Greene County Supervisors 9_24The Greene County Board of Supervisors met Monday in regular session.

During open forum, the Assistant County Attorney Thomas Laehn updated the Board on the 28E agreement with the Greene County School District. He sent the draft of the preliminary agreement to the school district’s attorney for review. The agreement stipulates what the county will be committing to the district and requirements for using up to $5 million in tax increment financing (TIF) funds on the career academy building. Laehn mentioned the school district wanted to have the 28E agreement finalized by November 1st.

Also during open forum, MacDonald Insurance Agent Terry Lang updated the Board on the Teledoc program. He said there were 24 county employees that have registered and only 19 that have used it. February had the lowest amount of claims and the highest usage.

The Board then approved a resolution to propose selling property at 1207 Main Street in Scranton to Landus Cooperative. The public hearing date is slated for October 1st at 9am. Laehn mentioned that Landus Cooperative requested a second public hearing and notice of selling the property. They agreed to pay the costs of setting both up.

The Board also approved the Hazmat Emergency Support Function update as presented by Emergency Management Coordinator Dennis Morlan. The Board then heard several updates of the Region V Hazardous Materials Commission, Medical Examiner’s office and Emergency Management.

Finally, the Board held a brief discussion on the county’s health insurance. Board Chair John Muir said there is a committee of seven people working to recommend two options to the Supervisors. The Board reviewed the three current plans that employees are using. He said the two possible plans could be one from the current plan and one from a Health Savings Account. However, no formal action or decision took place following the update.
