    DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS/GUESTS

    Commissioners

    1. Proclamations honoring Wrestling Champions Tyler Nauman and Walter Peppelman.

    Mr. Hartwick: As a former wrestler and a high school official, I have a great deal of respect for the next two individuals who we have the privilege to honor here this morning. I know one thing; wrestling can be the most humbling or the most rewarding sport in the world. I would certainly take a wrestler under consideration for employment to any job because they don't stand there and point fingers at anybody else. There is no one else to blame. They figure out if there is something to be done and there is somebody else of equal competition, it is who gets up earliest and who works hardest that is going to be the one who ultimately ends up victorious. They also understand how to be gracious. There is no hiding on the wrestling mat. If you lose in front of 10,000 people having to keep your head held high, that builds character. Having to walk off the mat and understand that you are going to come back and fight another day. As a former wrestler and somebody who has watched both of these young men since their elementary school days and now culminating into state championships. They have brought pride and honor to me personally, to Dauphin County and its residents, to each of your respective school districts the honor of state title. I am going to start off and then Jeff is actually going to take care of Walter's.

    I want to say a little bit about Tyler Nauman. Tyler, I haven't seen you wrestle any better than you did at the end of this year. If the WWF had a bad guy wrestler you would certainly be the one. Not only do you have skill and talent but you back it up by what you do on the mat. You have an air of confidence that I think is going to serve you extremely well as you move on to the college level. You are good on your feet and you are getting better. You know if you can't do that and compete in that way in college you're not going to be able to succeed. Your grit and determination has come across very clearly. Some people may call it cocky, I call it confident. It showed at the end of the year your ability to actually come through and be victorious. It doesn't hurt that your dad is from Steelton. I know that's where you get it all from. With that I would like to read the proclamation for Tyler Nauman.

    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 Middletown High School's Tyler Nauman;

    Whereas, Tyler was named PIAA-AAA Outstanding Wrestler over 223 other participants and became Middletown High School's first-ever state wrestling champion;

    Whereas, he accomplished a lifelong goal, but was saddened by the realization that he would never again wrestle as a Blue Raider;

    Whereas, this champion has brought honor and recognition to himself, his school, the close-knit community of Middletown and this very grateful county of Dauphin;

    Whereas, on and off the mat, Tyler is a winner in every sense of the word and we wish him continued success as he wrestles at the University of Pittsburgh in the fall, for he will undoubtedly apply his same determination and drive to this team and all of his future endeavors;

    Therefore, we join the 253,300 residents of Dauphin County in hailing Middletown's much-admired and beloved State Wrestling Champion, Tyler Nauman; we thank him for providing fans with not only the thrill of competition and the glimmer of gold, but, more importantly, with enhanced unity, town pride and enduring hope; and, in honor of his remarkable accomplishments and award-winning ways, we do hereby proudly declare April 19, 2007 to be "Tyler Nauman Day" in Dauphin County.

    (Applause was given.)

    Mr. Haste: It is my pleasure as well to present this because as you may or may not know I was also a wrestler in Lewistown. It was interesting to note, you know you are getting old when you start to see guys who wrestled two years behind you, their sons, competing in state wrestling. Like Chamberlain, when he was wrestling last year I noticed that his father actually wrestled two years behind me in high school. That is when you know you are getting old.

    The next young man we are going to honor, we do have the pleasure of seeing him in the area for another year. He is one of four fine young men who have been passionate about wrestling. It is our pleasure today to also recognize Walter Peppelman.

    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 Central Dauphin High School's world class wrestler Walter Peppelman;

    Whereas, Walter helped to lead the CD Rams to the PIAA Class AAA championship after defeating Nazareth's Mike Greck to earn the gold medal;

    Whereas, with the encouragement of his father, Walter took up wrestling and decided early on that he did not want to win "stinking ribbons";

    Whereas, this champion has brought honor and recognition to himself, his school, the community and this very grateful county of Dauphin;

    Whereas, on and off the mat, Walter is a winner in every sense of the word and we are confident that he will apply his determination and drive to all his future endeavors;

    Therefore, we join the 253,300 residents of Dauphin County in hailing Central Dauphin's much-admired and beloved wrestling champion, Walter Peppelman; we thank him for providing fans with not only the thrill of competition and the glimmer of gold, but, more importantly, with enhanced unity, town pride and enduring hope; and, in honor of his remarkable accomplishments and award-winning ways, we do hereby proudly declare April 18, 2007 to be "Walter Peppelman Day" in Dauphin County.

    (Applause was given and pictures were taken.)

    Mr. Hartwick: What most of you don't know is that the cameras that are here have been doing a year long documentary of high school wrestling in Pennsylvania. They have focused largely on Walter, but also on Tyler, and it is going to be appearing in a major film festival as an outstanding documentary. It ended this year with Central Dauphin winning the individual team championship for the PIAA. Hopefully we can keep our eyes out for a movie that will focus on central Pennsylvania and wrestling to be a national event in the very near future.

    Mr. Haste: Thank you both. We know the dedication that you guys put into this and even though I am not involved in wrestling anymore as George is I coach another sport and deal with high school athletes every day and know the commitment that you make, not only to be an athlete, but to be a student athlete and I think that says enough in and of itself. Congratulations to you both.

    Mr. Hartwick: We have high expectations for you and your brother for next year. Did I hear correctly that you have two more coming on? Four kids in the family?

    Mr. Haste: All wrestlers.

    Mr. Hartwick: People will remember the Peppelman name; you'll be able to run for office in this region at any time. Thanks.

    1. David Black and Linda Goldstein, Harrisburg Regional Chamber & CREDC
      1. Proposal with the Pennsylvania DCED for a grant from Housing and Redevelopment Assistance Program Funds in the amount of $250,000.

    Mr. Black: You are right. It is not near as exciting. Congratulations to the wrestlers that does take a lot! We are here today to ask for the Commissioners support for a resolution that we are applying for, for a grant from the Department of Community and Economic Development in the amount of $250,000. This is a similar type of request that we brought before you a few months ago. It is in the midtown section of Harrisburg at 1820-1822 Locust St. and 1843-1841 N. 3rd St. Due to the timing of the grant through the Department of Community and Economic Development they have requested that we get the grant application in before the end of the state fiscal year, which we all know is June 30th. The program that we are applying for, the Housing and Redevelopment Assistance Program, does require a municipality apply and requires a resolution of that municipality or county and we are here to seek that. The resolution that you have before you will allow you to decide, the CREDC side of the operation at the Chamber and CREDC will administer this grant. I also wanted to point out in the resolution just to ease your fears the fourth section down says Dauphin County will assume the provision of the full local share of the project costs. CREDC and the developer, as well as, the ultimate tenant on this project assuming everything goes through, will assume those costs so there will be no financial liability for Dauphin County. As soon as we get a contract pulled together with the developer and planner we will be happy to share further information, but right now it is a timing issue and we would appreciate your endorsement of this resolution.

    Mr. Hartwick: What is the resolution number?

    Mr. Haste: I believe it is Resolution #12-2007. Is there a motion to approve?

    Mr. Hartwick made the motion and Mr. Haste seconded the motion to approve Resolution #12-2007, authorizing the filing of a proposal for funds with the Department of Community and Economic Development, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to obtain $250,000 for prevention and elimination of blight under Section 4(c) of the Housing and Redevelopment Assistance Law, as amended. All were in favor; motion carried.

    SALARY BOARD

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

    PERSONNEL

    Ms. Sinner: I have an addendum. Are there any questions on the items in the addendum? (There were none.) I don't have changes to the packet I presented last week.

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

    It was moved by Mr. Hartwick and seconded by Mr. Haste to approve the Personnel Packet as amended. All were in favor; motion carries.

    PURCHASE ORDERS

    Mr. Baratucci: It was somewhat of an active week from the Workshop until now. There were four different items that were requested to be added to the packet. I will point these out to you and if you have any questions let me know.

    The first one is on page 4. This is a chair for the Personnel office and my understanding is this was something relative to a Worker's Comp issue. The person needed to get another chair because of ergonomics that caused back problems. I believe there was an email sent to Commissioner Hartwick.

    Mr. Hartwick: There was.

    Mr. Baratucci: And he approved adding this to the packet.

    On page 6 for the Security Department they are replacing a vehicle and this is off of the state contract. There is a deadline for ordering off of that contract. That was the reason for requesting that be added. We need to get the order in prior to May 1, 2007.

    Mr. Haste: This would cost more to repair than to purchase a new one.

    Mr. Baratucci: Exactly. There would have been some very costly repairs. Commissioner Haste was advised of that.

    On page 16 the Schaffner Center had one of their refrigerator/freezers go down. We needed a replacement there. That was approved by Commissioner DiFrancesco as an add on. They obviously needed it replaced so they asked if it could be added to the packet.

    The last item is on the last page and that is page 28. The furniture for the 911 EMA Radio Project. That has been in the works for a while and again my understanding is that this was submitted to Commissioner DiFrancesco and he approved adding it to the packet. My understanding is that there are some timing issues here related to Motorola and the radio project.

    All of the other budget issues from last week have been taken care of. Do you have any questions?

    Mr. Haste: I don't see Steve here.

    Mr. Baratucci: Steve Shaver? No. Like I said, I believe he discussed this with Commissioner DiFrancesco and Nick is the one that told me to go forward with it and add it to the packet.

    Mr. Haste: Do we know how many stations we are talking about?

    Mr. Baratucci: 14 is what I am told.

    Mr. Haste: I see some items we are ordering 16, some 18. I assume.

    Mr. Baratucci: My understanding is that some of the work stations are larger and may require two of something. If you look on there in the little packet of information that I gave you, for instance task lights, there are 14, one for each station. Some of the work surfaces you need smaller sizes and larger sizes and they go together. The diagram kind of tells you that. I was told 14 and when we were talking about the cost of these things the total cost here of $107,467.80 was divided by 14 and came to approximately, $7,600.00 per station.

    Mr. Haste: $7,676.27

    Mr. Baratucci: Okay. Again, that is taking everything, the panels, the cabling, the work surfaces, everything together and then this is the breakdown on the quote that I gave you is the way it was signed by the vendor.

    Mr. Haste: I see Tom Guenther here, I am going to ask this of him since Steve is not here. I noticed that there are no monitors or computers in this order. It appears that these monitors need to be mounted on a Rollervision. Do we need to order special monitors that can be mounted then?

    Mr. Guenther: They can use existing monitors.

    Mr. Haste: The existing monitors can be mounted?

    Mr. Baratucci: My understanding is any of the equipment for this would be through the Motorola contract.

    Mr. Haste: Do we have to order special monitors then?

    Mr. Guenther: Not to my knowledge.

    Mr. Haste: So any monitor could be mounted on these.

    Mr. Guenther: On this type of furniture, normal monitors could be put into that furniture. Now, bear in mind for the Motorola project there may be a special monitor.

    Mr. Haste: Because it looks like a mount is needed on the back of the monitor. Again I wish, Steve knew we were doing this today, right?

    Mr. Baratucci: Yes, Steve was the one who submitted the request to Nick to have it added to the packet. Again I was told that the reason he wanted it added is because of time constraints.

    Mr. Haste: I had sent Steve an email about a month ago and I haven't heard from him since then on my concerns over how costly this is. It comes to $7,676.27 per unit. Our Judges I believe when we did this, and we thought that was quite high, averaged about $4,000 per work station for Judges. Our own staff on this floor, their workstations amounted to somewhere around $2,400. I understand these stations are a little more sophisticated, but I am still just having a hard time understanding why we need to spend this amount of money.

    Mr. Baratucci: The only thing I will say to that is at the beginning of this process when I got involved, this same vendor was quoting a project cost of about $180,000. After getting some more people involved and paring down the pricing we had an alternate proposal that was actually a little bit higher than this around $120,000. At that time I had asked for EMA to justify the difference and basically what they had done was gone back to Xybix, the preferred vendor, this is the one through all of their research that they are saying is the best and has the best product, etc. They went back to Xybix and took out a lot of costly items that were included in the original proposal of $180,000. Things like there were some personal temperature controls in each station. There were automated work stations that moved up and down mechanically as opposed to just the monitors. That dropped the price from $180,000 down to this current $107,000. You can see how costly some of those things were. It also dropped the per station price from $13,000 down to $7600. At that point, as I had said to you guys before when we had a conversation, with the specifications and requirements that EMA is saying they need for this I think we have the best quote we are going to get.

    Mr. Haste: Need or want?

    Mr. Baratucci: That is the issue.

    Mr. Hartwick: That is the question I asked yesterday.

    Mr. Baratucci: That is the question that I posed to them. Their comment back was this is what they feel they need. Again, I really can't speak to that. I am going by what they are telling me. I think their feelings are they have pared it down and they feel comfortable with this and their oversight was comfortable with it, asked me to present it, that's what I am doing. I will say that based on the requirements that they have identified that they say their needs are I think we have a good proposal here. I think we have the best of the proposals that we are going to get unless we go back and change the requirements. I don't think they want to do that. I think they feel that this is what they need.

    Mr. Hartwick: I may be the bad guy here and again I would prefer Steve be here to answer the questions. It seems like every request we get from EMA, I don't know if it's because their name is Emergency Management, but it appears that it is always an emergency and it needs to be done in a timely fashion or else it's going to delay something. As Commissioner Haste has emailed about a month ago I have also asked a number of questions that I have not gotten responses to yet. In fairness in order for us to make the assessments and hear the justification I don't want to jump to any conclusions without hearing it directly from Mr. Shaver. I would move to postpone this part of the Purchasing Packet one week and hear justification from EMA staff as to why they need, not want, this specific vendor and this specific equipment. It raises a larger question with me. It is sort of an old way to come in and make everyone feel good. Initially there was a $20,000 request that was done and a bond issue and now we have gotten it down, largely in part due to you Randy, asking questions and bringing in competition through other vendors and all of a sudden we have reduced debt by about $12,400, which is a significant improvement when we are talking about this number of workstations. We all heard me bitch about the $750 chair and heard me complain about a number of other purchases that have been made by EMA. Where else in this bond issue do we see significant equipment purchases and can we see a plan as to what else may be available and suitable and practical rather than lavish in the Jaguar style when we can get by with a 4-door Chevy? Besides they are American made.

    Mr. Baratucci: The $20,000 figure was ridiculous to begin with. That was one of those things that was thrown in by the consultant I think to sound good. Moving from the 13 down to this was a result of spending 2 months here going back and forth and trying to pare it down. I do want to give credit in that they were reasonable during the conversations of trying to look for paring down. I think some of the stuff that they took out was some of the stuff that I believe was supposed to be out from the get go. I think there was some kind of demonstration out there with some stuff and all of these things were on there, like the mechanical up and down stuff and the temperature control things. I thought that stuff was out originally. Through the conversations I found out that it wasn't, but then it did get dropped and that's how it got down to the $107,000. Again, that is all I can tell you.

    Mr. Haste: What is the life expectancy of this furniture?

    Mr. Baratucci: They say a lifetime. There is a lifetime warranty on everything.

    Mr. Haste: I would hope so the way they are built.

    Mr. Baratucci: When you read into it, it says "limited lifetime warranty". So there are limitations, but that is with anything.

    Mr. Haste: When you look at it, it looks like any other work station until you start reading and its special static load keyboards that can withstand a capacity of 500 lbs. and then they show their salespeople sitting on it. I would hope.

    Mr. Saylor: Why don't we have a presentation on this next week?

    Mr. Haste: I understand they have to be in this 24 hours. I would just think then that Mike Pries would have an argument that his guys who have to drive on a regular basis may need Humvees or something for comfort and safety.

    Mr. Saylor: I think we all get the point.

    Mr. Hartwick: In fairness to Nick and Steve if I could just make sure we exclude page 28 from this week's Purchase Packet, when I am called upon by the Chair to make a motion I would be willing to make it in that form.

    Mr. Haste: Okay, is there a motion?

    It was moved by Mr. Hartwick and seconded by Mr. Haste to accept pages 1-27 of the Purchase Order packet. All were in favor; motion carries.

    Mr. Baratucci: I just have one question, are you going to or is Mr. Saylor going to contact Steve?

    Mr. Haste: I will contact Steve.

    Mr. Baratucci: Just so they know that they need to be here next week. Thanks.

    Mr. Saylor: Just be nice because I know they had the TMI Drill and he was on his toes all night long.

    Mr. Hartwick: I know, I got several calls.

    Mr. Haste: So did I. I hear you were quite spirited there.
