County solicitor: 24,087 votes in primary; about $239,000 expected from lawsuit to employees
Summary
The county solicitor reported primary election turnout figures—24,087 total votes with 8,789 returned mail-in ballots (about 36%)—and said the county expects about $239,000 from a lawsuit to distribute to plan participants; personnel and litigation matters were moved to executive session.
At the Beaver County work session on May 20, the county solicitor summarized recent election and legal developments for commissioners and staff.
The solicitor said 24,087 votes were cast in the primary and that 8,789 of those votes were returned via mail-in ballot—about 36% of ballots cast. He noted that, among counties issuing more than 10,000 ballots, Beaver County had a high percentage of mail-in returns.
The solicitor also said the county received notice it will recover about $239,000 from a pending lawsuit and that staff will provide more information to employees who participated in the referenced benefit plan. "This lawsuit's been pending for about two years," he said, and the county expects funds to be distributed to participating employees within about a month.
He flagged personnel and litigation matters for discussion in executive session; no votes were taken during the public portion of the meeting.
Ending: County staff said more details about the distribution process will be provided to employees; the commissioners moved the meeting into executive session to discuss personnel and litigation.
