Susquehanna County Commissioners convened on Wednesday morning with a light agenda that would take only 18 minutes to cover. With Commissioner Hall being at a public utility meeting to handle concerns over act 13 disbursements, Commissioner Giangrieco sat as chair. The sparse agenda went rather rapid fire. Aside from approving funds for training and hiring several key staff members to fill vacancies, the brief meeting only held one point requiring explanation.

The county was approving funds to total $1,798 for the installation of an upgrade to the CAPS (Child Accounts and Profile System) program. This program is used to store information in regard to children who are at risk or in the Children and Youth system. The system is used by other counties as well and the fixed price is the apportioned cost for the county of the total $228,500 to be spent overall.

Remember those old green-and-white road signs that have been replaced recently by newfangled reflective blue and white ones? If you’re feeling some nostalgia about the old signs now’s your chance to own a piece of the past while benefiting some young baseball hopefuls. The Harford Township Supervisors are auctioning off a collection of the old signs, proceeds to benefit the Harford-Lenox Baseball Association.

At their meeting on November 13th Supervisor Garry Foltz distributed a list of the signs that are available, some of them damaged (bent, full of bullet holes, etc.). There are duplicates of many of them, most roads having at least 2 ends, of course. The minimum bid is 5 dollars. Bids should be sent to the Township office with the name of the road on the outside of the envelope. Bids will be opened and the winners awarded their signs at the Township’s regular December meeting on the 11th. Do not include money with your bid; the Township doesn’t want to have to return checks to losing bidders.
