Commissioners recognize Beaver Falls Fire Department 150th anniversary, discuss local events and move into executive session
Summary
Commissioners congratulated the Beaver Falls Fire Department on 150 years of service, heard a township thank-you for billboard funding, were reminded of a Mer Art Gallery exhibit and local calendars for American 250 events, discussed possibilities for placing the historic bell in the July 4 Midland Parade, and then moved into executive session on litigation.
The commissioners used part of the work session to recognize community events. They congratulated the Beaver Falls Fire Department on its 150th anniversary, noting banquet recognitions and a 91-year-old retired fire chief who attended. The Chair framed the celebration as recognition of the county's first responders and their long record of service.
During audience participation a township representative thanked the commissioners for additional funding for a billboard tied to the American 250 observances. The Chair reminded attendees to check the county calendar for frequent local events and noted the bell was on display at the Mer Art Gallery as part of an Emil Bot exhibit running through Sept. 5.
Commissioners and attendees discussed options for placing the historic bell in local July 4th parade activities, including having the DPW trailer, an antique tractor, or elected officials pull a trailer; no final arrangement was recorded in the work session.
The Chair then moved the meeting into an executive session to discuss litigation matters raised by the solicitor; the public portion of the meeting ended without recorded votes on the community items.
