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.

Pictured is SCHRA hard at work, clockwise from lower left: Karen Allen, Executive Director; Bobbi Jo Turner, Grants Administrator; Kris Lunger, Section 8 Coordinator; Pam Rockwell, Project Manager; Vicki Swanson, Project Manager; Helen Foster; Charlene Moser, Management Aide; Theresa Hillard, Fiscal Assistant; Joe Matis, Board Chairman; Jerry Cronk, Board Secretary; Ken Adams, Board Member; Bob Bartron, Board Treasurer; Paul Lukus, Board Vice Chair; Ann Rogers, Project Manager.

More than a hundred people gathered at the base of the county’s tallest natural feature to conduct some business and enjoy each other’s company while watching skiers enjoy the snowy slopes. Monthly Board meetings are usually held at one of the Authority’s 5 housing projects. This month the Board conducted its business and selected its officers for the new year in a more festive atmosphere at the resort, presenting service awards to several of the Authority’s 30-some employees and reporting on 2012’s achievements, which included ground breaking on the yet-to-be-named $5.6 million construction project at the old Southern Tier Plastics property in New Milford.

The New Milford facility will add 24 units to the 226 that have been built since the organization was founded in 1972. All are currently occupied. Executive Director Karen Allen said that the waiting list for apartments varies from 1 to 50 depending on location, but averages a total of about 85. The apartment buildings operated by the Authority are located in Susquehanna (Turnpike Terrace and Prospect Park), Hallstead (Howard J. Emerson and its recent expansion known as Emerson Southgate), Harford (Harford Village) and the oldest, in Forest City (William Penn). The Forest City facility is owned by the Authority. The others, constructed and operated by the Authority, are owned by the county.

The SCHRA does more than build and manage apartment buildings for low-income seniors in our community. The organization brings substantial funds back to the county by administering grants from state and federal sources for a wide variety of municipal projects including paving streets, demolishing derelict structures to make them available for new development, refurbishing sewers, and rehabilitating sub-standard housing. New funding from the state “impact fee” on natural gas development will allow the renovation of some 18 rental units in the amount of $411,000. They even provide modest stipends to some of their own tenants who can offer supplemental maintenance services.

Officers re-elected for 2013 include Chairman Joe Mattis, Vice Chair Paul Lukus, Secretary Jerry Cronk, and Treasurer Bob Bartron.

One of the Authority’s founders, Ken Adams, who served 10 early years as executive director and is still an active member of the Board of Directors, considers the organization one of the best he has ever worked with, expressing obvious pride in its achievements and its employees. An inexhaustible fount of stories, he described several of the Authority’s many struggles and triumphs over the years. One of SCHRA’s few “competitors” in the county, the Kime Apartments in Great Bend (named for the former owner of the Hallstead Foundry) was originally operated by the Authority before it was taken over by Catholic Charities of Broome County. Mr. Adams described the creation of the New Milford facility, to be opened in 2013, as one of the most challenging the Authority has ever undertaken.

The next meeting of the SCHRA’s Board of Directors will take place on February 12, 2013 at the Emerson Southgate facility in Hallstead.

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.

Before closing the meeting at 9:07 they also handled the equipment bids which had been advertised and only 1 bid was received, it did contain lower rates in some areas over previous years. Dr Joseph Cama of Towanda was contracted to provided on site as well as phone services to the county prison for a term ending Feb 28, 2014 with the agreed upon sum of 37,200.00 per annum. MCM consulting group was contracted to provide GIS management services as well, before public comment from the gathered populace.

The salary board saw treasurer Benedict join the Commissioners. The board agreed to use act 13 funds to create a new deputy sheriff position at $11 an hour. However this position was contingent upon act 13 funds being available. In the event the funds fall below $350K this position wold be dissolved. The board also chose to change the pay scale for the Assistant director of elections/assistant Registrar from range 10 ($9.80) to range 13 ($11.29) as candidates at the lower wage rate were not able to fulfill the requirements in the description of the position.

Henceforth the position of switchboard operator/clerk typist will be moved to range 9 as the responsibilities in the newly revised job description are more in fitting with that wage scale.The 2013 miscellaneous compensation schedule was approved and is available to the public upon request. The board closed their meeting at 9:12 with no comment from the public. The retirement board met for a scant 3 minutes. Aside from approving past minutes the board set the interest rate at 4% to be credited to the contribution account, then closed with no comment from the gathered public.

Blue Ridge High School Principal Matthew Nebzydoski (at the end of the board meeting) reported that Captain Koselnak, commander of Company B, 109th Infantry Battalion, had sent a picture of his outfit with a banner made by Blue Ridge students along with a note thanking them for their support. The photograph is available on Mr. Nebz’s blog at http://mrnebz.blogspot.com/.

With the recent tragic events at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, it’s not surprising that schools everywhere are struggling with how to protect students from such terrible acts. So when Blue Ridge School Board members gathered for a workshop on January 22nd, security headed the list of topics for discussion.

Superintendent Robert McTiernan broached the subject by reporting on his conversations with other area administrators. He said that county District Attorney Jason Legg would be attending the next county superintendents’ meeting to present options, including arming school staff. He said that one or maybe two districts are considering allowing firearms in some way.

Blue Ridge Board President Laurie Brown-Bonner responded that she would be “adamantly opposed” to arming staff in the schools. The consensus among her colleagues was similar, although a couple of Board members said they would consider, or “wouldn’t be opposed” to the presence of trained police officers.

Most seemed to agree with Christina Whitney that efforts should focus on prevention, by making it as “hard as possible” for someone with ill intent to get into the schools. On the other hand, many tended to agree with John Ketchur that it may not be possible to provide an absolute guarantee of safety, or to stop a determined attacker.

Ms. Brown-Bonner polled all of the Board members individually for their views. One suggested a “panic button” in each classroom. Middle/High School Principal Matthew Nebzydoski noted that each classroom is outfitted with a binder with a clear one-page instruction sheet for each type of emergency. Harold Empett reminded the group that there is no local sheriff or police department that can be called.

There is now a single point of entry for visitors to the Blue Ridge schools, in the High School. Yet visitors are often seen being admitted “as a courtesy” by well-meaning staff and students. Some of the many other doors have been seen propped open.

Mr. McTiernan said that Dean of Students Lynn Parker is an obvious choice for taking on some of these objectives. He is already responsible for checking each door to the buildings multiple times during the day. Yet Mr. Parker is sometimes absent, and has no backup.

In the end Mr. McTiernan was asked to look into the possibility (and cost) of hiring someone to monitor the main entrance in the high school, and to train that person thoroughly. Board members seemed to want all staff adequately trained in emergency procedures, including substitutes. The Superintendent will develop these ideas and present them to the Board in February.

The 2 1/2-hour workshop covered a number of other topics, including the long-debated issue of “single-tier” (or “single-bell”) busing. Mr. McTiernan said that Wanda Harris has been “modeling” routes in the new software system. They have come to the conclusion that costs will come out about even, “or maybe a little better,” compared with the current two-tier system, considering all factors. It is important to try to maximize “loaded miles” in order to ensure the highest state reimbursement possible. He said the goal is 95% loading with all routes less than 1 hour. Variables also include profitable miles for the contractors, which he thinks can be achieved.

Mr. McTiernan said that the single-bell schedule will gain teachers 25 minutes of additional instruction time each day, allowing a “more fluid use of staff,” particularly between Elementary and Middle, and between Middle and High Schools. The one issue remaining to be completely resolved is the universal breakfast offering: trying to feed up to about 550 students in such a short time frame.

Board member Shane Rumage brought up the recurring concern of mixing High School and Elementary School children on the same buses. The buses may be outfitted with cameras to help, but Mr. McTiernan said that the drivers already know how to segregate the younger from the older when necessary.

Ms. Brown-Bonner ultimately told her colleagues that it is “time to make a decision” after months and years of debate. In the end, the Board decided to go ahead with the new single-tier plan – without bringing it to a vote at a business meeting, which Mr. McTiernan said was not necessary.

These workshops are intended partly to showcase the administration’s agenda for action at the next business meeting. One item is a request from a tax collector to waive a fee for filing a report late, in this case by 1 day. The report was due by what turned out to be Veteran’s Day last Autumn, a Monday, when there is no postal service; it was delivered the following day. A fee of $20 is assessed against a tax collector for late filing, and the question is, should the Board make the exception in this case, when a waiver is requested “after the fact?”

No decision was taken, of course, this being a workshop, but the consensus seemed to be that the policy should stand; the tax collector had adequate time to file earlier, or even to have the filing postmarked the prior Saturday. The administration can also make allowances if the tax collector phones the office in advance requesting a delay. Ms. Brown-Bonner remarked that the district too often violates its own policies in cases like this.

The Board will also consider continuing to offer free flu shots for the staff, in the interest of a healthy campus.

And the Board will be asked to agree to accept student teachers from the University of Scranton for about 8 weeks this Spring.

Christina Cosmella brought up a question about a student athlete assigned detention and being excluded from an athletic event the same day – is it fair to be punished twice for the same infraction? The Athletic Code of Conduct does not permit a student to participate in an event on the day that an infraction occurs. In some cases this leads to detention as well as the exclusion from participation. Mr. Empett noted a similar situation in which an athlete attending, say, a tournament at a distance, is then required to make up a missed gym class.

Mr. McTiernan reported on-going training in “concussion management” for athletics coaches. And the district’s baseball team will travel to Blacksburg, Virginia for training in warmer conditions at little or no cost to the district.

There ensued a discussion of the use of the fitness center by students after school hours. Some Board members are concerned that such unsupervised use exposes a liability. The Board will consider placing a monitor in the facility, but not a “trainer.”

Discussing various policy changes, Mr. McTiernan once again brought up the issue of “uncompensated leave” and how benefits are to be made available in such cases. He described a case in which a staff member might ask for such leave for what could become a very expensive medical condition. The district would bear an expense of up to $100 per day for a substitute, and, because the district is responsible for health care costs under its “self-funded” system, such a situation could be very costly indeed.

The Board will consider replacing the sound system in the auditorium, at a cost of about $11,000. The old system is barely adequate; some events have required renting additional equipment. Mr. McTiernan said that in his time at Blue Ridge, only once has the sound system performed properly.

Ms. Brown-Bonner asked her colleagues to consider developing a set of “guiding principles” for creation of the district’s budget. She had a sample from another school district that she said could help demonstrate to constituent taxpayers just “how we do it.” Mr. McTiernan said that such guidelines can help to minimize argument during budget debates. For example, a first principle might be to protect core academics – reading, science and math.

Speaking of which, almost as an afterthought, a brief single-item official “business” session adopted a resolution that confines the district’s budget for next year to the state index of 2.4%, meaning that the Board will not offer a budget increasing tax rates beyond that limit. Without such a resolution, the Board might have had to put a new budget before the voters in the May election. The 2.4% maximum equates to 1.1 mills of property taxes in the Blue Ridge District.
