Human Services requested and the commissioners approved two awards tied to homelessness services: an RFP award (RFP #2022525PSH) for the Permanent Supportive Housing program and an award (RSC #022525RRH) for rapid rehousing services; both items were approved by roll call. The board also authorized the donation of restroom stalls to the West Alexander Agricultural Association under county surplus/disposition rules.

In new-business votes, the commissioners certified a local match for state operating assistance for the Washington County Transportation Authority for fiscal year 2025–2026 in the amount of $209,472. The board approved training-related travel and associated costs of approximately $3,000 for Marie Lester to attend the RISE 25 conference (May 27–31, 2025) to be paid through the indigent defense grant.

Planning and Parks & Recreation items approved included agreements with local fire companies for annual park inspections and fire protection (payment of $1,000 upon receipt of annual inspection reports) and authorization of a right-of-way agreement with Range Resources to provide electric service through West Penn Power to the company’s gas well; Range Resources will pay the county $5,000 in compensation.

Purchasing and finance actions approved by the board included: $200 in petty cash for the Clerk of Courts cashier drawers; application submission for the 2025–2026 Hazardous Materials Response Fund (HMRF) and Radiological Emergency Response Fund (RERF) grants (no county match required); advertising for bids for Panhandle Trail parking lot improvements (paving and lighting); a sole-source purchase from Send Noise for SWAT team equipment at $47,599 funded from the district attorney’s operating budget; and payment to ESRI for software maintenance and GIS updates totaling $60,119 (costs split among public safety, tax assessment and planning departments). The board also approved an opioid settlement funding agreement with Hope Haven Christian Recovery Center for $22,750 for an office-space restoration project, subject to solicitor approval.

The solicitor presented and the board approved a tax refund request in the amount of $92,601.39. The chief clerk announced an executive session had been held on April 15 to discuss possible litigation and attorney–client matters; the board adjourned after closing business.

The proclamations were presented by commissioners and accepted by local agency representatives who described services and needs tied to each observance. The telecommunicators proclamation honored staff at the Washington County Emergency Communication Center and was accepted by Jerry Coleman, director of Washington County Public Safety. Mark Clovey, 911 operations manager, told the commissioners, “they are the true first first responder,” and urged public support for recognizing telecommunicators as first responders in state classification.

The autism proclamation was accepted by Sheila Feiner, director of intellectual disability and autism services, and other local providers who thanked the commissioners for recognition and public supports. A representative noted an April 23 recognition event at Chartiers Community Center and distributed informational flyers. In remarks about early-intervention services Rachel Verghelli, a parent whose child receives services, described the impact on her family: she said the child’s therapists had “been absolutely wonderful” and credited early-intervention services with helping her daughter’s communication and development.

The board also proclaimed April as the Month of the Young Child, citing county behavioral health and developmental services statistics included with the proclamation that roughly 723 infants and toddlers were referred for services in the past year and more than 900 children received annual developmental supports. Commissioner remarks and accepting speakers emphasized workforce and funding challenges for early-childhood providers; Val Williams of the nonprofit Trying Together urged support for a proposed Pennsylvania budget line to aid childcare recruitment and retention.

For National Library Week, Diane Ambrose, assistant administrator for the Washington County Library System, thanked the commissioners for sustained county funding and highlighted services across the county’s 14 libraries, including the Wagon Automation Network that shares about 700,000 items among systems in Washington, Greene and Fayette counties. Ambrose invited residents to system events and noted a July 26 community event at Bingo Park.

Each proclamation was adopted by roll call. Commissioners noted the ceremonial proclamations as part of the county’s public recognition of local providers and county-supported programs. The meeting then moved on to regular business.","The Washington County Board of Commissioners on April 2025 adopted four ceremonial proclamations recognizing National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week; Autism Appreciation Month; Month of the Young Child; and National Library Week, with local agency representatives accepting the proclamations and thanking the board.","actionData","errors"]
