Chairman stated that the Board had requested Mr. Graham, Land Acquisition
Agent, to get in touch with Mr. Zeman regarding the status of the Chartiers Creek Flood
Control Project, as a result of the meeting in Canonsburg.
Mr. Zeman stated that he has done everything that the. Board instructed him to
do at the meeting in Canonsburg, Mr. Zeman stated that among the items was the
preparation of a new description for the Fort Pitt deed. Mr. Zeman stated that he has
the survey that Mr. DeiCas made on June 27, 1975, and prepared a description and sub-
mitted it to Fort Pitt for its counsel's approval. Mr. Zeman then stated that he is
hopeful that the solicitor of Fort Pitt will find no objections. Mr. Zeman stated that he
prepared a petition for transfer of the properties to the Canon -McMillan School District,

approval from him.

received Mr. Costello's petition from the School District, he was unable to prepare the

description. Mr. Zeman stated that to save time, he utilized the technique of attaching
the description as a exhibit to the petition; the petition is ready except for the exhibit.
Mr. Zeman stated that Mr. Costello told him that he has the School District's petition
ready to be signed, and that he was to get a copy of it. Mr. Zeman stated that he has
not as yet received a copy. Mr. Zeman further stated that everything depends on the
receipt of that petition. Mr. Zeman stated that as soon as Costello has it, and assuming
that it is satisfactory, he will then present the petition to` the Court. Mr. Zeman stated
that it was his intention to have a consolidated petition, but Costello didn't like the idea,
and Mr. Zeman agreed that it was better to have separate petitions. Mr. Zeman stated
that in going over the type of notice that is required, he discussed this with Mr. Costello,
and he said that his position was that the applicable section of the County Code requires
advertising once a week for three consecutive weeks. Mr. Zeman stated that this is a
mandatory requirement, and the title of the School District would not be satisfactory with-
out observing this. Mr. Zeman stated that ".he checked the local rules and he fine -combed
them, and stated that 'he could find nothing in the local rules that were variants; nothing
in the cited cases would vary the requirements of the code. Mr. Zeman stated that we
are in a position at this point to submit the petition to the Court, get a number and a
term, and proceed to advertise. Mr. Zeman stated that Mr. Costello is in accord with
his position that there is no point in taking a half of a page of newspaper for meets and
bounds descriptions; that it should be sufficient to incorporate by reference and make
reference to the place where the documents can be examined. Mr. Zeman stated that at
this point, insofar as the County Commissioners are concerned, and as far as he and
Mr. Gilmore are concerned, they have done everything possible; we are node waiting for
them.
R emarks :
Mr. Paluso summarized Mr. Zeman's report by stating that we are now waiting for the
receipt of the petition from Mr. Costello of Canon -McMillan School District. Then we
have to receive the title OK from the Forbes Steel Solicitor.
Mr. Zeman explained that the property which the County is transferring to Forbes Steel
is that which it is getting from the school district. Mr. Zeman stated that what they
are getting from the school district would be the subject of Mr. Costello's petition.
Mr. Paluso stated that after we get that, we have to advertise for three weeks. Mr. Pal so
stated that all we have to do is call Mr. Costello and ask him if the petition was in the
mail.
Mr. Zeman stated that Mr. Costello stated that the petition would be in the mail.
Mr. Paluso suggested that Mr. Zeman telephone Mr. Costello.
Mr. Paluso then referred to an item on the agenda - a bill for Forbes Steel Corporation
in the amount of $2, 366. 00. Mr. Paluso stated that this bill was for moving the steel
off of the property and if we authorize that, we should add the condition that it is not to
be moved until the paper work is done.
Mr. Zeman stated that he noticed the item on the agenda and didn't understand why that
was to be done at this point with the matter not completed.

Mr. Flynn stated that we will get in touch with Mr. Costello and tell him that time is
of the essence.
Mr. Zeman stated that there cannot possibly be any competitive bidders.
Mr. Paluso stated that we can proceed and tell the engineers to go ahead in the
assumption that there cannot be any other bidders.

and that necessity demands that we know the details.

Mr. Paluso asked if it would help if the Planning Commission sent out this update, along
with a cover letter, to the communitie r -who have not completed the necessary paperwork,

also stated that after the bridge is repaired, the residents in that area will be notified

Authority, which stated that they would like to obtain some personnel under the Manpower
Program. Said letter stated that at one time, Manpower had allocated them close to
twelve individuals; however, due to the process of elimination and pressures from other
quarters, it seems that the Washington County Housing Authority has been put on the
bottom of the list for this additional manpower.

to cooperate as much as his budget will permit.

Manpower Program. Mr. Paluso stated that one of the policemen, has been hired as a
permanent employee in that Borough, and have replaced him with another unemployed persc
Mr. Paluso stated that since California Borough is exhibiting this kind of good faith in
the Manpower Program, maybe they should be given a little extra consideration. Mr. Palw
referred to Hanover Township, and stated that they said theft if their budget allows it, they
will hire the policemen under the Manpower Program as permanent employees also.
Mr. Paluso stated that he thinks that California Borough and Hanover Township should be
given extra consideration, because most of the Manpower people are not being hired
permanently.
Chairman stated that the above letters will be referred to Mr. Piganell's office. Chair
stated for the record that the Board also acknowledges a similar request from Hanover
Township. Chairman stated that they will recommend that if the money is available,

Chief Clerk referred to the matter of the taxiway and runway at the County
Airport that was discussed at the last regular meeting. Chief Clerk stated that on Friday
he and Commissioner Flynn spent considerable time at the airport inspecting the facilities
Chairman stated that Mr. Whalen, Mr. Tenaglia, and himself spent considerable
time going over the entire airport facility. Chairman stated that work had been done
previously on the approaches to the landing strip, and judging by what he saw, the work
was in vain because the condition is worse now than what it was originally. Chairman
stated that he is not trying to find fault with the people who did the work, but the upheava
of the runway is worse than before. Chairman stated that the Federal Aviation Authority
could very well close down the airport at any time. Chairman stated that if someone hits
that end of the runway, they could very well end up in the hollow. Chairman further
stated that the whole problem stems from the sewer in the middle, between the taxiway
and the runway. Chairman stated that Michael Baker, Jr., did the original work on the
entire airport and are very knowledgeable insofar as airport work is concerned. Chairm
stated that in view of the fact that Michael Baker, Jr., did the work and have all of the
diagrams and know the condition of the soil, he would suggest that the Board consider
having Michael Baker, Jr., make an inspection of the airport.

Account, through which the new Extended Care Facility is being financed. Chief Clerk
stated that in the beginning of the program when the architects were employed, the
Fiscal Assistance Trust Fund Account was not yet set up for the disbursal of funds; all
of the funds at that time were invested. Chief Clerk stated that on January 18, 1974, we
paid to Wallover & Mitchell the initial payment of $15, 000 from our Capital Reserve
Account; and on March 27, 1975, we made the first payment to them on the contract of
$24, 463. 99, for a total amount of $39, 463.99. Chief Clerk then recommended that the,
Board approve the repayment of this amount of money from the Fiscal Assistance Trust
