[0:04] It's 6-3. I'd like to call the order of the meeting of the Bureau of Council. Chief, would you lead us in the pledge of the flag?

[0:24] At this

[0:32] point, I'd like to turn the meeting over to our manager, Ray McCutcheon.

[0:37] Okay, we'll do a roll call, Mr. Cartman, Mr. Baleia, Mr. Patassian, Mr. Mahali, Mr.

[0:47] Maureen, Mr. Flasco, Mr. Pendle, Mayor Dixon, we have a forum.

[0:55] Are there any questions?

[0:58] I'd interrupted more on the course of business,

[1:02] that it's relevant to this emotion you have

[1:05] on your agenda tonight, and I think I should say it before you contemplate taking

[1:09] any action. Okay. That's fine. Thank you. If it's alright with you, I'd like to begin

[1:17] by reading a letter that the mayor sent to me this morning. I received it this afternoon.

[1:24] He did send it this morning at 11.10 a.m. I was unable to read it until later in the day,

[1:33] much later in the day, and I sat down and composed this response.

[1:38] Here's a letter to me.

[1:40] I, Rick, I have a question.

[1:43] I've read the burrow codes surrounding council, selecting

[1:46] a replacement for a council person that I'm required by law

[1:52] to square in before they can vote on anything.

[1:58] someone needs to communicate with me about that whether they want to or not because it's

[2:09] been complete radio silence from them for over a month. Also, how are they able to

[2:19] wait this long between appointments? When they found out their appointment failed,

[2:25] also

[2:28] never sworn in by me the way the law reads to me that they have 15 days to

[2:34] complete the appointment where the Court of Common Police has to appoint. Also,

[2:40] how can Mark resign when he was never sworn in? Can you explain it? Can you please

[2:47] explain all of this to me? Thanks, Mayor Dixon. Michael Dixon, Mayor of

[2:53] of Coriopolis. This

[2:56] is a response that I've composed to the mayor, I copied all members of council.

[3:02] This was sent by me at 618 this evening.

[3:08] Fair dicks, I apologize for not responding to you earlier in the day, but I was busy

[3:13] attending the other matters all day. Please forgive me for not being able to get back to you sooner.

[3:19] I hope that you received this before me public meeting at 6.30 p.m. this evening.

[3:25] In any event, my reply to your first comment is that I am unaware of any provision of the

[3:33] birth code that requires the mayor to administer the oath of office to newly elected for appointed

[3:40] council persons.

[3:42] If I have overlooked such a provision, I would appreciate if you would cite that provision

[3:49] I don't believe it is appropriate for me to reply to your comment that there has been radio silence from them for over a month.

[3:59] I respectfully disagree with your apparent opinion that their appointment failed and they have 15 days to complete the appointment or the Court of Common Police has to appoint.

[4:10] One, the provision of the burrow code that I believe is

[4:13] dispositive of this matter is Section 901, which in

[4:21] part

[4:22] provides that in the event of a vacancy occurs in the

[4:25] office of a member of counsel, in any manner whatsoever,

[4:30] the burrow counsel has 30 days to appoint a registered

[4:33] elector, the ward in which the vacancy occurs.

[4:37] In the case of the vacancy, in office that occurs as a

[4:42] result of the resignation of Chad Cranec on June 14, 2023. Council filled that vacancy by appointing Mr. Mark

[4:51] Scholl at the meeting held on July 12, 2023. Unfortunately or not, depending upon the opinion of some,

[5:01] Mr. Scholl discovered that his employment could not permit him to accept the employment and the

[5:06] He advised the Burma manager of that fact on July 19, 2023.

[5:12] It is my opinion that Council took official action to fulfill the aforesaid vacancy

[5:19] within the statutory period of 30 days.

[5:22] It is also my opinion that the motion on the agenda for the meeting scheduled this evening

[5:28] to accept the resignation of Mr. Scholl, is legally appropriate in light of the above described

[5:35] events. Lastly, it is also my opinion that the motion on the agenda for tonight's meeting

[5:41] to fill the vacancy in the third board is timely, as it will presumably occur within the period

[5:50] of 30 days since the vacancy has occurred. In light of the fact that this letter is likely to be

[5:57] received and everyone's mailbox, I would attempt to call Ray McCutchen and alert them that this

[6:04] This letter has been composed and sent on the fly.

[6:08] I will also read it at this meeting, signs sincerely Richard F. Starting.

[6:15] I'm sorry that this matter has been laid out to you at this late time in the meeting.

[6:24] I don't wish to take over the agenda.

[6:27] the council has any questions now of the answer to them now, or later in the meeting

[6:34] if you prefer.

[6:38] It doesn't look like anyone has any questions written.

[6:43] So we'll proceed with the meeting.

[6:45] Thank you.

[6:46] Thank you.

[6:47] Are there any questions from Murrow Council on the agenda?

[6:52] Any questions?

[6:54] Are there any comments from the public regarding agenda items,

[7:01] any comments from the public?

[8:43] we may have varied from it, and I wanted to say this before we got to action of the items.

[8:48] I think the items so far have been sort of routine, but we also have must give Burrow Council

[8:57] residents an opportunity to comment on members on items regarding the agenda and

[9:03] I'm not sure we did that. Yeah I did. Yes we did. Okay thank you. I did

[9:09] this one quick but I did it and I asked twice if there were any comments and

[9:13] okay I'm sorry. That's okay. We received a letter from the county if we wanted to

[9:21] to opt into CDBG grants as we've done previously.

[9:26] This is for a three year period.

[9:30] So this resolution is just to opt in

[9:32] so that we are eligible for the CDBG grants

[13:25] I should just like to give you some and

[13:35] everyone on this board is aware that this is an election

[13:39] year, and elections often cause people to posture themselves, and I'm not accusing

[13:47] anyone of posturing nor am I admitting to it, not denying it sometimes. However, I

[13:56] don't want this to be viewed in a context that it shouldn't. All of the opinions I've expressed

[14:03] tonight, I will stand behind legally. And that's why I went to the task of reading out every

[14:12] point that I did. Sorry, it went on far too long, but it was worth the best of intentions.

[14:23] Be happy to answer any other questions you might have.

[14:29] It doesn't look like anyone has any questions. Thank you, Rhett.

[16:56] balance there.

[16:57] I was for the fire department.

[17:00] That is all I have.

[17:02] Thank you.

[17:02] Thank you, Spencer.

[17:04] Thank you.

[17:04] There's a near report through the whole.

[17:07] All right.

[17:08] Thank you.

[17:08] Good evening.

[17:09] Members of council.

[17:10] You have our monthly reports.

[17:13] Update on the park this month.

[17:16] We're still ongoing.

[17:17] It's coming to a finish here.

[17:19] We do have an invoice submitted this evening from CXT Incorporated.

[17:26] That was the restroom provider provided to the co-stores last month who

[17:32] authorized 90% of that this month. They're requesting to release the

[17:36] retainage. We feel that would be appropriate. That is attached, that is CXT

[17:44] be incorporated in the amount of $21,488 would be appropriate to make a motion for approval if council is so moved.

[17:56] Motion.

[17:59] Second.

[18:02] Mr. Boledo made a motion, Mr. Carderman's second.

[18:05] Yeah. Questions?

[18:07] Questions. Nothing's being held back.

[18:09] Nothing's being held back from this.

[18:15] The co-stars contracts operate a little bit differently.

[18:18] They don't have the teeth that the other contracts have.

[18:22] It does come with the one-year warranty.

[18:24] The general contract for the site is responsible for the hookups.

[18:29] 18 month maintenance bond, what's the time they get final payments.

[18:32] So you do have coverage on the final connections.

[18:35] The connections haven't been made yet.

[18:37] They're not not yet.

[18:38] Correct.

[18:39] Okay,

[18:42] we'll do a roll call vote.

[18:44] Mr. Carterman?

[18:45] Yes.

[18:46] Mr. Baleia?

[18:47] Yes.

[18:47] Mr. Patassie?

[18:48] Yes.

[18:49] Mr. Mahali? Yes. Mr. Marine? Yes. Mr. Flasko? Yes. Motion carries.

[18:57] 2023 road program that work started here this week is underway and they're

[19:02] moving forward.

[19:05] Main Street road reconstruction last month we talked

[19:10] contractor did provide a opinion of a professional that they engaged to

[19:15] complete the ceiling contract are opted to complete that ceiling at no cost to

[19:21] the borough that was completed this past Friday. They did submit a request to

[19:27] release that retainage. That will trigger 18 month maintenance bond period. We

[19:34] will and have advise them that we'll monitor this over the 18 month period and let

[19:40] them know if anything unfolds. You do have partial payment requests number seven, and that

[19:48] is to a valley construction corporation. They requested the outstanding retainer to

[19:53] the amount of $27,625. We would recommend that if council is so moved.

[20:04] If you need a motion to make payment number seven to a valley corporation, which is final

[20:09] final payment. Yes. Thank you.

[20:14] So move for the bar of

[20:16] engineering recommendation. Second.

[20:21] Any other questions?

[20:24] Okay,

[20:25] we'll call both. Mr. Cardamon. Yes. Mr. Baleia. Yes. Mr. Patasi. Yes. Mr.

[20:31] Mahali. Yes. Mr. Marine. Yes. Mr. Plaska. Yes. That motion carries.

[20:39] Skipping forward a couple items. A ridge avenue taught a lot. I'm not sure we talked

[20:43] talked about this last month, the contractor at Coast Archipelagoza was authorized at the

[20:50] July meeting. That contractor did a rise of a 16 week lead time. They're projecting

[20:56] November delivery given the timing of the year. They're suggesting likely spring for installation,

[21:03] rubberized surface and care time and appropriate weather to do so. So right now, if nothing

[21:10] changes, they're looking at spring installation. No change on the GDF, the TF grant,

[21:20] Cognitive Vise, we should expect the agreement to be executed here in the next

[21:24] week. And we did do a field survey to check the property. Field portion was

[21:32] completed. We closed the map on that and we can set the property corners once that's

[21:38] done.

[21:41] Skipping forward to grant applications new this month the local share

[21:46] account LSA grant is back open accepting applications from September 1st in

[21:52] November 30th discussing with the manager likely looking at the salt storage

[21:58] facility resummit for that one that's a no-match program CDBG that is back as well

[22:07] pre-applications are due September 8th. We'll review some options there, likely some

[22:15] apartments is at the park potentially for picnic tables and accessory type structures

[22:21] of sort. And GEDTF that is open again, accepting applications from the first to the 22nd. So

[22:30] So we'll talk to the manager, what the pros are looking to submit.

[22:34] I would expect a resolution on that program for consideration next month.

[22:41] So we do have a workshop before the 8th, we have a seating machine, so we can talk about

[22:49] possible demos that we want to do.

[22:52] They've denied a couple of them on tour street this year, so.

[22:57] So the nine.

[22:59] If we didn't get, so I don't do.

[23:01] Demons haven't been successful for the past three years, maybe.

[23:07] Is that the two houses that are over the hillside from Montor?

[23:15] Under developments, we did a variety of couple updates.

[23:20] Those are a patch for your reading pleasure of note.

[23:25] Mr. Payne's site development.

[23:27] He did the county approval here in the past month,

[23:31] and we do have a response with some pretty minor items attached for your reference.

[23:38] A new item there for no street opening permits, we've tracked a couple current permits here,

[23:45] one really one response in particular, that response is attached to kind of frame out particular items

[23:51] that were requesting from those contractors that again, that's attached for your reading pleasure for any questions.

[24:01] that's now. And under the water sewer authority, pretty much status quo there. However, I'll

[24:09] note for the MS4 program, you typically have the annual report due in September, so we'll

[24:15] want to get the training scheduled for next month. Everybody's figured. Training. So with

[24:23] that, that's all I have this month. That's just any questions.

[24:27] Thank you, Drew.

[24:29] Thank you.

[24:29] Mayor Dixon.

[24:33] Thank you. Just wanted to cover a couple of the events that

[24:36] happened in town over the last month. This past Saturday was National

[24:40] Night Out. It went really well. We had great attendance. We had a lot of different

[24:46] groups that attended it and let it kind of give them a shout out. Thanks to the

[24:50] Cory Oples Police and the Cory Oples Volunteer Fire Department. We really

[24:54] appreciate your participation. The Ohio Township Police Department, the

[24:59] the Neville Island Volunteer Fire Department,

[25:02] District Attorney Stephens Appala,

[25:04] Senator Devlin Robinson,

[25:06] Judge Michelle Santa Cola,

[25:09] Valley Ambulance, Stat Medevac,

[25:11] Pennsylvania State Police, Cornell High School,

[25:13] and of course, the Pennsylvania Emergency Response Center

[25:16] for Organizing the Event.

[25:18] This Saturday, August 12th,

[25:20] from 11 to 3 p.m. in the middle of town

[25:22] is gonna be Coriopolis' first Latin festival

[25:25] sponsored by the Coriopolis Development Corporation,

[25:27] And then also at noon to three at Bly was field is the back to school bash sponsored by the Coriopolis youth creations.

[25:35] That's all I have.

[25:37] Thank you, Mayor.

[25:41] Committee reports, Mr. Flasco. I have nothing report tonight, right?

[25:45] Thank you. Mr. Mojale?

[25:47] Yes, I just like to mention, I wanted to thank the public works department and the authority,

[25:53] be perfecting nearly eight. They picked up the stones that washed down from the last

[26:00] big rain that we had. And then they put a cold patch on top. The two departments working

[26:08] together worked out very well. And it looks good. And it saves us from getting that contract

[26:16] try to come up there and fix it.

[26:19] I also like to thank Chief Seminetti

[26:22] and the Shatory Committee from the Flores.

[26:25] They hooked up on this.

[26:30] But now I have nothing.

[26:32] Thank you, Mr. Mahalli.

[26:34] Mr. Bolivian.

[26:35] I have nothing this evening.

[26:37] Thank you.

[26:37] Thank you for the card.

[26:38] Yeah, I met this week with Len Smith

[26:42] about the continued speeding problem on Line Street,

[26:45] main street. We've come up with a couple ideas. I was trying to implement before the school

[26:50] seat, the school year start, both Olsh and Cornell. The proposal was to post curve and turn

[27:00] ahead signs with Chevron's to call attention to that dangerous curve on Vine Street approximately

[27:05] 600 feet north of Edgwood Avenue in Vine and to install some pavement markings. Also legends

[27:12] like slow curve, to try to slow people down and curve that, see how that works.

[27:17] There are also a couple other items that we talked about that I'm going to get better

[27:21] pricing on.

[27:22] But for some basic signage right now, I'd like to ask council's permission to buy some

[27:28] of those chevron signs and the tarned curve ahead signs for the cost not to exceed $1,500.

[27:37] So I have a motion.

[27:39] Yeah.

[27:40] I'll make that motion.

[27:42] I'll second.

[27:43] Any

[27:53] questions? All in favor?

[27:57] All right.

[27:59] Opposed?

[28:01] And that's all I have to see.

[28:03] Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

[28:05] Vice President Marine.

[28:07] So quick update on parking.

[28:09] At the last meeting in July, we had shared that we scheduled

[28:13] the next public meeting for Thursday, August 3rd.

[28:17] The topic is going to be the output proposal recommendations

[28:22] from the consultant. Since then, in the committee speaking with the consultant, we felt that they still needed to

[28:31] populate some additional data and present us some more robust financials before we felt prepared to bring that forward to a public meeting.

[28:41] And again, it's a priority to us that we want to ensure that we have adequate time to advertise and schedule that meeting.

[28:46] So, it has been, it didn't happen on Thursday, August 3rd, and a date is still to be determined,

[28:53] but we will announce that over the Borough website, Savvy Citizen, and other platforms.

[29:01] So, that's that update, that's all I have.

[29:04] Thank you.

[29:06] Thank you, Alison, Mr. Potasi.

[29:09] Thank you, Ray.

[29:10] George, thank you for the compliment.

[29:11] Appreciate it.

[29:14] I just wanted to say that the summer reading program at the library was a total success.

[29:19] A lot of people showed up, it was good to see the parents, a lot of parents brought

[29:22] their children there to enjoy what they had for them.

[29:25] So it's good to see that everybody could reach out and take advantage of what the library

[29:29] asked off of you.

[29:31] And that's all I have.

[29:33] Thank you, Mr. President.

[29:34] Thank you.

[29:35] I spoke enough tonight.

[29:37] So comments from the public.

[29:40] You know what?

[29:42] I'm very glad.

[29:43] We get three minutes to comment. Council does not have the answer and they do not have any questions.

[29:56] Any comments?

[30:00] Please state your name and address. Hi, I'm Alexandra Baker. I own 719 Vine Street. And first I want to start out. Thank you, Mr. Carteman, for taking the time to consider the dangerous curve there. I just wanted to request that we also have some increased patrols there for speeders. They're blowing through the stop signs. My son is blind, and I really like to have him not hit by a car.

[30:29] That's all I would say. Thanks.

[30:31] Thank you.

[30:35] Thanks all.

[30:35] Daniel, I've done 13-18 Vance Avenue.

[30:39] First, I'd just like to say thank you to Chief Spencer.

[30:41] I was one of those fires this past month.

[30:43] It was pretty scary to have smoke coming out from behind your walls.

[30:46] You don't know where it is.

[30:47] You too, Rob.

[30:48] It's good to see you in there.

[30:50] Second of all, I'd like to bring attention to the message

[30:54] of this community is putting forward.

[30:55] It's just so fantastic with that thing we had this weekend.

[30:58] You know, having a helicopter land on the field and hanging out with the cops and just being part of the community is something something special around here.

[31:04] So I encourage everybody who's listening to, you know, participate in that. Maybe we can make it something next year that's really phenomenal and really stands out about our community coreapolis makes coreapolis special.

[31:16] The third thing I have is a little bit more of a question. Maybe you guys can talk on it. Maybe you don't want to talk on it tonight.

[31:21] But, you know, I'm an attorney and I still don't understand the process of what happens

[31:24] when someone resigns, right before an election and we have someone else going up.

[31:28] So I appreciate you Richard start there explaining that to the community a little bit and reading

[31:34] that out.

[31:36] You know, because Chad just kind of stepped down and we don't have anybody and, you know, there's

[31:42] some kind of feeling I guess from the community that, you know, we don't have a vote through

[31:48] that next person is. And so I think that it's important that we communicate that to the

[31:53] audience and speak up and make sure that everybody understands what's going on and understands

[31:58] the process. So I can give you a little bit there.

[32:00] Make sure. I'll set that down. So Chad, you can stand. So Chad actually

[32:04] moved out of the courier office. So once you move out of your ward, you have to resign.

[32:10] The appointment is a political appointment. It has nothing to do with the public. Council

[32:15] It also gets to a point whenever they feel is responsible for a person in that ward that

[32:21] isn't, they have to be on the election or they have to vote or something, right Rick?

[32:26] Is that how it goes?

[32:27] So that's right.

[32:29] And they're a limited pool of people.

[32:31] And basically it's all public election.

[32:33] So if it happens before 60 days prior to the November election, then names will go on the ballot.

[32:41] So then people will get the vote to fill this two-year seat.

[32:46] So if it would have happened November 1st, then the employment would have been for the

[32:52] rest of the chat's term.

[32:54] But since it happened early, then this is only a temporary seat until January 1st.

[33:00] I appreciate that.

[33:01] You reminded me of last thing.

[33:03] On these agenda's too, and this was part of the reason why it first started coming down here years ago,

[33:07] is we have the motions that have the specific dollar amounts.

[33:09] But sometimes the other motions get passed in there. So I would like to see you know moving forward

[33:14] Just hold you guys to account to make sure that those dollar amounts are always in there

[33:17] Whether it's after the fact because things come up on the fly

[33:19] But make sure that they're always in those minutes so we can so I know Drew like those two I know I'm putting them on

[33:26] Today, that's all just so we get paid for them. No, we're not gonna wait 30 days to pay. I appreciate as long as it's online after the fact

[33:33] Yes

[33:47] 800 main street

[33:49] It's like to read a little state but

[33:53] As per Mr. Schulf's statement, the borough manager approached him for the vacant third-ward

[33:57] council position.

[33:59] It seems to me that the borough manager is personally soliciting people for council

[34:04] membership, and it's ironic that the manager's person informed the borough manager directly

[34:10] of his inability to take the seat, not the council president and not the solicitor.

[34:15] This council boasts to employ the manager and determines his wages, so I would think that he should not be involved in a vacancy selection.

[34:26] I'm here to state that this is an unethical behavior or our entire council to entertain the manager's recommendation.

[34:33] Our manager works for the council. It's not the opposite.

[34:36] it. So I'll answer. Thank you. Mr. Harris, I was on the question rate. I was a statement.

[34:42] No, no need to answer. It's a statement. I'm allowed to read again. You can make the statement.

[34:47] I'm allowed to ask you a question. It's crooked, brother. Yeah. And you're on Facebook. Bad enough

[34:52] of me. You better watch yourself. What do you want to do? Eat me up. All right, right? But you're

[34:58] wrong. I'm not wrong. I've been in town. I'm at 60 years. I know people. I know more

[35:04] 150 you know right Mark show was would have been much better council person you ever would be okay. Thanks, right

[35:12] You're welcome. He made the state

[35:15] You approached him. He was not actively looking

[35:19] He

[35:22] would have been your boss determined your wage for three months. Yeah, it doesn't matter. How

[35:36] It's enough you're unethical promoting

[35:49] emotion for adjournment so moved

[35:51] seconds
