Keller, Robert L. Thomas and Robert G. Ziobrowski. Chairman Keller presided and after calling the meeting to order, a Moment of Silence, and the Pledge of Allegiance, proceeded with the business of the day. On a motion by Robert G. Ziobrowski; seconded by Robert L. Thomas; unanimously approved to adopt the agenda. There was no public comment. The minutes of the February 19, 2019 and February 21, 2019 meetings were reviewed. These will be decided upon on Thursday, February 28, 2019. The Board reviewed Agreements, Contracts and Reports. Commissioner Thomas asked for more explanation on item #5, application to PA Commission on Crime and Delinquency. Glenda Helman, Grants Manager, explained this grant will fund the Jail to Community Treatment Program. She continued that 67% of work release inmates have a substance use disorder. This program provides twelve weeks of intensive outpatient treatment where the inmates go offsite for treatment in the community and then return to the jail afterward. When they are released they are familiar with the provider and location so it builds confidence. Ms. Helman continued that four weeks before the inmates are released from jail they are given a vivitrol shot and two weeks before release they get a second shot. With this program the clients will continue with treatment providers for behavioral health issues and vivitrol shots in the community. Commissioner Thomas asked for more information on item #1, agreement with Millennium Communications Group. John Boozer, project consultant, explained that we are building the heart and soul of the IT system in the Archives building. These folks are well qualified and capable and proven to be a good partner and they will take us into the future. Mr. Boozer provided more information on the system. Commissioner Thomas responded that this will be hub of brains of what's downtown and it will save Franklin county money in the future. The following item was approved today while the remaining items will be approved Thursday, February 28, 2019. The Board reviewed Grants Management/CJAB matters. On a motion by Robert G. Ziobrowski; seconded by Robert L. Thomas; unanimously approved the Project Modification Request to PA Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) to shift funding from under expended categories to better serve the needs of Intensive Reentry Case Management (I RCM) program participants. This ensures continuity of care through supportive services and intensive case management. Tiffany Bloyer, Human Resources Director, and members of the STAR (Special Thanks and Recognition) Committee were present to award Ms. Stacie Horvath as Employee of the Month. Ms. Horvath has been employed as the Franklin County Human Services Administrator since September of 2017. The selection for the February 2019 Employee of the Month was determined by the STAR Committee. There were a total of nine nominations. The STAR nomination form asks what recent event or occurrence made you select Stacie and the answers include: "Due to confidentiality I cannot share a lot of details, but what I can share is that I saw Stacie step up and help an employee and her family in a time of need and crisis. It was completely admirable that Stacie would make arrangements for her family to be available for an employee well into the evening when they were experiencing a crisis. She made sure the family was safe and they had what they needed. To work with individuals who have such a deep level of care and concern for our workforce is amazing. We often forget the great things Continued on page 2 that happen right before our eyes and when they do happen, they should be recognized. We also assume that "it's just part of the job" but it's not. To care and know that someone cares is incredibly important. I am thankful to work with people who care." Ms. Horvath's outstanding characteristics are attributes that have not gone unnoticed by her peers. The nomination form describes her as committed, dedicated, and compassionate. We are grateful to Ms. Horvath as she exudes a high standard of customer service, excellence, and respect to the employees and residents of Franklin County. Ms. Horvath thanked everyone and explained there was a lot that happened that week. She thanked everyone for allowing her to be here and that when her family moved here she could feel the commitment to the community and to Franklin County employees. Chairman Keller said that the H in HR stands for human or humanity and that was highlighted this morning. We care about the people we serve and care about the people we work with. Commissioner Ziobrowski said that in her business, Ms. Horvath sees a lot of misery and tragedy and have to deal with that, whether with employees or the work she has to do, sometimes you may get jaded but it's obvious she obtains empathy and caring. He appreciates how much she cares and how she keeps her heart in it. Commissioner Thomas said that she came to the County with a whole gamut of experience to head Human Services. He was impressed with her experience and background and how she engages with other departments where no one has gone before and pulling together all different agencies, even in the community. Stacie is top notch and he is glad to have her here. Kim Rzomp from WeIlSpan and John Massimilla from Summit provided a presentation and request the Board to consider a resolution to approve issuance of bonds related to a WeIlSpan Health expansion. Mary Beth Shank, County Solicitor, said that according to the Internal Revenue Code, a government unit must approve this project for the health, safety and welfare of the County. Ms. Shank explained there was a TEFRA public hearing on February 20, 2019 as required by the Internal Revenue Code with no public comments. The hearing was duly advertised and documentation was provided. This resolution does not obligate the county in terms of financing. Ms. Rzomp explained that the 2019 bond proceeds will include new money specifically dedicated to Franklin County. She continued that there are two hospitals, several urgent care sites and 45 patient care locations throughout Franklin County. Ms. Rzomp mentioned the Epic system that is a medical records system that has gone national. If a patient has to go to the hospital out of state while on vacation, the patient's medical records will be available if they are on the Epic system. Mr. Massimilla explained the recent and in -process strategic investments in Franklin County. The in -process projects are the da vinci surgical robot at the Chambersburg Hospital and the Greencastle Medical Office building. In the future they will be working on the Penn National medical building construction and expanding the Shippensburg site for additional services. Ms. Rzomp explained that they are requesting to refinance their 2010 bonds and several WeIlSpan legacy bonds and finance new money for the near term projects. WeIlSpan can save over $17M over the life of the bonds so it is advantageous for them to take advantage of the savings now. The Board had a question and answer session before approving the resolution. On a motion by Robert G. Ziobrowski, seconded by Robert L.
