DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS/GUESTS

1. Commissioners
   1. Proclamation honoring Dick Miller and Cliff Jones.

Mr. DiFrancesco: I have a distinct honor this morning to introduce to this room and to talk a little bit about two gentlemen that have meant a tremendous amount to our Central Pennsylvania community. I believe it was last week or two weeks ago now that there was a dinner held in honor of these two gentlemen for their commitment. And to say that it was just their commitment to transit would be seriously understating what these two have meant to Central Pennsylvania as a whole. I can speak of a time many years ago when I was first starting out my public service career and I don't know how many years have passed, but it was these two gentlemen that I was first able to meet and chat with about issues important to Central Pennsylvania. I keep referring to Central Pennsylvania, because these two gentlemen never ever looked at county boundaries, never looked at arbitrary boundaries that people put on a map. These are two gentlemen that had always, as long as I have known them, talked about the importance of a regional attitude and why it is so important for all of our communities to come together and work together for the good of all the people.

Specifically let me begin with Cliff Jones. Everybody in Central Pennsylvania knows him and for good reason. Cliff's career has spanned many different levels. He is a dynamic gentleman who cares about this community from the people in it, to the jobs in it and, to the environment. He is very well-rounded and very involved in so many things and has had such a tremendous impact on many of the good things that have happened in this area. When you look at SARAA, the Airport and the Penn State Campus, which started out as many of you know as a former air force base with shacks on it, when it was first turned over to Penn State. Today if you go down there, for those who are Penn State graduates, we can be very proud of what is taking place down there for those who are just residents of this area and this community. I, having grown up in that area, would have never imagined that we would have the full scale university center down there that we have today and Cliff had a lot to do with all of that. It is with great honor today that this Board notes his many accomplishments and pays a tribute to him.

I also want to introduce Dick Miller, who I had the pleasure of serving with on the CAT Board for many years. Dick also was one who taught me a lot in regards to public service, about what is important and what fights to have and what fights possibly not to have. Although, I can honestly sit here and say that Dick Miller was one of the few people who told me that there were probably more fights to have than others may have said.

The reason that we are specifically bringing credit to their careers today is simply because they have been such major drivers on the transportation issue at this particular time. Dick again has served as Chairman of the CAT Board. I thank you for that commitment and I guess after twenty some years maybe it was Frank Pinto's time to take over the Board, but we can argue that point all day, because CAT was very capably served the entire time that you were there and we appreciate those years of dedicated service and the commitment and the sacrifices that you made during that time.

Cliff, I can't even begin to go into it. You have touched this community in so many ways. You were directly responsible for serving the initiatives that are taking place today. A lot of people will sit down and talk about regionalism and they will talk about a lot of these issues that are really critically important to us, but they won't have the manner and the respect to deliver that message in a way that you did and actually bring people together. Cliff, you have been able to bring people together. You have provided good advice to many, many leaders for so many years. Major issues that we look at today and say it is just a critical part, we can look at it and say it is because Cliff Jones had his hand in it that these things even took place.

Both of you have done a tremendous job and this Board appreciates that. Today we simply wanted to bring you here and we thank you for coming. Your community appreciates you very much and to thank you for all your years of service.

Mr. Hartwick: I'm going to try to keep it brief, which everybody in this room knows that it is extremely challenging for me. When you talk about two men with stature I think we all set out in public service to take a look back at our lives and to say "how is our community" and "how is what we have been dealt with a little bit better off as a result of our involvement". I will tell you that Cliff Jones and Dick Miller have made this region a hell of a lot better as a result of their involvement. I will say with a great debt of gratitude for a young man who has set out with that kind of passion in order to make a difference and make positive changes within the community, you two are truly trailblazers. I will set an example, I'm going to set a high bar from which other young public servants who are trying to move forward and continue to move forward with some of the work that you started and also address some of the new concerns. You have shown that it can be done through cooperation and most importantly having the passion to serve ultimately is what brings people together and you have exemplified that in both of your careers. Thank you for your leadership and all that you have done for this region.

Mr. Haste: I was just trying to reflect as Nick was talking about when he met people and things like that. I remember when I met Cliff, but Cliff probably doesn't remember. I'm not sure when I met Dick. I met Cliff when I was 24 years old and joined the Thornburgh Administration and Cliff was already there. If you remember back in those times, some folks in the Administration wouldn't warm and fuzzy, even though I think it was a very well run administration, but Cliff was one of those guys who had a kind word for a young buck who was trying to move things through. I was tasked with the Sunshine Legislation at the time and Cliff was one of the gentleman that I had to talk to before I went over on the Hill and his advice was always good. He is someone, whether it is economic development or politics, that I feel free to pick up the phone and talk to. He has always given me good advice.

When I think about Dick I think about transportation. I was trying to remember, I probably met Dick on one of those fights.

Mr. Miller: You were sitting where Chad is sitting.

Mr. Haste: You used to fight with Russ Sheaffer all the time and I had to go and get in between one of those fights. It is funny how we have become good friends ever since then. When Nick talked about the region, I have to remind myself that you don't live in Dauphin County, because you are such a part of Dauphin County.

Mr. Hartwick: Dick is the only democrat that lives in Cumberland County.

Mr. Haste: I think that is a testament to the way you view Central Pennsylvania and the region. It doesn't have boundaries to you folks. It is all about region and improving the area in which we live and I thank you for that.

(Applause was given and pictures were taken.)

Mr. Miller: Let me say George for a young guy you have already set a hell of an example. You have great leadership, not only in this county but as a region. I have a lot of fond memories with my twenty plus years of coming to this Courthouse. You have always treated me with respect, good humor, which I think it very important. Even Russ Sheaffer reminded me how to say "No." I am very proud to get this Proclamation today and will work with you even beyond my former life with CAT. Thank you very much.

Mr. Jones: I'm grateful, but not only that, but what a delight it is to work with the three of you. You care about people. You care about the County and you do truly care about the region as I do. It is nice to have an accolade for people who care. Thank you very much for doing this.

(Applause was given.)

1. Proclamation declaring April Child Abuse Prevention Month.

Mr. Hartwick: It gives me a great honor at this point to also bring some attention to an issue that is a reality, because of the individuals who do the work in and out of the perimeter. The proactive work of individuals who care so passionately about child abuse prevention. I would venture to say that across the State of Pennsylvania there is no better group of caring professionals and proactive law enforcement from the Children's Resource Center to our Children and Youth Agency, JPO, District Attorney's Office, I can go on and on and on with individuals who care deeply about the children in our community and also who put themselves in the position of harms way and I am sure all of you did. If you are in the position of child abuse prevention for the money, you chose the wrong career. The work that you do is extremely meaningful and you truly make a difference. I couldn't be prouder of the people that do the job in Dauphin County, because we do set the trend for the rest of the State. The Human Services Policy Committee, of which I'm involved with for the State. Dauphin County has set an example over and over and over as it relates to child abuse prevention and as it relates to communication and making sure that we are the first in many areas to try to solve problems related to kids. We don't want to see them victimized. The Children's Resource Center is phenomenal. Just for the people that do the job every day you deserve our applause.

(Mr. Hartwick read the Proclamation.)

Office of County Commissioner
Dauphin County, Pennsylvania

Proclamation

We, the Dauphin County Board of Commissioners, hope to eradicate the horrors of child abuse and boost public awareness of this national tragedy by declaring April 2007 as Child Abuse Prevention Month in Dauphin County;

Whereas, since 1983, when April was designated as Child Abuse Prevention Month, communities across the country have used this month-long observance to increase awareness of this horrific crime and the steps we can take to protect our most children;

Whereas, child maltreatment is one of society's oldest, most insidious problems, more than one million children are confirmed as victims of maltreatment every year, with three children dying each day as a result of abuse and neglect;

Whereas, child abuse is the number one cause of death in children under the age of four and the incidence of child abuse has skyrocketed in recent years, jumping from 600,000 cases of reported child abuse and neglect in 1974 to 3.4 million reported cases in 1994;

Whereas, in conjunction with the Children's Youth Agency, we've raised the "Children's Memorial Flag" designed by the Child Welfare League of America, from the Human Services Building flagpole to bring public attention to bear on child abuse;

Whereas, county, state and national leaders must join together with the entire spectrum of community groups, schools, churches, businesses and individuals to give suffering children a voice and bring an end to their physical and emotional anguish;

Therefore, it is with a heavy heart and sincere hopes for relief that we proclaim April 2007 as Child Abuse Prevention Month in Dauphin County; and we urge all organizations and individuals, both public and private, to join together to combat this heart-rending social crisis.

Mr. DiFrancesco: Part of the job that is least positive is the fact that some of the people that we deal with are facing great crisis in their lives and probably none as more concerning than the children in this community that unfortunately grow up in homes that for whatever reason cannot provide them the safe environment that certainly most of us experience in our lives. The fact that so many of you care so greatly and can be that person that gets involved in their lives to bring stability, obviously it makes all the difference in the world to that child, but I continue to note every year when we go through this program that the burden you bear, also in the stories and the lives that you touch, has to be very heavy. I commend each of you for the time that you take to get involved in the lives of the children, but also the fact that you continue as George said we realize that these are not jobs that are going to make you rich people, but they are jobs that are going to make you rich in other ways. That is knowing the impact that you have had on people's lives. Today it is with great joy that we celebrate all the people that are involved in caring for our children. We continue to acknowledge the fact that it is still a problem in our community and the more awareness that we can raise hopefully will bring us one step closer to solving the problem. Thank you all for being here and thank you for your commitment and we will continue to support you in any way that we can.

Mr. Haste: I too would like to say thank you. As they were talking I was thinking that it is a very difficult position. I actually wish we could be here today and say you are no longer needed. Unfortunately, society doesn't let us go that way and there are a lot of things in society that go on that disgust me, but there is probably nothing that disgusts me more than when I hear the death or the abuse of a child. I have breakfast with Graham Hetrick at least once a week and when he starts telling stories of some cases it just makes me angry. I have to give you a pat on the back, because I could not do what you do. If I were in your shoes, I would no longer be Chairman of the Prison Board I probably would be in jail. I would not have the tolerance that you do and that is why I'm glad there are people like you that are in these jobs. Thank you very much for what you do.

Mr. Dougher: Thank you for taking the opportunity to fly the flag for us this month. I know you have done it every year since 1994. This is the missing child flag to celebrate and to acknowledge. One to acknowledge and celebrate children and to recognize missing children in the community who are no longer with us because of child abuse and neglect. We thank the Commissioners for the dedication that they have with regard to children in this community and thank you for being willing to fly the flag for us this month.

Mr. Hartwick: We also have with us Theresa Smith from the Community Resource Center, Joan Allegrini from the Lower Paxton Township Police Department, Shannon Cossaboom from CRC, Lorrie Leitzel from Family Support of Central PA, Sandy Moore, Administrator of Children and Youth, Jen Horn and Judy Turnbaugh, Marge Ebersole and Joe Dougher.

(Applause was given and pictures were taken.)

Stephen Shaver, Director, DEMA

1. Change Order for Motorola.

Mr. Shaver: I have a change order, which was passed through the Solicitor's Office for review. It has been signed off by them and also our staff. This Change Order #1 with regards to the contract between the County and Motorola. More or less the crust of the whole thing is we actually made some changes in the contract. Some were required because of a negotiation early on within the contract as far as Motorola was to provide particular units for field service providers. When we first negotiated the contract it had particular features and functionality in them and they were not able to provide that with that level of radio so we actually gotten upgraded as far as better radios at no cost to the County, which is roughly about $1 million more worth of equipment that we are not going to pay for.

The other thing is we removed some of the items in the contract and there is actually a credit balance associated with it now. There is no cost to the County associated with this Change Order. There is actually a credit due to us, which will be taken care of. When we negotiated the contract we knew that we were probably going to use additional funding that we would pull out throughout the process of the contract for actual subscriber equipment for police, fire and EMS, because the numbers have increased from when the actual survey was done in 2004. Right now we actually have a credit balance. It is a good Change Order. The Solicitor's Office has reviewed it. Commissioner DiFrancesco wanted me to bring it before you so you are aware of what is going on within the contract and a document such as this could actually be signed off by the Chief Clerk as your person.

Mr. Haste: Is this your first change order?

Mr. Shaver: Yes.

It was moved by Mr. DiFrancesco and seconded by Mr. Hartwick that the Board approve Change Order #1 with regard to the Contract between the County of Dauphin and Motorola; motion carried.

Mr. Hartwick: I was happy to second the motion to a change order that actually gives money back to the County for a change.

Mr. Shaver: I'll try to continue to do that Commissioner. I can't promise it, but I'll try.

Mr. Haste: Can we say your evaluation is based on it?

Mr. Shaver: Well....

Mr. DiFrancesco: It pretty much does. It does count.

The progress, are we keeping on track so far?

Mr. Shaver: The sites themselves, as we discussed early on, are an issue, but I think we should be on target. I appreciate Randy's work and also the Solicitor's office work. We are in the process of firming up the process with regards to the furniture. Part of this actual Change Order, because Motorola is going to charge us X amount of dollars for the furniture for the Com Center and we are now down around $8,000 a station.

Mr. Hartwick: You are going to give me a heart attack.

Mr. DiFrancesco: No, the heart attack came at $30,000 a station.

Mr. Hartwick: We don't want to talk about the price and change order, I just never hear any thing from EMA that has ever been reduced in cost.

Mr. DiFrancesco: It is twice now.

Mr. Shaver: The sites we are a little bit behind. Unfortunately, one site there is some body in some location, not in this world, that doesn't want us to have one particular site. I have to give a lot of credit to the Solicitor's Office, because this site we have been working on for at least three years now. We have to have it and the problem is every time we move three feet forward we move four feet back. I laugh now every time Guy Benevantano, because it is what it is. I think we should actually have a document before you possibly next week. Hopefully that one will go away. We are moving forward as fast as we can. We should be okay and we are still targeting for the tail end of next year as long as everything goes right.

Mr. DiFrancesco: How are the channels?

Mr. Shaver: We are still working on that. I think I copied you on an email that I sent to Tim Smith. We are actually asking the Congressman to get involved again. It seems the FCC, they move very slowly and we knew that was going to be an issue. They have asked us to reach out to two additional TV channels, which we have done. We just can't get any answers out of the Commission, so we asked to have it escalated a little bit within the political realm.

SALARY BOARD

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

PERSONNEL

Ms. Sinner: I distributed an Addendum yesterday. Are there any questions on that? (There was none.)

In the Personnel Packet I presented last week, I do have one item to be pulled. It is Change #22.

Mr. Hartwick: Could you let me know what the issue was with that after the meeting?

Ms. Sinner: Yes.

It was moved by Mr. Hartwick and seconded by Mr. DiFrancesco that the Board approve the Personnel Packet as amended. The amendment was to pull Change #22; motion carried.

Mr. Saylor: Commissioners, if I could just make a note for the record. Sorry that I was distracted with another matter, but we did get correspondence from Mr. Hawley regarding his hires for district justices and explaining the need for them. DJ Shugar's Office, there was an employee who was on maternity leave and at the last minute decided not to return, which created a vacancy and the DJ apparently has a backlog in cases. The other positions you know President Judge Lewis has formed a housing court and they are in desperate need of having an employee in there. It will take several weeks of training to get that employee up to speed so the President Judge asked for consideration of those two positions.

PURCHASE ORDERS

Mr. Baratucci: You should have received your Purchase Order Packet yesterday. The one item that I discussed last week for the Coroner's Office, the replacement refrigerator is in the Packet on Page 9. In addition to that, IT had sent a request to Commissioner Haste to add an item here. It is actually on Pages 6 and 7 and on Page 17. It is some networking equipment for A.A.A., of which IT is paying for some and A.A.A. is paying for the remainder. Tom had sent the request to Commissioner Haste about adding. Hopefully there is no problem with that. Other than those two additions, the rest of the Packet is as presented last week with all the budget adjustments completed.

Mr. Haste: Any questions? (There was none.)

It was moved by Mr. DiFrancesco and seconded by Mr. Hartwick that the Board approve the Purchase Order Packet; motion carried.

REPORT FROM CHIEF CLERK/CHIEF OF STAFF - CHAD SAYLOR

Mr. Saylor: I have two items. I neglected to mention an Executive Session held on March 22, 2007 to discuss some legal matters.

The second issue I just gave you a memo we received from the District Attorney's Office. It is standard procedure stuff. We are renewing a continuation of an existing grant. We can vote on it today unless you have any objections to it. I think if it was held off until next week it wouldn't be the end of the earth. That is your pleasure. It is the Stop Violence Against Women Grant. The Solicitor's Office has reviewed it and it seems to be pretty standard stuff.

I want to draw your attention to the Resolution #10, which is Item Q on the Agenda dealing with Federal funding for Prison inmates.

I have nothing else to report.

Mr. Haste: So, you are saying we will add this grant request to our Agenda as Item U.

Mr. Saylor: Unless there is an objection that would be great.
