Motion carried unanimously.
Sdial Order of Business:
Chairman requested that the Chief Clerk read the following petition
directed to the County Commissioners and presented by several citizens of
various communities in Washington County regarding Certain roads located in the
Cross Creek Park area.
P E T I T I O N
The undersigned; elected officials of the various
municipalities involved, and other interested citizens, respect-
fully request the County Commissioners of Washington County to
replace Pennsylvania Legislative Route 62022 with a road that
runs in a North -South direction through the proposed Cross Creek
Park. The undersigned, having made a thorough study of transpor-
tation and roadways in this area, believe that such a North -South
roadway is mandated and some of the reasont for this mandate are
set forth below:
1. That residents are cut off from a direct route
to the Medical Center at Atlasburg, and are cut
off from the medical facilities to -wit; physician
at Hickory, Pennsylvania. The new medical center,
of course, will be a bi4 asset to the residents,
however, transportation to the medical center is
most important.
2. In the matter of public education, school bus
routes will be lengthened unless a proposed
roadway in a North -South direction be constructed.
Any lengthening of school bus routes naturally
is an increase in expense and an increase in
taxation, let alone the additional travel time
for the children. The numerous activities that
the High School will require additional mileage
by thos;citizens who desire to attend these
activities.

3. At the present lime, many citizens use Legislative
Route 62022 to go to and from their various occupa-
tions, ah&,imany farmers who attend the feed mill
and auction at Hickory also use Legislative Route
62022. The increased travel by the failure to
erect such a road would be a burden on these
citizens.
It is our position that the citizens who now reside in our community
should be given every preference over a recreation facility that will
be built in the future. These are the folks who have supported the
various municipalities as taxpayers, and they should not, by reason
of the proposed Cross Creek Park, be penalized in any manner. It is
our position that a North -South verad through the proposed park would
be most beneficial to all the residents affected,and we hope that the
Washington County Commissioners will act favorably upon our Petition.
Mr. Robert Sweger, Chairman of the Hopewell Township Supervisors then
gave a brief history on the reason for the foregoing petition.
Mr. Sweger: At a meeting on June 20, 1976 at our township with Mr. George, he
made the statement that the Commissioners didn't really understand what this was
all about. We tried to come up with the best way to explain this to the
Commissioners, and thought that a petition from the elected officials of our area
would be the most effective way. You will find all areas represented on the
petition except Cross Creek Township. (Mr. Sweger then called upon Mr. Lee
Adamson, Chairman of the Washington County Soil Conservation District who gave
a further explanation regarding this matter.)
Mr. Morgan then called upon Mr. Richard Glance of the Washington
County Planning Commission to give his findings on the feasibility and technical
problems involved in this project.' Mr. Glance -presented his findings on the
existing traffic -patterns -,and- function of the toads within the study area.
He displayed a engineers' -drawing of the Cross Creek area showing the different
legislative routes through the Park and reported on the traffic flow on each
route. (Discussion followed including questions from several concerned citizens.)
Mr. Michael George, Director of Parks and Recreation came forward
to answer some questions from the citizens.
Mr. Morgan drew the discussion to a conclusion and stated that the
Board and all the technical advisors would continue on with the project and would
certainly give the petitioners every consideration possible that is economically
feasible and would meet the crit6eka of all the governmental agencies involved.
Mr. Morgan added that the petitioners would be informed as to what decision is
made. He expressed his personal thoughts by stating that he felt we should do
everything we can to upgrade the peripheral roads around the area. Mr. Morgan
thanked the citizens for presenting their petition, and Mr. George and Mr.
Glance for the presentation -of their findings.
Chief Clerk then read'a letter dated August 12, 1976 from the
Board of Supervisors of Cross Creek Township expressing their appreciation to
the Commissioners for the last minute efforts of Mr. Michael George in meeting

Dear Commissioners:
The Board of Beaver County Commissioners have joined
Representative Charles Laughlin and Bill Eckensbarger, who
are co-sponsors of legislation through the magisterial code
that will reinstate $5.00 costs assessed in driving fines.
The former $5.00 cost was hiked to $10.00 and then changed
back to $5.00. Since the Counties are required to finance
distiict justices at considerable cost, the Board of
Commissioners feel that the increased charge should be re-
instated.
We urge your support of this legislation.
s/sl Eli G. Corak, Chairman
Eugene V. Atkinson
George T. Pettibon
Moved by Mr. Paluso, seconded by Mr. Gilmore, that the Board endorse
their support for the above legislation.
Roll call vote taken:
Mr. Gilmore - Yes; Mr. Paluso - Yes; Mr. Morgan - Yes.
Motion carried unanimously.
Chief Clerk requested authorization to advertise for bids for
furniture and equipment for the Domestic Relations Program. Mr. Morgan stated
that this was due to the expansion for the federal Child Support Program.
Moved by Mr. Paluso, seconded by Mr. Morgan, that the Board authorize
the Chief Clerk to advertise for bids as per above.
(Discussion)
Mr. Gilmore: I would like a list of what they want.
Mr. Brady: I don't have the list with me, but they want two typewriters, a' -desk,
filing cabinet and chair. It is just general office gquipment. The revised
cost is $5,000,00, 1 believe.
Mr. Paluso: This will all be paid out of federal funds presently held in
escrow and no expenditure from County funds.
Mr. Gilmore: I have read those regulations several times, and everybody says
it is not going to cost the County anything. Those regulations keep saying
75%. Now if somebody is paying 75%, obviously someone else is paying 25%;
and nobody has been able to explain to me yet, and I think Mr. Gillespie will
agree with me. The federal people and the Judge keep saying this is never going
to cost the County a dime, but that program doesnYt say 100% funding, it says
75%.
Mr. Morgan: At this time, we have the federal funds in the bank to pay for this
item and this particular item is not going to cosvt` .Csn ty�anything. The day
it starts costing the County, then we will review it.
Mr. Paluso: The meeting with Mr. Stewart from Harrisburg, who is running this
program for the state of Pennsylvania with the money supplied by the federal
government, he definit6ty stated that this would not cost any of its funds.
The money could be applied to any improvements, equipment, help or anything to
upgrade the Domestic Relations Office. At that time, he was informed, and I
believe I made the statement, that Mr. Stewart if this ever does cost any money
this agreement is cancelled forthwith, and that stands on the record of the
meeting, I believe.
Mr. Gilmore: But he doesn't make the regulations and the regulations say 75%
and somewhere algng the line we are going to get an audit and we are going to
have go come up with 25% of whatever was spent. I think that is going to happen
without fail. It may not be this year, next year or the year after,that, but
it is going to happen one of these days.
Mr. Morgan: At the last Salary Board, we authorized the expansion of personnel
and I think we have to get some desks and seats for them to work on. I don't
think we have any choice at this stage. One thing leads to another, but I think
we are going to have to authorize the purchase for some equipment for these
people.
