COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
FFY 2005
FINAL SYNOPSIS
The Borough of Edinboro intends to submit an application to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for FFY 2005 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds in the amount of approximately $120,897 for the following proposed activity:
Public Facilities and Improvements: Phase V Central Business District Revitalization - $28,897

Crawford Beach Public Bathhouse - $30,000
Recreation Facilities: Thompson Park - $20,000
Housing Rehabilitation One Unit - $22,000
No displacement of families or individuals will be involved. The above proposed activity was selected after a Public Hearing was held on October 25, 2004 at the Borough of Edinboro Municipal Building to identify the Borough of Edinboro's needs, particularly for low and moderate income families and individuals. Citizen input into the Three-Year Community Development Plan was also invited at the first Public Hearing.
A second Public Hearing will be held on February 14, 2005 beginning at 6:45 P.M., prevailing time, at the Borough of Edinboro Municipal Building. The purpose of the hearing is to review and discuss the above-proposed activity selected by the Board of Edinboro Borough Council for funding in part or totally with FFY 2005 CDBG funds.
If you are a person with a disability and wish to attend the hearing scheduled for February 14, 2005, and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings, please contact the office staff at (814) 734-1812 to discuss how the Borough of Edinboro may best accommodate your needs.
The Borough of Edinboro has established a goal of 5% ($6,044) for minimum participation by Minority Business Enterprise and 3% ($3,626) for Women Business Enterprise.
The Borough of Edinboro's FFY 2005 CDBG Application will be considered for final approval by the Board of Edinboro Borough Council at a regular meeting beginning at 7:00 P.M, prevailing time, on March 28, 2005, at the Borough of Edinboro Municipal Building.
Interested citizens may examine a draft copy of the Borough of Edinboro's CDBG Application between March 14, 2005 and March 28, 2005 at the Borough of Edinboro Municipal Building during normal working hours (8:00 AM - 4:00 PM, prevailing time) on weekdays except holidays. Comments will be accepted until 1:00 P.M. on March 28, 2005.
The FFY 2005 CDBG Application is due April 08, 2005 and will be submitted to DCED prior to that date.
Proposed CDBG projects included Public Facilities and Improvements: Central Business District – Downtown Revitalization Phase V; Crawford Beach Public Bathhouse; Sidewalk over the Darrow Road and West Normal Street Bridge; Recreation is Thompson Park Game Courts; and Housing Rehabilitation is one single family unit.
Question and Answer Period:
Mary Ann Horne stated she heard that they went out to find a family. Has the home been inspected and could it cost more than $22,000 especially if lead paint is found. Mayor Cannell stated this is only up for review. Mary Ann Horne asked if the mayor told Vicki, Dave, and Terry to look at the property on 102 Gibson Lane. She wanted the Mayor to know that they must make everything in the home to be up to standards if accepted and they had been advised before not to go out and look for these homes that they become costly and other projects have to be eliminated. Dave Zamierowski, Zoning Administrator who was present was asked if the home was inspected. He stated that the interior had deficiencies, the vinyl siding was broken and would need repairs; holes in foundation; window sills were rotted out; windows where replaced but not insulated around when installed. Most of the CDBG required repairs are energy efficient repairs. The plumbing will need to be upgraded; gas lines need repairs; wiring will need some connections fixed and new box and breakers; roof was not inspected because of the snow. The family has lived in the home for seven (7) years. Mary Ann Horne stated that this is the last reading and it wasn’t added until now.
Greg Lucas asked if dog kennels can be added. He had checked with Camboro and Come & Stay about taking on the stray dogs but presently Camboro said no and Come & Stay was thinking about it. He felt that $5,000 could provide a good three (3) or four (4) kennel set up near Base II.
Mary Ann Horne stated that the basketball hoop behind the bathhouse was taken down when they took the bathhouse down and should be replaced with the new bathhouse.
Robert Cogan asked about the home and lead paint and estimate required to fix the home up to all criteria. Dave Zamierowski reported that Terry Carcella helped inspect the home and stated that three areas looked suspicious, one being a door that could be replaced. They would have to scrape and test at a lab which is expensive. Overall estimate to bring up to specifications would not be known until it went out for bid. Mr. Zamierowski reported that about 5 years ago they did seven homes. Jon Foulkrod, Washington Township stated that they only use CDBG for homes.
Mary Ann Horne asked if Council knew that the Federal government was considering reducing CDBG funds and we need to prioritize.
Mayor Cannell stated that Council had no commitment to the single family.
Council prioritized the items with Bathhouse number one with adding cement pad and basketball hoop. Second would be Thompson Park with match of State Grant to do the game courts. Third would be sidewalks over bridges and then sidewalks downtown Phase V. They felt the housing rehabilitation should be tabled.
Mary Ann Horne stated she heard of a new boating commission grant that could match for bathhouse related to boaters. This was a little late coming or the bathhouse could have been larger.
Greg Lucas stated that the kennel should be added to the priority list and Jean Davis agreed it was a good idea and was needed for a long time. Greg also stated that the pad for the basketball hoop could be behind the bathhouse and also made big enough for public works to have a storage building on it. The fifth priority should be the kennel.
PUBLIC INPUT: Being none, Mayor Cannell moved on to close the hearing.
Closing Remarks/Comments:
Mayor Cannell stated the adoption of the FFY2005 CDBG application would be at the March 28, 2005 Council Meeting at 7 p.m. The application deadline is April 8, 2005.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:12 p.m.

COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
February 14, 2005
Call to Order:
The following Council members were present: Clifford Allen, Bob Cogan, Christopher Gillette, Mary Ann Horne, Greg Lucas, Jean Davis, and Mayor H. Robert Cannell. Also in attendance were: Solicitor Rich Marsh; Dave Zamierowski, Zoning Administrator; and Marie Lander, Assistant to the Manager. Guests included: Donald Orr, Paul Lamantia, and Jon Foulkrod of Washington Township Council.
Mayor Cannell introduced the minutes from the regular Council meeting held January 24, 2005. Kip Allen moved for approval of the minutes, and Jean Davis seconded. Robert Cogan informed Council that he omitted the appointment of Janet Orr as Co-Chair of the Board of Directors of the EVFD in his report of January 24, 2005. The minutes were approved by a voice vote of 7-0.
Donald Orr, 201 Jefferson Street. He was having a problem on Willow Street trying to get in and out of his garage. The property owned, by Mr. Ponsoll on Willow and Route 6N, was a duplex rental property with three tenants in each unit, which meant there were seven (7) cars in the driveway and up to fifteen (15) cars on the street at times. He was requesting that Council have no parking on the south side of Willow Street. If the tenants or their guests parked across the street from his garage, he could not maneuver to exit. He had called Mr. Ponsoll before, and he came down and made the tenants move the cars, but the next day he had the same problem. Mr. Orr reported that he measured the street at 15’3” and a vehicle like his was 6’ wide, and that did not leave much room especially when there was snow on the road. Cars coming off Route 6N might have accidents with its being narrow and with cars parked there. He thanked Council for considering this request. Greg Lucas told Mr. Orr that he had talked to Tom Schruers, Dave Zamierowski, Chief Craft and Mr. Ponsoll about this, and the police would step up patrols there. If that did not solve the problem, he would be willing to make the motion for Council to have no parking on the south side of Willow Street.
Paul Lamantia, Edinboro University Student Government (SGA). He was present to discuss the Erie Metropolitan Transit Authority (EMTA) and the fact that they were negotiating the next contract. They were starting to adjust routes to meet community needs and would be running until 9:00 P.M. and focusing more on the downtown as well as the campus with fewer trips to Wal-Mart. After spring break, the new schedules would come out and they would run until 10:00 P.M. or 11:00 P.M. on the busiest downtown nights, all within the existing contract. Crawford County would be having bus service from Meadville to Edinboro University, connecting with the EMTA to Erie. They were trying to get a grant to help with the costs. He was not present to request funding. That would be taken care of by the Student Government Association (SGA). He was trying to get input on ways to increase ridership from the community and how to improve downtown usage. Currently, there were fewer than 300 residents who utilized the service, and there were 8,000 students on a monthly basis. He was trying to work with the Council and the Chamber of Commerce to find other ways. Greg Lucas stated that if they delivered them to the bars and took them back to the university might be a way to increase the number of riders. Mr. Lamantia stated that Crawford County was doing that at Allegheny College. Mary Ann Horne stated she had discussed this with the Marketing Director of the EMTA, and they were going to senior citizens’ meetings to find out how they could help. EMTA was also giving out coupons to downtown businesses trying to get people to ride downtown. It was also suggested to put schedules in church bulletins, the food pantry, the library and at bus stops. Mr. Lamantia again stated the problem was to get people to ride the buses. They were already over the numbers they expected in ridership, but they were mostly students and they would like to get the community involved. Next Monday they would be voting to continue this service.
Kip Allen asked if this service was patterned after another college. Mr. Lamantia stated Kutztown and Bloomsburg. It was a Bloomsburg fee structure. Kip Allen asked if they had similar problems like the campus focus and problems when they went off campus. He asked if some colleges used privately owned buses. Mr. Lamantia stated that Edinboro University of PA (EUP) looked into that, but half a million dollars for private use was too costly. The people need a schedule to look at and know that at 4:45 P.M., you can get a bus at a certain place and get off there if the person wants to be on time. This is the type of information EMTA is looking for, the places they would like to get on and off and at what times. EMTA stated that when the schedule was made, they would put it on Channel 3 cable station. The fee was fifty cents a ride or $20.00 month unlimited anywhere for the community and it was free for college students. They were using two buses and maybe three soon or perhaps larger ones. The Crawford Area Transportation Authority (CATA) would also not charge students and works well with the EMTA. Mayor Cannell thanked him for his updating Council on the EMTA. Discussion continued on ways to increase participation and getting the information out to students and members of the community.
Mayor Cannell informed everyone that Arthur Wright, a graduate student from EUP, was videotaping tonight’s meeting for channel 69. The meeting would be shown next week all week and would be edited to fit the one hour program. Robert Cogan stated that they should have a policy regarding videotaping and recording, especially about editing.
Committee Reports:
Finance Committee: Mary Ann Horne reported that they met today to review invoices and purchases orders. The committee saw no problems with those invoices and purchase orders reviewed.
The committee had worked on the police contract wording and hoped to have it completed shortly.
The committee had been informed that other municipalities had been sent invoices for their portion of the 2004 and 2005 Edinboro Volunteer Fire Department (EVFD) vehicle insurance, and every municipality had paid except Washington Township.
The committee had been given the new contract for lifeguards and would meet with the Young Men’s Christian Association’s (YMCA’s) Director, Sherry Meabon, to discuss the administration fee that was thirty percent (30%) of the contract. Staff would find out the costs for the last couple years and the percentage of administration fees.
A report regarding the February 9, 2005 pension meeting was available for review. Information regarding the amendment of the Investment Policy had not been received because of a death in the Ranalli family but would be presented at the next meeting. Mayor Cannell reported that he had attended the meeting and he had a concern of only a 7% return. The firm employed by the Kiwanis had a 9.5% return and an 11.7% return through this year and he thought 7% was too low. When asked if the employees saw any problem with this, he said no. Robert Cogan stated he would look into the differences if the Mayor would provide him with his plan information. Mayor Cannell stated that Chris Gillette was in that business and was an expert and should review it.
Ms. Lander informed Council that they used two managers that offset each other, and not investing in small cap or international funds could be the difference in the plans.
Ordinance Review Committee: Jean Davis reported that the Public Indecency Ordinance 502 was before them. Dave Zamierowski, Zoning Administrator, showed the Council that the Ordinance was not restrictive, and that there were places for this kind of activity in the Borough. A question regarding publishing the entire lengthy ordinance per the Home Rule Charter was discussed, and Clifford Allen was to research if it was possible to amend the charter with regard to this requirement. Staff would find the cost of publishing the ordinance in it entirety. Robert Cogan moved to table the final reading until the cost of printing was found, and Jean Davis seconded. The motion passed by 7-0 voice vote.
Personnel Committee: Clifford Allen informed Council that the search committee had opened the resumes they had received for the manager’s position and had forwarded them on to the Governor’s Center for Local Government Services to put in order for review. The Governor’s Center had all the resumes except for two (2) that had been received today. The advertisement in the Pennsylvania League of Cities and Municipalities (PLCM) February newsletter came out February 10, 2005 and additional applications were expected this week. The timeline was to mail out requests for interviews for the first week of March.
Mr. Allen also informed everyone that a Public Officials Liability tape was in the Assistant to the Manager’s office and recommended those members with time review the tape that lasted thirty (30) minutes.
Mr. Allen stated that he talked to Rob Kennerknecht, the Waste Water Collection and Treatment (WWCT) Superintendent, regarding the position in his budget that had been advertised and posted as required. He made a motion for Council to authorize Mr. Kennerknecht’s hiring someone so they could move forward. Mary Ann Horne seconded the motion, and it passed by 7-0 voice vote.
Robert Cogan asked the number of applications received for the Manager’s position, and Mr. Allen stated there were numerous applications and quite a few of the applicants were qualified. He hoped next week to receive applications from individuals with more municipally-related experience since most of the current applicants had experience in business and finance. Copies of all have been forwarded to Mike Forman and Phil Scrimenti.
Public Safety Committee: Christopher Gillette reported they met January 26, 2005 to review a police complaint issue and would be sending a response to the complainant.
They also discussed an EUP issue regarding responses by District Attorney Foulk, Chief Craft and Attorney Marsh. They planned a follow-up meeting February 16, 2005 at 6:30 p.m. Attorney Marsh reported that he talked to Brad Foulk this morning, and he was going to get a ruling interpretation for all counties from the Attorney General. Jean Davis reported that she had talked to Chief Craft, and he had talked to other municipalities, and they were in agreement with our understanding of the new law. Robert Cogan stated that the legislation intent was not in ACT 80, so he was not sure if the Attorney General would be able to clear up this problem. He felt that someday a lawsuit and a judge would make the decision. Mayor Cannell felt that the University and Borough police should meet regularly, and he would request that at the February 16, 2005 Public Safety meeting.
Streets, Buildings, & Grounds Committee: Nothing to report.
Correspondence from the Solicitor was in the packet for review.
Solicitor Marsh requested an executive session at the end of the meeting to discuss litigation with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) regarding Environmental Hearing Board (EHB) Docket 2004-017R.
Report regarding audits by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Felix & Gloecker, the appointed auditor, were in the packets for review.
Newsletters would be going out in April and articles from Council were needed. Greg Lucas asked about putting information in the newsletter regarding the consolidation question on the ballot. After much discussion it was decided not to put it into the newsletter but to use the newspapers since it was a citizen’s request and not Council’s.
Mr. Lucas also reported that around one hundred people showed up for the meeting, thinking it was a debate, and it was explained that the meeting was for a study commission. They needed at least seven petitions for people to be on the ballet and study commission and he was aware of six. Jon Foulkrod stated that he should call Frank Stefano, Washington Township Councilman, who may know of a seventh.
Mayor Cannell introduced the bills for payment. Mary Ann Horne moved for approval of the submitted bills totaling $229,285.38, and Jean Davis seconded. With no objections, the motion was approved by a 7-0 voice vote.
Mary Ann Horne moved, and Robert Cogan seconded approving the payroll ending January 29, 2005 paid February 4, 2005, totaling $51,783.36. With no questions the motion passed by a 7-0 voice vote.
Resolution 3-2005, regarding appointing Berkheimer Associates as collector of delinquent taxes and imposition of costs, was read by Jean Davis as follows:

Community Liaisons:
Chamber of Commerce: Mary Ann Horne stated they met for their annual meeting January 26, 2005. They had speakers at the meeting talking about joining with the Erie Chamber of Commerce. Questions were answered regarding service to our area and what they could offer Edinboro.
Mayor H. Robert Cannell reported he had been asked by Claudia Thornburg to reserve a four or five foot space in the Borough lobby for handouts and brochures from the Chamber of Commerce. The kick-off would be next Tuesday morning at 9:30 A.M. with channel 12, Dr. Pogue, Representative John Evans, and the Chamber of Commerce. Kip Allen asked if they did this for other organizations. It was explained that they had a bulletin board, the Greater Erie Area Roundtable (GEAR) calendars, and the Historical Society display case in the lobby presently. Jean Davis moved to allow the brochure rack in the lobby by the Chamber of Commerce, and Robert Cogan seconded. The motion passed by 7-0 voice vote.
EVFD Board Liaison: Robert Cogan reported the installation dinner was Saturday February 19, 2005 and wondered if anyone was attending other than himself and his wife. Mayor Cannell stated with no one else attending that Mr. Cogan would have to do the installation of officers this year.
Joint Municipal Planning: Christopher Gillette reported that they met Wednesday and a rough draft of the Joint Municipal Comprehensive Plan was available. The land use map was still being amended because Washington Township was reviewing map and zoning changes.
Communications:
Correspondence regarding the Erie County 911 Task Force was in the packets for review.
NEW BUSINESS:
Kip Allen asked about the Assistant to the Manager’s bond. Ms. Lander informed them that her bond was for $50,000.00, while the Manager’s was for $500,000.00. It was agreed that the Mayor would look into possibly changing the bond for the next couple of months until a new Manager was hired.
Mr. Allen also asked about the timing of the light at the intersection of Route 6N and Route 99 because traffic was backing up past the bank. He asked if a study could be done or what needed to happen to change it so more than three cars got through the light. It was agreed to have the Public Works Director contact the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) on this problem.
Mr. Allen also asked for a chart with the number of miles on each Borough vehicle at its last inspection and the total amount of fuel used annually.
