Westmoreland County Board approves $3.75M social services appropriation
The Westmoreland County Board of Supervisors convened on November 13, 2024, to address various agenda items, beginning with a customary prayer led by the chairman, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. The meeting commenced with the approval of the agenda, during which a motion was made to include a memorandum regarding the purchase of a boat ramp at Coles Point, which was unanimously approved.

The board then reviewed and approved the minutes from the previous meetings held on October 28 and October 31, with no corrections noted. Following this, the accounts payable and payroll register were presented for approval. The board members voted in favor of accepting these financial documents without any objections.

Next on the agenda was a request from the Department of Social Services (DSS) for an appropriation of $3,750. This funding is designated for family partnership meetings and support for fictive kin placements for foster children in the county. The request was met with no local funding requirements, and after a brief discussion, the board approved the appropriation.

In closing remarks, the DSS director highlighted the success of the recent Halloween event at Westmoreland High School, which attracted approximately 200 children and featured various community resources. The meeting concluded with a sense of community engagement and support for local initiatives.
