HOME RULE BOROUGH OF EDINBORO
COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
March 8, 2004
Call to Order:
The following Council members were present: Bob Cogan, Mary Ann Horne, Clifford Allen, Mayor H. Robert Cannell and Jean Davis. Members absent were Greg Lucas and Christopher Gillette. Also in attendance were Ritchie Marsh, Solicitor; E.R. McFadden, Borough Manager; and Marie Lander, Assistant to the Manager. Guests present were Matt Spencer, Natalie Bonavita, Kristin Webber, Leah Flumes, Katie Wooliscroft, Corbin Fowler, Charles B. Austin II, Bill Kearns, Jennifer Gibbs, Reid McFarland, Tracy Halmi, Greg Lessig, Debra Mowles-Caskey, Jesse Mowles-Aring, Shanon Kulinski, Leanne Etzel, Attorney AnnDrea Benson, Courtney Shewak, and Jon Foulkrod.
Mayor Cannell introduced the minutes from the Regular Council meeting held February 23, 2004. Bob Cogan moved for approval of the minutes and Mary Ann Horne seconded. The minutes were approved by a voice vote of 5-0.
Mayor Cannell asked Gregory Lessig to come forward to be honored for his dedication and service to the Borough from 1980 – 2004 on Council, Water Authority and Municipal Authority. Greg was presented with a framed drawing of the Borough Building. Greg thanked Council and wanted to acknowledge other members of the Authority, Dan McLaughlin and Sam Austin, who were present, for their hard work and their dedication to the community.
Attorney AnnDrea Benson asked to speak on conflict of interest regarding investigation by Police, complaints, and how they are handled. She explained that she wanted to publicly inform Council of a conflict issue. Her client would be appearing before District Justice Stuck-Lewis. Her client had filed complaint with the Borough regarding police use of force and requested they look at the police force policy. The review process first went through the Chief of Police. She informed Council that the Police Chief and the District Justice were in a love relationship. Her client would be appearing in front of the Justice, so she was here in front of elected officials who hire and administer the police force to raise the issue. She felt the code of conduct should have raised red flags to look into policies and come up with a better solution so residents do not feel there is conflict when they go before the District Justice.
Solicitor Marsh stated he didn’t understand what Attorney Benson wanted.
Attorney Benson restated it was a question on the Chief of Police and the District Justice and the fact of their relationship with regard to the issue of police force and the charges pending against her client. The Chief is the administrator of the police and the Judicial branch oversees what happens. Their personal love relations have an impact on the Chief’s being responsible for policies, etc and the District Justice being responsible for judicial code responsibilities.
Attorney Marsh stated that Attorney Benson should bring these issues to the District Justice and request that she recuse herself. Council has no say over the District Justice. It should be brought up in the judiciary system if there is a conflict issue. Attorney Benson stated that others going before the District Justice would not be aware of the situation, and she wanted to make others aware publicly of the situation. She also felt that police policies should be a concern of elected officials.
Bob Cogan stated there is separation of powers and perhaps the legislative branch, maybe the Public Safety Committee and the Manager should look into it. He stated he had a number of motions to improve this, which he would discuss later in the meeting. Attorney Marsh stated it seemed to him that the issue Attorney Benson raised should be assigned to the Solicitor.
Attorney Benson stated she talked to President Judge Cunningham’s office and they refused to do anything and told her to come to the Borough.
Solicitor Marsh stated that Borough has been apprised of this situation.
Again Attorney Benson stated that every time someone goes before the District Justice with the Edinboro Police, he/she would have to ask the District Justice to recuse herself.
Attorney Marsh stated again that the Borough has nothing to do with the judicial system.
Manager McFadden added that the Police Chief is a member of the Police Department hired by the Borough Manager under the advice and consent of Council.
Attorney Marsh again asked what Attorney Benson wanted Council to do, not allow the Chief to date?
She stated she only wanted to bring it to their attention.
Mayor Cannell motioned to turn the question of conflict of interest over to Solicitor Marsh and the Public Safety Committee of Council to review and get back to Council. This was seconded by Jean Davis and passed by 5-0 voice vote.
Bob Cogan moved to instruct the Solicitor to write to the Chief Justice that we have been apprised of this possible conflict. Motion died for lack of a second.
Corbin Fowler, Township resident. He thought it was clear the Police Chief was hired by the Borough and thought it was a bad idea to allow him have a close intimate relationship with the District Justice.
With no other persons requesting time to speak, the Mayor moved on to old business.
Committee Reports:
Finance Committee: Mary Ann Horne reported that they met earlier tonight to review invoices and purchase orders. She informed Council that the Council of the Whole would meet with the Auditors on Monday March 15th at 6:30 P.M. to go over the 2003 audit. They would meet March 22 at 6:00 P.M. to review the February to-date reports.
Ordinance Review Committee: Jean Davis reported they had not met since the last Council meeting because she was out of town.
Recreation/Lake/Environment Committee: Clifford Allen stated that their committee would review the YMCA contract and get back to the YMCA.
Public Safety Committee: Christopher Gillette was out of town but the next meeting was announced for March 24th at 6:30 P.M. to discuss Senate Bill 80, the conflict of interest issue brought up tonight, a police study of Mill Street, the placement of ice rescue poles and the directions that should be placed on the Borough website regarding the poles.
Bob Cogan stated, in reference to Senate Bill 80 under Public Safety Committee, he wished to make a motion. Bob Cogan moved to have Council instruct the Manager to prepare a proposed Police Compliant/Commendation form which is to contain blanks for any civilian who has contact with one of our officers to provide information on date, time, place of contact, and statement of complaint or commendation. The motion failed for lack of a second.
Clifford Allen informed Mr. Cogan that was the purpose of the Council Committees to meet and discuss such information prior to any action by Council.
Bob Cogan moved that the Council charge its Public Safety Committee, with advice from the Manager, Solicitor, and Police Union Solicitor, if necessary, to propose a process for review of complaints and or commendations and proposed actions of the Manager in response thereto. The motion failed for lack of a second.
Again Mayor Cannell stated the Public Safety Committee would meet to discus the information received tonight and the Senate Bill 80. Mr. Cogan stated these motions were for protection. Mayor Cannell again stated the place to discuss was in committee.
Bob Cogan moved that the Public Safety Committee, with assistance of the Manager and Solicitor, be charged to investigate creating a mutual aid agreement between Borough of Edinboro and Edinboro University Campus police. The motion failed for lack of a second.
Mayor Cannell stated this was discussed at a University Network meeting on HB80 a while ago. Manager McFadden stated that the information was presented to Council and it was to be sent to the Public Safety Committee for draft before we contacted EUP regarding this.
Bob Cogan asked to express his opinion that some town/gown policing problems might be better handled if the bar closing patrol was carried out by a team of one Borough officer and one Campus officer.
Streets, Buildings, & Grounds Committee: Christopher Gillette was out of town but the next meeting was scheduled for March 24th at 7:15 P.M. to discuss the proposed bathhouse and municipal building renovations.
Committee of the Whole:
Solicitor Marsh reported that he met with Council and the Municipal Authority at 6:00 PM tonight in executive session to discuss EHB Docket No. 2000-125-R and conceptual agreement with Washington Township.
Solicitor Marsh reported the Brief for Petitioners was filed March 5, 2004 for petition for review from the Adjudication and Order dated November 14, 2003, form the EHB at EHB Docket No. 2000-125-R. He would get a copy to Manager McFadden tomorrow.
He reported that the Indecency Ordinance had been received but he had not looked at it yet. He also reported nothing new on City of Erie suit since he had been working on the Appeal of the BAN and the Appeal of Civil Assessment.
Council and Solicitor met in executive session with the Municipal Authority this evening to discuss bulk WWCT with Washington Township. The Municipal Authority Board unanimously agreed on the conceptual aspect of the agreement document sent to Washington Township outlined in the February 20th and March 3rd memos from Manager McFadden.
Clifford “Kip” Allen moved for Council to approve conceptual agreement with Washington Township as outlined in the February 20th and March 3rd memos from Manager McFadden. Jean Davis seconded the motion and discussion followed. Mayor Cannell reported that he was personally happy with this and he was at the Township meeting and felt they had a good working relationship with Washington Township.
William Kearns, 104 Sherwood Drive, asked for specifics on the agreement. It needed to be formally approved by Washington Township at their next meeting, but Council felt it was the agreement DEP was looking for between the two municipalities. Mr. Kearns asked if it would be public knowledge as soon as Washington Township agreed. Jon Foulkrod, Mayor of Washington Township felt it was no problem to share the conceptual framework with residents.
Tracy Halmi, 112 Sunset Drive, asked for more information.
Manager McFadden explained that Washington Township reviewed their Zoning and Zoning ordinance. They informed DEP in December of 2003 what they intended to do. The Joint Municipal Planning Commission meeting in January was cancelled for lack of a quorum but in February they discussed the proposed rezoning of Washington Township. Members of the JMPC are Edinboro Borough, Franklin Township and Washington Township. Essentially the northwest quadrant of the Township proposed development would abut the KOZ of Franklin Township. The area SW Township would be zoned dense residential development. Route 99 South from the Borough to the Township line Crawford County would be intense development. WWCT Sewerage NW Quadrant Township would be handled by Washington Township with expanded and upgraded Washington Township Sewer Plant and discharge below the Edinboro Lake and the Borough Plant.
It was possible discussions with Washington Township and Franklin Township could occur regarding options for the KOZ sewer treatment area. WWCT Route 99 South agreed Edinboro and Washington Township to be treated at the Edinboro plant on a temporary basis under a bulk service agreement.
WWCT S.W. Quadrant Washington Township would be treated by the Borough site under a bulk service agreement.
With respect to Public Water, the NW Quadrant of the Township, the KOZ of Franklin and the SW Washington Township would be provided by Washington Township.
Washington Township staff and Borough staff figured that the Borough Municipal Authority would have up to 50,000 gallons per day available for treatment. Presently we have approximately 20,000 gals. per day already accounted for and the build out of 99 South under this agreement would account for 20,000 more gallons per day. With respect to the South West quadrant of the Washington Township there are three (3) situations: 1) Trailer Park would need 17,000 gpd, which DEP and Washington may wish to discuss; 2) 7,000 gpd in that area which DEP and Washington Township may discuss and prioritize since 20,000 was already accounted for and 20,000 for 99 South of the 50,000 available would not accommodate for #1 and #2 both; 3) Southwest Quadrant undeveloped land of 600 acres would at build out be 125,000 gpd. If this becomes a large scale development the Borough Sewer plant would have to be expanded by Washington Township or the developer to accommodate the large development. This expansion would be 225,000 to 250,000 gpd to accommodate the present 50,000 plus the additional 125,000, etc. With all this we are talking about operation and maintenance including treatment and conveyance to those areas alone. There was some potential discussion of the Borough and Township for water on 99 South and the Dundon Road area but not to the large southwest quadrant which the Township would handle. This is the essence of the conceptual frame work for an agreement with Washington Township as discussed in the two memos.
Corbin Fowler, Washington Township. As I understand it, this is for the overburdened WWCT plants and to upgrade facilities.
Manager McFadden stated that the Washington Township consent order with DEP acknowledged their plant and conveyance system was overloaded. The Edinboro plant was never overloaded or alleged to be overloaded. The disagreement with DEP and the Borough was in regard to the conveyance system not the plant. DEP claims our conveyance system is overloaded but we have documentation that it is not overloaded.
Washington Township staff agrees that the Township plant needs upgrading. The Township plant is a 200,000 gpd plant and flow some days was 400,000 gpd through the plant. Washington Township will expand their plant and upgrade their system.
The Borough plant is sufficient for Borough build-out per our calculations and doesn’t need to expand to service the Borough. If our plant expands it will be for Washington Township at Washington Township’s expense.
William Kearns, 104 Sherwood Drive. If the Township meets March 16th and this Council has just agreed to this conceptual agreement will there be a public announcement of this agreement and will it end the deadlock with DEP? Manager McFadden stated that Wednesday it would be discussed at a public meeting of the JMPC where Franklin Township will give its prospective on it and Washington Township will have maps and there would be discussion also. Assuming there is approval, a joint announcement could be made.
Jon Foulkrod of Washington Township was asked when their Sewer Authority met, but he was unsure.
Bob Cogan stated that he saw no problem since the memo was widely distributed that it could be released after the JMPC meeting.
The voice vote was taken on the motion on the floor as follows: “ Clifford “Kip” Allen moved for Council to approve conceptual agreement with Washington Township as outlined in the February 20th and March 3rd Memo from Manager McFadden. Jean Davis seconded the motion.” The motion passed by 5-0 voice vote.
MANAGER:
Manager McFadden explained that the new police car was being ordered. The present vehicle has 90,000 miles, and we have been putting a significant sum into this vehicle in repairs to date. Other systems could need attention before long so, in light of this, we are being more cost effective and ordering now instead of parking the vehicle if it breaks and ordering later. The window for COG opens and reopens for vehicles not until September. We have ordered it March 1st and it should be in approximately sixty days. We will advertise to sell the used one unless the WWCT takes the option to purchase it and sell its older vehicle. Clifford Allen asked if the taxi cab purchaser was used as in the past because they gave a larger bid than local bidders. Manager McFadden stated it was used last time.
Jean Davis wanted it known that there would be no other vehicles purchased this year. Manager McFadden stated that was correct.
Mayor Cannell introduced the bills for payment. Mary Ann Horne moved to approve the submitted bills totaling $ 75,199.43, and Jean Davis seconded. With no objections it passed by 5-0 voice vote.
Mayor Cannell introduced the payroll as submitted for the period ending February 28, 2004 and paid March 5, 2004 totaling $52,068.92. Mary Ann Horne moved to approve the payroll, and Jean Davis seconded. The motion approving the payroll, overtime reports, and supplemental time sheets passed unanimously by voice vote 5-0.
PUBLIC
SAFETY:
Advertisement for Civil Service Commission Police Officer Exam
was available for review. Mayor Cannell stated with the decreased crime, the
municipality only needs seven officers and this would save the general budget
some $100,000. He stated he was interested in House Bill 80, where campus
police would work with the Borough police. The university has fourteen police
officers.
Manager McFadden stated that in 1998 there were eight officers and a study was done and in 1999, the Borough got a grant allowing for an increase to ten officers. Under attrition we are at nine officers.
Discussion to hire three is because one retired on disability, another retiring by June, and the third gave notice to leave existing position to work for Attorney General’s Office. We would be down to six if we do not replace those officers. General perception was to hold to nine, filling the three vacancies.
With respect to Act 80, PLCM committee that helped draft the legislation, Manager McFadden was a member of this committee, and it is important to remember 3 points: 1) language reads ability inter-municipal police has to consist the university mission. We need to identify and discuss the mission of the university. 2) simple agreement in subchapter D. Municipal police department interacts ;and 3) more complex agreement is also possible.
Manager McFadden agreed it is worthwhile to have discussions with the university and it has worked the last five years.
The Public Safety Committee will meet March 24th and discuss this issue.
Mayor Cannell stated he didn’t think they could charge for applications of $40.00, and they did not have permission from Council to advertise. Manager McFadden explained that the charge is to make sure we do not lose money on the written testing prior to offering a job. We also have an obligation to have a Civil Service list that is fresh.
Mr. Cogan agreed with Mayor Cannell that they needed discussion. Discussion followed on police staffing study. Jean Davis informed Mr. Cogan that an extensive study was done and many public meetings held and residents as well as many factors justified ten officers. If you have no police you will have no reported crime. Last year we had one officer on disability and look at the end of month police reports on the number of calls, response, number solved, as well as daily things that must be done.
Clifford Allen stated that the Manager was correct that we need to maintain a current list in the interest of public safety. It takes time to go through the process, hire, and get an acceptance. We are not overstaffed and have good officers that are well trained, and he supported keeping the same number of officers to cover shifts, sick time, vacations, and court time.
WATER SYSTEM:
Manager McFadden stated that a memo from Water Department Superintendent Butch Shafer was on Council’s desks, if they could please read it, while he explained the procedure of bidding to the public.
Manger McFadden went on to explain that the procedure to buy a police vehicle or small truck is through the Westmoreland COG. In respect to this truck and the last truck, the cab and chassis is purchased through the COG but the dump body and hoist mechanism is bid out. We sent out three (3) specs but received only (1) one bid back. Essentially under $5,000 we need quotes. Over $10,000 we need bids. The last vehicle was approximately $2,000 cheaper, but it is too light for the work we do in the Water Department and with the retention of equipment being greater than five years the specs were beefed up. The major upgrade is from 350 to 550 truck; better hydraulics and dump body specs. The only bid received was from Garnon Truck Equipment Corp of Erie, PA for $12,885.00. The bid came with 10% bid bond, certificate of insurance, non collusion, equal opportunity, and list of qualifications of Garnon.
Jean Davis moved to accept the bid of Garnon Truck Equipment Corp for $12,885. Bob Cogan seconded the motion and it passed by 5-0 voice vote.
COMMUNITY LIAISONS:
Mayor Cannell asked if any member had a report.
Mary Ann Horne reported the Chamber of Commerce had a social last month and speakers from Goddell Gardens and the Historical Society were present.
Bob Cogan reported that the EVFD Board meeting was postponed because of a fire.
Clifford Allen reported that he attended with the EUP Alumni Board a trip to Florida to celebrate Edinboro days where he saw many Edinboro faces.
The PLCB Local Group met last week and are discussing battle of the bands, dance marathon, and rules for parties on campus. A luncheon will be held Monday with Dr. Pogue to discuss this.
Washington Township meeting. They mentioned they had funds toward the cost of lifeguards, but Mayor Cannell was not sure of the amount.
Jean Davis reported that the authorities met tonight. The Municipal Authority voted on the sewer conceptual agreement with Washington Township, and they agreed with it. An insurance claim has been filed for the drying bed roof and an Engineer was here last week to examine it. The documentation of Bio Solids report to DEP was available and discussed. The Water Authority discussed the Safe Water Fund being eliminated, from which they were trying to acquire a generator for the air stripping tower. They are still looking at cooperation with EUP to get funds elsewhere. The security alternative bids are out and the Water Department will be starting to exercise the valves next month. Some employees will be attending the PA Rural Water Conference for continuing education in order to maintain certifications.
The Sewer Committee discussion regarding a conceptual Washington Township bulk Sewer agreement was mentioned in the Solicitor’ report.
Other Old Business:
Council’s insert in the Recycling Newsletter is needed by March 22nd . Anyone with topics is to get them into the office.
Mayor Cannell reported he delivered a letter from Dr. Pogue and Council Mayor to the Provost in Edinburgh, Scotland. She was out of the city but a meeting was set with the Deputy, but Mayor Cannell’s vehicle broke down and he did not make it as scheduled. When he did arrive he received gifts from Scotland which were available for distribution to Council members after the meeting. Mayor Cannell stated that they had a massive building and if anyone were interested, he would tell them about his trip.
Erie County Association of Township Schools--notice of March schools. Mayor Cannell reported that he and Mary Ann Horne attended the session last Monday on 3C program update. There is a one stop place for businesses in the County to get a County government case worker to help them regarding jobs or problems in the County. Monies are also available to businesses for expansions.
Notice from Friends of the General McLane Area regarding meeting March 30 at 7:00 P.M. Mr. Holliger, Public Library Liaison for Commonwealth Libraries would be present.
On Council’s desks was a notice from the Northwest Commission, which was requesting a representative from the Borough participate on an ad hoc task force to focus on barriers that might impede broadband deployment in local communities. They felt the Borough would be ideal to provide insight on the subject. The committee will be charged by Venango Economic Development Corporation with meetings in April and May.
Mary Ann Horne motioned for adjournment and the meeting was adjourned at 8:50 P.M.
