Beaver County Commissioners chairman Dan Camp reported he and Tony Amadio met with head of children and youth services along with human resources director Sidney Shaw to interview attorneys Joe Askar, Dana Kwidas and Robert Alsko for CYS solicitor. According to Camp, the interviewed found all three qualified and it was determined the job is too demanding for one person. Previously, Robert Masters frequently sub contracted work to other attorneys. So, commissioners are considering hiring two of the three. State funding is ok with that as long as expenditures do not exceed 150 thousand dollars per calendar year. After discussion, commissioners agreed to determine who will be hired at next Wednesday’s work session. The meeting will take place at 10 am in the second floor chambers of the Monaca municipal building.

Camp said the jail, the sheriff and CYS have not submitted their 2019 budget. Camp said the three have been given until Friday to comply.
