YORK – This past week, the York County Commissioners agreed the commissioner chairman should have the ability to close the courthouse and other county operations in the event of an emergency.
This is done each year, in January. This ability to close county operations can be done without a vote of the county board. This would be in the case of a blizzard, a natural disaster, etc. A few years ago, the chairman had to close the courthouse due to a bomb threat. In the event the commissioner chairman is not available when an emergency presents itself, the power to close operations and the courthouse would then go to the vice-chairman. Currently, the commissioner chairman is Randy Obermier and the commissioner vice-chairman is Daniel Grotz.
