E a 162 MINUTE BOOK BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WASHINGTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA FRANK R. MASCARA, METRO PETROSKY, JR , JOSEPH A. FORD, COMMISSIONERS REMARKS: Commissioner Mascara noted that the Board of Commissioners decided last year to delay the implementation of the surcharge for some eight months given the discussions that were ongoing at that time about the propriety of implementing a surcharge a year in advance of the implementation of 911, and it was the Board's decision at that time to defer the implementation of the 911 surcharge. And in the deliberations of the 1993 budget it was the decision of the Board of Commissioners to implement the surcharge effective September 1st. Brian Bark, 911 Coordinator, noted that the County's 911 Plan was filed last year with and approved by the three State regulatory agencies consisting of the PUC, DCA and PEMA. He noted that over the last year and a half, the County has spent about $1.2 million in preparing for the 911 System which will be implemented early next year. He also noted that over the next eight months, the County will be spending probably another $1.2 million which is subject to fluctuate a little bit because of the bid process. Mr. Bark stated that he feels Washington County will have a state-of-the-art system. He explained that Act 78, The Pennsylvania Emergency Telephone Act, allows the County to recover revenue to fund this service through $1.25 surcharge on the monthly phone bill, and that the money can only be spent for 911 services. Chairman Mascara complimented Mr. Bark on a job well done and thanked him for his hard work and concerns in implementing this new system.
