WARDEN'S REPORT
Warden Strawn recommended to the Board, on behalf of the Washington County Correctional
Facility, to approve the extension of the current bid contract for kitchen and laundry equipment
repair with AIS Commercial Parts & Service, Pittsburgh, PA. This extension is based on time and
material cost. All work will be performed on a time and material basis as needed. This contract will
be effective April 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020, with the option to extend for one additional year.
This contract extension is contingent upon the Board of Commissioners' approval in their meeting to
be held on February 7, 2019, Minute No. 1076.
Warden Strawn recommended to the Board, on behalf of the Washington County Correctional
Facility, to approve an increase in the current contract with Thomas A. Dietrich, DDS. Dr. Dietrich is
requesting an increase from $100 to $125 for the cost of extractions. All other terms and conditions
of the current contract will remain in full force and effect. Dr. Dietrich has been providing these
services to the correctional facility since 1987, and the request for the increase is reasonable. This
contract extension is contingent upon the Board of Commissioners' approval in their meeting to be
held on February 7, 2019, Minute No.1076.
Warden Strawn recommended to the Board, on behalf of the Washington County Correctional
Facility, to approve the recommendation to promote Jamie Restanio from Alternative Sentencing

Facility, to approve the recommendation to promote Christopher Kashok from Correctional Officer to
Captain. Mr. Kashok has been employed as an officer with the correctional facility since 2016.
Mrs. Vaughan inquired as to the last time that the County had put the dental contract out for
bid noting that Dr. Dietrich has been providing the service since 1987. Warden Strawn stated that he
was not sure, but he commended Dr. Dietrich's service to the County. Warden Strawn stated that it is
difficult to find anyone to come into the facility to perform such services.
It was moved by Mr. Shober and seconded by Mr. Romano, approving the Warden's Report.
