The minutes of the January 25, 2023 meeting were reviewed. On a motion by Robert G.
Ziobrowski, seconded by John T. Flannery; unanimously approved the minutes.
The Board reviewed Agreements, Contracts and Reports. Chairman Keller asked for
more information on board action item #12, the agreement with Tuscarora Managed Care
Alliance (TMCA) to provide funds to the County to help more veterans receive food through the
Military Share Program. John McPaul, Community Outreach and Events Coordinator for
Veteran Affairs, provided an update on the Military Share Program that has grown considerably
since it started in May 2022. They now have two distribution dates per month and are capped
on participants until the food bank can provide another truck. He continued that they are
spending a lot more than they originally thought they would so the reinvestment funds will help
cover some of the costs. The program is funded through the Human Services Development
Fund and donations from the community including the American Legion out of St. Thomas. He
explained that there are 20 volunteers that help each day. Catya Bookhamer, HHS Planning &
Development Director for Managed Care, explained further that reinvestment funds can be
spent in a variety of ways. One big push they currently have is to address veterans' social
determinants of health needs that can range from clothing, childcare, food and housing. When
her department heard that the Military Share Program has been successful and growing so
rapidly, they realized they have Medicaid military members and their families in Franklin and
ith reinvestment funds. She said it is the perfect

counties. John and the folks in V

TMCA we have been able to serve more people for less money per person in behavioral health
areas. Savings that result from the agreement with Medicaid can be reinvested into other
Commissioner Flannery asked Mr. McPaul to break down what these families are receiving as
far as products and how long that sustains them. John responded that each family receives a
25 lb. box of dry goods, a 20 lb. box of fresh produce, milk, eggs, meat each month that
changes each month, breads, cakes, and ice teas. This is supplemental food but for some the
meals last two weeks. He mentioned that Brownsville Church of God held a food drive and they
handed out those items during the distribution also. Commissioner Ziobrowski asked if they
think anyone is taking advantage of this
responded that there are some higher end vehicles but the vast majority are people who are in
need of the food, are thankful for the program. Chairman Keller said that inflation seems to be
heading in the rig
grocery store. He thanked them for helping people make ends meet. The items will be decided
upon in the afternoon session.

The Commissioners presented a check to South Central Community Action Programs
(SCCAP) for the January dress down fundraiser. Keri Kenney, Human Resources Coordinator,
said that in January they decided to support the homeless shelter that is administered through
SCCAP. Their mission is to empower, engage, and cultivate community action and create
innovative and effective solutions to end poverty. They do a lot for the community and provide
all kinds of resources so she thought the homeless shelter was a great idea for January. Ms.
Kenney stated that employees raised $645 for this fundraiser. Megan Shreve, Executive
Director of SCCAP, thanked everyone for the donations. She said that every little bit of money
helps to keep the shelter open and that the Commissioners have been gracious to support them
with the higher inflation they are seeing more seniors that are homeless. They saw three
seniors over the age of 65 in the last three mont

Alexis Pennings, Risk Manager, and Keith Wentz, Risk Management Director from PA
Counties Risk Pool (PCoRP), provided information on the intergovernmental insurance pool
program and presented the Commissioners with a PCoRP recognition for being a member since
2008. Chairman Keller said that the county has been a member of County Commissioners
Association of Pennsylvania (CCAP) for a long time and a member of PCoRP since 2008. Mr.
Wentz provided the history of the program and explained that John Sallade started this program
in 1987 because of the difficulties counties were having getting insurance. Many counties could
not get liability insurance or it was cost prohibitive. The counties turned to CCAP for assistance.
He explained the following: PCoRP is an intergovernmental insurance pool owned and
governed by the members; counties enter PCoRP
forth the governance of the program and the rights and responsibilities of the members; PCoRP
is governed by a thirteen-member Board of Directors which is responsible for setting policy; and
directing the operations of PCoRP. He stated there is a wide range of experience and
knowledge on the board. Mr. Wentz explained that the purpose of PCoRP is to provide
property, liability, automobile and other related insurance coverage to PA counties. There is a
lot of other related insurance coverage out there right now, with cyber being one of the biggest.
The goals of PCoRP are: continue the availability of coverage to make it broad and meet the
needs of the counties; have broad coverage tailored to meet the needs of counties; have price
stability; ensure there is an efficient use of excess funds, the surplus belongs to the members.
The surplus is provided to all PCoRP members. He explained the benefits they offer include:
free or low cost risk management services; loss control grant program, risk incentive program
related to Risk Managers and risk control; personalized claims management; and rates provided
in advance to assist with the county budget process. He continued that they provide the
following benefits: PCoRP loss control grants up to $35,000 per county with no matching
requirement and since 2008 Franklin County has received $175,000 total in loss prevention
grants; prison risk management review is a $4,500 value; human resources policy risk
management review is a $4,500 value; boiler and elevator inspections; STOPIT program fraud
prevention program, all no cost to the county. Mr. Wentz continued that the benefits Franklin
County has received is: $132,437 in dividends from 2010-2019; $175,000 in loss prevention
grants from 2012-2022; loss control incentive credit of $71,499 from 2008-2022; and Risk
Manager credit of $91,742 for the county having a Risk Manager from 2009-2022. Total
benefits returned is $470,678 that comes back to the county. He stated that in traditional
insurance that amount would go to the shareholders. The PCoRP Board wants the money to go
back to the shareholders which are the members. Chairman Keller asked if PCoRP is the
insurance company or are we getting it from other carriers. Mr. Wentz responded that with the
risk pool there is a level of coverage the county has to provide on their own, which is retention
but then PCoRP is the next level, and they have reinsurers in the event of catastrophic losses.
He continued that we don

of how some dollars have been spent. Carrie responded that we purchased cameras for
security and vests. Alexis said that the two most recent PCoRP grants are focused on
implementing Origami Risk which is an online incident reporting program. . She continued that
a lot of it went to cameras and making the county safe. Mr. Wentz said that peers that sit on the
board love these grants because it gets targeted to specific kinds of risk control prevention
efforts. The investment of dollars is wise and they appreciate that the county is spending every
Commissioner Flannery asked how many Pennsylvania counties utilize PCoRP. Mr. Wentz
responded that they are at 52 counties and 5 county related entities for a total of 57 members.
Commissioner Ziobrowski said that Mr. Wentz mentioned that we have a 5% discount at
$91,000 which tells him that we have paid in $1.8M over the last 15 years. The amount we pay
in per year on average is a little over $100,000 a year. Mr. Wentz stated that Franklin County is
part of the pool. Commissioner Ziobrowski said we have gotten back 25 cents on the dollar
which is a good return. Mr. Wentz said that there is a 5% opportunity that Franklin County
receives and not every member gets that 5%. Franklin County is doing well in terms of not
having significant issues which goes into the equation as well. There are so many things that
go into the equation and losses are the big one that is the driving force. Commissioner

continued that it comes as no surprise that his talents and efforts have not gone unnoticed, but
his leadership at all levels of the state is really something else. He thanked Justin.

appreciates it. He stated that he has a great leadership team to work for, an excellent Board,
they are to him. He st
he loves what he does and will continue to bring more and thanked them for this recognition.
Carrie Gray, County Administrator, said there are a number of folks here to present an
update on the Key Concepts Committee. She introduced Anna Bostic, Administrative Officer,
as the new head of the Key Concepts Committee who stepped into the role mid-way through the
e good work that the
Commissioners and the Key Concepts committee have established. She wanted to first start by
recognizing Commissioner John Flannery and have him say a few words. Commissioner
Flannery said he wanted to give a brief description of the inception of this idea. He said he was
doing an interview and the discussion was related to cost savings in the county. He was asked
if employees give feedback and offer suggestions throughout the county to their managers and
Continued on page 6
supervisors in regards to helping the county save money. At that time being with the county for
3 1/2 years he realized we have great managers and supervisors throughout several
departments so he asked if there was anything we could do to open that dialogue to let staff
have a voice and make suggestions. Carrie Gray had a brilliant idea when we were interviewing
for the Communications Coordinator. She suggested assigning this as a task for the applicants
to present during the interview process to move this program forward. Sheena Baker won and
everyone involved on the committee are credited for where we are today. He thanked them.
He continued that Corey Fake started as administrator for the program and now Anna Bostic
every employ
excited about it. He continued that the committee itself consists of six members that do not
rotate but wanted to open it up for other employees to have a voice throughout the different
departments throughout the county so they can be on the committee to review the suggestions.
With so many employees and so many different locations, this provides a link to get those
employees to the Commissioners. Even with communications there are so many things that
Program researched some of the suggestions that were really in-depth on what it would take to
develop them and to find out if they are even able to save us money or provide something better
for the County. It has been a huge benefit at the end of the day. He turned it over to Anna
Bostic who explained the first meeting began with 11 members in October 2021 and they held
monthly meetings. The year ended in October 2022 with a selection of four new members for
2023. There were 51 submissions, 15 were determined by the committee to not be cost savings
measures, 5 were approved to move forward, 12 were already in motion, and 4 were selected
by the Leadership Development Program for further evaluation.
Carrie Gray, John Thierwechter and Tiffany Bloyer explained the following five concepts
that were approved to move forward and provided details for each: Housing position at the Jail
that will work with inmates who need a home plan in order to return to the community at their
minimum release date; letter folding machine for Tax Assessment that is being shared by Voter
Registration during non-election times; employee referral program that will provide a cash bonus
to employees who refer a successful new hire after they have worked with the County for 12
months; no smoking campus where the county will offer smoking cessation programs for
employees who are interested in addition to a policy of smoke free zones within 20 feet from all
county buildings already in place; and bulk battery purchases where everyone who orders goes
through Procurement to order from Amazon Basics. This is currently in the evaluation phase to
review if the batteries last as long as the more expensive batteries. Chairman Keller asked how
market for labor these days why is this something she felt good about supporting. Ms. Bloyer
their employer, will tell good people to come work for the county. There are opportunities for
people here and if we can incentivize our own employees to help find great people that will stay,
there is a cost savings to the county. Commissioner Flannery stated as a private business
owner the largest expense was training and turnover. If an employee stayed for a year most
likely that employee was going to stay longer. He can attest that this one would benefit the
county.
Ms. Gray wanted to review the items that were suggested that were already in motion
gave us an opportunity to develop a communications campaign and let folks know what we
were up to. Ms. Gray, Mr. Thierwechter and Ms. Bloyer explained the following already in
motion concepts and provided details for each: Electronic workflow for payment approval which
is an electronic workflow for approval of payment for budgeted items; Judicial Center lights to
revise the light schedule and installed switches to reduce utility costs; Admin Building exterior
lights to adjust the lights to come on at sunset opposed to coming on during the day;
consolidation of Human Services Departments to the same location. We will consider moving

scheduled for 2023 and civil e-filing is under consideration; Infocon replacement with Laserfiche

enter items being filed; Employee Recognition to include recognizing employees for things they
do outside of work for the community; remote options for staff that provides up to two days per
week of remote work for eligible positions; Employee Mentorship program to mentor new hires
with current employees and teach job specific duties; four 10-hour days, we have had three 12-
hour days in some offices now, this is being piloted with a few offices currently; and Corrections
Officers training time when hiring an officer and paying them to be extra on the floor for two
months until an academy starts. Ms. Bloyer explained that last year during the Leadership
Program each group had to pick a project to present and there were four groups. It was a great
opportunity for them to do teamwork and presentation skills as well as learn county operations.
She explained the first project was remote work locations for staff to find other work stations
throughout the county to do their work versus going back and forth to the office. The group did
look into this and they found a lot of different facilities that could be used but the hang up would
often be there is no Wi-Fi or no internet access. Ms. Bloyer stated that they are still looking into
this to offer some remote work and as broadband improves it will be more of an option. Kevin
Hoffman from Property Management explained that his group reviewed the contract for vehicle
refurbish a facility we already have into a garage. His group is recommending the County work
with a garage we already use to give us a volume discount. Alexa Gross from Children & Youth
explained that her group reviewed the cut back on paper usage and they concluded that it would
be a cost savings to cut back on paper and associated supplies. If the whole county cuts back
by 25% we would save $500,000 in 10 years. There are trainings, programs for e-signing, and
other options that could be used to help cut back on paper, ink, and printer usage, which they
concluded would be cost effective. Ms. Bloyer said that this will roll over into the next leadership
group to take it to the next step. She continued that the other Key Concept project that came
through was blue bags that are filled with emergency tools and to include Zoll which is a wall-
stationed AED system. The group concluded that Zoll is expensive and it would not do what we
need it to do. Nicole Boling from Planning took it upon herself and the group worked to create a
grant to purchase AEDs for senior activity centers and it saved the county money by finding a
grant to pay for them. One thing that came out of this project was the opportunity that will save
time and money is to look at the blue bag process. Ms. Bloyer said that Risk Management and
the Safety Committee will take it to the next step and look at ways to be more efficient and
effective with some of the processes in Risk Management that are tied to this key concept. It is
a great idea and they will continue to move forward with it as a result of the research.
Commissioner Flannery stated that even with some of the suggestions that
there were other things that came out of them that we are moving forward with. He was vague

he thanked him. Chairman Keller thanked Commissioner Flannery for his leadership and the
role he played on the Key Concepts comm

Commissioner Ziobrowski said that he has some observations and some reflections. First, he
noticed that the volunteers serving on the oversight committee exceed the number of members
which sometimes doesn't happen but apparently there is a level of enthusiasm. He saw in the
presentations earlier that a certain level of esprit de corps that may have existed before but may
have been enhanced. What is found in any bureaucracy when they have many locations is that

occurred. Ms. Bostic announced the following 2023 upcoming committee members: Roger
Shaffer, Zachary Long, Keri Kenney, and Megan Berkey. And the following 2022 outgoing
committee members were recognized for their efforts and given a certificate: Stacie Horvath,
Kara Shindle, Geoffrey Willett and Morgan Yiengst. Chairman Keller said that a certificate is
just a small token of the Board of Commissioners appreciation and thanked them for their time,
effort and expertise.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:54 p.m. with a motion by Robert G. Ziobrowski;
seconded by John T. Flannery.
