The Susquehanna County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (SCHRA) treated its staff, Board of Directors, and various architects, politicians and lawyers to a feast at its annual meeting at Elk Mountain’s Winter Garden restaurant on January 18th, congratulating itself on 2012’s accomplishments and looking forward to another year of providing quality housing and municipal support funding to the advantage of the area’s low income and elderly population.

On Wednesday, January 23, 2012, with negative temperatures howling outside the County Courthouse, a scant eight members of the public gathered at 9:00 am as commissioners Hall and Giangrieco prepared to tackle three separated meetings. Commissioner Warren was attending an undefined conference in state college. Commissioner Hall moved to ratify over 689 thousand dollars in general expenses. Payroll would draw 167,535.49 from the county coffers, with both payroll taxes, retirement contributions and CYS expenses another 137,618 was paid. Nearly 1 million dollars were distributed between January 9th and 21st.

The commissioners made all due haste as they appointed Steven Tourje and Brian Hinkley to the economic development board, and accepted the resignation of Willie Keeney from soil conservation, and the termination of Lori Cobb. Diana Roszel was moved to a supervisory position for caseworkers. Nine seminars found their way onto the agenda from tactical conferences for the deputy warren, to emergency dispatch training; the county staff is consistently being trained to highest standards.
