pavers, trees, and sidewalks. There will be no decorative lighting. It has been reviewed and one side is more cost effective with the number of driveways on the other side. The FY2002 construction season will be used for this project since the CDBG funds are not available until August 2001 and the water and sewer departments will be working on Mill Street for sewer replacement and a waterline loop to improve water pressure. Liquid Fuels monies will be used in FY2002 to top coat the street.
The second item is Parks and Recreation. This will include improvement to Natures Outlet for fishing facilities; improve safety base; and to improve Onda Beach shoreline to make it a better fishing area and for beautification. The last item under Public Facility Improvements is the Edinboro Dam Spillway Restoration, which is required by PennDOT and is CDBG eligible.
The proposed removal of Architectural Barriers is for doorways to be ADA compliant using CDBG FY2000 funding and in FY2001to have the restrooms in the lower level and a drinking fountain ADA acceptable. These projects total $144,060 while the program administration costs of $31,623 will also be covered.
Mayor Allen opened the meeting up to the public for public comment.
Bob Cannell, 124 Harrison Drive, Edinboro, of the Edinboro Kawanis. Mr. Cannell asked Council to consider the extention of the downtown revitalization project. The Kawanis have been selling benches and liter receptacles and as of right now they have sold 16 of the 20 benches and they have not opened it up to the public. They will have a public kick off on March 15th at the Edinboro Fire Hall. He pleaded for additional areas so they could continue on with this downtown revitalization. They have also sold 500 bricks, which will replace bricks in place that can be used in other areas for pavers.
Caroline Rhodes asked what areas the Kawanis thought was highest priority for expansion. Mr. Cannell stated that any high visibility area. Jean Davis stated that selling 20 benches was great and that there were many more options for benches including Natures Outlet and Lakeside shoreline. Manager McFadden stated that staff was furnishing Mr. Cannell with the location that the benches will be placed and those purchasing the benches can request one of these sites. Also the park and recreation portion has been talked about over the past years as well as the restrooms downstairs and the doorways that are planned for this year. Caroline Rhodes questioned on what they were looking at beyond Short and Mill Street. Manager McFadden stated their preliminary thinking after Mill Street was 6N East toward Copper Coin which will be a challenging area and will be handled differently but possibly the same as Mill Street. The section 6N West needs a lot more thinking to tie it into the other sections.

Caroline Rhodes questioned about the new bridge on 6N being blank and drab. Possible horizontal mural with a theme of pavers, benches, and trees, or an emphasis of water theme of fish and turtles to add beautification to the community could be a project of the Kawanis. Robert Gray felt that a picture would cause accidents with people looking at the pictures. Manager McFadden stated that there was also suggestions of planters on top of the bridge with perennials and annuals.
With no other comments, Mayor Allen noted that the FY2001 CDBG projects would be voted on March 12, 2001 at the Council's 7:00 p.m. meeting.
Adjournment:
Charles Brand motioned for adjournment at 6:55 p.m. With no objections the Public Hearing was adjourned.
