COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
PROGRAM (FFY 2002)
PRELIMINARY SYNOPSIS
PUBLIC HEARING
The Borough of Edinboro intends to submit an application to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2002. At the present time, it is unknown what the Borough's FY 2002 allocation will be, but it is anticipated to be approximately $175,000.
These funds can be used for a variety of purposes within the Borough of Edinboro such as public improvements (water, sewer, streets, recreation, etc.) to arrest the physical and/or environmental decline of the area, rehabilitation of deteriorating housing units, removal of architectural barriers to the elderly or physically challenged, energy conservation projects, etc. At least 51% of the population benefiting from the project must be of low or moderate income.
The Borough of Edinboro is responsible for replacing all low and moderate income housing units that are demolished or converted. However, the displacement of persons as a result of projects selected will be avoided to the greatest extent possible. A Residential Anti-displacement and Relocation Policy has been adopted by the Borough of Edinboro for all activities funded under this program.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
Page 1 November 5, 2001
Call to Order:
Monday, November 5, 2001, Mayor Clifford Allen called regularly scheduled meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
Roll Call:
The following Council members were present: Caroline Rhodes, Jean Davis, Robert Gray, George Finney, Mayor Clifford Allen, and Paul Snyder. Council Member Charles Brand was absent. Also in attendance was E.R. "Buck" McFadden, Borough Manager; and Marie Lander, Assistant to the Manager. Guests present were David Hunt of Meadville Tribune, and Brian Pitzer.
Minutes:
Mayor Allen introduced the minutes from the Regular Scheduled Council Meeting held October 22, 2001. Caroline Rhodes moved for approval of the minutes and Robert Gray second. With no objections the minutes passed by 6-0 voice vote.
Public Participation:
Dave Hunt, Meadville Tribune asked if someone could explain to him about the coalition of SSHE schools and effort for state grant to pay host municipalities and if his information is correct.
Mayor Allen explained that in 1995 host municipalities were invited to Bloomsburg by the Mayors Council of Government (MCOG) to collectively discuss municipal over burden. It was discussed with the governor's staff, SSHE, and legislatures by the MCOG. They are not actively working on this and Pennsylvania League of Cities and Municipalities (PLCM) is now acting as coordinator for the host municipalities. PLCM has formed University Network where 7 or 8 SSHE school are members and host municipalities who are looking at related items that are not funded. House Bill presented by Eleanor Taylor years back address the overburdened but as far has we know it never got out of committee. MCOG is inactive.
Dave Hunt asked about the 250,000 of municipal monies he heard about. Mayor Allen stated the MCOG data that SSHE 1/10% of budget is 1.4Million formula gave each host municipalities $100,000 or equivalent to one full time professor salary. The PA Economy League was looking into a study to further host municipality view of impact on hosting. We want to make it clear that we are proud to host the school and it is an asset to the region but if is an economic impact on local government.
Manager McFadden sated that the 250,000 figure was close to that state level per capita of $50,000 year host. Proposal $5 each person floated from $5 to $10. He felt the 250,000 was different legislation that was still active as a Municipal Public Safety &

Service Tax (MPSST) which would be state wide enabling municipalities to repeal the $5 OPT tax which is matched by School District $5 and levy a MPSST up to $50 which would gain in house approximately $250,000. This is trying to recognize we are a mobile society. Mayor Allen added that it was not out of committee yet and they hoped it would be before Thanksgiving break.
OLD BUSINESS:
Mayor Allen stated that there was still one vacancy as alternate on the Environmental & Shade Tree Advisory Committee.
Developers agreement of Holmstrom property was tabled as well as the Scots Glen Subdivision request awaiting language from the Solicitor. It was noted that Dave Zamierowski, Code Enforcement Officer had contacted both developers and they were working together on both of these items.
Admissions/Amusement Tax. Manager McFadden stated the solicitor was working on other municipal ordinance to draft something for our purposes. This is work in progress and it was noted that EUP was not keen on this per President Pogue's letter. Manager McFadden stated that a recent editorial had saddened him using the word antipathy. Borough had explored fiscal situation with concerns that overlap the college and the municipality and he did not view it as antipathy. Quality of life issues and financing of the who borough including the college. Text to work with in 1998 and 1999 Mayors COG having SSHE host towns have an economic study by PA Economic Development with most but not all college refusing to participate in the study. So we are left looking on our own at the issues. Property tax base is 54% exempt which is loss on the annual basis of $300,000 which would be a lot of funds in context. University Community Network survey showed we are the highest tax exempt in the whole state system so we have a bigger problem then any other municipality. Manager McFadden explained that Borough tax exempt is higher then the City of Erie. We give services for good quality of life and only a few places we can go to. Mercantile tax on business is not allowed by law so the only thing left is admissions/amusement tax. Jean Davis stated that the tone of the letter received from President Pogue that he was totally not interested in helping the Borough. Caroline Rhodes stated Council needs to discuss comparisons and reasons for the definitive answer from the University. Caroline Rhodes motioned and Robert Gray second to move for the FY2002 that it was not the intention of the Council to levy an admissions/amusement tax. Jean Davis stated she was in favor for the motion since the tax would only generate approximately $60,000 and was only a small portion of the problem. They need to change with less police protection, less guarded beaches, reduced office & streets personnel which makes the Borough going in a different direction. Robert Gray stated that EUP was condemning the Borough in publicity. Jean Davis stated that they have more money to do that. George Finney stated we will have to

get rid of trucks and police. Caroline Rhodes stated that we should take one at a time essentially having the last word. We need to go through the PLCM Network for help. George Finney stated that the Borough needed to pursue something but it would cost us a lot of money. It costs a mill of taxes for Home Coming and we need to stop these expenses. Paul Snyder stated that Borough can not stop educating people that they need the university to work with us. The Borough can not just roll over, the evidence shows this is wrong. George Finney stated that President Pogue made the statement that before the college it was a small lake and few houses. Well it had low millage and low income taxes until the college came. Mayor Allen called for a vote on the motion. Motion passed by 5-0 with Mayor Allen abstaining because of possible conflict with the University. Jean Davis informed everyone that the University had a special mailing she received and wanted it noted that the Borough can not afford to send out mailings.
Caroline Rhodes reported that the Ordinance Review Committee was working on several items and would be working on the Public Indecency ordinance in the near future based on the Erie Model. It was agreed to poll the Council for a date to start on the review. It was agreed to advertise a meeting of the Council of the whole to review the public indecency ordinance November 14th at 6:30 p.m. and water & sewer rate schedule and Water ordinance changes to be read November 19, December 3, and action to be taken December 17th.
