The temperature read single digits. The wind chill was heading for record lows.

Yet the only number concerning the County Commissioners was 10, as in the time that the trio was to call to order Wednesday’s work session as per the usual schedule.

During this particular work session, Public Works Director Dan Colville had a slew of updates regarding his department, including:

• A request to have a plaque dedicated at Brady’s Run Lodge in honor of a recently deceased Public Works member
• The need to restore/replace the pipes at the Brady’s Run Recreational Facilities; some of which are 40+ years old
• A snow truck having a malfunction and needing immediate repair

The last of these led Colville to reveal that the Department does not have a credit card in their name, a revelation that shocked Commissioner Sandie Egley:

 

Later during the meeting,  Commissioners’ Chairman Dan Camp spoke about the current situation involving the Beaver County Transit Authority, as he said that the recent changes have led to a slew of complaints that have arrived steadily:

 

The routes that are experiencing changes are Route 1 (from Chippewa to Pittsburgh via Route 65) and Route 11 (Rochester-Beaver-Brighton-Vanport), and the BCTA public meetings will be Monday at 5:00pm & 7:00pm at the Transportation Center in Rochester.

The meeting lasted 30 minutes before the Commissioners exited for executive session and those in attendance braved themselves back into the cold.
