263
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:11,280
the agenda um at number 18 which was all
those um great projects um under SEDA

264
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:15,360
call that we're working on um funding
for. I just want to bring especially

265
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:18,880
attention to the barrierfree living um
which you know is just a line item on an

266
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:23,520
agenda but I would say it was a very
innovative program that's been brought

267
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:28,480
to life by the our housing authority and
one of our members of the uh area

268
00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:34,400
agencies area agency on aging staff um
to basically make uh all of our I

269
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:41,280
believe it's all of our um housing
complexes um uh bar bathrooms barrier

270
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:45,280
free. So, converting those um bathtubs
to like walk-in entry um so that those

271
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:50,720
are all accessible. So, I think that's
just a huge huge move and um a really

272
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:53,360
great opportunity. Um and then under new
business, I'm going to throw Tina a

273
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:57,840
surprise and we're going to do something
we haven't done before [laughter]

274
00:19:55,440 --> 00:20:01,600
and I'm going to um ask I'm going to
make a when you get to new business, I'm

275
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,480
going to ask to add a a item to the
agenda.

276
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,120

actually a requirement of the Penn State

want to help support them in that

283
00:20:28,559 --> 00:20:33,440

00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:24,799
um there was a request to um do a letter

297
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:30,720
don't believe we're acting on that as uh
as a board. Um but I believe

298
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:36,400
individually we are supporting um uh the
um

299
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:39,520
that sorry that the state has made a
three-person provider rule and that's

300
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,880
creating some havoc for some of our
families in the county. So, we're going

301
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:48,320

there's a three person that basically
each uh these families were required to

305
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:06,400
become a provider to be able to support
their family, but now they're now being

306
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:09,760
required to service at least three
individuals and that's creating a

307
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:14,159
hardship for several families within the
county. So I know I'm at least going to

308
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:17,840
be helping to support that. Um in
addition additionally

309
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:24,000
» to that Megan before we but we also met
last I think it was last week with

310
00:22:20,159 --> 00:22:30,159
» with se Senator uh uh Glover Glover
>> Senator or Representative Stirr and uh

311
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:34,080
Stender and they also are writing
letters also along with us. So we all

312
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:38,000
met together at the same time and we
talked about it. So this is something

313
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:42,240
that we all felt was something we needed
to do, not only for supporting our

314
00:22:39,919 --> 00:22:46,640
county, but for supporting, you know,
all the people in in the state that that

315
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:50,400
uh would it would be a hardship to do
this. So So be it. Okay, Megan, go

316
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:55,280
ahead.
>> Um the other thing is also in regard to

317
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:58,640
SEDCOG, um they are currently going
through a five-year plan for community

318
00:22:57,039 --> 00:23:03,679
and economic development across their
entire region. Um they are asking for

319
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:08,640
input. So there will be a QR code on our
website under the press releases area so

320
00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:15,120
that people can go there. So please do
go to our website and um fill out that

321
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:19,840
uh fill out that survey so that we can
make sure that our county is represented

322
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:25,280
well and people here uh in through the
study the things that we are looking for

323
00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:28,880
for our county. Um lastly um uh there we
had a salary board meeting the other

324
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:33,679
week that um you know was a little bit
contentious. Um there was we're making

325
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:38,480
some pretty dramatic changes. We've also
seen a lot of um recent resignations

326
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:44,559
when we're losing a huge amount of
institutional knowledge. Um so I'm we

327
00:23:41,919 --> 00:23:49,440
are making uh one more standardization
of policy. we're not going to move on it

328
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:53,760
as a board because it's more of a staff
policy, but that we're going to require

329
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:57,039
exit interviews for all staff resigning
from the county and those be attached to

330
00:23:55,360 --> 00:24:02,000
our status sheet so when we approve
them, we know what the situations are um

331
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:06,880
with with within the county. We just
have more knowledge about it uh and um

332
00:24:05,039 --> 00:24:10,400
transparency so that we can be aware of
issues in the departments if if there

333
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:14,480
are any issues that we can hopefully
address and move forward with. the other

334
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:18,960
I'm trying to push forward a county wage
enroll study, a test pilot study, so we

335
00:24:16,799 --> 00:24:23,200
can see what work people are doing, how
much we're paying comparatively to other

336
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:28,400
places. Just a pilot study so that we
can see if it's something we can do more

337
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:32,320
broadly across the county. Um, and thank
you very much. That's all I have. If

338
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:37,679
you're adding anything with that pilot
study, guys, I also in that pilot study

339
00:24:35,039 --> 00:24:42,559
would like the medical benefits and
retirement included in that because that

340
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:47,039
makes a big difference in North
umberland county compared to other

341
00:24:44,159 --> 00:24:51,840
county when we pay almost $40,000 for
family insurance for every individual in

342
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:57,520
the county that gets it. That's a big
added amount to their regular salary.

343
00:24:55,600 --> 00:25:01,600
» Absolutely. And on that note, um there
are a number of very good positions

344
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:06,159
available at the county with medical
benefits. So please check out our

345
00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:10,240
website um for um position potentially
available positions if you know someone

346
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:13,600
looking for a role that has stability
and benefits.

347
00:25:12,159 --> 00:25:18,640
» So before we adjourn, I want to thank
Tina. She did an outstanding job. Thank

348
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:24,799

school. [laughter]

349
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:29,840
Don't we are done talking
>> meeting? She did an outstanding job. She

350
00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:29,840
