Starting February 1, if you don’t have a REAL ID or acceptable form of ID (like a passport) for domestic flights, you may pay a $45 fee to verify your identity through TSA ConfirmID. A passport card ($30) or passport book are both accepted REAL ID alternatives for domestic air travel and can help you avoid this fee, but just remember that a passport card cannot be used for international air travel (you'll need a passport book for that). Learn more about the Real ID policy at TSA.gov/real-id and about passport cards at travel.state.gov/passportcard

​YORK – The York County Commissioners have extended the county’s contract with Zelle, a human resources consulting firm, for another year.
When the county first started working with Zelle, the commissioners signed off on a one-year contract. Then it went to a nine-month contract and somewhere along the way it went to a 30-day agreement.
Zelle asked the county to continue their services, with the monthly fee staying the same, with a one-year contract.
“I’m fine with it,” said Commissioner Randy Obermier. “I was the biggest skeptic on this board before we started working with Zelle, but we’ve seen how much we actually use them. And it would be much, much more expensive if we had a HR position in-house.”
The county board agreed to sign the one-year contract with Zelle.

YORK – This week, the York County Commissioners had a conversation with Alex Saathoff, director of the York County Visitors Bureau (YCBV), regarding the possibility of hiring a part-time intern to work at the local agency.

​YORK – This week, Ernie Price, York County’s weed superintendent, presented his annual report – which is done each year at this time.
Price said how, at this point of the fiscal year, the department has used 43% of the budget and 29% of the chemical budget, “with a lot of leftover product so we are in really good shape, we are standing good.”
He said, in the past year, how of the noxious weeds found in the county, about the same amount of musk thistle was discovered but incidents of leafy spurge were up.
“Phragmites is way up, we are working to do public awareness,” Price said.
He also noted how phragmites is being found in strange locations, in places where it wouldn’t be expected. He said these particular noxious weeds can be seen now but they will need to be green to treat it. He said it is beneficial to treat them in the fall.
The commissioners approved the weed report and thanked him for his efforts.
