HOME RULE BOROUGH OF EDINBORO
COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
June 28, 2004
Call to Order:
The following Council members were present: Mayor H. Robert Cannell, Clifford Allen, , Bob Cogan, Jean Davis, Greg Lucas, and Christopher Gillette. Absent was Mary Ann Horne. Also in attendance were E.R. McFadden, Borough Manager, and Marie Lander, Assistant to the Manager. Guests present were: Tracy Halmi; Jon Foulkrod, Washington Township; Paul Leroy Mussi; Jen Duda, Erie Times; James A. Strand; and Ryan Smith, Meadville Tribune.
Mayor Cannell introduced the minutes from the Regular Council meeting held June 14, 2004. Jean Davis moved for approval of the minutes, and Robert Cogan seconded. The minutes were approved by a voice vote of 4-0-2 with Clifford Allen and Greg Lucas abstaining.
Tracy Halmi, 112 Sunset Drive. She stated she had no ill will against any Council member but had a different opinion. She wanted to know about the courts up-holding the May 2000 Order and where the Council planned to go from here. Mayor Cannell stated that the Borough planned to continue to negotiate. Robert Cogan clarified that they had discussed this in executive session and the final decision will be decided here later.
James Strand, 12246 Route 99, stated when this Council, Manager, and Solicitor chose to appeal, it made them responsible for and caused the ban. He went on to explain his situation in the Pinecrest Subdivision and his loss of income from loss of sales. Mr. Strand stated he had talked to two attorneys and they felt the same way, that the Borough would have to help him in consideration of tax bills, etc. He wanted to know if the Council was going to pay the Marsh firm for the appeal and the engineering costs. Lastly, in his opinion, Manager McFadden and Attorney Marsh did get the Council to go this way to appeal. Mr. Strand stated he dealt with DEP and did see the writing on the wall and they should have also. This process he felt took away what he wanted to do this summer Robert Cogan stated that it would be Council’s ultimate decision and he would present possibilities. He recounted his inability for the last five months on Council to reverse prior Council decisions and would try again tonight.
Mr. Strand asked about the OTM pipe with or without Washington Township, and the flood at his in-laws’ home across from the OTM. Manager McFadden first wanted to make sure everyone understood he was talking about storm sewers not sanitary sewers when he spoke of OTM. First, funds for litigation of sanitary sewers comes from fees and rates for sewer service and no sanitary sewer funds are used for storm sewers. Up until DEP issued the ban in December 16, 2003 they could sell and build in Pinecrest. Neither the Borough nor the Authority put the ban on, but the DEP placed it there.
Mr. Strand stated this was because of lack of response by the Borough and the problem as DEP saw it. Manager McFadden stated there is no problem where you intend to build. No reason to place a ban on a subset of the conveyance systems. Discussion regarding talking with the DEP followed. The reason the communication was in the manner it was because that is what DEP required, which was not open conversations. It was noted that Jon Foulkrod from Washington Township was present, that they had signed a series of consent orders admitting they are hydraulically overloaded in their sanitary sewers. Manager McFadden went on to discuss the storm water situation and the OTM to which Mr. Strand was referring. Our Engineer did a watershed study on the OTM situation and sent a copy of the study to Steve Halmi, Washington Township’s Engineer. We proposed working in a cooperative effort with Washington Township from above the OTM to the Lake. Storm water starts in Washington Township and a considerable amount of water comes from there. Mr. Halmi’s report to the Township indicated it was too expensive to cooperate with the Borough to regulate the storm water, but Manager McFadden reported the Borough portion is moving forward. Mr. Foulkrod stated that the Engineering study for Washington Township had three or four alternatives, and the one the Borough proposed was to send the storm water in back of the school to the creek, and that was too expensive. We, the Township never said we would not cooperate, but need to look at other alternatives. Manager McFadden stated that the letter they received stated they would not participate and never said what the Township would do or even if they would consider other alternatives. Mr. Cogan asked to move on in the agenda.
Committee Reports:
Finance Committee: Jean Davis reported that they did not have a meeting, but she reviewed the invoices and so did Mr. Cogan, and she saw nothing out of the ordinary to report.
Ordinance Review Committee: Jean Davis reported they met June 23rd and worked on two items, the Public Indecency Ordinance, for which they had a couple of questions for Attorney Marsh before bringing back to Council, and the second item was Dumpster Ordinance 514, and they met with business owners, and it was still being reviewed.
Jean Davis moved acceptance of Ordinance 516 PA Uniform Construction Code for its second reading, and Clifford “Kip” Allen seconded as follows:
Home Rule Borough of Edinboro
ORDINANCE 516
WHEREAS, the purpose of this ordinance is to promote the general health, safety and welfare of the citizens of this Municipality of the Home Rule Borough of Edinboro and to conform to the requirements of the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act and regulations to the Act promulgated by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry (hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Code”); and
WHEREAS, the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act requires the enactment of an appropriate ordinance by municipalities electing to administer and enforce the building code provisions of the Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby enacted and ordained as follows:
a) by the designation of an employee of the Municipality to serve as the Municipal Code Official to act on behalf of the Municipality;
b) by the retention of one or more construction code officials or third-party agencies to act on behalf of the Municipality;
c) by agreement with one or more other municipalities for the joint administration and enforcement of this Act through an inter-municipal agreement;

to equal or exceed the minimum requirements of the Code, as amended from time to
time.

the Code shall remain in full force and effect.
DULY ENACTED AND ORDAINED this 28th day of June, 2004, by the Council of the Home Rule Borough of Edinboro in public session duly assembled.
Christopher Gillette asked what choice “a” through “e” they would be doing. Manager McFadden stated it would be Council’s decision, but that Dave Zamierowski currently was accredited in some areas and working on other areas, mostly residential.
Mr. Gillette stated he would like to see other inspectors able to come into the Borough, and also he heard they were fighting these regulations in Harrisburg. Mr. Cogan added that it was true they were adjusting the law so that homeowners could remodel some items without needing inspections, but this ordinance was a basic formality that was needed.
The Roll call vote followed for Ordinance 516: Clifford Allen, yes; Robert Cogan, yes; Jean Davis, yes; Christopher Gillette, yes; Mary Ann Horne, absent; Gregory Lucas, yes; and Mayor H. Robert Cannell, yes. The motion passed by 6-0 roll call vote.
Robert Cogan moved to postpone enforcement of Ordinance 514 regarding dumpsters indefinitely, and Jean Davis seconded. The motion passed by 5-1 voice vote.
Robert Cogan moved to postpone section 20.6.4 of Ordinance 506 of the Garbage and Recycling & Burning Ordinance indefinitely. After discussion that Ordinance 514 superseded Ordinance 506 on that section, Mr. Cogan withdrew his motion. Manager McFadden assured Council that the screening section would not be enforced.
Mr. Allen asked the status of police officer hiring. Manager McFadden stated it was his understanding from the last Council meeting that they would wait until the 2nd quarter review, which would be in a couple of weeks. Greg Lucas stated that they discussed hiring two officers immediately, and Mr. McFadden stated that some Councilmen felt that they would not vote for a tax increase or rate increase, and they could not see hiring and then firing in January or freezing salaries and benefits. Greg. Lucas moved to hire two (2) police officers immediately, and Robert Cogan seconded. Greg Lucas felt that the police overtime would probably pay for at least one officer. Chief Craft in the audience informed Council that with six officers they could only have one officer on duty per shift, and clearance rates would be down while they are short-handed and overtime would be up for covering vacations, etc. Robert Cogan moved to table Mr. Lucas’s motion until after the Committee of the Whole meeting to review budget for the 2nd quarter. Jean Davis seconded the motion and it passed by 5-1 voice vote.
SOLICITOR’S REPORT:
Mayor Cannell reported that Council met in executive session with the Municipal Authority, Solicitor Marsh (by phone), Rob Kennerknecht, WWCT Superintendent, and Charles Wunz of HRG tonight prior to the Council meeting. They discussed DEP v. Edinboro Commonwealth Court Docket No. 835 M.D. 2003; Edinboro v. DEP, Commonwealth Account No. 2696 C.D. 2003; Edinboro v. DEP, EHB Docket 2004-016R; and Edinboro v. DEP, EHB Docket No. 2004-017-R. They also discussed continuing negotiations with DEP-Meadville by HRG Engineer Charles Wunz and WWCT Superintendent Rob Kennerknecht. Manager McFadden went on to explain the Commonwealth Court Panel was made up of three judges and on June 23, 2004 had a split decision upholding the EHB’s November 14, 2003 decision, which upheld the May 9, 2000 Order of the DEP-Meadville. We have certain options that were discussed in executive session. We heard from HRG, the firm brought in to do a peer review of the work of Lake Engineering, to the effect that our sewerage conveyance system was not hydraulically overloaded. Mr. Chuck Wunz, of HRG essentially agrees our conveyance system is not hydraulically overloaded pursuant to Chapter 94 regulations, whether using the thresholds in Chapter 94 before the changes by EHB or using the new definitions. Either way, he was satisfied, that we are not overloaded. He feels we need to maintain our system and address I & I and concurs with the acquisition of the sewer jet-vac machine to enhance maintenance and also use in the storm water system. The options outlined in executive session are:
1. Cease all appeals and accept any un-negotiated Consent Order and Agreement PADEP-Meadville presents to us.
2. Continue negotiating an amicable settlement and release and continue all appeals.
3. Same as no. 2, except continue the appeal before Commonwealth Court by requesting a review only if PMAA and/or PLCM attorneys will file and appear in person and speak on behalf of our position. Manager McFadden noted that PMAA attorney Mike Witherel stated he will appear given reasonable time to arrange his schedule and PLCM is processing our request.
4. Accept the panel’s decision, but continue the appeals of the December 16, 2003 ban and civil penalty and continue negotiation toward an amicable settlement and release. Solicitor Marsh in executive session by speaker phone stated this option would not be workable.
Clifford “Kip” Allen moved to authorize Rob Kennerknecht, WWCT Superintendent, and HRG to continue negotiating an amicable settlement and to authorize Attorney Marsh to file in a timely manner a request of a review by the full Commonwealth Court; Greg Lucas seconded the motion.
Robert Cogan moved to postpone the vote of Mr. Allen’s motion until he put his motion on the floor also. Mayor Cannell seconded the motion, and it failed by 2-4 voice vote.
Motion on the floor by Mr. Allen was approved by a 4 -2 voice vote.
Mr. Cogan moved that Council direct the Manager and Solicitor to 1) cease all activity of appeal of the DEP findings, Ban, Civil Penalty, EHB Adjudication and Commonwealth Court ruling and, 2) inform the DEP tomorrow that it accepts the April 19th 2004 settlement proposal, 3) prepare a resolution for Council to approve and sign same at an earliest legally possible special meeting, 4) include in the communication to the DEP that we respectfully request that the blanks in “Completion Date” of Tasks 2 and 3 be filled with 180 days, and the blank in Section 8 Civil Penalty line 2 be filled with no more than $1,000, because the citizens of Edinboro should not be penalized for the incorrect legal judgments of last year’s Borough Council and further, that upon the Borough – Borough Authority’s signing, restoration of the 20 EDU’s of the May 18th letter is requested to facilitate connection requests of our residents. Mayor H. Robert Cannell seconded the motion and discussion followed. The motion failed by 2-4 voice vote.
Tracy Halmi, 112 Sunset Drive. She asked if the Orr Development would have to put a plan for storm water in their development plan as well as pay for sewerage lines and storm sewers. Manager McFadden explained that the site plan received for storm water from the Orr Brothers was determined after review to be inadequate a few years ago. They never came back to the Borough for review again. The sanitary sewer portion is 24 residents in the Borough and 16 in the Township. In the Art Kuholski report, he stated we needed to study Maple Drive/Route 6N regarding flow data for six months to see what it looks like. Mr. Kuholski also stated if the developer wanted to fast track, he could do that and he gave rough options and costs, which the Orrs didn’t want. In the spring of 2002, the DEP proposed a Settlement which had the Borough providing sewer to the Orr Brothers at no cost to the Orr’s and ½ the cost for the Sherrod Hill sewer for a couple hundred acres in Washington Township. Manager McFadden explained these were unusual costs to demand the Borough to assume when the parcels are not even in the Borough. The PADEP’s reasons are not clear. Mr. James Strand stated it was the DEP retaliation. Manager McFadden wanted it to be clear to the press and minutes that it was Mr. Strand who accused the DEP of retaliation to the Borough and not Manager McFadden.
Also in the packets for review was a letter from Attorney Marsh to the Manager of June 15, 2004 and a letter from Attorney Marsh to Stephanie Gallogly, Chief Counsel for the DEP regarding settlement offer of the Borough’s.
Manager McFadden stated he would try to get all items pending finished for the next meeting. Available in the packets was information on General McLane Area Community library; medical benefits meeting of employees, and a letter to President Pogue regarding policing in Edinboro.
FINANCE:
Mayor Cannell introduced the bills for payment. Jean Davis moved to approve the submitted bills totaling $54,149.36, and Clifford “Kip” Allen seconded. The motion passed by a 6-0 voice vote.
Mayor Cannell introduced the payroll as submitted for the period ending June 19, 2004 and paid June 25, 2004 totaling $49,367.53. Jean Davis moved to approve the payroll, and Robert Cogan seconded. The motion approving the payroll, overtime reports and supplemental time sheets passed unanimously by a voice vote 6-0.
May Finance reports were available for review. Mayor Cannell requested the Finance Committee review them.
Mayor Cannell presented the Manager with a check for $1,140 for dividend for Unemployment Compensation.
POLICE:
Monthly report was available for review. Mayor Cannell asked why in the last two months there were no K-9 reports. He wanted to know what the dog was doing. Manager McFadden stated it would be included in the future.
BOCA Code/Planning/Zoning:
Monthly report was available for review. Clifford Allen asked why the section showing schedule of visitation by the Zoning Officer was omitted from the report and if there was any reason for not receiving it? Manager McFadden would ask the Zoning Administrator to provide this information.
Monthly report was available for review.
WASTEWATER COLLECTION & TREATMENT:
Manager McFadden stated this is a resolution to participate in purchasing through a cooperative purchasing agreement with City of Harrisburg. The WWCT staff and two separate engineering firms believe this is equipment needed to be more productive in maintaining WWCT and storm sewers. This will help with I & I work and the company has agreed to hold the price for one unit. Discussion followed regarding the letter of intent to purchase and financing. After discussion Jean Davis moved for approval of the resolution, and seconded by Robert Cogan as follows:
Home Rule Borough of Edinboro
Resolution No. 13-2004
A RESOLUTION, of the Home Rule Borough of Edinboro, Erie County, Pennsylvania.

WATER SYSTEM:
Monthly report was available for review.
Community Development/Project Coordinator:
Monthly report was available for review.
COMMUNITY LIAISONS:

Other Old Business:
Clifford Allen asked if the Public Safety Committee could address soccer tournaments in town. Last weekend you could not get out of side streets with traffic moving so fast. He requested that the Manager check with PennDOT about 35 mph speed from I-79 to EUP. Also to check with Washington Township regarding joining us in this request since much was in the township. Mr. Allen also asked that college police help with traffic and suggest they provide entrants with alternative routes such as getting off at the Saegertown exit or three ways to get on campus. It would also be a good idea to send a copy to our Representative and Senator to make them aware of the problem of traffic.
Clifford Allen moved adoption of Resolution 11-2004 Growing Greener II:
