HOME RULE BOROUGH OF EDINBORO COUNCIL MEETING
Page 1 April 9, 2001
The following Council members were present: Charles Brand, George Finney, Caroline Rhodes, Jean Davis, Robert Gray, Mayor Clifford Allen and Paul Snyder. Also in attendance were E.R. Buck McFadden, Borough Manager; and Marie Lander, Assistant to the Manager. Guests present were James Parker, Joe Skalko, Edith Williams, Thelma M. Pascaran, Allison Langielt, Phil Bonus, Justin Bienkowski, and Gary Johnson.
Mayor Allen introduced the minutes from the Regular Scheduled Council Meeting held March 26, 2001. Caroline Rhodes moved for approval of the minutes and Charles Brand second. The minutes passed unanimously after discussion by voice vote 6-0 - 1 with Mayor Allen abstaining.
Joe Skalko, 234 Waterford Street. Mr. Skalko explained he was not against sidewalks just that not the same rule is followed by everyone. Example of this was not having both sides of a street install with sidewalks. He made the point that Council should sit down and talk over the issue of sidewalks instead of jamming it down citizen's throats by putting them in and putting a lien on property. With the census showing a loss of people the present residents can not pay for everyone. When will the bridge be put in by EUP? Mr. Skalko again stated he was not against sidewalks but he just wanted everyone to be treated equally.
Edith Williams, 200 Meadville Street. In August of 1994 she had replaced 143 feet of sidewalk in front of her property, which she had to borrow money to do. She stated there is no difference in Meadville Street and Erie Street they are both Route 99 and in the Borough. She had heard there were engineering problems to deal with both Route 99 and Waterford Street and felt it could be accomplished. She felt it was obscene that Council cannot bring themselves to enforce an existing ordinance. People need to be able to walk to the only grocery or Post Office in safety. Since she repaired her sidewalk in 1994, she has noticed many more walkers on her street. Ms. Williams felt that she was fortunate enough to be able to drive a car, but she felt the deepest sympathy for those who can't.

Thelma Pascaran, 224 Waterford Street. Ms. Pascaran stated when the sidewalk is built in front of her property she will be responsible for the on going maintenance and cleaning of the sidewalk.
James Parker, 236 Waterford Street. Mr. Parker received a letter March 18, 1999 stating that Zone 1 would be completed that summer. Zone 1 was Route 6N and Route 99. His question was is it both or only one side. Reason for installation was for pedestrians safety, the handicapped, and ordinance enforcement. Ordinance says both sides unless financial reasons, what is the financial reasons? George Finney stated that eventually all sides will have sidewalks. It was five years ago we started on Ontario Street, putting them where the Council felt they were needed first. Mr. Parker said no handicap person has gone by his house. George Finney stated he wouldn't go by it either if he had to walk in the road because of no maintained sidewalks. Mr. Parker observed that Valleyview Street students come down the north side and suggested putting it on both sides of 6N while the machinery is there it would cost less to do it all. He felt the people across the street are laughing at him that they don't have to put in sidewalks this summer and he does. Mayor Allen stated that it is the Council's intent to put sidewalks in to the Post Office. We have contacted John Evans and Jane Earll for their assistance. Manager McFadden stated that we have also contacted PennDOT because it is on their highway and the 6N East bridge is a PennDOT structure. They have not responded to date. Mr. Parker informed Council that the storm sewer problem with water running into his driveway has not been corrected. The installation of curbs and sidewalks will not correct this problem. Manager McFadden stated that the storm sewer problem will be looked into. Mr. Parker asked when the construction would begin? Manager McFadden stated that Council must first vote to do it. The report from the Buildings, Streets, & Grounds last meeting recommended installation and Council must vote on it tonight. What does this cost taxpayers? Manager McFadden stated it would be put out for bid and the cost of curbs and sidewalk would be the taxpayers responsibility. Mr. Parker asked about the cost to merchants for the downtown sidewalks? This was a CDBG project in a funding area. What about this grant for bridge and sidewalks? Manager McFadden stated that PennDOT has been contacted about the bridge but the grant downtown is not for other areas of the Borough only for downtown revitalization. Mr. Parker asked about the sidewalk to Giant Eagle? Mr. McFadden stated that has not been started. Mr. Parker stated it was in the newspaper and Jean Davis stated that is because it is in Zone 1. Mr. Parker stated that the letter two years ago stated about a grievance procedure. Would this be still in effect. Manager McFadden stated that the ordinance has a grievance procedure and after the Council decides where the sidewalks will be installed then residents may file grievance.
Mr. Skalko stated he asked some of Council to look over his area. He wanted to thank Caroline Rhodes for coming over and discussing it with him.

Being no other citizens interested in 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 and on the Environmental & Shade Tree Advisory Committee.
Cable TV Committee: Robert Gray, Chairman - nothing to report.
Finance Committee: Jean Davis, Chairman - nothing to report.
Ordinance Review Committee: Caroline Rhodes, Chairman - Reported that committee met April 2, 2001 and had three recommendations. 1) authorize Manager to continue to explore single application for assistance to the state; 2) allocate $3,000 from this year's General Fund budget for setting up the re-codified ordinance on the internet, as per Penns Valley publisher's proposal; and 3) to recommend accepting the Penns Valley Co. codification proposal when we are assured of getting the grant. Caroline Rhodes motioned to accept the three recommendations of the committee and Jean Davis second. Manager McFadden stated that the audit supported the transfer of $3,000 as well as the voluntary resignation of staff, which will not be replaced. With no objections the motion passed by 7-0 voice vote.
Personnel Committee: Charles Brand, Chairman - nothing to report.
Recreation Committee: Charles Brand, Chairman - nothing to report.
Public Safety Committee: George Finney, Chairman - nothing to report. Mayor Allen asked that Mr. Finney pay attention to meetings being held between the Police Department, Manager, and Fireworks Committee on possible traffic flow for the 4th July Celebration on Lakeside. Manager McFadden will keep Mr. Finney and Council informed of the outcome of discussion on this matter.
Streets, Buildings & Grounds Committee: Paul Snyder Chairman - No report.
Discussion followed and Mr. George Finney motioned to require homeowners to install sidewalks and curbs from the existing sidewalks on Waterford Street to the Post Office on the south side of the street to be known as Phase 1. Charles Brand second the motion as discussion followed. Caroline Rhodes stated that engineer study Alternate 1 saves the trees by using part of the existing bike path should be added to the motion. During the discussion that followed, Paul Snyder stated, "I agree with Edith Williams, I think it is obscene that Council cannot bring themselves to enforce the existing ordinance. Sidewalks including the one on Route 99 North and 6N East are necessary for county to grow and prosper. However we are not enforcing our ordinance, we are not following our law. It clearly states that it has to be on both sides of the street, it clearly states we have to

charge people that own the sidewalks for clearing them in the winter. I never seen it but I've been told that you are suppose to have cement curbs. Many of these things we are not doing. We are not putting it on both sides of the street, and a lot of places only on one, and we are not charging for plowing their sidewalks. If you go up to Maple Drive on the side that has sidewalks, I know for one there is asphalt curb. There is a lot of things we are not doing that says in our ordinance and this is important for us to follow our ordinance. This ordinance needs to be revised, reviewed and amended. I made that motion last year and unfortunately it was not second by anybody. I'm concerned about the way we word this ordinance and I'm concerned about the effect it could have on us including lawsuits that people can bring against us for not following the law. " After further discussion, George Finney called for the question. Mayor Allen asked the Council if they wanted to vote and not to continue discussion? By a 1-0 voice vote the call for the question died for lack of support. Mayor Allen asked to redefine the motion and amend it to include the Alternate #1 clarification. George Finney agreed to amend his motion to include Alternate #1 clarification and Charles Brand second. Jean Davis motioned to table this motion until next meeting when they could have a copy of Alternate 1 available for review and information from PennDOT, EUP, and the Commonwealth on their assistance. Paul Snyder second the motion and role call followed: Caroline Rhodes, no; Charles Brand, no; Paul Snyder, yes; Robert Gray, yes; George Finney, no; Jean Davis, yes; and Mayor Allen, yes. Motion passed by 4-3 role call vote. Mayor Allen directed Manager McFadden to get all the information he could from PennDOT by next meeting and to invite Rep. John Evans and Senator Jane Earll or their representatives to come April 23rd Council meeting and inform us what assistance that the Borough may receive from them. After further discussion Mayor Allen motioned to have notification be sent to inform residents of the Council's intent to move forward with sidewalks on 6N East on the south side to the Borough line and request voluntary compliance. George Finney second the motion and after discussion it passed by a 6-1 voice vote. Notify any and all property owners so they can comply.
George Finney informed Council of a PLCM road and bridge safety award, which has a deadline of May 11th. After discussion, Mayor Allen directed Manager McFadden to apply for the PLCM award if we qualify.
George Finney stated "I'm not going because the sidewalks isn't over the bridge on Darrow Road. But sidewalks have been put in on Darrow Road by the church, Father Bower, and all the way to apartments but not over bridge but it is an improvement and the bridge will go in, at least it is there. I feel it is a disgrace that this Council did not vote for sidewalks. Seven year, I've been in office there has been one project, a large project, there had been little ones sidewalks here. The only big sidewalk project has been Darrow Road. I think you are right people don't go were sidewalks are bad. Know there is many wheelchairs in the community. Paul Snyder asked to question George Finney. He said the one project was Darrow Road but was it completed? Why not? Isn't it in the ordinance that if it is not done within thirty (30) days the Borough must put in the

sidewalk on that property. Does it state that in the ordinance, George? George stated he did not have the ordinance in front of him. Paul Snyder question George Finney, you haven't read it? You never read the ordinance?" Jean Davis asked Mayor Allen to continue with the agenda. Mayor Allen moved back to the agenda.
Town-Gown Committee: Mayor Allen, Chairman - Instructed Manager to reschedule meeting with EUP for within the next two to three weeks.

Manager McFadden gave an update on the Sewer Service Agreement meeting held last Friday with Engineers, Solicitors, Managers, and WWCT Superintendents. They met to discuss the possibility in detail where by the issue to remove effluent discharge from the Washington Township Sewer Plant from the Lake. The members present went through part of the first list and agreed to meet Thursday afternoon to continue review.
