HOME RULE BOROUGH OF EDINBORO
COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
June 8, 2009
Call to Order:
The following Council members were present: Clifford Allen, Michael Amidon, Greg Lucas, Jean Davis, Dennis Travis, and Mary Ann Horne. Member absent was H. Robert Cannell. Also in attendance was T. Jemetz, Borough Manager; Solicitor Marsh; and Marie Lander, Assistant to the Manager. Guests included: Kathy Amidon; Todd Jay, EUP Athletics; and Amber Wellington of the Edinboro News.
Mayor Horne introduced the minutes from the Regular Council meeting held May 11, 2009. Jean Davis moved for approval of the minutes as printed. Clifford Allen seconded, and the minutes were approved by a voice vote of 6-0.
Mayor Horne welcomed Todd Jay from EUP Athletics who was present regarding his request for road closing permit. The soccer tournament will be the third and forth weekends of June. They will close Perry Lane from the main parking lot at McComb to Darrow Road. Saturday and Sunday are the busiest days and only a few games on Friday night. Coaches are responsible for manning the barricades with walkie talkies.
Clifford Allen asked if they would have road closed a head signage and if Scott Drive would be open. Todd informed them that the tournament has thousands of people and that there would be a road close ahead sign and Scott Drive would remain open.
Clifford Allen also asked if traffic could be controlled by the EUP police when they all leave the university. Todd stated that the games are staggered to eliminate everyone leaving at once and the save on the cost of the police and traffic control.
Councilman Allen stated it would be for the public convenience if a police officer was stationed at 6N and 99 to coordinate traffic movement with Manager Jemetz and the Police Chief. He asked that they again consider this so citizens will not be held hostage in their own town. This is the only time we can discuss this is when the road closing permit comes before Council. Todd Jay stated he would have them consider using fire police in future planning and he would relay this information.
Manager Jemetz stated that they have insurance coverage and they have noted they will have coverage at the barricades.
Clifford Allen moved to authorize the road closing as presented as long as they are properly manned and Michael Amidon seconded. The motion passed by 6-0 voice vote.
Being no others wishing to speak, Mayor Horne moved on to old business.

Enacted and Ordained this ____ day of ________________, 2009.
Discussion followed. Mayor Horne noted that this was an ordinance drafted by a lawyer.
Michael Amidon stated there were too many ordinances. This is not a way to generate revenue.
Clifford Allen informed him it is not general citizens it is for those who place wires in our right of way.
Manager Jemetz also noted that it doesn’t generate revenue it only pays the expenses which in turn is paying back the taxpayers for the time of the Code Enforcement Officer and Manager to administer the right of way.
Clifford Allen stated this is how all municipalities do business.
Jean Davis explained how ordinances were codified every 10 years and reviewed.
Michael Amidon felt the Code Enforcement Officer has fallen asleep on this item.
Jean Davis stated they did all they could to keep order the ordinances.
The Ordinance passed roll call vote of 5-1: H. Robert Cannell, absent; Michael Amidon, no; Jean Davis, yes; Dennis Travis, yes; Gregory Lucas, yes; Clifford Allen, yes; and Mary Ann Horne, yes.
Clifford Allen stated to complete the agenda for the Ordinance Review Committee he requested that Council give comments and review of the recycling/garbage ordinance to the Committee.
Manager Jemetz stated that they had a couple comments from John Groh but he was out on surgery leave.
Mayor Horne stated she like the summary offense instead of a civil offense as discussed last meeting by Manager Jemetz.
Clifford Allen stated they will look at easier ways to give the Code Enforcer the capabilities to monitor and get people to comply. Also renters and homeowner of a rental property need to be notified.
Greg Lucas asked if John Grove would be back on Wednesday and Manager Jemetz stated he would not know until he went to the doctors tomorrow.
Manager Jemetz reported on the sewage plant project progress and currently in dispute on time extensions. Matter regarding Hands and the Erie County Assessment has not been heard as of this date. Advertisement on June 5th for the Willow Street storm sewer Project (CDBG) bids are due June 30th. Geothermal grant for the municipal building is cost prohibitive, since this building uses a low amount of energy and we will look into the sewer plant use of geothermal.
Jean Davis moved to authorize the Manager to sign any grant application documents needed. Greg Lucas seconded.
Discussion followed: Michael Amidon felt other forms of energy efficient options would be more cost effective. Manager Jemetz stated that Geo Thermal makes the most sense in our environment. We have insulation in attic and walls and new windows in the building.
The motion passed by 6-0 voice vote.
Manager Jemetz went on to state nothing new was known about the Aspen Way flooding. Weed spray in the lake took place June 2nd. Life guards are continuing dependent on budget. Grant applied for at Dahlkemper’s office which was same as safe routes to schools has not been awarded. Attorney Marsh is working on a contract for use of the water tower instead of being administered by Utility Services. Bulk water agreement with Washington Township is being worked on by staff before going to Solicitor Marsh for review. Town Gown meeting is June 9th; Lake & Industry audit is June 17th; PLCM is June 24-26; LEMC all day training was June 6th.
Clifford Allen informed Manager Jemetz that PLCM sent him a packet on the resolutions for the Annual Business Meeting that should of went to Mr. Cannell. Marie would contact PLCM. Lit would be in the Assistant to the Manager’s Office until Friday for anyone wishing to review.
Dennis Travis asked about the trees at Edinboro Inn. Wondered it we were going to clean it up. It was noted that we can not direct them to remove stumps only ask.
Michael Amidon stated the Lake was sprayed June 2nd and foam on the west brake wall and dead fish. Manager Jemetz stated that the fish and debris had nothing to due with the spraying. The fish commission thinks it was lack of oxygen. Brian Zimmerman of the Watershed Association felt that the lake flipped with the cold weather and it didn’t mix fast enough causing lack of oxygen for the fish. Michael Amidon asked what would be done about the foam. Manager Jemetz stated it was a natural lake and with the Township plant no longer discharging into it, it is become cleaner water. Mayor Horne stated and too many zebra muscles from the clean water.
Manager Jemetz introduced the two CDBG advertisements for the Willow Street storm sewer project.

COMMUNICATIONS\NEW BUSINESS:
.
Letter from Thomas Mathie addressed to Councilman Allen was received regarding ordinance on trash and summary offence. The Ordinance review committee is reviewing the ordinance presently. He felt that people who are out of town need to be friendly with their neighbors and ask them to help take the trash out.

They could call the office and make a request to leave it out early or leave late because they are out of town. Clifford Allen felt if they had time to call the office they could call their neighbor. This is not to punish but to have a beautification. Mr. Allen would contact Mr. Mathie and thank him for his comments.
