(Beaver, Pa) The Beaver County Commissioners met Wednesday morning for their weekly work session.

It was relayed during the meeting that solutions are being explored regarding heat in the entrance of the Courthouse. The Commissioners would like to see some type of heat source in place for Officers of the Sheriff’s Department and residents using the entrance.

Also during the meeting there was a brief discussion regarding the processing of documents currently stored in the Wampum Mushroom Mines. As the Commissioners continue to explore possibilities of moving the documents, County Controller Maria Longo is working to find out which documents can be destroyed or digitized and which ones need to remain.

Multiple resolutions were also discussed briefly during the session. One in particular is for the Recreation Department to deploy a visitor tracker system. The system would be used to track cell phone data to determine the amount of visitors to the county during events.

Another resolution brought up was a ban on electronic heaters in County Government facilities. All personal space heaters would effectively be banned due to fire concerns and interference with the building heat systems.
