Recently, the first deputy positions in the prothonotary, treasurer, and recorder\u2019s offices have been reclassified as salaried, non-union positions. Hall said that a person working in a supervisory capacity can\u2019t be a union employee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe union is always concerned when you move to non-union. They\u2019re afraid they\u2019ll lose bargaining unit members,\u201d Hall said.<\/p>\n<p>A number of personnel matters were handled in the meeting, mostly filling corrections officer positions at the county jail.<\/p>\n<p>Cody Scepaniak, Brandy Astacio, Nicole Holofchak and Christina Stouffer were hired as part-time corrections officers; Jordan Smith changed from part-time to full-time; and Melissa Reed transferred from a corrections officer position to a sergeant position at the jail.<\/p>\n<p>The resignations of Michael LoSapio from a corrections officer position; and James DeMann from a sergeant\u2019s position were accepted by the commissioners.<\/p>\n<p>The resignation of Children &amp; Youth Case Aide William Conklin was also accepted; and the Sept. 15 termination of Justine Ord from Domestic Relations was ratified.<\/p>\n<p>In other business, the commissioners approved the purchase of a snow plow to be installed on the county truck at a cost of $4,175 from Snake Creek Marine.<\/p>\n<p>The commissioners also approved the purchase of an 18,000 gallon liquid propane tank, mounted to a steel skid structure for the county jail at a cost of $77,865 from Hiltz Propane Systems of Lancaster. Delivery of the tank and site work will cost $15,000. Hiltz will buy back the tank from the county at full price.<\/p>\n<p>The delivery in October of about 14,400 gallons of propane was approved at $1.45 per gallon; and a second delivery for another 14,400 in March was approved at $1.60 per gallon. Fuel will be delivered by Hiltz in the large tank, Hall said.<\/p>\n<p>The installation of a pad for the tank \u2013 including the excavating and backfilling a trench from the pad to the jail \u2013 was also approved at a cost of $14,000-$18,000. The work will be completed by Ken Rauch Excavating.<\/p>\n<p>The propane tank is being installed as a temporary heating system at the jail, Hall explained. The jail is expected to be converted to natural gas heat in the next one-two years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BY STACI WILSON The county commissioners conceded at the Wednesday, Sept. 24 meeting that recent moves of union positions to non-union have made some waves&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
