Beaver County commissioners used their February meeting to adopt proclamations for Rare Disease Day and Pennsylvania 4‑H Week, approve routine meeting minutes and bills, and carry a package of resolutions reviewed by the law department.
Unidentified Speaker 2 read a proclamation recognizing Feb. 28, 2026, as Rare Disease Day in Beaver County, noting national observation efforts and that many rare conditions lack FDA-approved treatments. A board member moved the proclamation into effect and the motion was approved by voice vote.
The board also enacted a proclamation recognizing March 5–21, 2026, as Pennsylvania 4‑H Week in Beaver County, citing 4‑H’s youth-development work and Extension networks. Representatives and youth associated with 4‑H thanked the board and described local clubs, including a newly offered Hookstown Hills Clover Club for ages 5–7.
On routine business, commissioners moved, seconded and approved the Feb. 12, 2026 public meeting minutes, Feb. 11, 2026 committee minutes, and Feb. 18, 2026 work-session minutes. The controller presented bills for payment; the board voted to approve payment. The human resources personnel report (Attachment A) was approved with one abstention noted in the record.
The board also approved bid-opening items for the Rochester Borough New York Avenue Sewer (Attachment B) and Midland Sanitary Sewer Improvements (Attachment C). The solicitor informed the board that resolutions numbered 022626‑01 through 022626‑13 had been reviewed by the law department and recommended approval; members voted to carry the recommendation.
No visitors offered comments on non-agenda items. The board announced its next public meeting for March 12, 2026, at 10 a.m. in the Public Meeting Room and adjourned the session.
The meeting record does not indicate any contested roll-call vote tallies for the listed approvals; votes are recorded in the minutes as voice votes with members saying "aye."
