PUBLIC COMMENTS
Joe Abate, a member of the Veterans Council, questioned the Board as to whether he is still a member of the
Veterans Advisory Council. Commissioners Irey and Bevec noted they never replaced or have taken him off the Board
to their knowledge.
A motion was made by Mr. Bevec and seconded by Mrs. Irey, to reappoint Mr. Abate to another term as a
member of the Veterans Advisory Council.
DISCUSSION
Commissioner Burns stated the by laws dictate membership of that Board based on recommendations from
various veterans organizations and stated although he agrees in spirit Mr. Abate is a great veteran and would like for him
to be on the board, he pointed out the VFW originally appointed him but sent a letter about a month ago naming three
individuals for recommendation to that Board and Mr. Abate was not on that list. Commissioner Burns stated this
proposed action goes against the by laws for this Board.
Discussion was held regarding the appointment of individuals to the Veterans Advisory Council and
Mr. Abate's role in the past with the Veterans Advisory Council.
Commissioner Burns cited the by laws pertaining to membership on the Board and stated Mr. Abate could be a
member at -large presuming, of course, that we don't already have two member at -large appointed.
Some discussion was held.
Commissioner Burns made a motion to table the previous motion and while it is on the table to make a motion to
amend the by laws to increase the at -large membership from two to three members and then at the time there is a
opening, Mr. Abate could be appointed to that position.
Chairman Bevec called on Solicitor DiSalle to render a legal opinion on this action.
Solicitor DiSalle questioned Mr. Abate on if and how he was removed from council.
Discussion was held regarding the appointment of Mr. Abate because it was determined his term has expired and
the motion was made to reappoint him to council.
Commissioner Irey stated she made the motion to retain Mr. Abate and reappoint him to a term that has expired.
More discussion was held regarding a list of submitted names that were recommended by the veterans
organizations for appointment to the council.
Solicitor DiSalle stated there is no question that membership of the council must be approved by the Board of
Commissioners and the Board also has the authority to reject any names that are submitted for appointment according
to the by laws.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
WASHINGTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
Chairman Bevec entertained a second to the motion made by Commissioner Burns to table the previous motion.
It was noted there was no second to the motion.
Commissioner Irey clarified the first motion that was to reappoint Mr. Abate to the position he has been serving
on the Veterans Advisory Council.
Roll call vote taken:
Mr. Burns — No.
Commissioner Burns noted his vote is not in any way a reflection on Mr. Abate for whom he has the utmost
respect but because the Board has "bastardized our own process". Commissioner Burns went on to say that he believed
we had not shown the District Commander of the VFW proper respect when we asked him for three names and then
appointed someone else. Commissioner Burns noted that he gave an opportunity to appoint Mr. Abate in a way that
would be acceptable but it was rejected.
Commissioner Irey pointed out this is a reappointment not an appointment to a position Mr. Abate has already
been serving.
Mrs. Irey - Yes;
Mr. Bevec - Yes.
Motion carried.
Mr. Abate thanked the Board for their time and assistance.
Lew Irwin, a resident of McMurray and a member of the Veterans Advisory Council, made comments regarding
the discussion just held on the appointment of Mr. Abate to the council.
Commissioner Irey questioned Mr. Irwin if was ever appointed by the current Board of Commissioners to
council.
Mr. Irwin responded he was appointed in 1998 as an "at -large" member. Mr. Irwin explained a problem Mr.
Bevec pointed out at a special meeting on June 5, 2002, was there isn't any existing paper work to verify any current
member on that board has been appointed to the council. Mr. Irwin further explained that as chairman, he was going to
ask each veterans organization to submit letters of appointment in accordance in the same manner that has been done in
the past for the Commissioners to approve or reject.
A discussion followed on this matter and Mr. Irwin's appointment as chairman.
Chairman Bevec stated Mr. Abate has been reappointed to the council and did not assign a specific affiliation
with the appointment at this time. Chairman Bevec noted the other appointments will be held until all letters have been
received with recommendations for appointments.
Mr. Irwin questioned the Board as to whether or not he is acting in a legal capacity as chairman at this point.
Chairman Bevec noted no formal action will be taken until October, the next meeting of the council, therefore,
everything is status -quo.
Some discussion followed on this matter.
John Adams; a resident of Avella, made comments regarding the proposed location of the Veterans Cemetery.
Mr. Adams questioned the Board as to how the location was selected. Chairman Bevec informed Mr. Adams the

Commissioners weren't involved in the selection process. He noted the process involved veterans groups, the state and
certain criteria for layout of the property for the cemetery.
George Krcelich, Director of Human Services, further explained the selection process of the veterans cemetery to
Mr. Adams.
