Team members: Meghan Barry, Megan Bucher, Ashley Carfagno, Beth Carlson, Ellie Davis, Sarah Devos, Julia Gallo, Cara Gauker, Datelyn Hilgers, Jessica Horch, Kasey Jordan, Bethany McClain, Maria McDonald, Marissa McDonald, Andrea Mummert, Katie Rice, Kelsey Riley, Katelyn Swoyer, Casey Summerlin, Allison Tully, Erin Tully, Jessica Yingst.

Mr. DiFrancesco: Thank you Mr. Chairman. We have a tremendous opportunity to recognize some outstanding young people. If you look around the room you will notice a whole group of young people who are dressed the same, they are in uniform this morning. I think in order to really tell you all why we are so proud of your accomplishment I have to go into a little bit about what we do.

What we are responsible for as a county is providing a lot of Human Services to a lot of people who are in some sort of need in their life. Many of those young people that we serve have made some difficult choices in their lives. They have chosen to go down roads that are not appropriate. It is always a pleasure when we have the opportunity to see a group of young people who have worked so hard and achieved so much using their skills and talents in very positive ways. It is with great pride this morning that I have the opportunity to sit here and read to you all a proclamation from the Board.

Office of County Commissioner
Dauphin County, Pennsylvania

Proclamation

We, the Dauphin County Board of Commissioners, are honored to acknowledge and applaud the outstanding athletic achievements of Meghan Barry, Megan Bucher, Ashley Carfagno, Beth Carlson, Ellie Davis, Sarah Devos, Julia Gallo, Cara Gauker, Katelyn Hilgers, Jessica Horch, Kasey Jordan, Bethany McClain, Maria McDonald, Marissa McDonald, Andrea Mummert, Katie Rice, Kelsey Riley, Katelyn Swoyer, Casey Summerlin, Allison Tully, Erin Tully and Jessica Yingst, the Twin Ponds Reflections team;

Whereas, the Twin Ponds Reflections team, coached by Amy Henderson and Debbie Sheaffer, had an outstanding season, ending with the ISI National Synchronized Skating Championship victory;

Whereas, this team of 21 skaters, ranging from ages 9 to 15, competed in the senior youth division against the top 18 teams from across the nation ;

Whereas, the achievements and evident character of these talented young girls have brought honor and recognition to themselves, the close-knit community and this very grateful county of Dauphin;

Whereas, inside and outside the skating rink, these young girls are winners in every sense of the word;

Therefore, we join the 251,300 residents of Dauphin County in hailing the much-admired skaters and wishing them continued success in life; we thank them for providing fans with not only the thrill of competition and the glimmer of trophies, but, more importantly, with enhanced unity, pride and enduring hope; and, in honor of their accomplishments and ideals, we do hereby proudly declare May 3, 2006 to be "Twin Ponds Reflections Day" in Dauphin County.

(Applause were given and pictures were taken.)

Mr. DiFrancesco: This is a very timely award. Commissioner Haste and I were at the Boy Scout breakfast this morning and we had a speaker come up this morning and it was a young man who was getting his Eagle Scout Award and he made mention of the fact that Eagle Scout is not really an award but it is an accomplishment because you have to earn it. The distinction that each and every one of you have that you should take pride in today is, this was not something that was handed to you. This is something that each and every one of you worked very hard to accomplish and in fact you went out there and got it done when you had to. Congratulations on your accomplishment. Thank you for the effort and the sacrifice that you make. I also want to thank the parents for the sacrifices that they make. I am assuming, because it is skating, you probably have practice at some ungodly hour. Usually skaters tend to be there at 5am. Thank you all for coming out today and it is with great honor that this Board wishes to congratulate you. Any other comments?

Mr. Haste: Just following on what Nick said. I thought he was going to say that this young man talked about sacrifice. I think to accomplish what you have accomplished that entails some sacrifice. Meaning sometimes there are other things that you would rather do that you had to give up so that you could go out and fine tune your skills to do this. It is also a sacrifice for parents and those others that are involved in this.

The other thing is whether you realize it or not you are now role models. At a very young age there are others who are looking up to you and your accomplishments. With that comes responsibility. It doesn't come easily and others will be watching what you do. Keep that in mind as you move forward. Whether you knew that or not you now are role models and will be setting the tone for many other young people to come.

Mr. Hartwick: I was extremely impressed when I reviewed your tape with Mr. Tully and saw the incredible moves that you have, including the one that you went forwards and then turned backwards. I got nervous and held my breath for a moment making sure I didn't see anybody lying on the ice. It takes a great deal of practice, effort and commitment. The lesson learned from this organized sport is going to carry through for the rest of your life with teamwork, extra effort, commitment. Those things are things that you learn through your accomplishments and through your efforts. Most importantly or impressive for me was that it was great to see that when you were announced at the event..as you know, as the former Mayor of Steelton, you gave Steelton Borough national recognition for this event. I want to thank all of you for your hard work efforts. It was outstanding. I was extremely impressed and hopefully we will see one or many of you in the Olympics someday. Keep up your dreams and hard work. Your future is bright and it will only be what you make of it. Once again congratulations.

(The performance was played, applause was given, certificates were handed out and photos were taken.)

Mr. DiFrancesco: Would any of the girls like to share their experience at all?

Ms. Katie Rice: We just want to say thank you for this. It has been a great year and we are very excited about it. Thank you.

Mr. DiFrancesco: How long have you been skating?

Ms. Rice: 7 years.

Mr. DiFrancesco: 7 years. So this is not the end, right? Will you continue?

Ms. Rice: Yes.

Ms. Katelyn Hilgers: I just want to say thanks.

1. Presentation of a Foster Parent Proclamation.

Mr. Hartwick: It gives me great pleasure today to join my colleagues in Dauphin County in commemorating Foster Parent Recognition Month here in Dauphin County. I know as a parent with a new addition, a fourth child now, that raising ones own kids is such a challenge and a task let alone what it takes for individuals to raise children who may have serious abandonment, abuse, anxieties and issues of neglect. To do it only on a temporary basis takes a huge heart. Even though it takes a big heart, a big heart alone certainly won't help these children. Foster parents know that their home is only temporary and that the goal is to safely reunite the children with their birth families or move them into permanent homes. On average at any given time in Dauphin County we have about 250 kids that are in foster care. Children are there as a result of abuse and/or severe neglect through no fault of their own. This is Foster Care Recognition month, which honors foster parents but also everyone else in the life of every other foster home. It takes a support system and a real network of assistance, not just individuals to care for these young children. Foster parents and all those that surround these very special families are people who believe in the concept of helping out others and they demonstrate that belief each and every day with our most precious gift, the children. These folks are truly changing the world, one person at a time. I had some statistics put together. In Dauphin County we are always looking for more foster parents. Just so you know and for those of you who are involved, we appreciate any way that you can get the word out. Currently in Dauphin County we have 27 children that are awaiting adoptive foster parents. To give them that gift in a time of real need would probably be one of the most important gifts that you could ever give in your life. I don't know if my wife with four kids at home would be willing to venture into that area because we have enough challenges, but for those special individuals in the community who are willing to give up their time and effort, it is sorely needed for the kids who need the help. 65% of Pennsylvania's waiting children are adopted by their foster families. In 2005 we had 29 adoptions and thus far in 2006 we have had 8 adoptions. Placement goals in the last quarterly report detailed 126 children had placement goal of return home while 90 had a placement goal with a place of adoption. Any adult, now this is the cry out, over the age of 21 can become a foster parent by meeting the state requirements, attending foster parent orientation and proceeding through the home study process to the foster home approval. Every agency has their own standards for approval, which are limited outside of regulations. Foster parents come from all walks of life. We have single and married foster parents. Parents that stay home, work full-time and part-time. Several are also going to school. With that we hope you help us get the word out about the need for foster parents in Dauphin County and in honor of foster care recognition month the Board of Commissioners has prepared a proclamation that states:

Office of County Commissioner
Dauphin County, Pennsylvania

Proclamation

We, the Dauphin County Board of Commissioners, are delighted to join communities across the nation in thanking foster families, child welfare professionals, and individuals in our community who are helping to provide Dauphin County's foster children with safe, secure and stable homes;

Whereas, originating in May of 1988, National Foster Care Month raises awareness and provides the opportunity for people to get involved as foster parents, volunteers, mentors or employers for the more than 523,000 children and youth across the nation that are in need of such care;

Whereas, in Dauphin County, there are more than 350 dependent children who are in some type of out-of-home placement;

Whereas, on average, Dauphin County has more than 250 children placed in foster family care, with 27 children awaiting adoptive foster family placement and an average of 10 children in a shelter waiting placement;

Whereas, although Dauphin County Social Services for Children and Youth consists of more than 75 licensed foster parents, we are in desperate need of more families who are willing to serve as foster parents;

Whereas, as a direct result of foster parents' commitment, compassion and dedicated day-to-day efforts, many children receive nurturing, protection and a sense of belonging they so greatly need; on average 65% of Pennsylvania's waiting children are adopted by their foster families;

Therefore, we are truly grateful for all the families who open their hearts and their homes to less fortunate children, and in recognition of their time and talents, we do hereby proclaim May 2006 to be "Foster Care Month" in Dauphin County.

With that we have individuals to be recognized. Before we do that I would like to call on my colleagues for additional comments.

Mr. DiFrancesco: Once again we go back to the issue of what we are here for as a county and the services that we provide. Unfortunately, many of the stories are not ones that are easy to listen to. The fact of the matter remains that there are very caring people in this community who step up to the plate and are willing to make tremendous sacrifice and I am sure reap great rewards as well. It is a tremendous sacrifice to take that chance, opening your heart and home and love that child who is in need at that particular moment. I want to thank those that are here and those that are not here for the commitment that they make to this community. There are a lot of children out there who need people desperately in their lives. Thank you all.

Mr. Haste: I too would just like to say thank you. I know parenting is not an easy chore. Quite a bit of challenges go with it and that's only with your own biological children. When you take someone else's child in that you don't know the complete history of and try to make that change in their life I'm sure it is very difficult and trying. On the other hand, I can't think of a better group of people to thank than you folks because you are a very important cog in our system. If it weren't for you I know we would have much more problems than we do now. My hat goes off to you; thank you and God bless you for what you are doing.

Mr. Hartwick: Some of those heroes are with us today. One family and another individual that I would like to point out are Gladys and Henry Wills. They have adopted a beautiful boy Cody into permanence. They are here with us today and we are so grateful for what you have done in his life and to the lives of many of the people that you have been involved with and served over the years. We want to say in deep appreciation, thank you for that. Also, somebody who doesn't get talked about a lot but there are individuals involved in respite foster care where, let me tell you I wish I could have a respite parent every once in a while. Thank goodness I have relatives and grandparents who do this but for individuals who are parents and foster parents and who have gone through a great deal and need a break, there is actually a respite foster parent, who's with us today, who will step in to provide that much needed mental health break in the process of raising a child. Myrna Fink is also with us today. We want to thank her also for her wonderful service. We have with us also today Yaivette Roberts, Lisa Pilsitz, Vicki Shultz, Jason McCray, Marilyn Sutton and from the Department of Children and Youth, Jen Barnes. Jen is a Supervisor at Hope Rhode who's involved with kinship care. If those folks, along with Sandy Moore, could come up, we can give them all a round of applause.

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

SALARY BOARD

A complete set of Salary Board meeting minutes are on file in the Chief Clerk's office.

PERSONNEL

Ms. Sinner: I do have two addendums to the Personnel Packet. The first one has new hires all of which are effective May 22, 2006. We are just requesting approval today so that they can give their employer two-weeks notice and then start on the 22nd. Aging Care Manager II is one of the positions and then two part-time Deputy Sheriff positions. Also, I have an addendum for the hiring of the new Director of Emergency Management Agency effective May 15, 2006. I have no changes to the Personnel Packet I presented last week.

Mr. Haste: Any questions of Kay? (There were none.)

It was moved by Mr. Hartwick and seconded by Mr. DiFrancesco to approve the Personnel Packet including the two addendums. All were in favor. Motion carries.

PURCHASE ORDERS

Mr. Baratucci: Commissioners, there was one addendum to the packet. It came from the Prison by way of IT. It is an upgrade to the digital security system software at the Prison. I believe they had contacted Commissioner Haste to have it added to the packet. That is on page 6. Everything else is the same as last week with all the budget issues cleared up. It is there for you approval unless you have any questions.

Mr. Haste: How did your budget go up by $1,000?

Mr. Baratucci: How did mine?

Mr. Haste: If you look at your first page, it doesn't affect the bottom line of your purchase orders, but the line item was increased from $302,000 to $303,000.

Mr. Baratucci: I'm not really sure, I'll have to ask Mike, unless there was a credit that went through on one of our invoices. I'll check with Mike.

It was moved by Mr. DiFrancesco and seconded by Mr. Hartwick to approve the Purchase Order packet as presented. All were in favor. Motion carries.

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

Mr. Yohe: I hope to have by the end of this week the RFP prepared for the next time frame. I sent something out to you this morning inquiring as to what banks you wanted me to use. Once I hear back from you I will get that out. Any questions on the investment report? (There were none.)

1. Budget Amendments for the quarter ending March 31, 2006. These are for he first quarter figures for those funds on the calendar year and the third quarter 2005/2006 figures for those in the fiscal budget report.

Mr. Yohe: The Budget Amendment report, again this is for the quarter ending March 31, 2006. That would be the first quarter for the calendar year funds and the third quarter for the fiscal funds. Anything that I did that changed the bottom line of any of the budgets that you approved prior are listed on here and highlighted. I am here to answer any questions. If there are no questions then I will ask you to vote on it. You will notice on the very first page, a large adjustment for indirect costs. We had the same thing at the end of last year. I had to make that adjustment at the beginning of the year this year again. Our accounting practice has changed. We are actually applying indirect costs to every department. Other than that I think most of them are the addition of grants or additional sources of revenue as they come in.

Mr. Haste: The DA's salary, do you want to explain that?

Mr. Yohe: The first two adjustments, when we approved the budget last year I had the District Attorney's salary as coming back in as revenue and it was approved in the budget. I talked to our Controller's office, George, and he would prefer that it would come back as a credit directly against the salary expense. What I did was go in and remove the revenue, whatever that is the $84,000, that was supposed to come from the State as revenue and apply it as a credit to the salary expense in the DA's office.

Mr. Hartwick: So it is a wash?

Mr. Yohe: Yes.

Mr. Hartwick: Where is the revenue going again?

Mr. Yohe: When the check comes we are going to apply it right against the District Attorney's expense budget for salaries. If you look at that his salary budget went from $1.4 million down to $1.3 million. I removed the revenue also.

The second one we had that drug and alcohol physician in the general fund and we decided since we have a drug and alcohol fund that we will actually put the position in the drug and alcohol fund. When that position gets approved then we will put the budget over there.

Mr. Haste: Any other questions? (There were none.)

It was moved by Mr. DiFrancesco and seconded by Mr. Hartwick to approve the First Quarter 2006 Budget Amendments and the Third Quarter 2005/2006 Fiscal Budget Amendments. All were in favor. Motion carries.

REPORT FROM CHIEF CLERK/CHIEF OF STAFF - CHAD SAYLOR

Mr. Saylor: Commissioners, I have nothing to report unless there are any questions of me. (There were none.)
