Thomas and Robert G. Ziobrowski. The Board attended the Prison Board meeting at the Jail. 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. Chairman Keller requested to approve the agenda with the addition of Chairman's time prior to public comment. On a motion by Robert L. Thomas, seconded by Robert G. Ziobrowski; unanimously approved to adopt the amended agenda. Chairman Keller wanted to respond to the concerns about GIS /gun registration questioned by Mr. Piper at Tuesday's meeting. He agrees with the concerns that there should be no public GIS posting of gun ownership. However, in his presentation last week, Sean Crager did not say gun registrations would be posted in public. If there is any use of GIS for protection of Police /Sheriff personnel etc. for their investigations, it would be for internal Police /Emergency use only and would not be for public consumption. Chairman Keller said use of GIS will have many benefits to make our community more efficient and safer. Some, if not most of the applications will be for internal use to add efficiency or even safety for such as Fire and EMS, Municipalities, School District, County Planning and Human Services and many more. Policies, not yet determined, will specify what applications are public and what if for official internal use only. Michelle Jansen provided public comment and asked if the MPO is a transition or will these be two separate entities. Chairman Keller said it will be one. She asked for minutes of the meeting and Chairman Keller said they will not be available until the next meeting which is August 21St and approved by the MPO Board. Ms. Jansen asked how she can get details on the Department of Transportation grant. James Wyrick provided his questions to Chairman Keller that he mentioned on Tuesday. He wanted to complement the head of the Children & Youth program for his report and compliment the Commissioners on their questions. If there is more detail concerning future demands of these programs would be helpful but understands that there will be changes in law. Mr. Wyrick read a prepared statement about his background in healthcare and change in IT programs. Mr. Wyrick asked that in light of this current environment and county's commitment — what is usual business model for these upgrades and changes? Allen Piper provided public comment and he also compliments Doug Amsley's presentation on Tuesday. But relating to the gun issue, that was an infringement, it was not a positive thing, because they thought everyone with a gun permit was going to be put on a docket, which upset him because of privacy of that issue. He did talk with the Sheriff at length and got it squared away. He thanked the Chairman for clarifying that. Also he had a problem with a statement made during Doug Amsley's presentation regarding Children & Youth services relating to home schoolers he would like clarification on that. It was stated that maybe sometimes parents are too lazy to get their children out of bed so they are not enrolled in public school. He wants to know statistics related to these remarks and he would like clarification. Homeschoolers by national statistics as Commissioner Ziobrowski should know the national test schools far exceeded the public school scores nationally. They are not doing too bad of a job. Continued on page 2 Chairman Keller said without objection he had another answer to a question from Mr. Piper regarding information technology positions. Chairman Keller provided the information on each salary for each new position and the reclassifications from last Thursday's Salary Board actions. On a motion by Robert L.

This proposal would reduce the County's servers from 36 to 2 and twelve locations will consolidate down to 2. This will not only save staff time but will reduce power consumption as well. Commissioner Thomas said he appreciated this additional information. Chairman Keller said the costs to replace all the servers and the disaster recovery features will actually save money as well with this proposal. The Board reviewed Children & Youth matters.

Ziobrowski; unanimously approved to sign Franklin County Proclamation #2013 -09 proclaiming the month of May as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month and that the attached proclamation be made a part of these minutes. The Board held a public hearing to discuss the Southampton Township Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance ( LERTA). Chairman Keller said last week Mike Ross from Franklin County Area Development Corporation and Mike Alderman of Liberty Property Trust requested the Board approve a LERTA in Southampton Township. The Board requested they come back in. Chairman Keller said he is ready to consider the issue in the event the Board is interested in implementing or participating in the LERTA. He asked if there was anything else Mr. Ross or Mr. Alderman would like to add. Mr. Ross thanked them for taking this under advisement and considering this and they continue to edge closer to a firm deal and with this action it will be one of the last nails in the coffin. Mr. Alderman said the process has continued to mature and they have gained wide engagement with the company and with constituents of the company. He said it's imperative if they want to achieve the company coming here they need to make a decision very quickly. He thanked them for their consideration. Mike Ross said it's their understanding that we are the only site the company is considering now so they really appreciate all the support they have received locally. They respectfully request their consideration of participating in this LERTA and will be final piece of the puzzle. Chairman Keller said it was summarized for them last week, and asked if the following points are still relevant: looking at 1,000 jobs majority would go to Franklin County or Continued on page 4 extended labor shed, Carlisle to Hagerstown and the timeline is aggressive and these jobs would be available to folks in the community within the next 12 -14 months. There is a sense of urgency, this abatement program is deemed significant in their decision process. Commissioner Thomas said this is not a slam dunk for him and the company is moving forward with the potential of making a decision soon not knowing what the Board might do, but they do know what the School District has done and school district taxes are way more than the County's. Mike Ross responded that for a LERTA to be fully affective, without School District participation it becomes more significant but the County is more of a player and the decision has a twofold impact from financial and substantial impact. Mr. Alderman said County taxes are 20 -25% of overall taxes, School District is 60 -65% range and Township is 5 -10% range. It's 20 cents a square foot in first year if the County taxes were abated which amounts to $340,000 and the amount of the abatement will go down every year. Commissioner Ziobrowski stated before that the intent of LERTA is for blighted properties and he is not comfortable taking vacant land and deeming it blighted but he can't turn his back on 1,000 jobs. The Board has been told this is a critical piece in getting this project but it's important to note, it's limited and it's the same as Shippensburg School District and it's a smaller property then the Southampton Township Supervisors approved. He is going to be voting in favor of it, he can't turn his back on 1,000 jobs, it's too important for Franklin County and the people. Chairman Keller said he couldn't have said it better, it was pointed out that these are family sustain wage jobs at $18 -25 an hour. The factors he finds compelling are the 1,000 jobs and there is a demand in this community for those jobs. He said it's an opportunity for people to work, prospect is legitimate and timeline is compelling, and it will mean jobs for people in a tight timeline. He is supportive of this and he needs to do this. Chairman Keller asked Solicitor Mary Beth Shank if our resolution mirrors Shippensburg School District's and she responded that it's not an exact replica but has same time period and similar information. Commissioner Thomas said since this is a public hearing need to follow through with process and let the public ask questions. Michelle Jansen said the radar went up that it's supposed to be for blighted property but saying this is undeveloped land and not blighted property. If the Board does this they need to set a precedent. Now stretching to use undeveloped land and it's a concern to her. Commissioners Ziobrowski says he shares her concern. Commissioner Thomas said this is the same reason why they didn't do Antrim township. Mike Alderman responded that State program Keystone Opportunity Zone (KOZ) in latest round the State expanded the definition of properties that can be included in KOZ to include undeveloped land. They lowered the standard that more properties can now qualify for the KOZ. Mike Ross said the LERTA act talks that blighted is a broad definition and it's a definition where it's up to the eyes of beholder. KOZ is more specific in defining blight and properties that qualify. Commissioner Thomas said this may open the flood gates to anyone that wants to come in here for a tax free zone. Chairman Keller asked where would the 1,000 jobs rank in Franklin County, and he responded it would be close to Volvo, at least in top 5. Mr. Ross says this is a great opportunity and their support would be appreciated and welcomed. Allen Piper said he knows there are meetings where the public has not been involved in. He asked how many members are on the committee of the Blighted Property Committee established by the County. Chairman Keller said there are 7 members on committee and he can get the list for Mr. Piper. He asked about the function of the committee. Commissioner Ziobrowski said the Committee is a subset of the Redevelopment Authority and is not related to this. Piper responded that since it Continued on page 5 was brought up he wanted it more defined. He is interested to hear that can get 1,000 jobs, but he is concerned and has to agree with Commissioners Thomas and Ziobrowski that there are positive and negatives in everything. A public hearing is the public has a right to question the individuals before them. He thanked Commissioner Keller allowing them to do that. He hopes everything works out for the best but he is concerned about the establishment and the gentleman mentioned can go out into the rural areas. Commissioner Thomas said what happens next month when another developer has a proposal that might bring a new facility in Franklin County. They will have same right to ask for this. Mike Ross responded that Guilford Township has not created a LERTA zone or even proposed a LERTA zone. Chambersburg School District may not be as eager to create or participate in a LERTA as Greencastle and Shippensburg has expressed. He said they are anxious to try to grow their tax base. Mike Alderman said there is a continuum of opportunity of small employees or large employees as this. He commends the Board that they looking at this as a quanitatum basis. There is a mid- range or projects that are smaller than this that they may want to consider. This is a county that is pro- business but also restrained in response to how pursues the opportunity. He said they will see requests like this in the future but maybe they need to put a filter on this to make the decision easier. Commissioner Ziobrowski said that Commissioners make tough decisions, they don't always agree and he's comfortable with making a difficult decision and if future decisions will be made more difficult that's the responsibility of their job. Commissioner Thomas said this discussion has helped him and this is not the easiest vote to make. On a motion by Robert L. Thomas, seconded by Robert G. Ziobrowski; unanimously approved Resolution 2013 -06 adopting the Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance ( LERTA) Program providing for tax exemption for certain deteriorated properties within the County of Franklin and that the attached resolution be made a part of these minutes. Commissioner Thomas exited the meeting room at 11:00 AM Solicitor Mary Beth Shank was present for the Board to consider a Resolution to amend the time period for filing of real estate tax assessment appeals. Ms. Shank said this is a request of the Tax Services Department and Assessment Appeals Board and County Code allows the deadline to be moved to August 1. So this request is being made to allow for additional time period. There are no requirements to advertise but will publish in Franklin County Legal Journal and County's website. Ms. Shank reported this resolution is just moving the deadline from September to August. No one will be cut off due to this deadline this year. Chairman Keller said that if folks are asked to provide more follow -up information concerning their tax assessment appeal, this will give them more time. Commissioner Ziobrowski said the Assessment Office should send out additional information or put an article in the Public Opinion to let tax payers know. On a motion by Robert G. Ziobrowski, seconded by David S. Keller; unanimously approved Resolution #2013 -05, which is attached and made a part of these minutes, for the purpose of changing the annual real estate tax assessment appeal filing deadline to August 1s' and that the attached resolution be made a part of these minutes. Continued on page 6 The Board reviewed information regarding National Nursing Home Week. On a motion by Robert G. Ziobrowski, seconded by David S. Keller; unanimously approved to sign Franklin County Proclamation #2013 -10 proclaiming the week of May 12 -18, 2013 as National Nursing Home Week and that the attached proclamation be made a part of these minutes.
