Council Minutes
August 27, 2007
Call to Order:
Mayor Horne called the meeting to order on Monday, August 27, 2007 at 7:03 p.m.
Roll Call:
H. Robert Cannell, Bob Cogan, Greg Lucas, Jean Davis, Dennis Travis, and Mary Ann Horne were present. Member absent was Clifford “Kip” Allen. Others present included Manager “TJ” Jemetz; and Assistant to the Manager Marie Lander. Guests present were Ryan Smith, Meadville Tribune; John Ponsoll; Chris Pollitt; Jordon Heynoski; and Meghan Moeslein of the Edinboro News.
Approval of Minutes:
Robert Cogan moved approval of the Regular Meeting minutes of July 23, 2007. Jean Davis seconded the motion and it passed by 6-0 voice vote.
Approval of agenda:
Mayor Horne asked for a motion to approve the agenda as printed and posted.
Jean Davis moved to accept the agenda as posted and Dennis Travis seconded. The motion passed by 6-0 voice vote.
Public Participation:
John Ponsoll, 108 Beau Drive. He was present to ask Council about getting signs in Edinboro to show how proud we are of the football and basketball teams of General McLane. On the broadcast of the games at state the announcer didn’t know where Edinboro was and Ponsoll felt we should have a sign so when they return to the Borough with their families ten years from now they could show them. He felt maybe a collection after a football game or something would gain enough funds to have them made. Mayor Horne asked if Mr. Ponsoll would chair a committee to do this. He said no but would get others to donate as well as himself. He hoped it would not cost too much but be a tasteful sign. Mayor Horne stated they would need to research this. Jean Davis stated there was a sign on Route 99 put up by T. Scarlett but she felt it was not enough. Mr. Cogan suggested that the Manager get in touch with General McLane School District to get information and donation toward a sign. Mr. Ponsoll stated it was a great school and he would go to a School Board meeting and ask about the sign. Manager Jemetz stated it was not just Edinboro but other municipalities that make up the team at General McLane School District and that the school would provide signs and we would accept the sign. Greg Lucas noted that the signs presently are, privately owned and are on private property, not on the Borough property. Mr. Cannell felt that one big sign in front of the school would do the trick since many use route 99 past the High School. Greg Lucas asked Mr. Ponsoll to try the school board and boosters. There is no general booster’s club at the High School any longer and you would have to deal with the football and basketball boosters. Mayor Horne asked Mr. Ponsoll to keep the Council informed on how it is coming and if the Council could help.
Being no other requests to speak on agenda items or non agenda items, Mayor Horne moved on to old business.
Old Business:
Committee Reports:
Finance Committee: Jean Davis, Chair noted that they met in negotiations with the Police July 26th, August 1, 8, and 15th and the Manager would have more details in his report.
Finance also met August 13th and today August 27th at 4:30 to review bills and purchase orders.
Jean Davis moved to approve the bills as presented for August 13, 2007 of $71,765.74 and August 27, 2007 of $95,172.74 which Robert Cogan seconded. Mr. Cannell noted that the four pages should be bigger print since he could not see it. After much discussion, it was agreed to try and print the report in larger print possibly 13 or 14 point. Being no comments or questions on the bills the motion passed by 6-0 voice vote.
Jean Davis moved authorization to approve payroll ending July 28 and paid August 3, 2007 totaling $56,964.96 and Payroll ending August 11 paid August 13, 2007 of $52,533.08. H. Robert Cannell seconded the motion and it passed by unanimous 6-0 voice vote.
Mayor Horne noted the overtime for police in the last two payrolls that we were down one officer but the Manager has told the police chief to reduce the day shift from 3 officers to 2. Manager Jemetz stated that some over time was due to the departure of the one officer and he was looking into a couple of overtime options. Jean Davis asked that the next police schedule for September be provided to Council in their mailboxes.
Jean Davis introduced the Ordinance 547 for Police Pension Plan Restatement and summary as prepared by Mockenhaupt Associates and reviewed by legal counsel as a motion. Mayor Horne stated this was a housekeeping procedure since the Auditor General’s office required the plan be updated to new federal and state laws as well as the employment agreements. Greg Lucas seconded the motion and the Ordinance passed by 6-0 roll call vote: Robert Cogan, yes; Jean Davis, yes; Dennis Travis, yes; Gregory Lucas, yes; Clifford Allen, absent; H. Robert Cannell, yes; and Mary Ann Horne, yes.
Jean Davis moved to adopt Ordinance 548 for Non Uniformed Defined Benefit Plan restatement and summary. This also was prepared by Mockenhaupt Associates and reviewed by legal counsel. Robert Cannell seconded the motion and it passed by 6-0 roll call vote: Clifford Allen, absent; H. Robert Cannell, yes; Robert Cogan, yes; Jean Davis, yes; Dennis Travis, yes; Gregory Lucas, yes; and Mary Ann Horne, yes.

1. The Insuring Agent shall transfer from the insurance proceeds to the designated officer of the Municipality in the aggregate of $2,000.00 for each $15,000.00 of a claim and for each fraction of that amount of a claim, this section to be applied such that if the claim is $15,000.00 or less, the amount transferred to the Municipality shall be $2,000.00; or
2. If at the time of a proof of loss agreed to between the named insured and the Insuring Agent, the named insured has submitted a contractor’s signed estimate of the costs of removing, repairing or securing the building or other structure, the Insuring Agent shall transfer to the Municipality from the insurance proceeds the amount specified in the estimate.
3. The transfer of proceeds shall be on pro rata basis by all companies, associations or exchanges insuring the building or other structure.

Street, Buildings, & Grounds Committee: Robert Cannell stated that they also needed to schedule a meeting Sept 5th. Greg Lucas stated he was the one who requested the meeting, because he felt they needed to extend the no parking for snow removal November 1st to April 15th. Also Mr. Lucas requested a meeting of Robert Cannell, himself, Manager Jemetz, and Kip Allen to take a trip around town to see the parking situations on Sunset, Chestnut, Water Street Extension, etc, because there may be safety problems as well as common sense changes that should be made regarding parking. They agreed to meet at 11:30 for lunch and then a tour of the area. After the tour they would decided if another meeting on September 5th was necessary.
Committee of the Whole: Mayor Horne noted that they met on July 30th for the 2nd quarter 2007 financial review. If anyone who missed the meeting had any questions they should meet with Marie Lander, Assistant to the Manager as soon as possible.
Manager Report:
Manager Jemetz reviewed his written report in detail with Council.
Jean Davis moved to accept resolution 20-2007 regarding the impact study to be sent to Senator Earll with a cover letter from Manager Jemetz and copies of legislation found by Councilman Cogan from other states where the state paid in lieu of taxes to municipalities with state universities within their boundaries. Robert Cannell seconded the motion. Manager Jemetz stated he recommended deleting paragraph 4 and correcting the states that were found to have legislation. Robert Cogan moved to amend the resolution to be adopted as follows:
Home Rule Borough of Edinboro
Resolution No. 20-2007
WHEREAS, a very significant financial burden is placed on the Borough of Edinboro (Erie County) and other host municipalities to State System of Higher Education (SSHE) universities; and
WHEREAS, the Borough of Edinboro is a small, 2.2 square mile, municipality that hosts Edinboro University of Pennsylvania (EUP), a relatively large SSHE University. EUP occupies 40% of the Borough’s useable land; and
WHEREAS, the Borough has a total of 50% tax exempt properties, with over 90% of the Edinboro’s tax exempt property belonging to EUP; and
WHEREAS, the financial burden on Borough of Edinboro is caused by a combination of increased municipal costs and decreased municipal revenue that are directly attributable to presence of EUP; and
WHEREAS, the estimated net worth of EUP campus as of 2006 is $115 million dollars. If EUP were taxable entity, EUP would contribute nearly $400,000 per year in municipal property taxes; and
WHEREAS, as EUP enrollment grows, more and more college students will displace full-time residents and occupy the Borough’s single family houses; and
WHEREAS, most students pay little or no earned income taxes (EIT). If they do pay EIT, it goes to their home of record, which usually is not the Borough of Edinboro; and
WHEREAS, according to the 2000 census, 64% of those living in Edinboro are renters and we estimate that 90% of Edinboro’s renters are students; and
WHEREAS, only 36% of those who reside in Edinboro own homes compared to Erie County average of 79.97% homeownership; and
WHEREAS, when a single family house converts to a student rental property, the Borough loses approximately forty percent (40%) of the tax revenue that would have otherwise been attributable to the combination of property and earned income tax; and
WHEREAS, it is common knowledge that demand for police services increases when there is high percentage of young adults within the municipal demographics. When alcohol is readily available to the young adults, the demand for police services jumps even higher; and
WHEREAS, there is one beer distributor and nine drinking establishments located within walking distance of the EUP campus. They include: Copper Coin Bar; Hotel Bar; Empty Keg Bar; Borough Bar; Culbertson Hills Golf Course Club House; Crossroad’s Dinor; Uncle Charlie’s Pizza Pub; Copper Kettle Bar and Restaurant; and Edinboro Lanes & Lookout Lounge, and .
WHEREAS, to meet the frequent demand for police response, the Borough can not rely on the State Police as most of the Borough’s neighboring municipalities are able to do; and
WHEREAS, taking into account police revenue, it cost the Borough $466,751 in 2006 to maintain its own police department, which accounts for nearly 50% of the Borough’s General Fund expenses; and
WHEREAS, the typical reaction from SSHE/EUP officials and staff is, “What about all the benefit of hosting a SSHE school? What about all the good paying jobs, the tax dollars paid by those who work at the university? What about all the cultural, educational and sporting events available to the community?; and
WHEREAS, it is true there are some benefits to hosting a SSHE school, but we must remember that residents in neighboring municipalities receive the exact same access to EUP benefits as the Edinboro residents, but share none of the financial burden; and
WHEREAS, EUP and SSHE officials can no longer deny the financial inequities that they pose on their host municipalities, due to an unbiased 2006 Pennsylvania Economy Leagues (PEL) study of the economic impact of SSHE schools on their municipal hosts; and
WHEREAS, it is safe to say that help for SSHE host municipalities can only be attained through legislative support from the Pennsylvania Legislature and the Governor; and
WHEREAS, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin recognize the inequities posed on their state university host municipalities and compensate their host municipalities for the increased costs and decreased revenues; and
WHEREAS, a similar arrangement in Pennsylvania is certainly justified and would be very well-received and appreciated by all fourteen of the SSHE host municipalities across Pennsylvania.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Home Rule Borough of Edinboro hereby requests that Senator Earll and Representative John Evans propose legislation that would require the SSHE schools to compensate their host municipalities with an annual payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) for an amount equivalent to 50% of the property taxes the university would have paid if they were a taxable entity.
ADOPTED this 27st day of August, 2007 that the Council of the Home Rule Borough of Edinboro, Erie County, Pennsylvania at its regularly scheduled meeting of August 27, 2007, hereby adopts Resolution 20-2007.
With no objections the amended Resolution 20-2007 passed by 6-0 roll call vote: Gregory Lucas, yes; Clifford Allen, absent; H. Robert Cannell, yes; Robert Cogan, yes; Jean Davis, yes; Dennis Travis, yes; and Mary Ann Horne, yes.
FINANCE:
Minimum Municipal Obligation calculations were in the packets prepared by Mockenhaupt Benefits Group. Mayor Horne explained that the 2008 Police Minimum Municipal Obligation was $140,567; Non Uniformed Employees Pension Plan was $45,971; and the Defined Contribution Retirement Plan was $13,257.
Robert Cogan noted that the unfunded accrued liability was decreasing and the police MMO had decreased slightly. It was a good move in a positive direction. Mayor Horne thanked the Manager for his work on moving the investments to help with this positive direction.
Greg Lucas moved to certify the Minimum Municipal Obligations for 2008 (MMO) and authorize the Manager to sign the MMO’s as presented by Mockenhaupt Benefits Group and Robert Cogan seconded. The motion passed by 6-0 voice vote.
POLICE: Monthly report was available for review. Discussion followed by H. Robert Cannell regarding a comparison to last year and this year.
CODE ENFORCEMENT/PLANNING/ZONING: Report was in the packets for review.
Community Liaisons:
Erie County Planning Liaison: Robert Cannell noted that the Borough Manager and he attended the meeting and they discussed the 6N corridor and he felt the Borough now has the Erie County Planning Commission’s attention.
Authority Liaison: Jean Davis reported that the Water Authority has made another application for the generator at the Air Stripping Tower. It has been denied three times and we are applying again. The wells were checked and they do not need to be airburst at this time. They are checking into the work needed at the air stripping tower.
COMMUNICATIONS:
Letter from Senator Robert P. Casey, Jr was received noting his new office in Erie.
Correspondence from General McLane School District regarding National Incident management System (NIMS) was discussed. Greg Lucas moved adoption of Resolution 18-2007 as follows:
Home Rule Borough of Edinboro
Resolution No. 18-2007
WHEREAS, the Home Rule Borough of Edinboro (Borough) together with the General McLane School District of Erie County, Pennsylvania have implemented the National Incident Management System (NIMS); and
WHEREAS, it is the best interest of the Borough to enter into an “Agreement” providing for the mutual aid and support utilizing all facilities, supplies and/or equipment, if an emergency or disaster is declared; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Council of Home Rule Borough of Edinboro, Erie County, Pennsylvania, hereby enters into a “National Incident management System (NIMS) Mutual Aid Agreement” (Agreement) agreeing to mutually support each other in the event of an emergency utilizing all facilities, supplies and/or equipment and hereby authorizes the Borough Manager to enter into and execute said agreement and to take any and all other steps as may be necessary to accomplish the mutual aid with General McLane School District for the benefit of General McLane School District and the Home Rule Borough of Edinboro.
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Edinboro Council authorizes its Borough Manager to sign the “Agreement” on behalf of the Council.
Adopted this 27th day of August, 2007 that the Council of the Home Rule Borough of Edinboro, Erie County, Pennsylvania at its regularly scheduled meeting of August 27, 2007, hereby adopts Resolution 18-2007.
H. Robert Cannell seconded the motion. Manager Jemetz stated the most important part of this is we would have use of buses in cases of evacuation of retirement facilities in the Borough in an emergency. This cooperation would be a win, win situation for both. With no other discussions the resolution passed by 6-0 roll call vote: Jean Davis, yes; Dennis Travis, yes; Gregory Lucas, yes; Clifford Allen, absent; H. Robert Cannell, yes; Robert Cogan, yes; and Mary Ann Horne, yes.
NEW BUSINESS:
There was no new business.
H. Robert Cannell moved for adjournment, and the meeting was adjourned at 8:15 P.M.
