The minutes of the Special Meeting of August 6, 2001 was introduced. Jean Davis moved for approval of the minutes and Charles Brand second. With no objections the corrected minutes were approved by 6-0 vote.
Mary Zuck, 708 Aspen Way. She requested time to speak on an on going problem on Aspen Way. It is a dead end street which meets the new development of Denny Porto and McBrier's. She stated that four wheelers drive through and cars race through PineView and Aspen Way for a short cut to Giant Eagle. This is a danger to our children on the street. In the past the Borough had dumped dirt at the entrance and it lasted awhile until it got worked down by rain and trucks going over it. Manager McFadden thanked Mary Zuck for calling the other day and that he was planning to get together with Tom Schruers, Public Works Director; Chief Jeff Craft; and the developer this week to see if something could be worked out in a timely manner.
Amy Mulligan, 120 Beau Drive. Asked if the residents of Beau Drive would be able to speak at the point in the agenda the Council discusses Beau Drive or should they speak at this point. Manager McFadden stated that he felt they could all discuss this subject now so they would not need to stay for the whole meeting if they did not wish.

He explained that Tom Schruers, Public Works Director had sent a memo to the Council identifying options and costs associated with it for Beau Drive. The first point is the cost of pipe and catch basins of $9,750.
Charles Malec, 118 Beau Drive. Stated that he had just purchased 8 inch plastic pipe at 100 feet long for $300 and could not see how it could cost $9,750. He also stated that the Borough had put in 8 inch pipe under driveways less than a month ago. Manager McFadden explained that when the driveway pipes were put in they felt that ditching was what the area needed not in the context of closed storm sewer system. The piping costs are for 1500 feet of 15 inch pipe and six (6) catch basins. Mr. Malec stated that the Borough should of assumed they would pipe someday. Manager McFadden stated at the time it was built the plans called for ditches and it was accepted. Ditches is a standard option to deal with storm water and you would not assume it would be piped only ditches maintained. We have come to see over time that possible closed pipe system is an alternative to pipes and swales. The pipes taking care of under-drainage and swales taking surface water with 8 inch pipes under driveways. Tom Schruers, Public Works Direct stated that 15 inch pipe and catch basins would have to be used because of liquid fuels mandated use of 15 inch pipe. He gave an example of Sherrod Hill Road under drain in the road was installed 10-20 years ago it was sufficient and today it is too small to carry the water. Caroline Rhodes asked what happens to the 8 inch pipes if closed pipe system is installed. Tom Schruers stated that they would be taken out and 4 foot catch basins would be put in. All new homes would be required to have these catch basins. He also stated that a ditch would still be needed for road water run off. Manager McFadden stated that timing was a factor if the Council decided to do the closed system. It is planned to pave the street this year and next year install the closed system storm sewer system.
Pam Valone, 124 Beau Drive. Something must be done this year we can not have ice again like last year. We pay a lot of money and taxes and something must be done this season. It is unfair we have been patient and you know how bad it is. This summer you have come up and worked on it several times. Council must address this problem the residents can not deal with another winter like last year. Pave all you want but will it get rid of the water?
Amy Mulligan, 120 Beau Drive. You are all aware of the ice last winter and even one of your trucks had an accident on the ice. We have all been very patient and she felt that the Borough should rearrange schedules and get the work done this year.
Barb Jacobs, 111 Beau Drive. No reason to pave and dig it back up next year to do the drains. Tom Schruers, Public Works Director explained that they would not pave the driveways and dig them back up. The driveways just will not match the road as is found in other areas.

Charles Malec asked why pave before storm sewers, why not complete all at one time. He felt the pads on the back hoes would break up the asphalt and thought it would be a mistake if it was not completed at this time. Caroline Rhodes stated that Tom Schruers would do his best job and she felt the Streets Committee should be involved.
Manager McFadden touched base on scheduling factors. Paving program has been awarded to be finished by Sept. 30th deadline. If Council decides not to pave this year we would have to shift the paving to another street in the amount of $16,000. The piping for closed system is $10,000 for materials not labor. Our 6 man crew would have to have it completed next week because of paving and something would not get done. Discussion followed about manpower options, to not pave this year and switch to another street, and pipe later in this year but pave next year or do both this year bumping what ever had to been done. Amy Mulligan respectfully requested that they make this a priority.
Deputy Mayor Rhodes stated they had heard the concerns and the Manager and Public Works Director need to work out the details. Manager McFadden stated that they needed direction from Council. Paul Snyder Chairman of Streets Committee stated he would like to look at it but needed further information and it would cause a delay until Sept 10th meeting. Jean Davis asked if funds were available in liquid fuels. She also informed the residents that $10,000 is one mill of taxes to everyone in the Borough and would be only for parts and not labor. She asked what would not be done if Public Works worked on Beau Drive. Tom Schruers stated that he had a list to do before snow such as removing docks, picking up leaves, repairing the dam, etc. He stated that no one expected the ice and we do have ditches elsewhere in the Borough. Also Russell Standard will give only two days notice, they could even come Thursday or Friday of this week. He felt they could pave this year and work on the ditches next year and set catch basins better to the roadway. Tom felt this was not a one week project and utilities would have to be respotted. He recommended paving this year and catch basins next year. Jean Davis asked if it would be in the street right-a-way. It would be 30 " wide by 4' deep in the right-a-way. Robert Gray stated he had faith in the Road Superintendent to take care of the ice and water problems for the winter and piping next year. George Finney stated he was a toolmaker and did not know about storm sewers. He felt Tom knew about roads and Council should abide by his thoughts. Charles Brand agreed with George that he had watched Tom for over 5 years and he makes good decisions.
Robert Gray motioned that Beau Drive be paved this year and next spring pipes and catch basins be installed as Tom Schruers, Public Works Director had recommended. Charles Brand second the motion and discussion followed. Pam Valone stated that terrible rains this summer has clogged the slueths and ditches are being aroided away. Tom Schruers stated that the crew would have to come and adjust the ditches again.
