HOME RULE BOROUGH OF EDINBORO

COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES

October 21, 2002

 

Call to Order:

Monday, October 21, 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: Robert Gray, H. Robert Cannell, Christopher A. Gillette, Mary Ann Horne, Paul Snyder, Jean Davis and Mayor Caroline Rhodes.  Also in attendance were E.R. McFadden, Borough Manager; Attorney Ritchie Marsh; and Marie Lander, Assistant to the Manager.  Guests present were Jon Foulkrod, Washington Township Council Liaison; JoAnn Hornaman and Kristie Radecki.  

 

Minutes:

Mayor Rhodes introduced the minutes from the regular Council meeting held October 7, 2002.   Mary Ann Horne moved for approval of the minutes and Jean Davis seconded. With no objections, the minutes were approved by voice vote of 5-0-2.  Paul Snyder and Robert Gray abstained because of their absence from the October 7th meeting.    

 

Participation:

JoAnn Hornaman, 4837 Summer Street, Erie owner of 122 Water Street handed out copies of her water bill.  They have no laundry, no dishwasher, no sprinkling of lawn unless she is present, and no car washing or in other words minimal use.  This is a third of normal use of a family of 4 using a standard connection of ¾” x 5/8”.  She explained they had one connection and one water meter and one sewer line and for two months used 5,000 gallons.  She understood the basic usage was $7.74 for 2,000 gallons and another $7.74 for the 2nd unit for 2,000 gallons and $2.25 for the 1,000 gallons after the minimum of 4,000 gallons while the sewer was $38.33 for 10,000 gallons and second unit was $38.33 giving her a total bill of $94.39.  An average EDU is 10,000 for sewer and she used only 5,000 gallons water so she was below normal.  Caroline Rhodes explained that the Council was familiar with this and 2 units and seven occupants are billed as 2 units minimum each unit no matter the number of occupants.  Ms. Hornaman stated that next door at 120 Water Street which was a smaller house then her’s paid $188.78 for 4 one-bedroom apartments.  She felt if they were increasing to make ends meet they need to do like business do and cut personnel, for example water meter reading not being needed with new water system.  Paul Snyder stated in fairness to users multi units and families pay for water, sewer, & refuse have to get billed the minimum for each unit to have equal cut of costs.  We made a minimum per unit on one bill saving landlords from having a plumber to replumb in for each unit a meter and the cost would come out to the same as if there were two meters in the building.  Jean Davis explained that her neighbor lives by herself and also pays the minimum of $7.74 and uses less water then others with 3-4 people and use the minimum it is just uniform and fairness to all.  Ms. Hornaman explained the size of pipe determines the use and higher usage brings in more funds.  She explained she called Erie and HUD and explained that you can’t charge tenant more than what charged for usage.  Mayor Rhodes stated that the bill had been reviewed by the Water & WWCT Superintendents and it was correct by the way Council had voted to set rates.  She thanked Ms. Hornaman for bringing her thoughts to Council.  Paul Snyder also stated that the minimum payment helps to cover plant maintenance and system large capital costs for service.  Mayor Rhodes stated she appreciated Ms. Hornaman coming and she would remember her when they set rates and that impact on people but there was no alternative at this time.  Jon Foulkrod made mention to Ms. Hornaman that he owned across the street and it was the same for everyone and he passed it on to his tenants.  Mr. Cannell stated that the Borough’s rates were 2nd lowest in the area. 

 

Being no further persons interested in speaking, Mayor Rhodes moved on to old business.

OLD BUSINESS:

            Committee Reports:

Finance Committee:  Chairman Mary Ann Horne, Jean Davis, Caroline Rhodes – Ms. Horne reported nothing to come before Council and reminded everyone of the Thursday 9 a.m. meeting to review the 3rd quarter and start on the budget for 2003.

            Ordinance Review Committee:  Chairman Jean Davis, Paul Snyder, H. Robert Cannell -  Jean Davis reported they met October 14 on the garbage ordinance and codification.  She discussed ordinance 506, which was up for the last reading tonight.  Discussion on section 20-6-4 dumpsters and amendment as presented.  Paul Snyder motioned and H. Robert Cannell seconded the acceptance of ordinance 506 with amendment to 20-6-4.  Discussion followed.  Paul Snyder stated the dumpster section is as it currently exists in ordinance 434 of April 3, 1989.  It is fair that all businesses must better the image of Edinboro and this section should remain in the ordinance.  Mr. Snyder stated he became aware that the minutes of this year was not available and he had concerns and would like to discuss further, later in the meeting.  Caroline Rhodes stated she wanted to speak against the wording.  Since 1980’s contractors have changed and they have trouble emptying them if screened.  It is more attractive but too restrictive and clearly unable to be done by some.  Christopher Gillette stated it was selective enforcement if make some do it and not others.  Mayor Rhodes agreed that many were up to specs and trash removal was essential but do not require 4 sided screening which not everyone could do.  Robert Gray stated that people would scatter stuff not being able to get into the fencing 6-foot high and tenants would all need keys.  Paul Snyder stated it doesn’t need to be locked.  Mary Ann Horne stated if not enough room you would go to the Zoning Hearing Board and get variance.  Manager McFadden stated it is not a zoning ordinance so it would be two alternatives if noted in ordinance to be at discretion of management and/or they could approach Council on each case.  If talking about it taking up parking area that you are required to have then it would be before the Zoning Hearing Board for variance on parking.  Christopher Gillette stated if you change the screening you need to also change section 20-4-5.  Residents and businesses that have already screened their dumpsters may be upset if others do not have to.  Mary Ann Horne felt it should be added to be discretion of management or Council.  Attorney Marsh stated it was police power to enforce as states.  It would be violation argument made and fines before the District Justice.  Dumpster can have screening and doors where ever they are and it can be enforced.  4-sides is the way it stands then that is what must be done.   Kristie Radecki, 411 Waterford St. Apt 103 manager for Lakeside Commons stated that they had some dumpsters 5 wide and it does have merit to screening but three sides best because of snow removal problems, fence door doesn’t work; Waste Management adds fee if driver has to get out of truck; and truck hitting gate or side.  Ms. Rajecki could see value of screening being appealing to neighbors with 4 sides but contractor costs more and more to maintain.         Role Call Vote on Ordinance 506 with amendment:  Mary Ann Horne, no; Paul Snyder, yes; Robert Gray, no; H. Robert Cannell, yes; Jean Davis, no; Christopher A. Gillette, yes; Mayor Rhodes, no.  Motion failed by 4-3 role call vote. 

 

Mayor Rhodes stated that next step was for Council of the Whole to review and bring back to Council if they wished.  Paul Snyder stated then the old ordinance is in place and it also says enclosed completely.  Robert Gray asked if they could find out the number of dumpsters screened because we enforced the ordinance.  Paul Snyder asked if this meant Mayor Rhodes wanted to keep with selective enforcement of Ordinances.  Mayor Rhodes stated not particular but we might make exceptions to this.  Jean Davis stated she voted against because she was not sure how to vote.  Dumpsters completely screened others 3 sided and ugly part is what you see and others have none.  Dr. Pogue made a statement the other day that he appreciated how we kept the community nice, which helps bring in student and people to the Borough.  Paul Snyder stated usually you come in by way of I79 and the first thing you see is Mill Street and after thousands of dollars fixing up one side we have unscreened dumpsters on the other.  By turning down this ordinance we are saying this is all right.  H. Robert Cannell stated, we can’t agree and the prior ordinance we can’t enforce.  We worked hard to bring it up to date.  Caroline Rhodes stated we inherited this town not planned and is unfair burden to pass this ordinance.  Paul Snyder stated that burden, dumpsters exist and trash bags are not legal by the old ordinance.  Christopher Gillette asked what law is affected.  Solicitor Marsh stated that if caught that just utilization should enforce equally.  A defense that did not screen because someone else didn’t screen his doesn’t work. 

            Paul Snyder asked about missing minutes of 1989 and 1990 and wondered on the requirement of keeping minutes.  Manager McFadden stated he would prepare a report on exactly what we have and do not have.  Discussion followed on possible copies at other locations to assure accessible when needed.  Manager McFadden stated this could be done.  Attorney Marsh stated he had contacted the DA’s office to see if the Feds had subpoenaed them and also if he had copies in his files.  Manager McFadden was instructed to take an inventory of minutes.  Manager McFadden stated they either were subpoenaed, or misplaced in some fashion, or removed deliberately.  Mr. Snyder stated he wanted to see how the original ordinance for dumpsters passed and what public comment and how people voted.

Personnel Committee:  Chairman H. Robert Cannell, Caroline Rhodes, Mary Ann Horne – met with department head and was going to put together the managers annual report.

            Recreation, Lake, Environment Committee:  Chairman Robert Gray, Mary Ann Horne, and Jean Davis – Robert Gray orally reported on docks, gabian wall work, and lake being down 6’ because of additional damage costing over $10,000 to repair the dam wing wall.  His committee would be discussing winter dock placement in the future, shoreline planting, and Manager McFadden would be discussing recycling materials with them.

            Public Safety Committee:  Chairman Paul Snyder, H. Robert Cannell, Chris Gillette – nothing to report.

Streets, Buildings, & Grounds Committee:  Chairman Chris Gillette, Robert Gray, Paul Snyder – nothing to report.

            Committee of the Whole – no report but it was noted the budget workshop of Oct 17 was cancelled for lack of available Council members and the next budget workshop would be Thursday 9 am October 24.
