Department Vacancies & Tourism Promotion Discussed At Commissioners’ Session

(Matt Drzik/Beaver County Radio)

The Commissioners’ final work session for February featured several different aspects; most of them focused on the local departments rather than legal or political issues.

First was Parks & Recreation head Tim Ishman, who spoke extensively about branching out the promoting of Beaver County in its tourism attractions through television commercials that would air in several far-off locations in Ohio and West Virginia:

 

However, according to Commissioner Sandie Egley, Ishman was “putting the cart before the horse”, and not acknowledging the lack of tourism pamphlets in welcome areas and rest stops along Pennsylvania’s western border:

 

An even more startling revelation came about a half-hour later during the work session, when it was learned that the information about several potential retirees in the County’s different departments was lacking, and the interest in filling these positions was lacking even further. Such a revelation was familiar to Waste Management director Holly Vogt, who aired out her grievances about being short-staffed:

 

Commissioner Egley shared Vogt’s concern about short-staffing and a lack of interest, adding a slight note about the shifting conditions among the Board of Commissioners:

 

Egley herself had recently announced that she is seeking the position of Beaver County Treasurer in the November election. Both Commissioner Chairman Dan Camp and Commissioner Tony Amadio have announced their plans to run for re-election.
