Ask the Commissioners on Teleforum with Frank Sparks Thursday June 07, 2018

The monthly segment “Ask the Commissioners” turned into “Ask the Commissioner” as Commission Chairman Dan Camp was at a meeting and Commissioner Tony Amadio is on vacation. Commissioner Sandie Egley and host Frank Sparks discussed the search for a new Financial Administrator and why has it been so hard to find a replacement for Ricardo Luckow who was fired by Camp and Amadio on March 8, 2018 that was part of a shake-up in the Courthouse that saw Egley ousted as Chairwomen and replaced with Camp.  Egley said that she thinks politics might be playing a role in it and that people are scared that there is no job security in the position since Luckow was ousted without notice.

Sparks and Egley also talked about the condition of the ice arena and if the conditions were as bad as what the person who came forward during a previous work session said they were. Egley said that the arena needs work and that the immediate concerns have been addressed.

They also talked about the Parks and the new bridge that was washed over with water in Brush Creek Park, the five dollars that the county receives from the state that is added to the registration, and finally they talked about a couple great events coming up that will show case Beaver County.  If you would like to see Commissioner Egley’s interview this morning on Facebook live click the play button below….
