The minutes of the March 3, 2021 meeting were reviewed. These will be decided
upon in the afternoon approval session.
The Board reviewed Agreements, Contracts and Reports. John Hart, Project
Manager provided more information on change order #007 from Frank Lesher Co. Inc.
for the Administration Building Project. Commissioner Flannery asked how the budget
looks overall with all the change orders coming through. Mr. Hart responded that he is
currently working with the Fiscal Director and pulling numbers together but he feels we
are still in good shape and still only at 2-2.5% of budget with change orders.
Commissioner Flannery asked if we researched other alternatives for action item #4 with
the Chambersburg Mall for a mass vaccination site at $6,000 per month plus utilities.
Carrie Gray, County Administrator, explained that there were a number of sites that were
assessed for viability but WellSpan was concerned about all of the other sites and they
feel that this location meets all their needs. Some of their criteria were openness of the
space inside, availability of parking, access, central location as well as total square foot
and infrastructure needed. Ms. Gray said that we may qualify to receive FEMA funds
that are available for mass vaccination sites to help cover the costs of the site.
Commissioner Flannery stated that he wants to make sure we are not paying for the full
we can cancel if we do not need the full 6 month lease. Commissioner Ziobrowski asked
if people from Cumberland County can access this site since the site is close to
Shippensburg and the response was yes but everyone has to schedule an appointment
either online or by phone through WellSpan. There will be information put on our
website to link people to the WellSpan appointment site. Chairman Keller asked for a
brief overview of action item #8 for OMSe platform. Warden Bill Bechtold explained that
their current OMS platform is outdated and no longer supported by the provider. The
new OMSe platform will allow them to fingerprint an individual on the way in and tie it to
a picture of the person. Jail staff will use this information to confirm the individual
identities upon release. The items will be decided upon in the afternoon approval
session.
The Board recessed and will reconvene at 2:00 p.m. for final approval of the
items that were reviewed.
The Board reconvened at 2:00 p.m.
There was no public comment.
