DIRECTORS/GUESTS

1. Bob Kindler, Co-owner of Planet Fitness
   1. Planet Fitness Check presentation to Rick Cagno, Stop!! Weighting to Lose Winner.

Mr. DiFrancesco: It's been a fun past six months and we are here today to acknowledge one of those individuals who achieved an outstanding result from the Stop!! Weighting to Lose program that was inspired by our Wellness Committee. This morning we have the opportunity to acknowledge the achievement of Rick Cagno. I will read the certificate that we have for Rick:

CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION

Presented to Rick Cagno

On this 19th day in July 2006

We are honored to acknowledge and applaud the outstanding achievements of you, winner of the STOP! WEIGHTING TO LOSE competition. You have displayed exemplary self-discipline and dedication in losing more than 94 pounds and 25% of your body weight, representing a true commitment to living a healthier lifestyle. We wish you continued success as you pursue your wellness endeavors and thank you most warmly for providing your co-workers and friends with the thrill of competition and a glowing example of wellness. Congratulations!

I am absolutely amazed that in six months, anybody could achieve what you were able to. You are the example by which I wish I could live by. When I saw the email that went around with the explanation on what you accomplished and how you accomplished it, it sounds so easy but clearly I would love to lose 60 pounds let alone 94 pounds. In addition, I would also want to thank you for being a blood donor who chose to get involved with the County's blood drive. This morning is a wonderful opportunity to congratulate you with a $500 incentive, but to me, the real victory is the fact that you lost so much weight and you have to feel like a completely different person.

Mr. Haste: The stock went down at Giant Store on Linglestown Road when you went on this program.

Mr. Cagno: Chicken's stock went up.

Mr. Haste: My hats off to you in becoming half of the man you used to be. I know this was a good competition. I know someone else who was trying to win this competition also. He was disappointed that he didn't win but I think in the long run his lifestyle is a lot better and he is feeling much better about himself.

Mr. DiFrancesco: We have had a small portion of our employees and we gave them the opportunity to have fun, and if it is the initiative that gets you involved to do it, hopefully when we do the program again, we can look around at the amazing achievements and hope that the competition was fun and honorable. Congratulations. Your story is amazing and I hope others use it as an example to inspire them. Lord knows there would be a lot more people around here healthier if they would lose a portion of what you were able to lose, me being one of them.

(Certificate was presented, pictures were taken, and applause was given.)

Mr. DiFrancesco: I was so excited to congratulate the winner that I forgot the company who made this possible. Dauphin County has had a relationship with Planet Fitness for quite some time where county employees are given incentives to join the health club to promote healthy living. The $500 contribution was provided by them. Bob Kindler is with us today from Planet Fitness, thank you Bob for being such a great partner with Dauphin County and inspiring healthy living among our employees. I go to their club and it is great.

1. John Orr, Director of the Conservation District
   1. Gypsy Moth Spray Program
   2. Agricultural GIS Database

Mr. Orr: Eric Naguski is also with me today. He handles our West Nile program. We do have an outbreak of gypsy moths in Dauphin County. This is the first one in years. I gave you a bar graph that indicates the acreage sprayed over the years since we started the program back in 1974. The gypsy moth is a cycle. It climbs to a peak then it drops off. You have years between the spray program then it drops off. This has been repeated on a regular basis since 1974. For the last four years, we have not had the spray program. I will let Eric get into further detail on what is proposed from the state as far as spraying for 2007. You also will find in your handout an explanation of the request for spraying and photographs that were taken this year by Eric of the outbreak over Peters Mountain as well as the egg masses that are being laid on the trees. You can see here that the white ones are the females laying the eggs and the dark ones are actual egg masses. In documents that I read indicate each one of those masses can have over 100 gypsy moth eggs in them; the larger ones have 1000 gypsy moth eggs in them. To be eligible for the grant historically, you needed 150 egg masses per acre. If I counted corrected, just on one tree, there are 70-80 egg masses on one tree. We will have a significant defoliation next spring without a spray program. Historically, this has always been a suppression program. The Federal and State government consumed a large portion of the cost. The last program that we had, the remaining cost that was not paid by the federal and state government was paid equally by the county and the local municipalities at a cost of $3.50 each per acre per spraying. Residents must call or register and request spraying and Eric will review that. The Conservation Districts role in this historically has been North of Peters Mountain we have been recording the request for spraying because the local governments don't have full time staff to do the recording of the request and South of Peters Mountain, the local governments have full time staff who take phone or walk-in request for spraying of individual tracks. The Conservation District has then gone out and done sections on each request to determine whether that track is eligible for spaying. I will now let Eric talk about the 2007 program and the meeting he attended at the Department of Conservation of Natural Resources.

Mr. Naguski: Last time we had the program we cost shared with the municipalities, the cost was $3.50 an acre. Now it has jumped to $35 an acre. It was explained to me that the reason for that was due to federal cuts to state forest management budget. I was told by DCNR that the spray program that they have now has $300,000 to spray over 125,000 acres at $35 an acre. That is why they are passing the whole cost onto the counties and municipalities. We have at the most 2500 acres that will qualify to get sprayed in 2007. If we were to cost share that out like we did before, we would pay half and the municipalities would pay half, which would come out to $17.50 an acre which is roughly $44,000 for the county and the municipalities to split up. I did speak to Senator Piccola's Office, apparently someone called into them. They were confused and had some different numbers than what we had.

Mr. Haste: I faxed them the sheet that you had given me. They also probably got information from DCNR, which would be my guess. It sounds like that they got one story and what you got at your meeting is another story.

Mr. Naguski: They had not spoken to DCNR yet yesterday when I spoke to them. I tried to call them this morning but they did not return my call yet. He was going to look into it.

Mr. Haste: Did you talk to Chris?

Mr. Naguski: I spoke with Aaron.

Mr. Haste: Chris was who I spoke to.

Mr. Naguski: I spoke to Aaron and he was going to call DCNR.

Mr. Haste: Realistically we are not going to get the municipalities to pay $17.50. We had a struggle getting $3.50 from some of them.

Mr. Naguski: The only municipality that has gotten back to me has been Middle Paxton and they said he may be able to get them to pay $750 total. Those pictures are coming from Middle Paxton on Peters Mountain. That is probably the highest area in the county of infestation. We have not even advertised yet and I am already receiving complaint calls.

Mr. Haste: What would happen if we did not do it?

Mr. Naguski: Those people would lose their trees.

Mr. Orr: It is not a pretty picture.

Mr. Haste: It is just like the black fly program from two years ago when they cut the funding for the black fly program. This is going to sound political, and to some degree I am. They do not have black flies and gypsy moths in Philadelphia. They do not understand the problem. That is why it got cut. It is a Central Pennsylvania issue and we have to deal with it. We have someone who doesn't understand it and doesn't care and we are expected to pay for it. I think something more realistic would be to have the municipalities pay $3.50 an acre, what would our cost be then? Realistically, if we are going to do this, that is where we will be. I suspect if any municipality budgeted for it, they budgeted for it at the old amount, which we did. If we would do a spray this year, when would that occur?

Mr. Naguski: Spring of 2007.

Mr. Orr: When those egg masses that you see in the pictures hatch, that is when the spray would occur, probably May.

Mr. Haste: If I remember right, once we do one spray because of the numbers, we will have to complete another one the following year.

Mr. Orr: Right. That is what that graph shows that these go in a cycle. Either way, it will not be a fun time with whatever decision is made. There is the possibility of passing the cost on to the individual land owner.

Mr. Haste: They could easily pay that because they received the property tax rebate from the state.

Mr. Orr: It is a viable option. There is a lot of paperwork involved. Then when you lay out a spray block which must be 25 acres and you have parcel A, B and D, willing to pay and C isn't, how do we handle that? The paperwork becomes a nightmare itself.

Mr. Haste: How many municipalities do we have infected right now? If we are going to do this with what we know or going back historically, how many municipalities do we have to spray?

Mr. Orr: Historically, it is wide spread, Derry Township, Susquehanna Township, from there north, almost all of it and East Hanover, West Hanover, Lower Paxton, Conewago, Londonderry, anywhere that has forest. We get the most calls from the residential areas. This is intended for suppression in residential areas. There must be residents on it.

Mr. Naguski: So far I have received complaints from Lower Paxton, Halifax Township and Middle Paxton Township. That is without advertising.

Mr. Orr: We need to make a decision by August 1, 2006 on whether we are participating.

Mr. Haste: The state is putting how much into it?

Mr. Orr: None.

Mr. Haste: They are going to pick the supplier and give us the bill. Sounds like a good deal. Why couldn't we do these ourselves? Have we looked at?

Mr. Orr: We have not looked at that but we can.

Mr. Haste: I am assuming that when they fly this, they will fly multiple counties.

Mr. Naguski and Mr. Orr: Right.

Mr. Haste: Not that I don't trust the state, but how do we know that is what they are paying?

Mr. Orr: We don't see that.

Mr. Haste: Could you look into that option for us?

Mr. DiFrancesco: I think that the worst thing that happens is that it is a higher rate and we go with the state plan but maybe we might receive a better rate.

Mr. Haste: Realistically, I don't see us getting anymore than the $3.50 per acre out of the municipalities. Whatever plan that we do, let's plan on $3.50 an acre and somehow eat the rest of it. Thank the Governor.

Mr. Orr: Should we contact the municipalities?

Mr. Haste: Yes.

Mr. Orr: Should we state that, if they would pay $3.50 an acre or don't we want to?

Mr. Haste: I would explain to them what the cost is and tell them we would encourage them to pay their half of it, but knowing full well that realistically we will have to go to the $3.50. If the municipality can pay their half, I think they should. I also know that it is not something they planned for and may be easier for us to pick up than them.

Mr. Orr: The scary thing is when it gets to 7,000 or 8,000 acres.

Mr. Haste: I know. I think right now though that we need to know what that is and plan on it. Planning wise I would only plan on getting $3.50 an acre from the local municipalities.

Mr. DiFrancesco: When would we actually have to pay the bill?

Mr. Orr: January 15, 2007.

Mr. DiFrancesco: They actually could budget for the increase since it is next year's budget. I would strongly encourage them to do so.

Mr. Haste: They would have to understand the acreage too.

Mr. Orr: We don't have that yet at this point. We have an estimate from DCNR for the county but it is not broken down by municipality.

Mr. Naguski: Our role before, like John said was to respond to complaint calls and that is how we judge what needs sprayed. We do not have a full-time forestry position. This will be a little more labor intensive this way also.

Mr. DiFrancesco: Could you define when you said this is for a residential program?

Mr. Naguski: It is a 500 foot buffer around a dwelling is what they spray. If parcel A-D do not add up to 25 acres, they will not spray.

Mr. Orr: It may be advantageous for us to contact all municipalities even if we don't anticipate them needing spraying and we can get better prepared on how to address this too. We will go beyond just those affected this year.

Mr. Haste: We are going to participate and I would prepare for the worst and budget that way.

Mr. Orr and Mr. Naguski: O.k.

Mr. Haste: In the mean time, take some of those down to Kelly Drive in Philadelphia and place them on the trees so they have a few and they can understand them.

Mr. Orr: We have obtained two grants to develop an agricultural GIS Database program in the county. I discussed this with Commissioner Haste and he wanted to make sure we did everything in compliance in accordance to the Information Technology Department. We have a proposal from HRG in the amount of $20,000. $10,000 of the grant would be paid through the county budget under our line item for agriculture land preservation program and we have an item there for professional services, then the Department of Agriculture will reimburse the County for those expenditures. The other $10,000 is a grant with the Conservation District. So this is 100% covered. We need a county signature on the agreement with HRG to provide this technical service to the Conservation District for HRG to set up this GIS system.

Mr. Haste: Please explain the benefit of this.

Mr. Orr: The benefit of this is we will be able to work with the tax parcels and identify all of the agriculture areas in the county and identify all who have a conservation plan in the county. We will be able to note what every parcel needs to come up to a fully implemented conservation plan, what best management practices are needed, we can use that to apply for grants in the future such as Growing Greener. We would be able to print out a watershed and say this is the improvements that need to be made to that watershed. Another impact could be, with the avian flu, we would have on that all of the farms that have poultry should we have some type of an outbreak. We would have that information accessible to us regarding the agricultural land that has all been preserved, the ones who are requesting it and the status of all of them. That is all recorded in this program. It is a good investment and good toll for us to have. We could then in the future expand it on to other programs and keep up-to-date with all the other programs in the County.

Mr. Haste: Do you have that document with you?

Mr. Orr: Yes. I gave Chad a copy and I have a copy also.

Mr. DiFrancesco: Question to the Information Technology Department, when we do these types of projects, does that fully integrate with what is going on? For instance, would EMA then be able to use that for instance with crop damage during a hail storm? Could they use it in other Departments of the County once they centralize it?

Mr. Guenther: Yes.

Mr. Haste: Unless I am missing it, I do not see it under Items Requiring Board Action so we would need a vote at this time. Is there a motion to approve the request?

Mr. DiFrancesco made the motion and Mr. Haste seconded the motion to approve a $20,000 contract with HRG for an Agricultural GIS Database. All were in favor. Motion carried.

PERSONNEL

Ms. Sinner: I have an addendum. We are requesting permission to fill the part-time weekend recyclable materials collector assistant position and MH/MR has a hire of a caseworker supervisor and a transfer of an employee from the Prison to MDJ Smith's Office. There is also a change in start date for the employees going to Postelle's Office.

On Item # 3, the step should be 17. No changes to last week's packet.

Mr. DiFrancesco made the motion to approve the Personnel Packet as amended. Mr. Haste seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion carries.

PURCHASE ORDERS

Mr. Baratucci: We do have a couple of additions to the packet since last week. On the front page, a couple months ago we did a purchase order for the HAVA voting machines upgrades. We did two purchase orders at that time, one for Electech and one for Danaher. We thought that payments would be made to each company. We were incorrect and they need to go to just Electech. This is replacing the two previous purchase orders. All of the money will be going to Electech.

Mr. Haste: So Danaher is a sub of Electech?

Mr. Baratucci: I am not really sure. We went over the contract with Mr. Benevetano and it states the payments go to Electech. We did verify everything.

Mr. DiFrancesco: It stacks up legally and you are ok with everything?

Mr. Beneventano: Yes.

Mr. Baratucci: The next addition is on page nine. There was a request from Commissioner Haste for Information Technology for a couple of printers for the District Attorney's Office. They were still working on them last week and finalized costs. On page eleven, it is still showing over budget but that has been taken care of. These are for citations that we hand out to the municipalities and it wasn't fixed prior to my printing of the report but now it is. The funds come out of the District Justice's/Deputy Court Administrator's budget. The packet stands as presented.

Mr. DiFrancesco made the motion to approve the Purchase Order Packet. Mr. Haste seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion carries.

COMMISSIONERS DISCUSSION & ACTIONS

Mr. Haste: I understand there was some discussion last week on bridge inspections after the flood. I had my monthly meeting with Brian Emberg on our bridges and he asked that we approve a contract. He did explore some of the ideas that Commissioner Hartwick had and none of them panned out. They did get a quote in from JBeitz Enterprises to remove debris from the bridges as well as to repave the Duke Street Bridge for a cost of $62,500.00. They asked if we would approve that. They have done work for us in the past. The next bidder was Jay Fulkroad at $235,000.00. Are there any questions?

Mr. DiFrancesco: You figure, it is main season. I knew that it would not be pretty.

Mr. Haste: This company has done work for us before. Duke Street seems to be a frequent visit for them. Is there a motion to approve that?

Commissioner DiFrancesco made the motion to approve JBeitz Enterprises for a price of $62,500.00 for removal of debris for bridges as well as repavement of Duke Street. Mr. Haste seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion carries.

Mr. Haste: A bridge went down in Juniata County and PENNDOT has been looking at it closely. It is a bridge design that is causing problems. We have five of those in our county. One being county owned. All five are gong to require low posting adjustments. All are posted now. The low posting is going to come down. I asked if that will affect emergency vehicles or buses and I was told that the load posting is not low enough now that it would affect it. That is going to be moving forward. They will be notifying the four municipalities which is Susquehanna, Swatara, Jackson Township and Harrisburg City of their particular bridge. Then we are going to re-post ours in Conewago Township on Engle Road. It is a bridge that is shared between us and Lancaster. Those will be honored in the next bridge inspection and see where they stand.

Mr. DiFrancesco: This is the first year that we had tried to promote the Ride to Work Day national campaign to bring greater awareness in motorcycle safety and the benefits that come along with riding bikes to work. I want to thank the employees who did ride their bikes to work. They are lined out in front of the Administration Building. It is an impressive lot of bikes. Stop out at lunch time if you have the time and look. Motorists need to be out there watching. There are a lot more motorcycles on the road now and with greater congestion on the highways, it is a greater challenge. Take some time to promote motorcycle safety and awareness.
