The coach and commissioners praised the players’ effort and character.

Commissioner Mann and other officials planned a short photo and presented a certificate recognizing the state championship. Team members named in the session included freshmen Sean Korp; juniors Jeremiah Pershing, Will Brown and Matt Sprinker; and seniors Jack Masterson, Olivia Givens, Matt Green and MVP Jaheem Regine.

The solicitor told the board that resolution number 9 is a lease to allow use of the Medic Rescue Park in Bridgewater for the county’s annual \"Boom\" festival, which this year will move from the Veterans Bridge area to the center of Bridgewater. The lease would permit use of the park for a concert and festival activities over several days.

The solicitor also said a new internal travel policy (listed as agenda number 13) will set updated procedures and approval steps for employee travel. Agenda number 16 is a collective bargaining agreement covering one of three bargaining groups the county has been negotiating with in recent months; the solicitor described that as settled. Agenda item 17 is a Beaver Ball Street streetscape project being advanced through the Department of Community Development.

No votes were taken on these resolutions during the work session; the solicitor indicated personnel and litigation items would be handled in executive session. Commissioners did not provide final approvals during the briefing and said formal action would occur on the regular agenda where appropriate.","At the May 21 work session commissioners were briefed on 17 resolutions slated for the next meeting, including a lease of Medic Rescue Park for the county's 'Boom' festival, a new internal travel policy, a collective bargaining agreement for one bargaining unit and a streetscape project in Beaver Ball Street area.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6528168,"Beaver County officials call May election \"very smooth,\" say tallying of rated races will continue",369,214000,583000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3426136-e1811b7157ff78ee973cf094f126f88c&start=214&end=583","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3426136-e1811b7157ff78ee973cf094f126f88c/thumbnail_214000.jpg","/articles/6528168/Beaver-County/Pennsylvania/Beaver-County-officials-call-May-election-very-smooth-say-tallying-of-rated-races-will-continue","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6528168-ed3e55f871631c4d3f6762e8a203192a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141986&Signature=QOuaIEtTDKrh5jD3bOol4PjkxWVBmdYH3OEsPHNKJW6VublxUiIEdssY75jh4Sc9nFj86Fr4fv8n~JhTCyIW66QuM5jXHlFGpuwNmFie~yO8UTmB6bMIiclveaa8KcuZnSREcKjI0A~nOqKJuShUhqwA9RoQLRWUcw0XhFOgZsMyPrknChfaqzHOLG4gX0oGqUkwAFCymzE0qbKrh8v4SQiAyZyHXRSXsHeOjY7FBR1BMIJils4QMMGnL0aV3E~O0rIbNaqt2UZNowtYpwoJTUU2dCL0jaqj5TIZrv9nZo8EtIjuOon4yzp8olEt~JmNEyhdejmMOeEz5obgQyz70Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Beaver County leaders praised poll workers and county election staff following Tuesday’s election and told the Board of Commissioners at a May 21 work session that additional tallying of certain races will continue in the days ahead.

The county solicitor said the administration saw “a very smooth election” and commended the election director and hundreds of county employees and volunteers whose work made the day run well. The solicitor noted that staff will continue reviewing and tallying rated votes in several races to determine ballot placement for the fall.

Commissioners were told the county had 29 polling places and that mail ballots accounted for a high share of votes returned; one commissioner said Beaver County ranked in the top three to five counties statewide for the percentage of requested mail ballots that were returned. The session also reported overall turnout of about 18 percent for the election and said that most mailed ballots had been counted by about 7 p.m. on election night.

No irregularities were reported during the work session. Staff and elected officials described the result as the product of a multi‑person effort involving the election director’s office, county employees who assisted with ballot tabulation and poll workers at precincts across the county.

Commissioners did not take formal action related to elections at the work session; staff indicated they will continue necessary tallies and will report any formal findings under the regular agenda or in subsequent updates.","At the May 21 commissioners work session the county solicitor and staff praised election workers for a smooth election, said staff will continue tallying rated votes over coming days, and reported 29 polling places and an 18% turnout for the election.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6528173,"Beaver County: Human Services flooring approved by insurer; small courthouse generator pump may require expensive replacement",132,32000,164000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3426136-e1811b7157ff78ee973cf094f126f88c&start=32&end=164","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3426136-e1811b7157ff78ee973cf094f126f88c/thumbnail_32000.jpg","/articles/6528173/Beaver-County/Pennsylvania/Beaver-County-Human-Services-flooring-approved-by-insurer-small-courthouse-generator-pump-may-require-expensive-replacement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6528173-86723a16a71ec7c5439ed336b6f13bf7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141986&Signature=krqQT65G38VTRBVshsDvxLmOlGJMy1zxgpabDvlmc1yyq4uTfNeDKjn3CcwQZfCW6n2oMJDw~3bOEc6i2GP~WrrB4iOCvpUwjUssy~1uuDwlgriHEGLuG0jsXhZHYrhI6~A5sGzR0khnJ6Ruec9RSaCgORxmwynMmrH6ETehxHehQNTlcJlHletvrDaFT3DiYeJMKSkg7MgBJwXO2~MLL10SCPlQyXKlamRdvAoBvE6rYsTc9Yu8E9ajqLwmL74npNSToNEH8XhBc9iaGqZZawT6O3JoccibXTmQV9tubkLj71d7PSUaKv2aPeSE-X8blDIKy-cAtjGqG57iN6lhTg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Beaver County officials reported progress on several facilities projects and flagged a potential large expense for courthouse backup power during the Board of Commissioners work session Wednesday, May 21.

County Department Head Dan told commissioners he had notified contractors to proceed with flooring covered by the county’s insurance for the Human Services building and that materials should arrive in about one to two weeks, with installation expected to be brief. He added he hopes the building will reopen in roughly three weeks.

The department head also reported that bids for work on the county parking garage recently closed. Commissioners were told the low bidder was the same firm that handled emergency repairs and is familiar with the site. No formal award was recorded at the work session.

County staff said a load test on the courthouse’s primary large generator produced no faults. Separately, staff reported the small generator that serves the courthouse’s rear area experienced a water-pump failure and that replacement parts are difficult to source because the pump is old. Staff said they are pursuing two contractors who might rebuild the pump; if a rebuild is not possible, the unit may need replacement. A speaker at the meeting estimated the replacement could be \"upwards of hundred thousand dollars.\" The county has not provided a firm price or procurement schedule.

There was no formal motion or vote during the work session on any of these items. Commissioners and staff framed the generator problem as a facilities-maintenance issue requiring further vendor outreach and budget consideration.

Looking ahead, the county will return to the regular agenda process to present bid recommendations for the parking garage and to request procurement authority for any generator replacement if necessary. For now, staff described the flooring and parking work as proceeding under existing approvals and the generator issue as under investigation.","At the Beaver County Board of Commissioners work session May 21, county staff said insurance will cover new flooring at the Human Services building, parking garage bids are ready for award, and an aging backup generator’s water pump may need rebuilding or replacement at an estimated cost of \"upwards of hundred thousand dollars.\"","actionData","errors"]
