The following Council members were present: Charles Brand, George Finney, Jean Davis, Robert Gray, Mayor Clifford Allen and Paul Snyder. Member absent was Caroline Rhodes. Also in attendance were E.R. Buck McFadden, Borough Manager; and Marie Lander, Assistant to the Manager. Guests present were Donna Costa, Joan Weibert, Barb Jacobs, Renee Thayer, Danielle Dickson, Shari Lasher, Jim McEldowney, Jeff Phyler, Amanda Barko, Bill Hunter, Janet Getson, Rege O'Neill, Marty Simmons, Ginny Kein, Linda King, Sue Simmens, Pat Mswonger, Chris Elliott, Patty Regan, and Diana Corner.
Mayor Allen introduced the minutes from the regular scheduled Council meeting held February 26, 2001. Jean Davis moved for approval of the minutes and Charles Brand second. The minutes passed unanimously by voice vote 6-0.
Concerned Citizens on the Outdoor Pool represented by Donna Costa, 12021 Jesse Drive, Edinboro. Ms. Costa explained that she had talked to the Orr's and they were advised not to attend the meeting but they had sent a letter to the Borough and published it in the Independent. Copies of the published letter was distributed to all present. The Orr's explained it was a complicated issue concerning the Orr's, Borough, YMCA, and Washington Township. Washington Township had declined to attend the Council meeting because of other items on the agenda besides the pool. Ms. Costa explained she felt it was important that since they live near a lake, children need to know how to swim and learn water safety skills. In the summer with swimming lessons the community comes together to cool off and make new friendships while middle and high school students meet in a safe place to socialize. The citizens are coming together to try and save this pool. Ms. Costa hoped that the Orr's would do the right thing and lease to the YMCA while things are being worked out. She requested that the parties meet again in two weeks so the pool could open this year. She reiterated her two points: 1) Orr's must do the right thing and lease to YMCA and 2) parties must meet and discuss the long term solution.
Jim McEldowney, Director of the County YMCA, residing in Girard stated he wanted to discuss the points in the Orr letter. Point 1) Grant application was given to the YMCA from the Orr's in the middle of January 2001. The YMCA is unable to apply because the cost of maintenance since 1996 has been over $60,000 and at the present $100,000 repairs are needed to the pool. The
HOME RULE BOROUGH OF EDINBORO COUNCIL MEETING
Page 2 March 12, 2001
problem is how to come up with the money for repairs and operate properly for five (5) to ten (10) years when they have been running at a loss for the last five (5) years. The Joint Recreation Advisory Committee, recently formed, met in February to discuss a possible municipal grant to apply for purchase of the property but there was the question of not being able to get funds for repairs. 2) Second, in 1999 the YMCA built a community building not being able to afford the community access indoor pool which was earmarked for phase II which has a snag at this time. Instead of applying for a pool that is in need of such repairs we need a pool that can be used twelve (12) months out of the year. 3) Third point, the YMCA not committed to long term outside pool. With an indoor and outdoor pool the YMCA would not be able to operate both if the outdoor pool had $100,000 repairs. They would have to cut hours indoors or outdoors or eliminate one or both, if the repairs were the YMCA's problem. The YMCA's concerns are who will pay for the repairs, subsidizing loss of operations, long term goal is it three month or twelve month pool, what do to pay back grant if outdoor pool not used, and will Orr's buy back the pool if life expelled
Mayor Allen informed everyone that a letter from the Orr's was received and was passed out for everyone's review. It stated,
"We agree with Edinboro Borough Council that they are not the appropriate eligible applicant for a possible DCNR grant for the Culbertson Hills pool. The Borough of Edinboro should not own the outdoor pool if the YMCA, the recreational leader of the community, can not commit to operating the pool for the long term. The YMCA is the appropriate applicant. In early January, the YMCA was originally offered the position of grant applicant, with a 50% cash-in-kind match ($122,500) from Culbertson Hills. The YMCA declined this offer. Their rationalization is that their recreational swimming future lies with a $2,100,000 indoor pool at their own location. When and how this project will be financed is unanswerable. The reality is that a beautiful outdoor pool, which would cost more than $600,000 to build today, is available at no cost to the community if the YMCA applies for the grant with the support of the public and municipalities.
Three important questions must be answered in the grant application. A long-term commitment to operate the pool form the YMCA answers the first question on "Needs and Benefits" to the community. "Written evidence of intergovernmental cooperation" would be satisfied by the implementation of a regional sewer agreement. Two years of DEP task force meetings have brought the two municipalities to verbally agree on a sewer solution that satisfies the Borough of Edinboro concerns on this matter. This agreement is before Edinboro Council but they have yet to finalize it. Washington and Franklin Townships have been most cooperative towards a resolution. Our hats are off to them! We can only hope that the May 200 DEP court order is complied with to save an important recreational and economic resource, Edinboro Lake. The third question is public involvement. We strongly believe the members of the YMCA, and the citizenry as a whole, will support the position that the Culbertson Hills outdoor pool should have a long-term commitment form the YMCA to provide safe recreational swimming for the area.

The YMCA and the Edinboro Council have stated that once an indoor pool is constructed, the outdoor pool will no longer be necessary. We strongly disagree with that assumption. Winters in Edinboro are long enough and people want to be outside in June, July, and August.
Concerned citizens who have sent e-mails and letters to us in regards to the pool have been misguided. Culbertson Hills has donated thousands of dollars toward capital improvements for the pool by reducing YMCA lease payments for several years. Citizens should ask their YMCA officials why the pool is not a part of their long-term planning when they can acquire it for free. Perhaps a solution is for the YMCA to acquire and operate an existing outdoor pool for the three summer months and use it as a foundation to plan for their multi-million dollar indoor pool complex."
Ms. Costa asked when the Manager could meet with the parties on the pool issue. Manager McFadden stated she should contact him in his office.
Manager McFadden stated that at the Joint Recreational Advisory Committee meeting with Franklin Township, Dave Henderson; Washington Township, David Anthony; Borough Councilwoman Jean Davis; and himself the points Mr. McEldowney mentioned were discussed. Also discussed was that an indoor pool with outdoor veranda for a year round pool was in the plans for the YMCA and possible interest exists for an indoor pool with North Western School District having a swim team and General McLane School District. The cost of the indoor year round pool is estimated at 1.8 to 2.1 million. Dave Anthony at the meeting spoke on his experience in the area with the climate that outdoor pools are expensive and usually are subsidized which Mr. McFadden stated he agreed to his observations. Subsidy is desired for deferred maintenance of $100,000 plus annual operating costs. The Borough prospective on operating costs of pool is that they committed to $2,500 for three years and paid four years. The Borough pays over $17,000 a year to the YMCA for life guards and management of the life guards at the Beach. Mayor Allen noted that in the past they had three guarded beaches but the labor costs have grown and there will be only one beach open this summer. Manager McFadden went on to state that no other entity helps pay costs of lifeguards and like the pool you don't have to be a resident to use the Lake. Cost sharing of the pool with Washington Township and the Borough does not happen with the lifeguards or maintenance of the beaches. Mr. McEldowney of the YMCA stated that YMCA memberships consist of 289 Washington Township residents, 292 Edinboro Borough residents, and 38 Franklin Township residents. Manager McFadden stated the three significant factors for summer water sports are the pool, Lake, and perspective indoor pool at the YMCA. A fundraising drive for anyone one of these would impact the other two as competing options. Mr. McEldowney stated that the YMCA was willing to lease the outdoor pool this year even at a higher lease if needed.
Renee Thayer, 12734 Forest Drive, Edinboro stated that the pool is a plus to the Borough. She had joined the YMCA for the use of the indoor/outdoor pool and no pool runs at a
HOME RULE BOROUGH OF EDINBORO COUNCIL MEETING

profit in this area and is considered a community loss. Ms. Thayer felt that a per family charge for the pool should be assessed. The pool should be for residents while the Lake is used by tourists also. There is a year round pool at the college and also at the Ramada Inn that could be used by tourists. She felt the community was willing to pay $100 a year to run the pool and something must be worked out for the children this summer. Ms. Costa asked if Manager McFadden could contact the Orr's, Franklin Township, and Washington Township to set up a meeting. Manager McFadden asked if Ms. Costa could take care of that, which she agreed. Ms Thayer stated that $100 from residents and $150 from non residents of the Borough using the pool would generate $60,000 toward the $100,000 repairs. Manager McFadden stated that would be a discussion with the YMCA since they are the operators and charge the fees for use of the pool. Mr. McEldowney of the YMCA stated the extra amount charge would be up to the
Borough. It was noted that their was already a fee on the users and this charge would be for maintenance of running the pool until it is up and running. A lot of factors are involved since the YMCA membership gives full access to the pool.
Deedee Thompson, 116 Water Street, Edinboro. It will be years before the indoor pool at the YMCA with an outside area will be completed. She stated she would not take her children to an indoor pool in the summer when they really need to be outside. Everyone should incur the same cost if cut between three entities it would be approximately $33,000. Manager McFadden stated that in that context the discussion should be with the General McLane School District and the towns within to spread the amount even finer.
Shari Lasher, 12898 Forest Drive, Edinboro asked what they needed to do. Manager McFadden stated this year the only one party can answer that and it is the Orr Brothers.
Donna Costa stated that she specifically asked the Orr brothers that question and they know the importance it is to us.
Jean Davis, Borough Councilperson stated that sometime ago the Borough took on the pool which used much of employee time and funds to run the pool ourselves. We have spent tremendous money on the pool and beaches with the $17,000 this year for one beach being 2mills of taxes to those who live in the Borough. We have paid long term for 35-40 years. We are as concerned as you. My daughter bought a house close to the pool area so her children could walk to the pool and to the library. We are not given enough time to try and get an agreement with the school district given only 2-3 months. It sounds great to get a grant for the pool but it has to stay that way or money from the grant must be paid back. We have raised taxes two years in a row and no one wants more than us to have the pool for the community but the money is not in the budget. The many issues of grants and long term commitments and repairs with only a short time to work it all out.
HOME RULE BOROUGH OF EDINBORO COUNCIL MEETING

Robert Gray, Borough Councilman stated that the people could form a corporation and buy the pool and charge fees as a self entity to run and operate the pool.
Mayor Allen stated he was happy to be the forum for this discussion. He suggested they go back to their own municipalities and let them hear the same information. Borough of Edinboro paid all these expenses for years at the Borough taxpayers expense as a good neighbor and now it is time for the communities to help.
Being no further speakers under public participation the Mayor moved on to Old Business.
Employee Safety Program Manual and Public Water Emergency Response Agreement were continued to be tabled.
Mayor Allen stated that there was still one vacancy as alternate on the Zoning Hearing Board, one on the Environmental & Shade Tree Advisory Committee, and one on the Civil Service Commission. If there is no response to the advertisement on the cable and newspaper he suggested Council recruit interested persons. Charles Brand stated he would be interested in the Civil Service Commission position next year. He was asked to fill out an application and it would be kept for appointment. Paul Snyder asked what the Civil Service Commission did and Manager McFadden explained it to everyone.

Town-Gown Committee: Mayor Allen, Chairman - letter was received in response to our letter for a meeting. The date they are requesting is not available for Manager McFadden or the Mayor. Manager McFadden would compile a list of dates that Jean Davis, Mayor Allen, and himself would be available and forward it on to the college. Robert Gray asked about the EUP Roundtable Forum and what roundtable each Councilperson would like to attend. Mayor Allen stated that each Councilperson should contact the Manager with his choices to make sure the Council is represented at all the roundtables.
Nothing to report.
Enclosed for Council's review was County of Erie Assessment Bureau notice of exemption hearings; letter from EUP on date for Town-Gown meeting; and memo on Finance meeting regarding COLA for police pension.
Manager McFadden explained that the language of the earlier COLA could not be implemented as it read because of Act 600. The present award is Act 600 COLA award which should be used by all retirees. This will also avoid any findings by the Auditor General for non compliance with Act 600. With this ratification the only thing not current is the formal enactment of Pension Plan document which the Finance Committee will have shortly for review. Jean Davis motioned and Charles Brand second the ratification of a one tier retirement COLA in compliance with Act 600 as presented by the Finance Committee, Manager McFadden, and the bargaining unit. With no objections the motion passed by 6-0 voice vote. Jean Davis requested the letter from Mockenhaupt Associates dated February 27, 2001 be inserted in the minutes in its entirety for future reference. (see attachment A - 4 pages).
