Beaver County commissioner describes CCAP priorities: 9-1-1 funding, behavioral health, election reform
Summary
A commissioner reported back from a recent CCAP meeting and said the association's top priorities remain increasing 9-1-1 funding to $2.20, behavioral health funding, and election reform. The commissioner also noted local events including Lincoln Park's 20th anniversary and a county fair.
A Beaver County commissioner told colleagues at the Aug. 22 work session that the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania (CCAP) highlighted three priorities at a recent meeting: raising 9-1-1 funding, behavioral health funding, and election reform.
"The 3 main priorities of CCAP still remain 9 1 1 funding trying to get the dollar 95 up to $2.20, $2.20 change that rate, that funding that goes through telecommunications," the commissioner said, adding that the current fee expires in December or January 2026.
The commissioner said behavioral health funding and election reform were the second and third priorities discussed at the CCAP summer meeting. The commissioner said the CCAP meeting was held at "77 Springs" (as stated in the meeting) and did not provide further detail on the association's timeline or next steps for those priorities.
At the same meeting the commissioner also reported on local community events, saying they attended the Hook Sound Fair and the 20th anniversary opening-day event at Lincoln Park, where an Elvis impersonator performed.
The remarks were delivered as an informational update; the board did not take votes on CCAP priorities during the work session.
