The Butler County commissioners on Wednesday awarded a $3,670 contract to Negley Design of Portersville for engineering services to separate utilities at the Sunnyview complex.

The company will charge an additional $85 an hour for any work outside the scope covered in the contract.

Utility lines for the Sunnyview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and other buildings at the complex have to be separated because of the pending sale of Sunnyview.

Commissioner Jim Eckstein dissented. He later said he voted no because of his opposition to a sale, which has not happened yet.

Commissioner Bill McCarrier, board chairman, pointed out the utility lines must be separated before Sunnyview can be sold.

The county is negotiating with Investment 360 of Lakewood, N.J., to buy the nursing home.

County officials maintain Sunnyview should be sold because of its annual deficit.

Glade Run donation

The commissioners adopted a resolution setting aside $110,000 — $55,000 in both 2014 and 2015 — for the Glade Run Lake Conservancy.

The money, which would come from state natural gas drilling impact fee funds, is for the dam restoration project in Middlesex Township.

The county previously gave $4,000 to the project.

Sheetz project OK’d

The commissioners approved a developers’ agreement with Sheetz Inc. and Butler Township regarding the company’s relocation of its convenience store to the corner of Morton and Center avenues from the opposite corner of the intersection.

The agreement is required due to the company’s $75,000 annual lease of 3.5 acres from the county for the site of the new store.

The commissioners also approved a stormwater management facilities operation and maintenance agreement for the project.

Zelie revitalization

The commissioners approved a cooperation agreement with Zelienople for the Zelienople Revitalization and Economic Development project.

The agreement enables the borough to seek $3.9 million in state grant funding to revitalize Main Street and the Kaufman House, which would receive $1 million.

Commissioner Jim Eckstein dissented, saying $1 million in funds should not be designated solely for the Kaufman House.
