The Commissioners’ work session on Wednesday went ahead as scheduled despite the physical absence of Commissioners Tony Amadio and Jack Manning. The two commissioners, who called in to participate in the meeting, chose to stay home safely amidst the ongoing surge of coronavirus cases in Pennsylvania. Commissioner Chairman Dan Camp, who was at the courthouse, addressed the Commissioners’ continued stance on safety practices and the growing numbers being reported with a mix of confidence and cautiousness.

“It’s a fluid situation,” Camp said. “It’s hard for us to give our opinions on what we see happening throughout the County, but as Commissioner Manning said, it’s important to understand…whether you believe a mask will work, you do it out of respect for the others around you. So it’s important that we follow those guidelines and do that.”

Both Solicitor Garen Fedeles & Assistant Solicitor Nate Morgan were present at the courthouse for the meeting. The Commissioners will hold a public meeting tomorrow at 10:00 AM, with the focus being on the CARES Act funding.
