terminated the property and the professional liability for the nursing home as well. The property, just for your information, was running about $26,000 a year for the insurance. The liability insurance was running $137,000 a year. We will be getting back approximately $14,000 on the property for this year and we will be getting about 13% of $136,000 back and then we will be getting our care assessment back from the State also. So we will be seeing about $30,000 back on that also. Any questions? (There were none.)

SALARY BOARD

A full set of Salary Board Meeting minutes is on file in the Chief Clerk's office.

PERSONNEL

Ms. Sinner: I have an addendum for the Personnel Packet. There are no changes on the one that I presented last week. Are there any questions on either one?

Mr. Hartwick: I see we changed all of the hiring dates to meet the windows, am I correct?

Ms. Sinner: We do have one new hire in Court Administration. That is a January hire date, but that needed to be done.

Mr. Hartwick: I was specifically referring to the Public Defenders.

Ms. Sinner: That is correct. That was changed.

Mr. Haste: Is there a motion to approve the Personnel Packet?

It was moved by Mr. Hartwick and seconded by Mr. DiFrancesco to approve the Personnel Packet as presented; motion carried.

PURCHASE ORDERS

Mr. Baratucci: There were a couple of last minute items that came up on the Purchase Orders. I believe the Juvenile Probation one was discussed with Commissioner DiFrancesco and the one for the Coroner was discussed with Commissioner Haste. They are both there for your approval unless you have any questions.

It was moved by Mr. Hartwick and seconded by Mr. DiFrancesco to approve the Purchase Order packet as presented; motion carried.

Mr. Baratucci: Attached to the Purchase Order packet was one BlackBerry request which I think you all have discussed and if we could vote on that today because we will be making the switch over to the Nextel products in January and we would like to include that in the new ones.

It was moved by Mr. DiFrancesco and seconded by Mr. Haste to approve the BlackBerry request for Diane McNaughton. Mr. Haste-aye. Mr. DiFrancesco-aye. Mr. Hartwick-no. Motion carries.

No T.R.A.N. Line of Credit required for 2006.

Mr. DiFrancesco: Just one question and I realize that it is a bit early and premature to be asking this, but now that the deal is done obviously we are going to need a report on the true impact to the county budget and what this is going to mean ultimately. I know it is early because as was mentioned there are accounts receivable pending that we still need to deal with and a lot of money changing hands to ultimately get the deal done. We are going to be looking to you to give us input in terms of what this sale will actually mean in future budgets. We are finally at the point where we can find out in real terms what this is going to mean.

Mr. Yohe: As you can see I think I gave a little bit of a report on that when we passed the budget. We did include a little bit over $2 million next year kind of as a contingency. I hope not to have to use that next year, but really in the 2007 budget our transfer to Spring Creek dropped from $6 million to a little bit over $2 million in 2007. Hopefully we won't have to use all that and then we shouldn't have anything after that. The sale price is all being applied to the debt and that is going to greatly reduce our obligation in that area, more than half of what we were paying. It is going to be significant. Like you said I don't have all the numbers right now. There is a big hit on indirect costs that is going to come in. Now with Garry's report and the insurance I haven't really taken that into account at all.

Mr. DiFrancesco: I'd like to see us track all those costs that are saved in terms of insurance costs and everything else that goes down and make that as easy to read as possible in terms of the Board's and the public's understanding of exactly what this impact is to the budget. I would say next year in the budget process we will have a real good handle on what it is. It will be significant on the financial end.

Mr. Haste: Thank you.
