Indiana County Commissioners were forced to remove someone during public comment at this morning’s regular meeting.
Lana Ratay with the Indiana County Citizens Coalition was voicing remarks against the Indiana County Municipal Emergency Services Authority when she went over her allotted three minutes. After repeated requests from Mike Keith to wrap up, Ratay was escorted out of the meeting room by Sheriff Bob Fyock and one of his deputies. Keith said that the three minute time limit in place as a sign of respect to allow everyone to speak.
During the voting portion of the meeting, the Commissioners approved a contract with 4Ward Planning to complete the Housing Plan Update and Land Bank feasibility study at a cost of $75,000 to be paid with CDBG funds. Also, the Commissioners were presented with a commemorative piece of Pennsylvania slate engraved with a picture of the old courthouse as a token of appreciation for the roof replacement project.
