- Banking RFP:
- Motion to accept the 1st Summit Bank offer. The motion was approved by Commissioner Hunt and seconded by Commissioner Rager. Motion opposed by Commissioner Chernisky, based upon the fact that all funds are not insured.
- Discussion
- Commissioner Hunt noted that FNB had the highest interest rate but expressed concerns that the rate would change in 4 months and the Board of Directors determines interest rates.
- Commissioner Chernisky suggested that BHoCC use 1st Summit for up to $250,000 for deposit as that is the amount they insure and Ameriserv for the remainder as they commit to insuring all of the funds deposited. Note: as a non-profit BHoCC is not legally required to ensure all funds are insured. No motion was made.
- To demonstrate full transparency, Commissioner Chernisky disclosed that his daughter is employed by Ameriserv.
- Any other business before the board?
- BHoCC name change to Cambria County HealthChoices: Motion approved for name change, pending solicitor review/approval, by Commissioner Rager and seconded by Commissioner Chernisky
Adjourn: Motion to Adjourn: Motion to adjourn by Commissioner Rager / seconded by Commissioner Chernisky
