(Beaver, PA) One of the topics discussed this morning at the Beaver County Commissioners’ work session at the Beaver County Courthouse in Beaver was when Beaver County Recreation and Tourism Director Tony Caltury brought up the situation of the liner of the pool at Old Economy Park in Baden during the department head report of the session. Caltury said that it has been determined that the liner of that pool is “no longer viable for the last couple of years,” and he also added that last year, it was getting to the point of water getting added to the pool each day because of the holes that were in it. Caltury stated that there will need to be a remediation to open the Old Economy Park pool, and he gave the Commisioners a report which included the full attendance of that pool from the last two years that was provided by the Beaver County YMCA, the expenses oustide of the replacement of the liner of that pool, and the cost for a replacement liner, which would have a ten-year warranty. However, Calutry noted that the life span is twenty-five years for that replacement liner. Caltury will meet with the Beaver County YMCA early next week to do a walktrough of the Old Economy Park pool. The other main topic that was discussed was an update on bringing documents from the Wampum Mushroom Mines to a facility owned by St. Barnabas. Beaver County Solicitor Garen Fedeles expressed during the solicitors’ report of the session that effective immediately, a maximum of 250 boxes a week can be brought from the mines to the facility after they are ordered each week to transport them. In other business, Commissioner Jack Manning praised the recent reinstitution of an act for railway safety from lawmakers like Senator John Fetterman and addressed the recent hack that was targeting Pittsburgh mayor Corey O’Connor that was believed to be from a pro-Nazi group in the Commissioners’ report. After Commissioner Manning addressed the hack, he let Beaver County Emergency Service Director Eric Brewer respond to this development, and he said that “it could happen,” and “the hackers are ahead of us.” The Director and Recycling Coordinator of the Beaver County Office of Sustainability and Waste Management, Becca Naber, also expressed that she sent a memo about a process for landfill in Beaver County during the department head report of the session. There were eleven responses to that and ten of them were found to be adequate to provide ladfill capcity for the residents of Beaver County for the next decade.
