stated that the original of the enclosed Grant from Spang Industries, Inc. , was submitted to the
County of Washington; and Spang is dissatisfied with the descriptions and the calculated area.
Mr. Zeman also stated that we have always felt that the descriptions were vague but we realize
t the best description would require an on -ground survey; but the County does not wish to
this expenditure unless a condemnation proceedings would require it. Clay Graham and
Adamski of Spang have come up with what might be an acceptable alternative - a "Calcu-
ated" metes and bounds description based on McDonald Associates' plot.
. Whalen explained that Spang Industries is not satisfied with the descriptive terms and that
. Zeman is requesting McDonald Associates to get in touch with Spang Industries to try and
iron out the descriptive terms they they want used in the easement. Mr. Flynn stated that
is not satisfied with the manner in which the boundary lines are described. Further discussion
held, and it was decided that Mr. Zeman should contact Spang Industries to see exactly
t they would accept.

Mr. Whalen read a letter dated March 18, 1975, from J. F. Dwyer, Director,
Department of Labor and Industry directed to the Washington County Home Women's Building
which stated that the "Statement of Deficiences and Plan of Correction, " signed March 3, 1975,
is not acceptable for the following reasons: Provider did not respond to Statement of Deficienci
Mr. Dwyer stated that Washington County has the right to appeal to the Industrial Board and
that this appeal should be presented to the Industrial Board within thirty (30) days from receipt
of this letter. Mr. Whalen then presented background information on this particular subject.
He stated that in reply to the Department of Labor and Industry's letter on their recent state-
ment of deficiencies and plans for correction, it was pointed out to the Department that the
County is in the process of expending over $7 million to correct all of the deficiencies in both
of the institutions. Mr. Whalen further stated that we requested that they give us an extension
or the necessary relief from these provisions because it only meant that the County would have
to spend an additional $40, 000 - $100, 000 to make the repairs which the Department is talking
about; and this money would have to come from the fund that is set aside to construct the new
facility.
Mr. Whalen: Obviously, the Department of Labor and Industry has rejected our plea. They
say that if a new plan is not completed and submitted, the Department will have to initiate a
show cause action. I would interpret that to mean that a closing order would be the next move
by the Department of Labor and Industry as far as the Women's Facility is concerned.
Further discussion was held. Mr. Flynn asked whether the Department takes into
consideration the money we have already spent, the money we anticipate to spend, etc.
Mr. Whalen replied that up until now, their argument with the County has been that the County
has not evidenced good faith by entering into the necessary contracts by construction of a new
facility. Mr. Whalen further. stated that that is no longer a valid argument on their part. He
commented that the extended care facility is well underway, everyone is ready to move, and
the construction plan has been approved. Mr. Whalen recommended that the County do file the
objection for the reason stated - good faith has been exhibited.
Moved by Mr. Jones, seconded by Mr. Paluso, that the Board do file this appeal as
per above.
(Further discussion was held. )
Roll call vote taken:
Mr. Jones - Yes; Mr. Paluso - Yes; Mr. Flynn - Yes.
Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Whalen then read a letter dated March 19, , 1975, from the Department of Public
Welfare directed to Mr. John Showalter, Administrator, Washington County Home for Women,
which informed Mr. Showalter that the Department is unable to issue the facility a Medical
es.

Assistance Program Intermediate Care Facility Agreement. Letter further stated that the
Department of Labor and Industry has not recommended certification of this facility in the
Program for failure to submit an acceptable "Plan of Correction" for Life Safety Code Stan-
dards. Letter also stated that effective April 18, 1975, said facility will no longer be eligible
to receive payments under the Medical Assistance Program for intermediate care provided to
Medical Assistance patients. Letter further stated that Washington County has the right to
appeal within thirty (30) days of the date of said letter.
Moved by Mr. Jones, seconded by Mr. Paluso, that the Board file an appeal in
the above case.
Roll call vote taken:
Mr. Jones - Yes; Mr. Paluso - Yes; Mr. Flynn - Yes.
Motion carried unanimously.
(Authorization to Advertise)
Moved by Mr. Jones, seconded by Mr. Paluso, authorizing the Chief Clerk to

Mr. Whalen advised that Mr. Flynn had directed a memorandum to Mr. Mascara,
Controller, relative to the 1974 Controller's Annual Report. Mr, Whalen read Mr. Mascara's
reply dated April 2, 1975.
In reply to your memorandum dated March 31, 1975,
concerning the Controller's Annual Report for 1974,
please be advised that I have requested and received

Mr. Whalen stated that attached to Mr. Mascara's memorandum was a copy
of a court order signed by Judge Sweet extending the date to 12:00 noon on Tuesday,
April 15, 1975.
Mr. Whalen stated the next issue was the case of Andrew Dezack, Stanley Brovey
and BlancheColeman, who were formerly employed by the Court, Mr. Whalen then read a copy
of a letter signed by President Judge, Charles G. Sweetdated March 27, 1975, addressed to

You have in your possession my letter of October 23, 1973, directing you
not to pay Mr. Brovey and an Administrative Regulation In Re: Stanley
Brovey dated the 16th of November 1973. These are now inoperative.
Of course you understand that my orders were to prevent you from
paying Brovey as a judicial or court -related employee because we
discharged him as Court Duty Officer on or about the 12th of

of Flynn, Jones, Paluso, Elish and Curran, J. , voted to engage
Carl Sperl as Court Duty Officer and Sperl was shortly thereafter
replaced by Thomas Mears. Brovey has not worked for the courts
since that date and as everyone knows, our position was upheld by
a unanimous Supreme Court.
If, however, the Washington County Board of Commissioners chooses
to pay Mr. Brovey as their employee, not as the court's employee,
I would have no right or standing under these circumstances to
direct you not to pay him, and any new check presented to you
representing payment to Brovey as a Commissioners' employee
should be handled by you in due course, without reference to the
instruments hereinabove cited.
Nothing herein contained directs you to do anything. We only withdraw
a direction. This letter has the approval of my colleagues, DiSalle,
Gladden, Hanna and Simmons, J. J.
Further discussion was held and the Chair recommended approval of payment to these
people and it would be determined from the Solicitor just how ,payment should be made, whethe:
or not they would be classified as employees of the Court or employees of the Commissioners.
