Monroe County Treasurer Theresa Johnson’s decision to change from PNC Bank to First Keystone Community Bank and East Stroudsburg Saving Association for the county’s many accounts is estimated to net the county more than six figures in the first year.

Johnson told the commissioners on Wednesday that they will be “pleasantly surprised” with the results from the change.

“The money will come from increase in interest as well as savings on fees,” Chairman John Moyer said.

The decision to change banking institutions was made last month. The treasurer’s office has been busy opening the new accounts.

The commissioners also approved a number of items including a maintenance agreement with Otis for annual elevator service at the Loder Building at $521 per month, an extension to the lease for the Pocono Township Magistrate’s office through Oct. 14 at a rate of $2,700 per month as well as approving cleaning services for several of the district justice’s offices.

A change order in the amount of $4,620 was approved for additional engineering services for the Foxtown 911 tower.

RKR Hess was approved to provide bridge deck cleaning and vegetation control for county bridges in 2018 at a rate of $6,500.

Two 2017-A Emergency Solutions grants were amended in the amount of $15,000.

The chief clerk was given approval to advertise an auction for June 8 of confiscated and used county vehicles.

A grant application was approved to submit a PCORP Loss Prevention Grant Program in the amount of $14,880 to update and expand the panic button alarm system in the county administration building.

The following purchase of service agreements were approved for Children and Youth:
