County staff reported the nonprofit previously applied for a $1,000,000 federal grant through U.S. Sen. John Fetterman's office but was not selected; staff said the nonprofit was invited to reapply for the same project and requested a renewed letter of support to include with the new submission. The board voted to reissue the letter of support and authorized staff to sign it promptly so the group can meet the application deadline.

County staff also said the board had previously committed funds from the Affordable Housing Fund toward the project; the meeting record indicates a prior county commitment in that fund and staff noted the Carrying Cupboard had counted the county letter among its supporting materials. Commissioners approved the request by voice vote and asked the nonprofit to remain in contact with county staff for any further documentation.

No vote on new county funding was made during the meeting; commissioners only renewed the letter of support for the reapplication.","County staff and the board agreed to reissue a letter of support for the Carrying Cupboard's reapplication for a federal grant and indicated prior county support from the affordable housing fund; the board authorized county staff to sign the renewed letter of support.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6254263,"County approves land purchase agreement and easement payments for new DES tower sites",255,911000,1166000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3174949-94b333defb4b75079b340318fc8d3407&start=911&end=1166","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3174949-94b333defb4b75079b340318fc8d3407/thumbnail_911000.jpg","/articles/6254263/Lebanon-County/Pennsylvania/County-approves-land-purchase-agreement-and-easement-payments-for-new-DES-tower-sites","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6254263-b6077224730f4461afe990ddbf5992ba/orig.mp4?Expires=1771183031&Signature=GBns6yh0wcEPDssc4W1-bvbEw~74i4pXCK0HFUM4UXR44GaoC72LNUZi7QpfaoJfmLEeVgQvaZJ0hIr6hhf8Mc-F21hBPvh7KezHOeQ9o05k4Y4mh4Jk9jOhxdgTI8CAfcw0oauuDQZj5NsELk78cYbQ7A6HRxJ08BAKDiPpLFwTBwLvqMkK1bADH7bRUJ9VW9kyB0~XwjC5oY9lTI1CWMKAvmhpemfl0m-XVACXtP6iwbmHZJyqHbMSqq52aIxqwMFPCEetUV8ZBQB6OUHYVOwQ7kUOSmtelyjXthhnuIGtH5SFovdo~vJTO0~EzykIQu8OnzeHtWTaPpx38CGFCw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lebanon County Board of Commissioners voted to approve a set of agreements to secure locations and access for new Department of Emergency Services (DES) radio towers.

County counsel presented an agreement of sale for an approximately 1.2-acre tract in Union Township, southwest of the Love's truck stop near Litt Dale, to be acquired from John and Susan Layman and the Pilgrim Mennonite Conference for a consideration of $100,000; the agreement term is 120 days for closing and settlement. The board approved the sale by voice vote.

Separately, the board approved two agreements with landowner Jeremy Ream in South Annville Township related to access to a county-owned tower parcel south of Mount Wilson Road. The first is an easement agreement for $5,000 to improve county access to the parcel. The second is a contract in which the county will pay Mr. Ream $5,864 in lieu of installing a fence around the easement area; Mr. Ream executed the easement agreement the day before the meeting.

County solicitor Matthew (county solicitor) told commissioners that the Laymans will transfer half their interest to the Pilgrim Mennonite Conference and that the three parties will then transfer the 1.2-acre tract to the county. The board asked no substantive questions and approved the motions by voice votes.

County staff noted the purchase and easement decisions are steps in the DES tower program to expand radio coverage and access for emergency services. Implementation tasks include settlement within the 120-day agreement term for the Union Township parcel and county coordination to finalize fencing or payment in lieu as described in the Ream agreement.","The Board approved an agreement of sale for a roughly 1.2-acre tract in Union Township for a new Department of Emergency Services tower site (purchase consideration $100,000) and accepted an easement plus a separate payment in lieu of fence for a county-owned tower parcel in South Annville Township (easement $5,000; payment $5,864).",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6254268,"Lebanon County proclaims May 11–17 as Police Week, May 13 as Police Officers Memorial Day",323,479000,802000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3174949-94b333defb4b75079b340318fc8d3407&start=479&end=802","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3174949-94b333defb4b75079b340318fc8d3407/thumbnail_479000.jpg","/articles/6254268/Lebanon-County/Pennsylvania/Lebanon-County-proclaims-May-1117-as-Police-Week-May-13-as-Police-Officers-Memorial-Day","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6254268-fbbea0eba6b0ba30c367e1f77782d2c5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771183031&Signature=ooU5u2i-WEVVUpfcWJDi83MHxK-oSkm9fBeemNAGV2sFt4H930147dYi2jvRs3hTK5FEEmz-jakylOX0KtKQnGG2-MVjkTadJDO8Grgl9~E8gF0DqcJtyzEGN9XJ5VuJyxo977P4FE8XE8AZ8CrzzE4ShWZaPwciF0c6vaMHDm60chkA2LC55HA6dMI8YiHcx5w1t8qQmNVfc374fospqf6p3FURB9oiOAveE4rttwANaouoOqyFipaAGnz1Tgai8UIxqPqAyjNL78kMdcGHShc0hqYmBXELErYySxsXSti9-VqbaY1Zq6CcljmkHEow5nQK2yQXIGyLdcokFPMNyQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lebanon County Board of Commissioners on a unanimous voice vote approved a proclamation designating May 11–17 as Police Week and May 13 as Lebanon County Police Officers Memorial Day, and accepted plans to hold a memorial ceremony at the county Department of Emergency Services building.

The proclamation recognizes the service and sacrifices of local law enforcement and calls on citizens and civic organizations to observe the week with appropriate ceremonies.

District Attorney Pierre Esraff, who requested the proclamation on behalf of the Lebanon County Chiefs of Police Association and the local Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 42, said, \"This year, the week of May 11 serves as National Police Week,\" and described the planned memorial as a chance to honor officers who died in the line of duty. Esraff read a list of local officers and public servants the ceremony will commemorate.

County staff said the ceremony is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. at the Department of Emergency Services building, adjacent to a newly installed first-responder memorial; in case of inclement weather the event will move indoors. The board voted to adopt the proclamation after Jamie (county staff) read the text for the record, which calls on citizens to observe Police Week and pay tribute to fallen officers.

The proclamation cites an act of Congress that established May 15 as Police Officer Memorial Day and uses that federal observance as the basis for the county designation. The board gave staff direction to sign the proclamation and support the planned ceremony.

No public comment opposing the proclamation was recorded during the meeting; commissioners voiced support and the motion passed by voice vote.","The Lebanon County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a proclamation designating the week of May 11–17 as Police Week and May 13 as Lebanon County Police Officers Memorial Day and will hold a memorial ceremony at the county Department of Emergency Services building.","actionData","errors"]
