Joseph A. Ford, Sr. 369, Diana L. Irey J . Bracken Burns, Sr. MINUTE ®® BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WASHINGTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA The Commissioners presented a certificate of recognition to Homer L. Harden who has served as a member of the Deemston Borough Council for 18-1/2 years and is now retiring. e The Commissioners presented a certificate of recognition to William Mace, a fifth grader and member 0 mof the Safety Patrol for Borland Manor Elementary School, for his efforts in saving a six -year old student co from a tragic accident on September 7, 1995. m a (The meeting recessed briefly for the purpose of taking photos.) a PUBLIC COMMENTS a Harry Sabatasse of Burgettstown questioned the Commissioners as to their justification for asking the Judges, Row Officers and Department Heads to reduce their work force and operational expenses and subsequently give salaried employees a 4% increase and a $500 bonus to union employees for taking a reduction in their health care plan. Commissioner Irey stated that in January the Commissioners voted to change to a ,ss expensive health care plan in order to try to save some money because they knew they were faced with a budget crunch. She noted that unfortunately they were not able to switch over to the less expensive plan until negotiations with the union were completed which took approximately six months. Therefore, they were not able to save enough money that they needed in order to keep taxes as low as possible; However, they were able to save approximately $800,000 in the process. Harry Sabatasse asked if the $500 was a gift or a form of a bonus. Commissioner Burns stated that it was a means of getting the union to agree to a change that they did not have to agree to. Commissioner Irey stated that it could also be referred to as an incentive for change. She stated that it was her understanding that since the less expensive health care plan did not cover certain items, there would be more out-of-pocket expenses and this $500 would be something for employees to put aside for those expenses. Mr. Sabatasse questioned the legality of the $500 bonus. Commissioner Burns stated that there were two attorneys present during negotiations and he assured Mr. Sabatasse that it was legal. Commissioner Irey noted that the County was losing approximately $1,800 a day of savings which could have been realized by switching to the less expensive health care plan. Mr. Sabatasse also questioned the Commissioners as to their justification for increasing taxes and subsequently granting a 4% increase to salaried employees. Commissioner Irey explained that when the Commissioners took office they realized that they did not have enough money to meet the County's obligations, to cover the cost of the new jail, to cover the cost of the rove offices, etc. She stated that the Commissioners hired an independent financial advisor to determine where they could save some money; and that report is now completed and the Commissioners have implemented cost saving measures to help save money in the future. She stated that she would have preferred not to raise taxes, but the Commissioners really did not have a choice in the matter because they 370 Joseph A. Ford, Sr. Diana L. Irey J. Bracken Burns, Sr. BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WASHINGTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA could not have opened the new correctional facility had they not raised taxes, but she assured Mr. Sabatasse that this Board is absolutely committed to try to keep costs down. She noted that the $500 bonus for union employees was a negotiated item which she feels was fair, and she feels that she did the right thing by granting a 4% increase to salaried employees who had not received a raise in January and who were switched to a less expensive health care plan with no bonus and who earn less in the public sector than those in the private sector. Mr. Sabatasse asked Commissioner Ford that since he voted against these two issues ($500 bonus and 4% salary increase), why hasn't he let the public know how he feels as Chairman about his two colleagues voting for something that he feels should not have occurred. Chairman Ford stated that when you serve with other elected officials you must always respect their ability to make their own judgments whether you agree or disagree with them. He stated that although he did not agree with his colleagues on these two issues, he does not intend to dwell on them and he intends to move on. He noted that looking at the Board's track record over the past six months, the Commissioners have agreed on a majority of -issues.
