\"What I'm asking for is a coordinator of elections slash executive aide position to be created with the elimination of the part‑time coordinator of elections,\" County Administrator Joe Venasco said in presenting the proposal. \"It's a full‑time position, but it's seasonal in nature that it would be a shared position with the voters office.\"

Venasco said the position is intended to provide flexible, nonunion administrative coverage when small offices are short‑staffed because of vacations, illness or turnover. He explained the coordinator would spend most of the year working in the voters office to prepare for primaries and elections, and the remainder of the time could be assigned by the commissioners to other nonunion offices in need of temporary support.

Meeting discussion noted recent short‑staffing incidents in multiple county offices, including the mailroom and human resources, that prompted the request. The board and staff emphasized the position is nonunion and that its duties would include reception, mail handling, phones, minutes and other administrative tasks.

A motion to approve Resolution 30 passed on a recorded roll call vote. The meeting record shows the board directed county staff to recruit for the new position and to eliminate the part‑time coordinator classification once a hire was made.

Board members asked legal and fiscal questions about sharing the position across elected offices that are independently elected; staff said they would confirm with solicitors whether and how the position could be temporarily assigned outside the commissioners' jurisdiction. No change to the authority of independently elected officials was recorded in the motion.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","June 24, 2025, Lawrence County Salary Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The salary board approved Resolution 30 creating a full‑time election coordinator/executive aide at $41,600 to replace a part‑time coordinator; county administrator Joe Venasco said the seasonal, shared position will provide flexible coverage to the voters office and other nonunion county departments during high‑demand periods.","taxTitle","Lawrence County, Pennsylvania","taxId",71984,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6186283,"Lawrence County creates grant‑funded MAT/outpatient coordinator at correctional facility",409,899000,1308000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5077934-2ff72fa00edeaa891992f003e8f6df06&start=899&end=1308","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5077934-2ff72fa00edeaa891992f003e8f6df06/thumbnail_899000.jpg","/articles/6186283/Lawrence-County/Pennsylvania/Lawrence-County-creates-grantfunded-MAToutpatient-coordinator-at-correctional-facility","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6186283-6c801f42d69dbefe176d3c3fc884e7da/orig.mp4?Expires=1776152402&Signature=NDJSE~0w4K0i-BJg9HyUpBvDFfuzt8vCFuMBp1n3WMbyHVy425QibLDS~nEXFXqumPiOQJ-f090ValxbPv6akNdKZCBlBQNy7VzP8MRoJr3GH4RTeKhF4J7-MN1o2azLmdDDENx7jDqx4Ro-BnIKNnYg93w10tFCfcPnujj1oArNV2E4FWbOweJc1rVsMnkLi9wuOvNUEyMsC4xiKAazRxng~XK3Lmw24GhLs5ctRFdn1pm~hPHnak53~lrvpq9U5Rs3jBFxOBiFJGK5JurCXseTCpWjP2zBmQcp8p9kHE9ybeUlFcwSFQIxVyqxmmSiTyAS2r4WUCd4rBZzoqBeDA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lawrence County\u0000salary board on June 24 approved Salary Board Resolution 29 to create a nonclinical medication‑assisted treatment (MAT) and outpatient coordinator at the Lawrence County Correctional Facility with a $40,000 base salary, funded entirely by a grant.

\"The Lawrence County corrections facility has run a very successful grant funded medication assisted treatment program for incarcerated individuals since 2018,\" Deputy Warden Stilwell said during the meeting. \"All costs associated with the position will be absorbed by the current PCCD grant. It does expire the end of this year. There is a possibility of grant funding continuing, we just don't have that information yet.\"

Stilwell described the coordinator role as administrative and nonclinical: scheduling and tracking telehealth appointments, completing referral and prescreening forms, and coordinating secure telehealth sessions with contracted providers. The position is intended to replace the current administrator who is retiring and to maintain continuity of services for incarcerated people already enrolled in MAT programs. County officials said the position will be eliminated when grant funding ends.

The meeting record notes the grant funding comes from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD). Board discussion confirmed the county's obligation to continue MAT services for individuals entering custody who are already enrolled in medication‑assisted treatment.

A motion to approve Resolution 29 passed on a recorded roll call vote. The meeting minutes show the prison board chair and county commissioners participated in the discussion; the prison board was described as a seven‑member body by state law, with four members present that day.

Warden Malmeister and other corrections officials attended the meeting to answer questions about program operations. County staff said quarterly reporting requirements to the grantor will continue and that the county controller's office tracks grant expenditures to ensure no general fund support is required while the grant is active.

The board recorded the resolution as approved; county corrections and the controller's office will handle recruitment and implementation steps while monitoring the grant's continuation.","The salary board approved a nonclinical, grant‑funded medication‑assisted treatment (MAT) coordinator position at the Lawrence County Correctional Facility to preserve telehealth‑based MAT and outpatient services; funding comes from a Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency grant that expires at year end.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6186288,"Salary board approves new deputy roles and one‑time pay increase in Register and Recorder's office",325,357000,682000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5077934-2ff72fa00edeaa891992f003e8f6df06&start=357&end=682","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5077934-2ff72fa00edeaa891992f003e8f6df06/thumbnail_357000.jpg","/articles/6186288/Lawrence-County/Pennsylvania/Salary-board-approves-new-deputy-roles-and-onetime-pay-increase-in-Register-and-Recorders-office","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6186288-25e30e46c7ea64371fb4377fcee3809c/orig.mp4?Expires=1776152402&Signature=B6BI5ln08NFt6M7hYQqN58Ees~eEkyPfEXb7bnJ8-G007zqPioL5EJCMQN2uy6~iYaT2ABLosTuAIO8P~GEVCDCQ-nlic~uqYlT47JRtJu7D6h7XL8qz059JPNclhibqucXJpggDqJGtpZxzvkpd9qTQNl~VTAZNLANZXtgaC8xGtALUFbEy0sj47wB8JGlkzroAfUycEJTMhJLmRI~lX49ltB1og0zdyNdQSQVlnd32aVCSmvMvTItLK7Agf-IuY9jQHpdYo-cNFGzYSpNjcC-TUO8GK2Su-LjULQn0v3shG8ZGq~dyMWccLX2prh6-U-CsgSx9s9Wh2fm61WDprA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lawrence County\u0000salary board on June 24 approved three related personnel resolutions proposed by Register and Recorder Tammy Crawford that create two nonunion deputy positions, designate a senior deputy with a one‑time pay increase and eliminate an existing position.

The resolutions—listed in the meeting packet as Salary Board Resolutions 26, 27 and 28—create a chief deputy recorder of deeds position with a $45,000 base salary, a deputy register of wills position with a $43,000 base salary, and a one‑time $2,000 increase for the longest‑tenured chief deputy, who would be designated senior chief deputy. The packet and hearing testimony state the combination of the changes will reduce overall staffing by one position and yield a net savings to the county of about $44,000.

\"I would like to create a chief deputy recorder of deeds position in our office with the base salary of $45,000,\" Register and Recorder Tammy Crawford said during the meeting. \"The longest tenure of employee as a chief deputy in the register and recorder's office shall receive a one‑time increase of $2,000 and be designated as senior chief deputy.\"

Crawford told the board the changes were prompted by the recent retirement of the office's longest‑tenured chief deputy after 51 years of service. She said the board's role is to act on positions rather than individual employees and that, if approved, the elected officeholder would have authority to hire staff for the new positions.

Board members moved and seconded a single vote to adopt all three resolutions. The roll call as recorded in the minutes showed the measure passed unanimously. The resolutions were noted in the meeting as effective retroactive to May 6, 2025.

The salary board packet describes the two deputy roles as nonunion management positions. During discussion, Crawford and board members emphasized the county's practice of treating recorder and register of wills duties as a combined office in Lawrence County, unlike larger counties where the offices are separate.

The board held two executive sessions in recent weeks to discuss personnel matters, which the chair entered into the record before the vote. No public commenters spoke on the recorder proposals during the meeting's public‑comment opportunities.

The vote implementing Resolutions 26, 27 and 28 was recorded as approved. The Register and Recorder and county controller will coordinate administrative steps to update payroll and position listings.","Lawrence County\u0000salary board approved resolutions creating two nonunion deputy positions in the Register and Recorder's office, a one‑time $2,000 increase for the longest‑tenured chief deputy and elimination of one staff position; county staff said the changes produce an estimated $44,000 net savings.","actionData","errors"]
