Call to Order:

Monday, March 11, 2002, regularly scheduled meeting was called to order by Mayor Caroline Rhodes at 7:00 p.m. 

Roll Call: 

The following Council members were present: H. Robert Cannell, Jean Davis, Robert Gray, Christopher A. Gillette, Paul Snyder, Mary Ann Horne, and Mayor Caroline Rhodes.  Also in attendance were E.R. Buck McFadden and Marie Lander, Assistant to the Manager.         Guests who signed in where Joe Skalko, Tim Thompson, Mr & Mrs. Barry Plouse, Mr. & Mrs. Robert Christensen, Jennifer Gillette, Brent Sperry, Cheryl Cross, Sharyn Gillette, James Gillette, and Attorney John Munch.

Minutes:

Mayor Rhodes introduced the minutes from the regular council meeting held February 25, 2002.   Paul Snyder moved for approval of the minutes and H. Robert Cannell second. Discussion followed and Paul Snyder requested technical corrections.  With no objections, the minutes were approved by unanimous voice vote of 6-0-1. Mary Ann Horne abstained because she was absent from the February 25th meeting.

Public Participation:

             Tim Thompson, EUP Highland Games handed out 2002 Edinboro Highland Games & Scottish Festival schedules of events.  Particular note was taken that Friday night events, May 17th , would be downtown in Edinboro.  There will be food vendors on Short Street, Celtic Music Jam with seven (7) music acts from around the country performing; kilted mile run from Hobbs Lumber to Nature's Outlet; Pipe Band parade from Fire Hall to Nature's Outlet; and bonfire & calling of the Clans.  Michelle Curtze is working on the run and is trying to have the street closed down for the half hour for safety reasons.  She is contacting PennDOT on this matter.  Mayor Rhodes asked the Public Safety Committee to review this with the Manager and Ms. Curtze to make sure the detour works for the safety of residents and runners.

 

Attorney John Munch representing Sharyn and James Gillette spoke on alcohol license request.  Attorney Much stated he understood that the Mayor planned to hold a public hearing on the matter and he would keep his comments at this time to the two handouts he had.  One is a proposed resolution that maybe helpful to Council to adopt and approve the intermunicipal transfer of liquor license to the Gillette's.  The other was a copy of a news article in the Erie Times, Sunday March 10, 2002 "Chain reaction Independent restaurants fight constant

battle against franchises that gobble up business".   

   Mayor Rhodes stated that the PLCB rules have changed and this is the first one to be handled under the new rules.  Comments on the Gillette application and procedures maybe helpful at this time from Attorney Munch.  

Attorney John Munch went on to explain that his experience with the new law was that it made it easier to transfer licenses between municipalities.  The Gillette's have gotten a license from Don Publoes which they are asking approval of the Board to transfer into this municipality.  Per the statue the Board must approve unless it finds in doing so would adversely affect the four criteria:  welfare, health, peace, and moral of the municipality.

Mayor Rhodes thanked everyone for attending and stated that all could be heard on this subject March 25th during the 7:00p.m. Council Meeting.  Ms. Rhodes asked for a show of support in the audience for the Gillette's, six people plus the Gillette's where present.

 

Mrs. Robert Christensen, 102 & 102 1/2 Terrace Drive.  Question on new water meters, two installed one in an in-law apartment.  There has been leakage and were told it is pressure from hot water tank which is only set at 126 degrees.  They have water heater set to only heat at night and when hot water is drawn off  the pressure blows off.  It causes a gallon of water every 5 - 6 days and they were informed of obtaining expansion tanks costing another $120 each. They felt the pressure was not theirs but the Borough's fault.  Manager McFadden stated that Water Superintendent Butch Shafer and himself would call her tomorrow to discuss the problem.

 

             Being no further public participation, Mayor Rhodes moved on to old business.

OLD BUSINESS:

            Committee Reports:

Finance Committee:  Chairman Mary Ann Horne, Jean Davis, Caroline Rhodes - Chairman Mary Ann Horne reported that the committee meets every Monday with the Manager and Assistant to the Manager to review purchase orders.  This week they received February income and expense compared to budget and 2001.  It was agreed to meet quarterly as a Committee of the Whole to review comparisons.  Bob Cannell requested having a one page sheet (Balance Sheet) for Council.  It is fine the Committee has the big 92 page packet but I need a one page recap.  Mayor Rhodes requested Manager McFadden to work on this proposal.

Ordinance Review Committee:  Chairman Jean Davis, Paul Snyder, H. Robert Cannell -  Chairman Davis reported they met prior to Council meeting to work on garbage ordinance.  We will be scheduling a new meeting to continue on

the ordinance.  Code Enforcement Officer Dave Zamierowski was requested to get information together for next meeting.

Personnel Committee:  Chairman H. Robert Cannell, Caroline Rhodes, Mary Ann Horne - No report.

Recreation, Lake, Environment Committee:  Chairman Robert Gray, Mary Ann Horne, Jean Davis - Chairman Robert Gray reported that Tom Schruers has provided information about weed spraying in the packets and he motioned and Mary Ann Horne second to get the weed spraying underway as soon as possible.  Bob Cannell asked if this was done in the past.  Mayor Rhodes stated she had supported it in the past with clearer water for boating and swimming but she no long supports application of weed control and felt they should move toward a less chemical solution.  Robert Gray stated that they tried with mowing in the Lake, but it was discontinued.  Paul Snyder requested that the proposal be reviewed by the Recreation Committee to clarify the $550 to $1100 to spray.  Jean Davis stated she had several questions that maybe Lake Keeper should have input; spraying in June with swimmers and was this a problem; and where do they spray, a map would be nice.  Paul Snyder and Jean Davis motioned to table the spraying motion until after Recreation Committee met and went over these items.  Motion to table passed by 7-0 voice vote.

 Public Safety Committee:  Chairman Paul Snyder, H. Robert Cannell, Chris Gillette - Next meeting March 18th at 7:30 p.m. to discuss effect of Police on Safety and Budget of Borough. 

Streets, Buildings, & Grounds Committee:  Chairman Chris Gillette, Robert Gray, Paul Snyder - Committee to meet March 18th at 6:30 p.m.

            Committee of the Whole - Mayor Rhodes - Mayor Rhodes reported that they toured the facilities March 2nd and on March 9th reviewed the FY2001 audit with the Auditors.  Paul Snyder thanked management for the tour.  He felt it was very educational.

unanimously by voice vote 7-0.  Chris Gillette asked why John Alcorn had 5.25 hours overtime and no one else?  Paul Snyder asked that another column be added to Police spreadsheet showing what is reimbursed overtime by Task Force.  Manager would look into both items.

 

Emergency Management:

Manager McFadden explained that since 9/11 emphasis has been on emergency preparedness. It is better to have a coordinator in house under the current format of the plan.  It is the Manager's request that Public Works Director Thomas Schruers be recommended for the appointment of Local Emergency Management Coordinator for the Home Rule Borough of Edinboro.   H. Robert Cannell motioned and Christopher Gillette second the recommendation of Thomas Schruers as Local Emergency Management Coordinator for the Home Rule Borough of Edinboro.  With no objections the motion passed by 7-0 vote.

PUBLIC SAFETY:

                 Memo from Officer Spires requesting donation toward police plaques.  Mary Ann Horne motioned and Chris Gillette second the recommendation of Finance Committee not to fund police plaques because it was not in the budget and that private donations would better serve this project. Bob Cannell agreed to the recommendation of committee and Mayor Rhodes felt individuals may be willing to contribute.  The motion passed by 7-0 voice vote. 

                         

            Community Development/Project Coordination

                Recycling report to Erie County FY2001 was available for review.  Also available was CDBG FY2002 .  Jean Davis motioned and Mary Ann Horne second the adoption of Resolution 2-2002:

Community Liaisons:

Cable TV Liaison Bob Gray  reported that a group was interested in televising meetings and sporting events.  He would be discussing this with the General Manager of Coax to see if another channel was available for this or if we would need to use the current channel.

Authority Liaison Jean Davis reported the Authorities met prior to this meeting at 5 p.m.  In the Water Authority meeting Butch Shafer reported 421 meters of the 1500 meters where installed with 7% having leaks and half of those needing expansion tanks.  At the Municipal Authority meeting they discussion copper and changes with I & I work being done.  One example was 55,000 gallons a day for one sump pump discharging into the system.

Pension Liaison Paul Snyder requested executive session or committee of the whole to discuss management contract request on pensions. Also need to recommend and discuss investment policy for adoption.  It was agreed to meet at 6pm prior to Council meeting on March 25th.

Erie County Borough Association Liaison Bob Cannell was asked to deliver to the High School scholarship applications received by Mayor Rhodes.

Town-Gown LCB issues - Mary Ann Horne liaison asked if she should contact the Community Service portion of EUP to see about help in several areas.  It was agreed that she should get more specifics after talking to the manager on what to request service for.  Discussion brought up options of newsletters format, web pages, etc.

 

Other Old Business:

Bob Cannell reported he attended new council member training on two Saturdays.  He had much to present to Council but one was that of the 21 present 17 had department heads report orally.  It was noted that the Council had written reports monthly and orally as the need arose.  The department heads did attend respective Council Committee meetings on off Mondays.  Mr. Cannell asked what about the Fire Chief, does he give a report?  Mayor Rhodes felt department heads where instrumental in the budget process and they attended all those meetings.  With the Manager present at Council Meetings he is their boss and Council sets the policy and Manager McFadden and his staff carry out the policy.  If we need answers we ask the manager and if we need more information he will get it for us or summon the staff that is needed to help.

 

Council Goals:  Mayor Rhodes asked if there was any additional goals or anything in question.  Jean Davis stated that one goal was to stop out migration.  The report from Erie Metropatterns Study is very helpful.  We are not alone in this problem.  Discussion followed on Map 5 of Erie Region and the decline in

population associated with EUP South East quadrant of the Borough.  Mayor Rhodes stated that it all ties back to a fiscal plan.  Manager McFadden stated the Public Safety Committee was meeting to discuss police; while if you wanted to make 1% EIT to match the Township you would loose $400,000 income and if the 26 mills of real estate taxes was 11 miles or 15 mills less this would be $144,000 lose of income for a total of $544,000.  To consider this you would have to consider no police and no streetlights. Water and Sewer rates agree to service and it has been noted that they are not high rates.

 

Jean Davis mentioned that regarding communications the phone message has improved.  Each Council member is a liaison and the Finance Committee is reviewing all purchase orders.

 

Bob Cannell asked about 5 - 10 year strategic Plan.  Manager McFadden explained that the Home Rule Borough of Edinboro had a Comprehensive Plan which may be what he was looking for.  Mr. Cannell asked if we had a committee of real estate people, business, borough, and college to review and development what would like to see in regards to playgrounds, downtown, goals, finance, etc.  Jean Davis also explained we have a replacement schedule for vehicles but they are unfunded.    Mr. Cannell stated we need vision.  Jean Davis stated that Dave Zamierowski was working with the Township to get together and work on new joint comprehensive plan, which would include parks and vehicles.  Mr. Cannell asked if a retirement town was what Council wanted?  Manager McFadden explained that PA MainStreet PA came in and talked to property owners, business owners, and Council a few years ago. To have a staff member in charge of this kind of marketing would cost $50,000 to $60,000, which we do not have.  Maybe we can find a way to sustain the effort with college professors and students.  There is a MainStreet & Marketing class coming up in Meadville and the Manager will get this information out to all who are interested in attending. 

 

Paul Snyder asked to add a goal.  To have on November ballot Consolidation/Merger study between Township & Borough.  Proposal would be to consolidate, merger, or annexation.  Paul Snyder rephrased goals to have study commission to consider consolidation and/or merger.  Discussion followed on Mayor drafting letter to the Township. 

Mr. Cannell reported that the solicitor should be getting a letter shortly from the Township solicitor on proposal on sewer issue.  Mayor felt that the sewer issue should be finished before beginning a new study.

 

Schedule for Council meetings:  Paul Snyder requested that the Mayor meet with Christopher Gillette to discuss new format for agenda.

Communications:

            Correspondence received was Edinboro Area Chamber of Commerce "The Inquirer"; Erie Metropatterns Study; Letter to EUP on Mini-bus service; DCED notice of Northwest Region meeting April 22nd; and EUP Senate handbook were all received for Council's review.

NEW BUSINESS:

Paul Snyder requested that the sample resolution given out by Attorney Munch be made into a formal resolution for next meeting.  It also should be advertised to discuss the liquor license.

 

Christopher Gillette stated he would like to see in the future both pro's and con's for every action to be taken in the packet.  He would like to take an objective view and needs both sides of the item on the table.  Manager McFadden stated when a municipality has a role to perform per statute a variety individuals or business or properties impact government procedures to apply applicants as government provide role.  Municipality approve applications for liquor licenses unless some or all of the four items in the article on State College is found, this is  a procedure.  If this case is our procedure, do you take what an Attorney of applicant gives us for Resolution and approve it or do we have our own procedure to follow on any applicant, such as this State College procedure?  Mary Ann Horne agreed that it was State College procedure that should be followed.  Chris Gillette felt both sides of all issues need to be heard.  Mayor Rhodes again stated it is not a side it is a procedure.

 

Adjournment:

            With no further business Mayor Rhodes asked for adjournment.  Mary Ann Horne motioned for adjournment, and with no objections it was unanimously approved by 6-0 voice vote at 9:35 p.m.
