Karl Ishman, Assistant District Engineer of PennDOT. Wanted to know what the Borough needed and he would let them know if it was possible and how it could happen. Manager McFadden explained that the drawing on the board was from Lake Engineering, which has been approved by PennDOT as alignment of sidewalks on 6N East southern side to the Post Office considered Phase I. The culvert passes under 6N is a PennDOT structure and we need to get the sidewalks across this structure. It could be done by cart-way or behind bridge wing wall. The question is how to get across the culvert? EUP has been approached and general statement said sidewalks have been requested in capital funding request but they have not heard as of this date of any funds for this project. Mr. Karl Ishman stated there was several ways to bridge and he was happy to see curbs and sidewalks were planned for the whole area. Mr. Ishman stated costs might go from moderate to a lot of money. His engineer estimated $400,000 for a bridge but could be less depending on need discussed. Mayor Allen again stated that this is state property and EUP had applied for capital project funding. A copy of the letter from EUP was given to Karl Ishman, Carmine Camillo of Jane Earll's office, Jake Welsh, and Josh Snyder of Representative Evans office. Mr. Ishman stated that $400,000 would cover the fill and bridging across the creek only. If pedestrian walkway was on the shoulder it would cost less or if move guard rails back another option. There are three sources of funds: TIP or transportation improvement project fund; T21 Federal program to enhance paths, sidewalks, etc.; or agility agreement where the local County maintenance Department of PennDOT exchange services with the local municipality. Charles Brand mentioned that the Borough's primary concern is to get handicapped and residents across the culvert to the Post Office. George Finney stated he felt the fill would be the EUP job and Mr. Ishman stated then the agility might be the best way to go to cover what was left to be done. Mayor Allen asked Mr. Ishman whom they needed to talk to? First you must talk to Mr. Ishman, then he would get them in contact with Jake Welsh a planning program manager if funds were needed or if using the agility method he would contact the County Manager. Some of the ways to trade costs is by renting sewer flushing equipment, street sweepers, and/or mowers. Paul Snyder asked if there were grants for sidewalks as well as the bridge. Mr. Karl Ishman stated anything is possible but the rule on sidewalks by PennDOT is if they tear them up or damage them they rebuild only. The T21 would build a shared bike/pedestrian path only and not sidewalks. Mayor Allen asked about a time frame for the project. Mr. Ishman thought if agility possibly 2001 other ways would be 2002 or 2003. Mayor Allen asked if the concrete arch was in need of repair? Karl Ishman stated it was not in need of repair.
Carmine Camillo of Jane Earll's office stated he had nothing further to add but his office would walk along with the Borough and when specific need is defined they would find a possible source or way to help the Borough.

Jake Welsh, Transportation Planner for Erie County and Secretary of Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) stated that information on TIP would be sent to the Borough and a handout on MPO was given to Council. Mr. Welsh stated that our contact was the Erie County Association of Boroughs (ECAB) and was willing to help the Borough if needed. Mayor Allen stated that the project was facing obstacles and they were trying to get as much help as possible. He thanked all present for coming and helping the Borough.
Jim Parker, 236 Waterford Street. Wanted to know about storm drains since it was running into his driveway. Tom Schruers, Public Works Director stated that this was preliminary plan to PennDOT and extensive plan would be done after Council's approval of the project.
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. If anyone present knows of someone who may be interested, please have him or her contact the Borough Manager.
Sidewalks to continue east on 6N where currently found going toward the Post Office as shown in alternate 1 to stay away from the trees. George Finney motioned to take motion off the table and Caroline Rhodes second. With no objections the motion was taken off the table by 6-0 voice vote. Caroline Rhodes asked if the motion should be defined to say property owners required to install sidewalks and curbs in front of their own property and Borough to pursue all avenues for assistance over the bridge on east 6N phase 1 toward the Post Office as Alternate 1 clarification states. Discussion followed on use of contractor. Mayor Allen stated that at the last meeting they had ordered Manager McFadden to notify property owners of our intent to do this and he hoped they would voluntarily install the sidewalks, but he personally was not in favor of sidewalks to nowhere. George Finney felt if the sidewalks were in the bridge would become a reality. Paul Snyder voiced a concern that both sides of the street should be done as a safety concern. He also felt this motion was against the ordinance and Alternate 1 was not a complete plan and that Borough needed to find money then work on sidewalks.

Mayor Allen asked Manager McFadden to read the motion as it is on the table: motion to continue sidewalks and curbs by property owners on 6N East from existing sidewalk area east to Post Office using alignment Alternative 1 approved by PennDOT considered as Phase 1 east. Manager McFadden stated that until the alignment of the culvert crossing was defined the property owners on each side of the culvert would have to wait to tie in. The three ways will be a separate bridge, behind the guardrail, or inside the guardrail. Storm sewer work must be completed by time curbs are installed. Tom Schruers, Public Works Director stated Alternate 1 was a preliminary study and a full plan will be submitted for a highway occupancy permit by our engineer with elevations, driveways, etc address all questions brought forth tonight. Manager McFadden stated it was the responsibility of the Borough to get the permit and storm sewer work and the property owners are responsible for curbs and sidewalks. Jim Parker asked if eventually he would see one on the other side of the road? Mayor Allen stated he would see every street someday having safe walking surfaces. Council does not intentionally pick one side over another they start on what funds the Borough can handle in that year. Paul Snyder stated that Darrow Road was ordered last year and it still was not finished so why do 6N east if Darrow Road is not finished? Caroline Rhodes stated that Darrow Road was being worked on by the Zoning Administrator. Mayor Allen called for a role call vote for the motion on the table: "motion to continue sidewalks and curbs by property owners on 6N East from existing sidewalk area east to Post Office using alignment Alternative 1 approved by PennDOT considered as Phase 1 east." Caroline Rhodes, yes; Charles Brand, yes; Paul Snyder, no; Robert Gray, yes; George Finney, yes; Jean Davis, absent; and Mayor Allen, no. Motion passed by 4-2 role call vote.
Caroline Rhodes asked if Code Enforcement Officer could communicate to the Building, Streets, & Grounds Committee on the progress and problems if any on Darrow Road. Manager McFadden stated this had been done. Mr. Redlawsk is questioning if we have in place proper authority to have him do it and until he is convinced he will not do it. Manager McFadden will speak to Solicitor Marsh to see what protocol is in order for this situation.
