On April 24, 2013 Commissioners Hall, Giangrieco and Warren met at 9:02 AM for their biweekly meeting. After reviewing the prior meeting minutes and making a few additions, it was determined that a correction to the computer allocation needed to be made – instead of “Front Office – 1 Computer” it should be “Commissioners' Office – 3 Computers”. With the changes noted, the minutes were approved.

The Commissioners rapidly settled in to the ratifications and approvals for expenditures: 4/11 – General Expenses $100,024.92, 4/16 – Election Expenses $2,877.00, 4/18 – General Expenses $162,526.70, 4/19 CYS Expenses $58,348.74. On 4/24 Net Payroll, Employee Retirement Contributions and State Withholding totaled $206663.63, and 4/25 Federal Withholding Taxes added an additional $69,422.75. A number of seminar and training requests were approved with minimal funding from the County.

At the April 18th meeting of the Elk Lake School board, a number of resignations and resignations with the purpose of retirement were announced. All were accepted with regret.

There were to be some recognitions, Dr. Bush stated at the beginning of the meeting. He turned the floor over to Mr. McNamara, who in turn turned it over to Mrs. Holdredge. She related that both represented the Pennsylvania Association of School Retirees. They were there to present the Lauretta Woodson award. Penny Farr had been nominated by Dr. Bush and selected by PSAR. Mrs. Holdredge spoke of Ms. Farr’s innovativeness, concern for students, and the difference she had made in their lives. A plaque was given, but so was a medal to wear and a gift card to a local restaurant. Mr. McNamara read the plaque aloud. Ms. Farr spoke up and gave a short statement, speaking in appreciation for those who had supported her.
