The Butler County Commissioners on Wednesday will discuss the possibility of deducting $50 per month for employees and elected officials who want to park in the garage under the Government Center Annex, which is under construction.

County solicitor Mike English said at the commissioners meeting Momday that payroll deductions cannot be imposed, saying that employers need to ask employees before doing a deduction.

Chief clerk Amy Wilson said the county would be asked to establish a fee for parking. How the fee will be paid is another issue.

Wilson also noted that the county cannot have a payroll deduction for judges since they are paid by the state.

The county offered optional free parking for judges and elected officials in a lot behind the government center. However, the construction on the annex has officials parking elsewhere.

In other action at the commissioners' meeting:

n The bids by seven companies bid on a sidewalk project for West Sunbury were opened.

Bids came from Tim Fouse Excavating of Kittanning for $67,420, Joseph Palmieri Construction of Pittsburgh for $67,690, Mahoning Builders of New Castle for $66,987, Kishmo Inc. of Apollo for $85,720, Rhino Construction of Lower Burrell for $74,940, Rural Valley Construction of Rural Valley for $72,783 and R & B Contracting and Excavation of West Mifflin for $65,050.

Wendy Leslie, community development block grant coordinator, said the county should table to bids to study them.

The project, paid for with state grants, will include putting curb cuts along sidewalks to make them more handicap-accessible.

n The commissioners decided to vote Wednesday to approve Butler Ambulance Service to assist the county sheriff's office with training in the use of Naloxone, which is an opiate overdose antidote.

In June, commissioners voted to have the county apply for a $10,000 state grant to buy Naloxone kits for county police departments.

Tom Holman, deputy court administrator, said the county has not gotten the grant, but he said this action is to be ready for the training when the grant comes in. He said it is a requirement of the grant to have medical personnel supervise the training.

n The commissioners said they will vote on several human services and drug and alcohol contracts for 2015-2016, and also will vote on a five-year grant agreement with the state Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs. The grant will from this year to June 30, 2020, and the state will pay the county $4.8 million total, with annual payments of $964,214.
