Martin said the fund finished the first quarter ahead of its policy index over that period and “you're about 100 basis points ahead of your benchmark in that down market period,” attributing the relative performance to allocations toward higher‑quality equities, real estate, infrastructure and private‑market investments. He described the fund’s assumed actuarial rate of return as 6.8 percent and said five‑year average returns helped place the fund near the top quartile of comparable defined‑benefit plans.

On the details, Martin said first‑quarter U.S. stocks were down and that international stocks and certain defensive sectors outperformed; he told the board that the fund’s alternatives and private‑market allocations have been “very accretive.” He also summarized the county’s OPEB pool, saying the OPEB fund had posted strong year‑to‑date gains and was “up about 8% year to date” as of the second‑quarter update Martin presented verbally.

Martin noted operational items and a data correction discussed with the controller’s office: a reported drop in participation in the defined contribution plan was due to terminated employees being included in the initial figure; the controller’s office is correcting the participation count for the next quarter. He also said the county’s 457 and DC plan participants rank favorably in national comparisons and that participant advisory services are used by roughly a quarter of participants.

Discussion vs. decision: this item was an informational investment report; there was no formal board action recorded in the transcript tied to Martin’s presentation. The update included performance metrics, allocations, and operational notes that county staff and the board can use for future policy or actuarial discussions.

What’s next: staff and the investment consultant will continue monitoring market performance and alternatives pricing; Martin said final pricing of alternatives will be incorporated when full second‑quarter statements from recordkeepers are available.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","York County PA Commissioners Meeting 7/16/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Lee Martin of Marketing Associates told York County commissioners on July 16 that the county pension fund is “north of 600,000,000,” and that diversification into higher‑quality equities, real estate, infrastructure and private markets helped the fund outperform its policy benchmark during a weak quarter.","taxTitle","York County, Pennsylvania","taxId",4890,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6166634,"Public commenters at York County meeting clash over immigration and election integrity",260,545995,806610,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5415179-9053b1aa9c5e7414ca873fa853e959b4&start=545&end=806","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5415179-9053b1aa9c5e7414ca873fa853e959b4/thumbnail_545995.jpg","/articles/6166634/York-County/Pennsylvania/Public-commenters-at-York-County-meeting-clash-over-immigration-and-election-integrity","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6166634-1c168687bb99f798fa952de4b55758ca/orig.mp4?Expires=1770833398&Signature=HgjVncjandFrojjhl614OspmAjXFzALhU9cZrUBzaHAFQa6Xb4UsDdbDguezpP1z6fW1qxjoBLbYbQQXrFYpCmhfpmzqJYCGe99096pzt7nnW-1ohUGwkAtT5YmW2LJvE9Pk2DNwfPJ2fBUmdJk7bOuwql8h1NvtB3ky1WvzTaE7fevmZsOQtjNPzxVVfu1WfI8cTHWjJXTl3dCB7nyvz5VpISRuZ-MF8Q4b1L-6WugznlhFrKImoYXGTpE6nMFiXitIZ2N0rRiSz2ckuorOGvK5e9zy6jP0bavu-Eb08FxYfFZ8wWXdoPSPqQp0A3MKRwKz~pbNrFIwp1KU0CIM-w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Two members of the public used the July 16 York County Board of Commissioners meeting to offer sharply different perspectives on immigration and elections.

Thomas Pope, who identified himself as a York County resident, told the board, “To be very frank and blunt, elections have consequences,” and urged that “until they verify that they're legal immigrants, they need to have ICE officers come here and take them.” He said, “In this county, there's a minimum of 3,000 Haitian immigrants,” and later asserted that the group would “vote Democrat.” Pope also said, “We have to have election integrity,” and advanced several claims about past elections; the transcript shows a board official interrupted the speaker when his allotted time expired.

Responding from the public‑comment period, Dr. Larry Walter, senior pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church in York, invoked the lines “Give me your tired, your poor. Give me your huddled masses yearning to be free,” and said the quotation reflects American values. He told the board, “I stand here to go on record to say that I'm offended that Haitian immigrants, Jamaican immigrants, and African immigrants are outlined as the problem in our society,” and urged that residents and elected officials treat one another with respect.

Discussion vs. decision: these remarks were part of the meeting’s public‑comment period; no board action followed from the comments. The transcript records both speakers’ statements and an official’s time admonition but no formal response by the board or additional staff action.

Context: the meeting included multiple agenda items and two presentations earlier in the session; the immigration remarks were made during the public‑comment period and do not reflect a board policy change or finding.

What’s next: no follow‑up action by the board was recorded in the transcript; the public‑comment exchange stands as differing community viewpoints recorded in the meeting minutes.","Two public commenters at the York County Board of Commissioners meeting on July 16 offered opposing views on immigration and election integrity, with one calling for enforcement and another saying singling out immigrants is offensive.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6166644,"County staff present six RACP cooperation agreements for high‑impact projects; commissioners ratify agenda including them",63,269920,333570,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5415179-9053b1aa9c5e7414ca873fa853e959b4&start=269&end=333","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5415179-9053b1aa9c5e7414ca873fa853e959b4/thumbnail_269920.jpg","/articles/6166644/York-County/Pennsylvania/County-staff-present-six-RACP-cooperation-agreements-for-highimpact-projects-commissioners-ratify-agenda-including-them","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6166644-83ab064750d9ce5d5259f245d08f8cf1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770833398&Signature=cnqr~AyDxkNDIMmeYibSbLORKKT24pkemdEUT6JicOkDNe8IkSQ2F2r~RuT8J40IXuM7e7h-3o1IhRT-PDjwL9I6AnQRMFIfVh92ZvB12RLstHFwfleQyx07aQn19nPOEKIHqxqQ3JIs59ppaYbhoYh-z-Kfu1aYg4z~9mSnr4Q5gQjcAducZF4A0fVWenUPdQlJSObJlB3GCQRMOki0I80up0ALNkBrknpotNoAtxjxWfsoJlxZY6Tze6aspaI2v4kRft-LQ22MQiLeYr~KirsuAH1EbciKQK52mue9UeIP6fyulYRRgX2IF~RHtIlY~E11yn4kJwXU~nSRu-YIiw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the July 16 meeting of the York County Board of Commissioners, Kanetha Hansen, representing the York County Economic Alliance and speaking on behalf of the Redevelopment Authority of the County of York, presented cooperation agreements tied to state Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) awards for six local projects. The agreements are routine, Hansen said, and required by the commonwealth when a grantee is not a municipality.

Hansen told the board, “Before you today are, I think 6 resolutions on behalf of 6, nonprofit or for profit businesses in York County that have very high impact projects that have received a RACP award.” She described RACP as “the state's premier grant program” and explained that when a grantee is not a municipality “the Commonwealth requires a cooperation agreement with the host, municipality.”

The RACP cooperation agreements were presented as part of the board’s consent items and were approved when the board voted to adopt agenda items 1–26, a motion that carried by voice vote. Hansen offered to answer questions; none were recorded in the transcript.

Discussion vs. decision: the presentation was informational; the formal decision to ratify the items containing the cooperation agreements occurred when the board approved the motion to adopt items 1–26. The transcript does not list the grantees by name or provide project dollar amounts.

What’s next: county staff will proceed with routine follow-up required by the cooperation agreements and by the commonwealth; further project-level details (specific grantees, award amounts, implementation timelines) were not provided in the meeting transcript.","Kanetha Hansen of the York County Economic Alliance told the board that six nonprofit or for‑profit projects in York County received RACP awards and require cooperation agreements with the host municipality; the agreements were included in agenda items the board approved July 16.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6166649,"York County ratifies emergency declaration after July storms; dozens still without power",318,153465,472120,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5415179-9053b1aa9c5e7414ca873fa853e959b4&start=153&end=472","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5415179-9053b1aa9c5e7414ca873fa853e959b4/thumbnail_153465.jpg","/articles/6166649/York-County/Pennsylvania/York-County-ratifies-emergency-declaration-after-July-storms-dozens-still-without-power","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6166649-11c31d07e7aa4897385e514f6d60a292/orig.mp4?Expires=1770833398&Signature=HLsJpeRbtziHHeZRsWo5nmPwvVl4tBwwplYdQspHSpW4IZ9vhLX7JYVT7l8yjOZy3ExGPzxnFKnf7YRHtH7PwXQkXzNzk76QKrJd2MTHg9n4r4oLnoPVL7LcfYq3zqd8-~agkYW6unHlAoAVMl8E~vldHtJkdjpo5PD1wiUOeUB7VoqkXHwy~5c7sLAscl9x93bvW6D6subjTeu6UQ~BpLWkriGSk-fqq5~KtuDo4C7jzeC3amHw44fl7XQqjsBx8l9mDj6-ArjRXWBGwJDewD5sSosqAw-2E9WKTjpgo0ayIjhmMOpejYhxleJlp1lCyG896g-zP2mFLhkC~tuvTg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The York County Board of Commissioners on July 16 ratified an emergency declaration that county officials say was requested after storms and flooding on July 14. The action was adopted as part of a motion to approve agenda items 1–26, which commissioners voted to approve by voice vote.

County officials said the storm prompted 93 calls for service between 3:45 p.m. and 9:50 p.m. on July 14 and forced closures of multiple roads. A county spokesperson said, “There are 3 state roads that remain closed in the county, State Road 124, State Road 2028, and State Road 2000 And 33,” and that municipalities including East Hopewell Township and Chanceford Township had issued their own emergency declarations. The spokesperson added that most power had been restored but “as of this morning, there were only 49 residents who were still without power.”

Commissioner Mister Dahl introduced the county-level emergency item during the meeting, saying, “The first is, regarding an emergency declaration. Due to the recent, storms and flooding, our emergency management agency had reached out and requested an emergency declaration,” and recommended the board ratify it as an added agenda item. A separate motion to adopt items 1 through 26 — which included the emergency declaration — carried by voice vote.

County emergency-management teams and Pennsylvania emergency management personnel were described as conducting damage assessments on county infrastructure. Officials urged residents to report storm damage through the York County Emergency Management website and said residents needing help with flooding in their homes should contact the office of emergency management at (717) 840-2990.

Discussion vs. decision: the board’s vote to adopt agenda items 1–26 constituted formal action to ratify the county emergency declaration; the county update that followed was informational, identifying affected roads, the number of service calls and remaining power outages, and directing residents to damage-reporting tools. There was no separate recorded roll-call vote in the transcript; the board approved the motion by voice vote.

What’s next: county officials said damage assessments were ongoing and that additional municipal emergency declarations were possible. Residents were asked to exercise caution because some roads and downed wires remained in places around the county.","The York County Board of Commissioners on July 16 ratified an emergency declaration tied to storms and flooding that struck the county on July 14, citing 93 emergency calls and multiple road closures; county officials said 49 residents remained without power and urged damage reports through the county’s emergency management tools.","actionData","errors"]
