Deputy Mayor Horne introduced the minutes from the regular Council meeting held November 13, 2006. Robert Cogan moved for approval minutes, and Jean Davis seconded. The minutes were approved by voice vote of 5-0.
AGENDA:
Manager Jemetz asked to have the Award ceremony moved up from Manager’s section to after the approval of the Agenda.
Robert Cogan asked if Attorney Bensons letter to Council should be put in communications or executive session to make Council and the public aware of this item. Andrea Benson, Washington Township stated she did not wish the Borough to join in litigation and passed out copies of the letter to the Council. Citizens of the Borough and Township are attempting to have both bodies (Washington Township and Borough of Edinboro) in the negotiations because of the Washington Township appeal against DEP. She considered her request a non litigation item.
Jean Davis stated that the letter was no rush on the agenda and that the citizens came out and felt Council should listen to them and requested the Non Agenda items be moved up under Agenda items on Public Participation.
Mr. Cogan asked what detailed subject would be discussed at the executive session this evening. Deputy Mayor Horne informed him it would be per the Manager’s request to discuss the PEL study; Personnel matters; and the Andrea Benson letter which may be legal matter.
Jean Davis moved to modify the agenda as noted and Robert Cogan seconded. The agenda was modified to have awards ceremony after the approval of the agenda and Public Participation on Non Agenda Items up after Comments on Agenda Items. The motion passed by 5-0 voice vote.
Award of Commendations:
Manager Jemetz awarded commendations to Officer Winkler, Officer Senz, and Officer Lawrence. Manager Jemetz read the inscription on Officer Winkler’s award as follows:
“This certificate is awarded to Officer William Winkler for his selfless service in the face of danger on November 22, 2006. Late that evening, Officer Winkler responded to a report of a structure fire at the College Park Apartments, in Edinboro. Once at the scene, Officer Winkler assessed the situation, and without regard for his own personal safety, entered the burning structure. He crawled on his hands and knees, to minimize his smoke inhalation, as he knocked on doors and searched the apartments for occupants in need of help. Officer Winkler found one frightened occupant on the second floor and quickly lead him to safety through a smoke filled corridor. Thanks to his quick thinking, fast action, and selfless disregard for his personal safety, Officer Winkler ensured that no one died or was seriously injured in that fire.”
Council and those present gave the officers a round of applause for a job well done. A copy of the certificate will be put into their personnel files.
Public Participation:
Being no one wishing to speak on agenda items, the Deputy Mayor moved on to public participation on items not on the agenda.
Andrea Benson, Washington Township. She was counsel for concerned citizens of Washington Township and the Borough of Edinboro concerning pollution of Edinboro Lake because of the Washington Township sewer plant. The October flow chart showed only a couple days below the 200,000 gallon level which the plant was rated for. She stated she went to DEP office in early November and reviewed the Edinboro and Washington Township files and was shocked to see documents dating back to 1972 which looked like they were done last week. With the lack of ability of the Township or joint process with the Borough citizens say enough is enough and this is where the buck stops. She was not sure where it will go for resolution but DEP has stepped up and said no more EDU’s to Washington Township. She stated she talked to the Township solicitor today about the citizens intervening in the process to be able to sit at the table when they mediate. She encouraged the Borough Council to have mediation with the Township, DEP and the Citizens so everyone can understand the Engineers and listen to them or new ones if necessary. She asked Council to become part of the solution.
Councilman Cogan stated that he needed to review the two processes of “intervention” and “mediation” which he was not sure were available during appeal of DEP at the Environmental Hearing Board (EHB). He stated that 30 years of overflow was enough and he would review further.
Jean Davis stated that Council met and discussed cooperating with Washington Township to solve their problem. Manager Jemetz and WWCT Superintendent Rob Kennerknecht have talked with Manger Dave Anthony of Washington Township and gave him a list of things we would or would not consider. The Township, in turn, was to give us a proposal of what they would like to ask us to do for them.
Manager Jemetz stated that there was nothing wrong with the Borough Plant and the problem was not our plant or conveyance system but the Washington Township system. We have offered them assistance which included taking and treating 100,000 gallons per day of their sewage. We were turned down, but this offer is still open. The Township presently is not happy with their decision to keep their plant in this location and have asked for discussions on merging the plants. The point is that we are working toward addressing the problem.
A.Reed McFarlone, 12272 Woodside Drive Washington Township. He explained that Andrea Benson’s letter is trying to get Edinboro to the table with the Township and DEP so it would be more cost affective. Manager Jemetz informed him that the Borough was already at the table.
Andrea Benson stated since she looked at the files it showed that both had been at the table many years but citizens have not been at the table.
Manager Jemetz stated the problem is the conveyance system of the Township. They need to address this and fix it themselves. The Borough has purchased a vac truck and we are systematically cleaning and camera our conveyance system in the Borough and addressing our I & I. He stated he was not aware of this kind of project in the Township. We can discuss taking on sewage but they still need to address their conveyance and I & I problems.
Jean Davis stated she appreciated the group that came out to support the Borough and it was heart warming to see so many present.
Nancy Crawford, 202 Elm Street. Nancy stated she knew they had the support of the Borough. DEP has taken back the EDU’s and we need to make sure they don’t change their minds.
James Strand, Route 99. The condition of the Lake is critical to all of us. Last year was our worst year with economic loss. Edinboro is not as vibrant and renters are leaving because of the polluted Lake. Township plant is 500 feet form were children swim. I have been listening to Ms. Davis and Mr. Lucas and the Borough is doing all they can do to take sewage out of the Lake. The Borough has a good Waste Treatment Management and he didn’t fault the Township totally but he did not understand why they would build an addition to their plant and not join the Borough plant that is managed currently. Mr. Strand went on to say he was asking what can the Borough do? He agreed the Council shouldn’t pay for the snag and wondered why Senator Earll didn’t invite the Borough Manager to the meeting. His question, is their anything left to offer up to the Township from the Borough such as potential bringing their sewage to the borough plant.
Manager Jemetz stated that the Township was preparing an offer for our consideration.
Mr. Strand asked about the new effluent line and if it was feasible.
Manager Jemetz stated the new line from the Township plant for the effluent should be started and it could be extended to our plant if we come to an agreement to join the two plants to get the sewage out of the Lake. We have already offered to take and treat 100,000 gallons of sewage a day. This could minimize their overflows at peak times.
Mr. Strand asked if it will hurt the Township customer to hook to our plant or their own 5.1 million plant.
Manager Jemetz stated, it all depends on the proposal that they present to the Borough. We ado offer economy of scale and therefore, reduced labor costs. We will wait and see what the Township proposes. We will listen and consider their proposal.
Jean Davis stated the 537 Plan originally had many options and the Township choose to upgrade their plant. Manager Jemetz stated that they chose to upgrade their own plant and are now looking at other options. There is nothing wrong with them changing their minds.
Mayor Clifford Allen arrived and Deputy Mayor Horne turned the meeting over to him. Mayor Allen apologized for being late that he was at a meeting in Harrisburg.
Committee Reports:
Finance Committee: Mary Ann Horne reported that they met for a budget workshop on November 29 and also met to review the bills today.
Mayor Allen closed the meeting and opened the PUBLIC HEARING on the proposed budget with no tax increases.
PUBLIC HEARING:
Mayor Allen thanked management and staff for preparing a not tax increase budget.
Matt Seagren, Gibson Lane, EVFD.
Mr. Seagren asked what amount was reserved for the Fire Department. He was informed it was the same as in FY2006. Mr. Seagren stated that donations and bingo was down approximately $20,000 and may be hurt even more if the smoking ban goes into effect. They are working on a project to replace the one engine at approximately $450,000 since they need three (3) engines with handling over 1000 calls per year. They hope to purchase the engine the first of 2007. He requested Council to provide more funds if they could, it would be appreciated. He thanked the local residents, EUP for student volunteers, and the support of public service. Mayor Allen thanked Matt Seagren and the Fire Department for a great job they provide the community. Council agreed to put a notice on the cable station regarding the Fund Drive for the EVFD and its need for more funds. Mr. Seagren stated that he would get the information to the Manager. He also stated in January 2007 he would make a presentation regarding the number of calls as well as give information about the 40-50 volunteers.
Hearing was closed with no other comments.
FINANCE COMMITTEE:
Mary Ann Horne moved to adopt Resolution 14-2006 regarding police contribution to Pension for FY2007 as follows:
HOME RULE BOROUGH OF EDINBORO
RESOLUTION 14-2006
WHEREAS, the Home Rule Borough of Edinboro (the "Borough"), on January 1, 1952 established, a retirement plan for certain of its employees known as the Borough of Edinboro Police Pension Plan (the "Plan"), which was adopted pursuant to Act 600; and
WHEREAS, the Borough reserves the right to reduce or eliminate Participant Contributions below the mandated rate of five percent (5%) of compensation subject to certain conditions on an annual basis; and
WHEREAS, the Borough reserves the right to increase the rate of Participant Contribution not to exceed the mandated maximum rate of eight percent (8%) of compensation subject to certain conditions on an annual basis; and
WHEREAS, the Borough receives confirmation from the Plan's Actuary with respect to the Participant Contributions and the actuarial soundness of the plan; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Home Rule Borough of Edinboro Council that, effective January 1, 2007, and continuing through and including December 31, 2007, the amount of Participant Contributions due shall be six percent (6%) of compensation.
RESOLVED this 11th day of December 2006.
The resolution was seconded by Jean Davis and discussion followed. Jean informed Council that the Manager had discussed this change with the Police Department and they were in agreement to increase their contribution form 5% to 6%.

Jean Davis seconded the motion and it passed by 6-0 voice vote.

Jean Davis stated it would be discussed as part of the PEL report later tonight in executive session. Robert Cogan stated the bases of the cases were given by him on October 5th and if the Council is reluctant in this step which is a financial interest. He stated he understood that some maybe afraid of political futures if they act on this but they should move on it. Jean Davis stated that we have come against a snag on it and there is no political reason not to move forward with it.
Personnel Committee: Mr. Cogan had nothing to report at this time.
Recreation/Lake/Environment Committee: Robert Cannell had nothing to report.
Public Safety Committee: Greg Lucas reported that the Police Chief had information on this and was requesting to move forward in procurement of tasers. It was agreed to set a date in January for the committee to review and consider them. Mayor Allen stated that before they begin using they should publicize to the public the purpose and reason for using tasers. They should also review if each officer should have one or that each officer would have a holster equipped, but only the ones on shift would have them, which would mean purchasing 3 instead of 8 tasers.

Committee of the Whole: Mayor Allen had nothing to report.
Solicitor Marsh had nothing to report.
