Mayor Rhodes introduced the minutes from the regular Council meeting held November 24, 2003. Jean Davis moved for approval of the minutes and Mary Ann Horne seconded. The minutes were approved by a voice vote of 4-0-1 with H. Robert Cannell abstaining.
Mayor Caroline Rhodes welcomed visitors and asked if anyone was interested in speaking to Council.
Jim McEldowney, 113 Madeline Drive. As a resident and not as a YMCA representative he stated he was angry with the November 24th Council decision to appeal again the EHB decision. He had several questions. First was how much money was spent on this matter from the Task Force 537 until and including the EHB appeal? Manager McFadden stated that they could possibly research this information. Second he asked how much more will it cost to go through this process again. Manager McFadden explained it was no charge against taxes the finances here are by the GASB standards and sewage operations and capital funded by sewer fees and not real estate or EIT tax monies. Third he asked what the Borough Council expects to gain from the appeal. Manager McFadden stated that the Meadville DEP 5/9/2000 order made particular allegations that particular portion of our convenience system was hydraulically overloaded. Mr. McEldowney stated he read the order and allegations on Maple Drive subsystem being hydraulically overloaded. Manager McFadden stated that the problem is that it isn’t and wasn’t hydraulically overloaded. The way that you deal with hydraulically overload is with flow data. What about people having backups in houses on Maple Drive? Manager McFadden stated that flow monitoring throughout the system for several years. Data reviewed by our engineer shows that the system is not hydraulically overloaded. If we do corrective action plan would be telling them we will do flow monitoring which we have been doing for three years and it indicates we are not hydraulically overloaded. DEP would like us to begin plan to finance additional capacity and if we don’t need it why should be do it. Mr. McEldowney stated that local businesses want to tie in and they can’t. Mr. McFadden asked if he was referring to the Orr Brothers development. Yes. Manager McFadden explained there was three aspects the commercial part on 6N, townhouse development in the borough; and townhouses in Washington Township. They could tie into the Borough tomorrow as far as we are concerned before May 9th for most of the project but since mid 2000 whole thing has three problems. One is they don’t have approvable site plan which in 1999 or 2000 they sat down with us and engineer and we personally listed shortcomings of the site plan to their sub division and storm-water, etc. They have never come back with a corrected site plan for approval since then. Second Washington Township hasn’t entered into an agreement with the Borough to allow their residents connect to our system and the Township has not said if they can provide for the Orr’s. Third the DEP has said no one can tie in to Maple Drive. It is disturbing when DEP cavalierly in Manager McFadden’s opinion to categorize three years of data as lab experiment. We have three years of flow monitoring of the whole system and the engineer continues to state that the conveyance is not hydraulically overloaded per the definition of chapter 94. Meadville DEP in 1998-1999 told us we should project organic and hydraulic overload in our plant. First our people (operators, engineers, Schrieber) calculated and demonstrated that they could be rerated in legitimate fashion and DEP did agree to the rerating. Second, five years later the plant is running at 75% rated capacity and is not overloaded. If we had listed to them residents would be paying for a plan, design, and construction we don’t need for the Borough. The calculation included for build out of the Borough which is also well within our existing capacity. There were wrong on needing to project and plan for expansion. We have an additional 25% for build out in the Borough. DEP has dropped the projected hydraulically overloaded and organic overloaded respect to the plant. If the same people are doing the calculations on the plant and the conveyance that we are not overloaded, why wouldn’t we agree and appeal. Mayor Rhodes stated Council was watching closely and in executive session discussed and at our November 24th meeting decided to go ahead with the appeal. The Authority has also voted tonight at their meeting to also go ahead with the appeal. Robert Gary stated the final report showed sewer backups they don’t make sense in regard to conveyance hydraulic overload. For example a home on a hill had a backup and the houses down the hill from it didn’t. It was hydraulically overloaded the houses below would of backed up first. Mr. McEldowney again asked what Council was seeking to gain going to the commonwealth court? Solicitor Ritchie Marsh stated first Edinboro Lake is important and by getting sewage below the Lake from Washington Township is concern which the Borough, Township, and DEP agree that the concern is to get sewage below the Lake. Second the only way township can really afford is to have the borough residents pay for it. If DEP makes our residents build a bigger plant that is not needed for the Borough they who is it for? The borough system is almost paid in full and will be paid off in 2007. This will free up over 380,000 a year that will not e for the bond issues and maybe then it could afford to build for the township but the plant is ¾ at capacity. They state the conveyance is not adequate but flow monitoring shows it is. DEP has totally disregarded the flow data. Yes there were backups with the 100 year flood and 100 year rain in 2000 and 2001. The whole borough was under water and a diaper was off a manhole because of cleaning the week before on lakeside and the lake drained into the system. We admit to this mistake but not to being hydraulically overloaded. The questions is why is DEP doing this to us and it seems fairly obvious. Mr. McEldowney asked if the plant is paid off in 2007 and if the township wants to grow, why not take on the township. Mayor Caroline Rhodes stated Council signed a document in December 2001 and the Township didn’t sign it. Attorney Marsh stated the agreement was worked out by Township Solicitor, Township Engineer, Sewer Authority and Department of Township, Borough Solicitor, Borough Engineer, Borough Sewer Department, and Managers and then recommended to Council’s. The Borough council approved but to this date the Township never signed it. Manager McFadden stated that before the order during the task force meetings the township proposed expanding their plant and discharging below the lake. The borough agreed as long as they sized correctly for DEP 40 year build out and located discharge where we didn’t have effluent monitoring. DEP never said yes, no, or maybe what the township but forth and the Borough agreed to. In 2001 while appealing the order we none the less met with Washington Township. The township entered into a second consent order in agreement was by which Washington Township continued get EDU’s, they meet with us even though we appealed, and we also met with them. In December 2001 the Council and Municipal Authority of the Borough executed an agreement and Manager McFadden personally delivered it to David Anthony, Manager of Washington Township. The agreement had Washington Township paying capital costs on any additional capacity to service the township with the facilities in the Borough being owned by the borough and those in the township owned by the township. Operation and maintain treatment facilities in borough at a cost plus 10% basis for the township. That agreement included within it 5 year horizon to have discharge into Whipple Creek stopped and into the Lake from the Washington Township Sewer Plant and to turn the plant into a pump station to the borough wastewater plant. We agreed to help address this issue in a business like manner. The Borough has agreed to the townships plan to discharge below the lake but DEP did not agree and the Borough ahs agreed to the joint project as described in the signed agreement which the Township did not sign but seemed to be the direction the DEP would like. The township has never approached the Borough since 1998 about our tax base challenge of 45% tax exempt and 2% EIT. Mr. McEldowney stated that ruling was more to do with the Borough and Township working together and the Borough Council doesn’t want to admit the problem. Manager McFadden stated there is no problem we are not hydraulically overloaded. Jean Davis stated DEP is trying to tell us what to do and she is looking out for the Borough rate payers to build a sewer plant for the township and pay for it is wrong. We have best system and infrastructure and worth spending on lawsuit not to have residents pay for township expansion. EHA is arm of DEP and we will be appealing to the court of common pleas. Jim McEldowney stated township capital investment the way to go and resident just don’t agree to the process. The Council should force the issue with the Township and come to an agreement of some point not other than appeal the DEP who only wants us to work together. Mayor Rhodes stated the door was never closed to cooperation with the Township.
Tracy Halmi, 112 Sunset Drive. You have been repetitive and did not address questions. Why Orr not approved and went to DEP. You are saying their original site plan filed here was not approved and you were waiting for site plan which you never got. Manager McFadden stated prior to 5/9 the Borough sent letters to the Orr Brothers and their attorney indicating they could tie in that portion that was in the Borough. The second thing was that the plans are different one plan with townhouse 40 units part in borough and part in township which was not complete and we have seen nothing on the commercial site. Another development is 200-400 acres on Sherrod Hill Road in the Township. Gravity flow but whether they approached the Township to connect to their plant we do not know but informally they want sewage and water and choice conveyance to expanded Washington Township Plant. Jean Davis again stated that the Council signed the agreement but Washington Township did not sign it. Tracy Halmi asked when you appealed the first time the EHB didn’t believe the data how would you think the Commonwealth would. Do you have supportive data from another engineer? You could make agreement with Township. If independent engineer agrees then it wouldn’t be waste of funds to appeal. She didn’t want to pay for township expansion but was here to support Jim McEldowney. Mayor Rhodes stated they were doing their best..
Mr. McEldowney pointed out that Mr. Snyder, Mr. Gray and Ms. Rhodes would be leaving office and why did they vote on November 24th to appeal and not wait until new board in place. Mayor Rhodes stated that their was a 30 day limit to file an appeal and this Council is familiar with the issue and better to make the decision. Manager McFadden stated the ruling was posed on November 14th afternoon and thirty days is December 14th to appeal.
H. Robert Cannell stated that DEP is next to God in his opinion. The DEP is trying to combine the Borough and the Township at any cost. No way can we beat DEP and he stated his concern that the state commonwealth court won’t overrule the decision that took 15 months by the EHB. Mr. Cannel went on to say that DEP is difficult to get along with when their goal is to combine the townships and boroughs in the commonwealth.
Mayor Caroline Rhodes wanted to make the audience aware that each municipality had a liaison at each others meetings and that they both care about solving issues. She welcomed comments and ideas even though it is complex issue we do communicate. Jon Foulkrod, Washington Township was present and stated there are two sides to every story. Anyone could call him or come to a Township meeting and he would share the other side of the story. Yes a deal is on the table but there are specific reasons not to agree with the deal. He again stated people should call him or come to a township meeting.
John Weibert, 202 Sherrod Hill Road. He agreed to residents present and felt that the Borough needed to get on with it.
Greg Lucas, 100 Sherrod Hill Rd. He stated he was for combining the Township and the Borough. It was noted he was Council elect for 2004.
Robert Gray stated that the Council proposed this to the Township and they disagreed. We had Fairview representatives come and discuss mergers and consolidations. Jean Davis stated we wanted a study commission to do a study to see if it was feasible for the Borough or the Township or not. We were going to use the PA Economy League to do the study. Manager McFadden stated that in 1999-2000 we sent a written outline of the concept of a study commission on mergers and consolidations. In 20002-2003 Council and Township met here and at the Township as requested by the Township to discuss matters. Township Council members agreed to have St. Mary’s and Fairview people come and talk. But after the meeting with Fairview people Township stated they didn’t want to meet again with St. Mary’s who were ready and delighted to come and discuss this with us at a dinner meeting.
Jim McEldowney, 103 Maple Dr. He stated he could see the resentment in both Councils and felt they should work through the issues for the better of the community. Jean Davis stated again that she and Council needs to protect the Borough Residents. The Township wanted a joint authority where we would sell our Authority and they sell theirs and all go into debt for new joint authority. We didn’t feel this is what our Borough needed or wanted. Mayor Rhodes stated we have already value in our infrastructure which is existing and we are protecting our tax payers. Robert Gray stated township wants our assets while we would be only represented as a minority on a joint authority board. John Foulkrod stated this is not true. We proposed joint authority as a conceptually only and haven’t work out the financing. Financing would be worked out later. Manager McFadden stated that the Borough had looked at the financing and it did not work for the Borough. Mayor Rhodes stated that the records of proposals, etc are all facts and easily checked.
Manager McFadden wanted the public to know that a Joint Planning Commission was formed with Washington Township, Franklin Township, and the Borough. It is financed partly by PA Economic Grant and meets the second Wednesday of each month at Washington Township Building and all are welcome to the public meetings. Part of the grant is the mandatory research on the issue of municipal services and infrastructures to be addressed. The commission just organized and will be prepared to deal with substantive issues in 2004.
