HOME RULE BOROUGH OF EDINBORO COUNCIL MEETING
July 22, 2002
Call to Order:
The following Council members were present: Robert Gray, H. Robert Cannell, Christopher A. Gillette, Paul Snyder, Mary Ann Horne, Jean Davis, and Mayor Caroline Rhodes. Also in attendance were E.R. McFadden, Borough Manager; Attorney Ritchie Marsh; Dave Zamierowski, Code Enforcement Officer; and Marie Lander, Assistant to the Manager. Guests present were Chief Jeff Craft, Officer Senz, Kristie Radecki, and Billie Fitzsimmons.
Mayor Rhodes introduced the minutes from the regular Council meeting held July 8, 2002. Paul Snyder moved for approval of the minutes and H. Robert Cannell seconded. With no objections, the minutes were approved by voice vote of 6-0-1. Mary Ann Horne abstained because of her absence from July 8th meeting.
Mayor Rhodes introduced the hearing as being duly advertised and notices were also sent to neighbors. Hearing is to consider modifying (PRD) Planned Residential Development side yard requirements for the Scots Glen Subdivision. Council must find that said action is consistent with the efficient development and preservation of the entire planned residential development; does not adversely affect either the enjoyment of land abutting upon or across the street from the planned residential development or the public interest; and is not granted solely to confer a special benefit upon any person. Mayor Rhodes introduced Dave Zamierowski, Code Enforcement Officer who would be explaining the developer’s request. Caroline Rhodes asked Council to read the first paragraph of the Resolution regarding modifying PRD. Mr. Zamierowski stated that we have a good plan with much of it out of the Pennsylvania Municipal Planning Code.
The Code Enforcement Official, Dave Zamierowski, explained that a PRD must be developed in an R-2 Zoning District. In an R-2 Zoning District the side yard set back is ten (10) feet. Therefore, the request to include this ten (10) foot set back in the ScotsGlen PRD is not a unique request. The ten (10) foot side yard requirement will benefit the entire subdivision by allowing the customary two-story, 1800 square foot plus home to be constructed, also allowing for a two car garage to be included. Also mentioned was the fact that the developer made ample lots, making the subdivision very attractive. The required frontage in the R-2 district is seventy-five (75) feet. The PRD does not use a frontage restriction; however, the developer still made a good size lot. The developer realized that the one-story ranch type home was not very marketable compared to the two-story larger home. Mr. Zamierowski also mentioned that there was an irrevocable bond on the remaining improvements, which guarantees all remaining work to be completed. There were no residents present at the hearing, and, after considerable advertisement, one assumes that there are no objections to this modification, which will apply to the ScotsGlen Subdivision only. This resolution and amendment will only apply to the ScotsGlen Subdivision Phase I and Phase II.
Robert Gray asked if the ten (10) foot minimum was on each side, thereby creating a twenty (20) foot minimum between houses. Mr. Zamierowski confirmed with a yes answer.
Paul Snyder motioned to accept Resolution 10-2002 as follows:

Bath house designs where reviewed and will be refined for committee review prior to timely recommendations to Council for approval.
Also brought to the attention of Council was a request to release the maintenance bond which has been in place for eighteen (18) months, which guaranteed the satisfactory operations of the sanitary sewer system and the potable water system installed within the subdivision. Mr. Gillette informed Council that Mr. Zamierowski, Code Enforcement Officer, presented pictures of work in progress and all documentation attesting that pressure tests were completed with satisfactory results. With the evidence presented by Mr. Zamierowski the Committee unanimously recommended approval of the release of the maintenance bond on the sanitary sewer system and potable water system within the ScotsGlen Subdivision Phase I. It was noted that the Water and Municipal authorities have accepted these additions and extensions at their July 8th meeting.

With no objections the resolutions passed by 7-0 voice vote.
Committee of the Whole – Jean Davis motioned and Christopher Gillette seconded to remove the motion tabled last meeting regarding accepting K9 unit subject to receipt of $6,000 from Community Revitalization Grant and $8,000 from the Office of the District Attorney for the County of Erie. The motion passed by 6-1 voice vote with H. Robert Cannell objecting. Discussion followed on the K9 unit.
Paul Snyder asked if another police unit was necessary or additional costs. Manager McFadden confirmed that the jeep would be used for the vehicle so no
additional unit was necessary for the K9 and donations of dog food and veterinary services have been confirmed. Chief Craft has also confirmed that the District Attorney will provide the $8,000 of the $14,000 needed for the K9 training and conversion of jeep. Mr. Snyder asked if while Officer Senz was at training would we need over time. Chief Craft stated scheduling while at training would be redone without over time as long as no one was out sick. Coverage has been agreed upon by officers in the unit while Officer Senz is at training.
H. Robert Cannell asked if during training only 8 officers are needed for the 6 weeks. Chief Craft stated that the officers agreed to do what needs to be done to cover while the training goes on. Mr. Cannell asked if they had figures on Corry’s expense for a K9 unit for the year? Manager McFadden stated no, but we operate differently then some police forces and our members have an agreement and collective bargaining is mute here. Mr. Cannell asked about K9 in Erie. Chief Craft stated costs of food stores are committed and vet care is agreed upon by local veterinary and private accountant also has committed to donate toward dog for Borough. Yes they may not donate for the life of the dog but the Borough is getting a lot for very little. Mr. Cannell asked if we really need a K9. Chief Craft stated we don’t need anything but it is benefit to the Borough. We do more work per capital (police officer) then any other community in Erie County. Mr. Cannell felt they should wait until after Wednesday’s budget meeting to decide on the K9.
Paul Snyder asked about insurance. Manager McFadden stated that no increase in liability insurance and he didn’t ask about life insurance on the dog since we have no capital invested in it. Paul Snyder mentioned that Corry had $700 life insurance policy on their dog.
Mayor Rhodes passed the gavel to Paul Snyder as she gave her opposition to the K9 unit. She felt it was not appropriate and the cost over the years as her two reasons for opposition. Dogs are aggressive and she felt the borough had no fleeing felons for a long time. Regarding major crowd control she felt taking rowdy parties and adding a dog into the mix brings fear. Policing officers can speak and defuse rather than show force with an aggressive dog. People fear dogs and this is an additional weapon against them. We have K9 near by and we have never called for one, that she was aware of. Chief Craft informed her that they have used K9 in the Borough 4 to 5 times a year. Just recently a felon on Darrow Road was apprehended. Regarding crowd control when out at night, she had no idea how it is, they don’t just stop and listen to the officers. You can also stop at the office and see all the guns in the evidence room. Chief told Council, “you only see the crime rate and reports and not all the facts, but you are welcome to come over to the office and talk to me anytime.” Caroline Rhodes voiced her concern of budgetary reasons with vehicle not paid for yet and eventually needs to be replaced.
Jean Davis stated she was proud of the Police officers over the past years. In another locality police shot and killed a woman on a beach who had a gun. Our officers do not shoot people even when they are threatened by guns. They also deal with other crimes and we don’t publicize the bad times but they see them. Aggressive dog, no, I don’t think it was an aggressive dog but a well-trained dog. It even came up to us and let us pet it, which gives some people a warm fuzzy feeling. Mrs. Davis stated she was in favor of a K-9 unit.
Robert Gray stated he also was in favor. He felt Council members should get a scanner and listen at night what really goes on in town. A few years ago we had problems on campus and they brought it over to Ramada Inn and if we had a K-9 unit it would be a great asset to the borough.
Paul Snyder asked when the K9 unit would be available for use if the motion passed tonight. Chief Craft stated training starts in September and it is 6 weeks that would bring it close to Homecoming October 12th.
Mary Ann Horne stated college students could be a rowdy bunch. You can’t get their attention to listen, no matter what your skills, when they have a couple kegs gone; she felt a dog would be more effective.
Motion on the floor “Robert Gray motioned to accept K-9 and Jean Davis seconded.” Mayor Rhodes called for a role call vote: Mary Ann Horne, yes; Paul Snyder, yes; Robert Gray, yes; H. Robert Cannell, no; Jean Davis, yes; Christopher A. Gillette, yes; Mayor Caroline Rhodes, no. Motion passed 5-2.
Mayor Rhodes welcomed Billie Fitzsimmons who arrived at 8 p.m. and informed her she was appointed earlier in the evening to the vacancy on the Planning & Zoning Commission.
Solicitor Marsh stated that brief was due on Friday and a packet of approximately 85 pages was given to the Manager and Engineer to review. They would all meet tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. to put the final touches on the brief.
Mayor Rhodes moved on to Manager’s report.

MANAGER:
Manager McFadden reported that he was still searching for a replacement for Boetger Associates; a letter went out to Inge Mossa, Heather Dunkle, and Melinda Murphy; and grant Washington Township received for water testing is not available to us at this point in time but when we are at that point we will apply. Also Manager McFadden requested Solicitor Marsh to review and give his opinion on a draft ordinance and draft bylaws for an Edinboro Regional Planning Commission being proposed by Washington Township.
Mayor Rhodes introduced the bills for payment. Paul Snyder asked about the check in the Earned Income Tax Fund, which Manager McFadden explained was claims against the FY2000 non resident funds. Jean Davis moved approval of the submitted bills totaling $ 284,861.92 dated July 22, 2002 and Mary Ann Horne seconded. With no objections it passed by 7-0 voice vote.
Mayor Rhodes proceeded in acceptance of the payroll as submitted for the period ending July 6, 2002 and paid July 12, 2002 totaling $50,062.70. Jean Davis motioned approval of the payroll and Mary Ann Horne seconded. The motion approving the payroll, overtime reports, and supplemental time sheets passed unanimously by voice vote 7-0.
Monthly financial report was available for review. Mayor Rhodes remind Council of Wednesday, July 24th 6:30 p.m. meeting for 2nd quarter review of financials. H. Robert Cannell asked Manager McFadden about grant writing and if there was any specific lists of grants available to municipalities. Manager McFadden stated there is books on federal and state grants. He reported John Marchese, Vicki Chesley, and himself had attended several DCNR meetings on grants over the past several years. Most grants ask for matching funds, which is not clear we have. Mr. Cannell asked why a recreation grant from Walmart for $500 was denied by Borough. Manager McFadden asked which employee or Council member turned down the grant? Mr. Cannell stated it was a woman in the office and he was to furnish the name to the Manager to check into this further. Paul Snyder asked that fund names be placed in the heading along with the fund numbers on the monthly financial report.
