Costa and Tyler Pope from WCSD;Deborah Dellorso from the Public Defender's Office; State Representative Bud Cook;WJPA Radio Reporter Joe Jasek; and citizens Jim Piper, Harold Close (North Strabane Township Supervisor), and Leslie Lore. Mrs. Vaughan called the meeting to order at approximately 2 p.m. and announced the meeting was being video and audio live streamed through YouTube and via the Commissioners' Facebook page. Commissioner Vaughan led the meeting in prayer. Commissioner Maggi introduced Jeff Gallagher, USMC veteran from Washington,who led the Pledge of Allegiance. Mrs. Vaughan entertained a motion to amend the agenda under Old Business, Item A to include the vendors. Moved by Mr. Sherman; seconded by Mr. Maggi, approving the amendment to the agenda. Roll call vote taken: Mr. Sherman—Yes;Mr. Maggi—Yes;Mrs. Vaughan—Yes. Motion carried unanimously. Mrs. Vaughan entertained a motion to approve Minute No. 1173, dated September 21, 2023.

Accepting the proclamation was Shannon Deely representing Domestic Violence Services of Southwestern PA. She thanked the Board for their support and noted that everyone knows someone who is a victim of domestic violence. Ms. Deely also asked that everyone share information about the services her organization offers. RECESS FOR PHOTOS PUBLIC COMMENT Washington County resident and North Strabane Township Supervisor Harold Close addressed the Commissioners during public comment. He commented on his lack of understanding about the MRA contract,which he said was a system which has failed for many years. He also complained saying it's not all about the money. COMMISSIONERS'RESPONSES Mr. Maggi thanked Mr. Close, saying Motorola came in after the bids were opened. Motorola knew what MRA had bid and then came in lower,Maggi said. Mr. Sherman reiterated the bids had been closed early. ADDITIONAL PUBLIC COMMENT Washington County resident and State Representative Bud Cook addressed the Commissioners during public comment. Mr. Cook spoke about LSA (Local Share Account) funds, claiming there is $10 million unaccounted for and demanded the Board address and correct this issue via a forensic audit. He continued saying the Board is spending excessive amounts of money fighting Right-to-Know requests. In his final comment,Mr. Cook requested rotating state legislator members, saying it had been rejected by the Board. ADDITIONAL COMMISSIONER'S RESPONSE Mrs. Vaughan spoke to Mr. Close,notifying him the 911 system awarded is not the same system currently being used. Secondly, she continued,ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) funding is being used to pay for the system and these funds are for property and equipment upgrades only and won't cover an entirely new system like the one proposed by Motorola. Thirdly, she stated the proposals, "which Commissioner Sherman pushed to...award in December," contained a proposal from Motorola for more than$10 million more in up- front costs. The other proposal,Mrs. Vaughan continued,was received after the award had already been made. Finally, the annual costs to the 911 budget,with the proposal chosen, are significantly lower due to the use of existing towers. In this proposal, she said, the Board will be able to provide a great number of radios to municipalities and public safety departments,which would not have been possible with the Motorola bid. Mr. Sherman then stated the Board closed the bids on Wednesday when it was supposed to be on Friday,not giving Motorola the opportunity to bid. Mrs. Vaughan rebutted saying Motorola was contacted and no response was received. Mr. Sherman said Motorola had radios and with MRA they still don't have radios on their bid. Mrs. Vaughan told Mr. Sherman he was not being accurate with the information he was sharing. Mr. Sherman disagreed. Mrs. Vaughan then spoke to the remarks made by Mr. Cook regarding the LSA funds saying this account was designed to keep politics out of awards.When gaming legislation was put into effect, she stated, the Board had a very short window to decide how to disperse funds. To keep politics out of funding,Mrs. Vaughan explained, they tapped an existing economic roundtable committee and later expanded to include various politically held positions, all of which is monitored by the Department of Community and Economic Development. This Board, she continued, has never once deviated from the recommendations of the committee. There is always money sitting in the account,because as projects are awarded entities are not always immediately ready to move forward. The Right-to-Know comment is inaccurate, according to Mrs. Vaughan.The one request being referred to that went to court was one with the Redevelopment Authority of Washington County,which is a separate independent entity, she said.
