When: Quarryville Borough Council meeting, April 5.
What happened: Borough Council decided not to support a local initiative calling for Lancaster County to establish its own public health department. Council President Joy Kemper was absent. Board members Diane Hastings, Jim Kreider and Brian Braightmeyer said they are satisfied with the current state health and emergency management services and could not justify forming another department.
Background: Manheim Township Board of Commissioners passed a resolution March 8 calling on county officials âto immediately initiate a working group to evaluate and recommend establishing a county health department by the end of 2021, if not before.â Manheim Township shared that resolution with other municipalities, hoping that would happen.
