PRISON BOARD WASHINGTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
Commissioner Mascara questioned Warden Pelzer if the invoice from Herd's Drug
Store ($3,097.58) was included in the Blue Cross/Blue Shield coverage plan.
Warden Pelzer explained that this invoice is for the period of March 24th
through May 20th and part of it would be covered under the BC/BS plan which
became effective on April 12th. Warden Pelzer noted that the plan is working
out very well and they are seeing a substantial savings already from Washington
Hospital, the labs and even from the prescription drugs. A brief discussion
followed.

for the month of May as per above. Motion carried unanimously by the Board
signifying their approval by stating "Aye". (See list of bills attached hereto

Old Business: I
Commissioner Mascara reported to the Board that the Director of
Administration has asked the Board of Commissioners to make a statement of some
sort tomorrow at the Commissioners' meeting regarding the funding that the
County is requesting from the State's bond issue to construct the new Justice
Center. The statement is a verification that the County's Act 71 Application
has not changed from its original submission which requests reimbursement up to
$6,431,750 for construction of the new facility which has a projected
construction cost of $12,863,500. He noted that hopefully there will be some
additional funding left over that the County can receive.
