Karen said she had been told the sheriff applied to be an ICE representative and asked whether that was a done deal or if it had been passed. She said she attended the meeting to ask questions and would like information and a point of contact.

The board chair responded during the public comment period that the matter was federal in origin and that the county commissioners had not voted on it. The chair stated the program was a federal initiative and that sheriff's office personnel are acting in certain roles under federal direction; the chair directed Karen to the sheriff's office for further information and noted a sheriff's deputy was present in the room.

The chair reiterated that the commissioners do not have purview over the federal initiative and suggested contacting the county sheriff's office for additional details, including whether any local formal request or designation had occurred.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Washington County Board of Commissioners Meeting No: 1210 6/19/2025","oneSentenceSummary","A member of the public asked whether the local sheriff had applied to act as an ICE representative.

CYS presented the items to the board. Motions approved by roll call include: a provider agreement with Family Pathways for foster care placement ($50,000 for July through June 30, 2025), a fiscal services agreement with Donald E. Bolland and Associates ($379,750 for 05/20/2025 through 06/30/2026), an addendum with KidsPeace National Centers for residential placement and therapeutic services ($500,000 for July through June 30, 2025), a provider agreement addendum with Meraki Pennsylvania for community-based foster care services ($150,000), and an agreement for residential treatment services with New Life Adolescents LLC for at-risk female youth ($275,000 for 12/01/2024 through 06/30/2025).

All five motions were moved, seconded and approved by roll call according to the meeting record presented by CYS. The motions specify contract authorization amounts and period of performance; none of the motions in the public record stated additional county funding beyond the amounts shown.

Commissioners did not discuss program-level outcome measures or beneficiary counts on the public record during the motions; implementation and day-to-day contracting were recorded as responsibilities of Children and Youth Services and respective providers.","Commissioners approved provider agreements and addenda for Children and Youth Services that together authorize approximately $1,354,750 in contract authority for foster care, residential, fiscal and therapeutic services for the coming contract year.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6191625,"Washington County approves Home ARP and rapid rehousing agreements totaling roughly $916,700, plus related homelessness grants",112,1220000,1332000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=4596272-87a2c8a0ce6e7c53cb6070c036a30458&start=1220&end=1332","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/4596272-87a2c8a0ce6e7c53cb6070c036a30458/thumbnail_1220000.jpg","/articles/6191625/Washington-County/Pennsylvania/Washington-County-approves-Home-ARP-and-rapid-rehousing-agreements-totaling-roughly-916700-plus-related-homelessness-grants","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6191625-5ec5c269292881eedd0675a6ca9ca2c6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771044634&Signature=ey~dKow2EuqlEPlchthOskzkpjjEw6hn7mOCTkn7b9QsByND4l16VHM6qyh3gFJ1fKk~uLT~GRXEMWCrmGDzI46p6P1mstUKFVx-j-1EU0P9cDcV-KeaoH0CF4vNA0npwjDBrovNt~2bse8zPtM-2zoobpJgXFMI8Sq~o1tNbM-im5O5wxyMj6YMyl85IUVyfKn8wDWQsc4h4XiMM7j4xD4iFCwewx0cy6rASq3qboWA2Gku1~l1EDNKq~0VlvwpYSavJuVukw~ysvBZNGTJ4-DRkF~t~hTZxgZgq3eLVNaSgiWQoNBHqtSRzxScmg~jwJSc7ayyzggNvxa7MKRpPg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Washington County Board of Commissioners approved a Home ARP provider agreement with the Redevelopment Authority for housing stability funds totaling $916,709.90 to provide housing case management and financial assistance; the contract covers June 19, 2025, through June 30, 2027, with options to renew.

Human Services presented the Home ARP agreement and related housing items. The board also approved a provider agreement with SPHS Connect for emergency shelter services (not to exceed $20,000 paid with DCED funds), and a provider agreement with Catholic Charities, Diocese of Pittsburgh, for rapid rehousing services not to exceed $65,000; the Catholic Charities item carries a required 100% county match as recorded in the motion.

Separately, commissioners approved a one-month extension for a HUD rapid rehousing provider agreement addendum (extending performance to June 30, 2025) and authorized submission of an Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) application to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED). The ESG application, as presented, requires a 100% county match.

Chief Clerk presented the Redevelopment Authority's request for adoption. Commissioners voted by roll call to adopt the consolidated plan, the action plan for FY2025, and the amended citizen participation plan.

Separately, the board accepted a $2,500,000 RCAP grant for the Broadway Glass Plan project in Canton Township. The chief clerk stated that no county funds were required for the RCAP award; the RCAP amount appears in the presentation as the grant sum to be administered in connection with the Broadway Glass Plan.

Both items were approved by roll call. The adoption and grant acceptance place program administration and implementation responsibility with the Redevelopment Authority as presented to the board; the public motion did not include a detailed implementation schedule or specific contractor awards for Broadway Glass Plan activities.

The action, moved and approved by roll call during the June meeting, directs the county to provide the funds to the Redevelopment Authority, which will contract with 79 70 Associates LLC for project number BMP25-02 under the county's mitigation and demolition program. Chief Clerk, speaking on behalf of the Redevelopment Authority, presented the item to the board.

The resolution and accompanying cooperation agreement establish the Redevelopment Authority as the entity responsible for overseeing and completing the demolition work. Commissioners recorded the motion and approved the agreement by roll call; the clerk confirmed an affirmative vote on the motion.

The county record presented at the meeting states the program will provide the specified amount to be utilized by the Redevelopment Authority to complete work at the property. The chief clerk indicated no county funds beyond that allocation were discussed as conditions for award or oversight in the presentation.

The action follows other redevelopment items on the agenda, including adoption of the county consolidated plan and grant applications handled by the Redevelopment Authority. The commissioners did not discuss contracting details, timelines, or contractor sub‑awards in the public motion and vote.

Documents presented with the cooperation agreement identify the project by county project number BMP25-02 and name 79 70 Associates LLC as the contracting partner for demolition oversight and execution. The minutes show the board approved the motion by roll call without recorded dissent.","The Washington County commissioners approved a cooperation agreement to allocate $5,917,075 to the Redevelopment Authority to oversee demolition and remediation work at the Washington Mall property under the county's mitigation program.","actionData","errors"]
