This agreement will be effective date of agreement -- through December 31, 2033. Before voting Commissioner Sherman made the following comments: He appreciates the Chamber but needs to do what is in the best interest of the taxpayers. He stated it is the job of a county commissioner to do economic development, stating it is why he was elected. He believes the Chamber has been a great partner,but we don't know what the future holds, and the fact that the contract ties the county to 10 years with an annual 3% increase with a 50% penalty for an early termination is not in the best interest of the taxpayers. Commissioner Maggi made the following comments before voting. He agrees with Commissioner Sherman that the Chamber has done a great job since 1997/98 with the energy sector, Southpointe I &II, and without an increase in 23 years through three boards of commissioners. He disagreed with Commissioner Sherman, saying economic development is up to the private sector, not the government. For the last 20 years, he stated,Washington County has been one of the few counties increasing in population and credited the Chamber with doing a good job with businesses. Commissioner Irey Vaughan provided the following commentary: Nowhere in the county code does it describe the job of commissioner to include economic development. For months, the board has discussed the Chamber contract and Commissioner Sherman asked to table it from last month's public meeting. She noted it is not a 10-year, but a five-year contract,with the option to renew in five years. Needs change,but the Chamber has a 24-year history, making a five-year contract acceptable. She also noted that the contract includes a description of services and additional duties to be performed. Related to the public comments about unaccounted LSA monies, the statement is not accurate. There is a three-step process in place in which the Dept of Community&Economic Development has oversight. Over the past 24 years, the Chamber of Commerce has made the region a leader in economic development and is the largest chamber in Southwestern Pennsylvania.
