establishes the conduct protocol for borough council meetings.
Uh I think most of you have been here before. There is no profanity, there's
no screaming. Uh please wait to be recognized. Uh
please direct all your comments to borough council, not to other members of
the public. And a reminder, this is not American Gladiators, this is a public
borough council meeting. So, please everybody be on your best behavior, all
right? Anyone recording the meeting is asked to
announce so at this time in accordance with resolution number 875. The borough
will be recording this for the purpose of putting it on the website. Uh is
anybody else, either in person or online, recording tonight's meeting?
All right, it doesn't look like it. And just as a warning, uh if there's a hot
topic issue, impromptu recording may happen.
Um a reminder that public comment is a time to bring comments to council, not a
time for questions and answers. If you have questions or concerns, please
contact the bureau administrative office during the week.
Uh and then please visit the bureau's website calendar regularly for updates
on upcoming community events. And then uh Scott, can I turn over to you?
» I just I had that one another announcement that I asked you about. Um
I just want to let everybody know that CRC Watersheds uh was here last week for
a maintenance event to um to tend to the trees that they that have been planted
behind Quan Park. Um they've been a great partner for us in terms of doing
restoration work um in in that area. So, if um just we're
thankful that they were out here maintaining the trees and if anybody is
interested in um volunteering with them, you can go to
CRC Watersheds, their website.
» All right, thank you, Mr. President. So, Borough Council met in executive session
immediately prior to this evening's meeting.
Uh all members of council were present along with the mayor. Uh the topics
discussed were the collective bargaining agreement um
McShane, the lawsuit of McShane versus Malvern Borough, Chester County CCP
2026-05649
-MJ, uh the lawsuit of LaRusso versus Malvern
Borough, uh Chester County CCP 2026-06374-MJ,
and council discussed other agency business
uh subject to a privilege uh being the attorney-client privilege.
» All right, thank you. Uh next let's move on to approval of the agenda. I'd like
to uh approve the agenda with agenda with the
amendment uh that I guess it is uh
under council business uh motion C. Uh this would be for Ms. O'Donnell to fill
a full term uh of the uh library board. So, uh do I
have a motion to approve the agenda as amended?
» So moved. >> Have a second?
» Second. >> All in favor?
» Aye. >> All right. Next up, we have a
presentation from the Malvern Public Library.
Welcome.
Uh push the red the button till the light turns on.
» Hello. Okay. Hi. Good evening. My name is Caitlin O'Donnell. I am hopefully
tonight going to be approved as a board member for the Malvern Public Library. I
have in the past served with the library as a member at large.
And so tonight I am here to represent Justine. She's off in East Goshen
tonight doing a similar presentation. But she just had some really wonderful
updates for everybody about the library at the
end of the summer. So, thank you. All right. So, this is
just our numbers just that Malvern is contributing, let's see,
we have about burrow contributes about 10% of our funding.
We are working very hard since I guess just the last several years on
fundraising now that our renovation is done.
And then you can kind of see the breakdown if so interested in the other
municipalities.
But as far as the burrow, we guys have provided about 30 $39,000 in 2025.
We have about 1800 cardholders within the Malvern burrow.
This past year we had about 26,000 materials checked out through the
library which Justine kind of broke down on an average cost that saved patrons
about $519,000. And that's just print materials, that's
not including you know the space and online resources.
So, we're very happy with those numbers. And
as you'll see, Um, we have continuously since 2023,
we've had great increases in our visitors, uh, the numbers walking
through our doors and our patrons. I think, uh, we've had a 26% increase
since 2023 and we're projecting that much more growth in the next year.
There we go. Okay. Um, so same thing, we have an increase from 2023 in our
checkouts. Um, so we've gone from 89,000 in 2023 to over 100,000 checkouts, um,
expected this year, which again, that's all through, um, print materials and our
online resources as well.
And then summer reading, we've had a 171%
increase in zero to 12-year-olds registered. Um, this summer was super
successful. We've had 340 four kids signed up. Um, our teens and adults kind
of average the same, but they did a phenomenal job. I don't know if anybody
saw, but we had the badges this summer, um, and all sorts of different
activities that everybody, all the staff really did a great job in supporting our
kids and and teens and even the adults this year.
And then coming soon, so we have a trivia night coming up, um, in late
September on the 26th, our book sale, which is always great and run by the
friends of the Malvern Library. That's coming up, um, in the first weekend in
October, the 2nd and the 3rd. And then we also have pints with a purpose. So
this was a fundraiser that we did for the first time last year at Locust Lane,
uh, and we raised $12,000 uh, with them. So we're hoping to have
another great turnout, so save the date. That's September 30th.
Um, it's a really great event. And then we
also have our second bingo, um, night. So this I think is going to be an
afternoon event, um, but we're doing them at the Malvern Retreat House. We
did one in May which raised about $6,000.
It was a really fun event. We had table decorating contest and it was great
turnout. So we hope if you're interested to see you there and we thank you for
your continued support. >> All right, thank you very much.
Does any member of council have any questions?
» Any questions? >> No, I think you guys are doing a great
job and congratulations on all the hard work you've done and you know, since the
renovations have taken place, I'm kind of blown away and you know, everything
that you guys provide now and even the record player room, I think is one of
the coolest things that a library could do. So well done.
» Thank you. >> All right, with that let's move on to
public comment and just so that everyone's aware
items A and B under council business, so the sale of 209 Old Lincoln Highway as
well as the zoning hearing board sending the
solicitor there on August 24th, I will open those up to public comment. So for
right now, you can make public if you'd like to
talk on those topics, please wait for that to occur, but other than that if
you have public comment on things that don't occur on the agenda or occur on
some of the other items, you may make those comments now. Scott,
did you want to add anything? >> I would just add I mean under the
Sunshine Act Borough Council in its discretion take all public
comment at the beginning of the meeting. Typically, what council has done when an
item appears for the first time on a on a public agenda at the second meeting,
you will allow public comment at the time that the matter is being
considered. So that's what we're doing. >> Okay.
So with that said, would anybody care to actually have a number of people who
have signed signed up. Mr. Taylor, would you care to speak
regarding the fire department and EMS?
» [clears throat]
» Good evening. Thanks for the opportunity to speak. For a long time I think those
of us in fire and EMS assumed people understood what these services were
worth. We assumed people understood what it
cost to have >> Can you speak into the microphone?
» Is that better? >> Yes.
» I thought I had a pretty big mouth. We've assumed people understood what it
cost to have a fire truck or ambulance staffed and ready at 2:00 in the
afternoon and at 2:00 in the morning. But there's something we need to explain
better. What you're paying for isn't simply an ambulance ride or a fire truck
responding to a call. You're paying for readiness.
You're paying for the ambulance sitting in the station when nobody needs it.
You're paying for the firefighter EMT or paramedic at the station at 3:00 in the
morning. Probably drinking terrible coffee waiting for a call we hope never
comes. You're paying for cardiac monitors,
medications, protective equipment, training, and communication systems that
must be maintained and ready every single day. Most importantly, you're
paying for the people.
You're paying so that when someone's ordinary Tuesday suddenly becomes the
worst day of their life, someone comes. When someone has a heart attack, when a
child can't breathe, when a family wakes up to smoke in their home, when someone
is trapped in a vehicle, someone comes. Fire and EMS are more than individual
emergency calls. We are health care. We are public safety infrastructure. We are
fire suppression, emergency medical care, rescue, disaster response, and a
safety net that exists 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
But readiness has a cost. Apparatus, ambulance, medical equipment,
insurance, fuel, maintenance, training, and personnel all continue to become
more expensive. At the same time, the traditional volunteer system is
changing. Fewer people are available to volunteer, requiring departments to
increasingly rely on rely on career personnel to make sure someone is there
when you call. An ambulance without a crew cannot treat
a patient. A fire truck without firefighters cannot put out a fire.
Readiness requires people, equipment, training, and sustain- sustainable
funding. We need funding models that recognize communities aren't simply
paying for individual calls. They're supporting an emergency response
system that must be ready every minute of every day. And we in fire and EMS
need to do a better job of telling that story.
We cannot wait until someone's house is on fire to explain why the fire
department matters. We cannot wait until someone's loved one is having a heart
attack to explain why a paramedic matters.
And we cannot talk about talk until there's a financial crisis to talk about
sustainable funding. Because ultimately, this isn't about
funding an ambulance or fire truck. It's about funding the promise that when you
call for help, someone will be there to answer. And that is the promise worth
protecting. Thank you.
» Thank you, Mr. Taylor.
Do we have questions?
» Uh this is just public comment. Um next up, uh Mr. Buckley. Did you care
to make public comment?
» All right. I want to thank you for the time to talk. First of all, I want to
thank the fire company for the work they do. I want to thank the library. And um
if you want to make a donation, not just some give the um fire company
some more and give the um library some if you got it when you can.
Okay, let's get started with me. I'm out here to burn bridge. I want to
thank you all for coming out here tonight.
All right. Uh where we at? We're going to have to
do something at the bridge
because a kid's going to get hit there or something.
The and the motorbikes in this town are getting to be outrageous.
On my way up here to the meeting, somebody was crossing there and the lady
almost got hit walking. She said, "Do you see that?" I don't know how she knew
my name. She said, "You're Johnny." And yeah, I said, "Well, I'll say something
to me." Because
they're riding the motor on sidewalk. They're coming in the wild wild going up
way up on the sidewalk. And I'm not going to get in more
details. I'm just saying we got to start enforcing something about them.
They come down Church Street and go way through intersections and stuff.
I'm big on safety with the kids. Okay, the next thing
I want to know how we're doing about the traffic light at the bridge.
I know I'm not going to get no answer nothing on this.
But it's time to put that light there. I don't know why this bird won't want it
if they can get it there. Cuz my state reps and I'm talking to them every week
and there's just the safety issue that would help put in a problem at the
bridge because people's going through there. I almost got hit in the butt
yesterday, I think. I walking in the crosswalk. This person waved me across
and around they were coming around the bridge wasn't even looking. I was just
about on the Pike side
from King Street side across over there. I almost got hit.
I don't care if they hit me. You won't have me around here. Just
staying up and you'll be glad to have that.
Okay, um
Okay. We have a um orders
um that when you do something in the
neighborhood you have to post orders in the window
cuz I know fact cuz I haven't been having work in. I have to put the orders
sign up. We're going to have to get a new one when they come back to do stuff.
But 162 Church Street 156 Church Street been doing a lot of
work inside. It's right across the street from me.
And the next one's a double, not the second one, but the next one.
I can't understand why ain't no permit. I thought pretty sure in the orders you
have to post it where somebody can see it. Okay.
Uh next Yeah, permits on the windows. Next Um these sidewalks are very bad.
I see people falling up town. I see them on Woodland Avenue very badly. Um
especially my street. I fell, too. And on that side and that side. And
if we got a code enforcer that's come out and do the job.
Because he comes out to get me. Why can't he get these other things?
Uh
And then on the historic committee down below here on the bulletin board
are we allowed post ours, um, advertising for our business and stuff?
Because if I had I'm going to advertise for me to cut grass.
Thumbs up. >> All right. Thank you for your comment,
Mr. Buckley. I I noticed that on this uh sign-up form
there's a lot of individuals who like to speak to uh us sending the solicitor to
the August 24th zoning hearing board meeting. Uh for those of you uh
do any of you want to speak now or can we wait till we get to that portion of
the agenda? You're comfortable with that? Okay,
thank you. With that said, uh does anybody else care to make public
comment? Uh Miss McShane?
» Hello. Good evening.
Good evening to council, mayor. Um
Oh, Stacy McShane Pettyjohn, 139 Church Street.
Um I want to speak on two things. The first one is that
uh the first one is Defer Mar. Uh it was uh conditionally approved
through planning. Um I do just want to mention um
how important requiring a traffic and pedestrian safety evaluation covering
the right-of-way, sidewalks, crosswalks, emergency access, and sight distance.
that evaluation must be thorough, transparent,
and completed to the engineer's satisfaction before
again, before say it one more time, before
final plans are recorded or permits are issued. Residents have raised these
safety concerns for a long time. Please listen to the conditions
that planning put on this approval. Uh next is the sign ordinance, ordinance
2025-04 in chapter 139.
Um >> [clears throat]
» they restrict signs for the parks and related fields.
Um however, uh
I'm seeing cars, property maintenance, and others uh that remain posted there
that have been there for at least 6 months. Those signs do not appear to
qualify for the narrow temporary event exception.
These same rules uh seem to be applied unevenly
when signs were being placed out trying to gather or at least notify the public
and the community about things that may be going on, being voted on, ordinances,
etc. And all of a sudden this ordinance was passed.
Uh all of a sudden it was heavily enforced. And now it seems like it's
not. So, I'm just asking if it could be applied evenly.
Um I ask council to apply the ordinance consistently. Um and possibly to explain
the basis for allowing those signs while restricting other signs.
Um The other thing that I do is I also want
to thank everybody for the community day. I think it was I I know the weather
was iffy, but I still think it was a good success and I want to thank you for
that. I also want to thank our fire department and our police department and
I can't stress that enough as somebody who has a special needs kid within the
first year of his life where he almost didn't make it past his first year of
life. Um thank you guys were there no less than 14 times. So I can't stress
that enough. Um every second seems like an hour to
these families. Thank you. >> Thank you for coming.
Uh would anyone else care to make public comment?
All right, let's move on then. Um
Borough Council subcommittees, uh do I have a uh a motion to approve
the minutes of the regular meeting held on July 21st as presented?
» I'll move. >> I'll second.
» Second. >> All in favor?
» I. >> I.
» Motion passes. Do I have a motion to approve the minutes of the workshop
meeting held on August 4th as presented? >> So moved.
» Second. >> All in favor?
» I. >> I.
» Uh do I have a motion to approve the treasurer's report, the subcommittee
report for finance and administration, public safety, and public works, as well
as the chief of police report, code enforcement department report, and
interim superintendent of public works report for July 2026 as submitted?
» I'll move. >> All in favor?
» I. >> I.
» All right, uh let's move on to council business.
Uh let's discuss and we will open this up
to public comment, uh the bid for the sale of the
209 Old Lincoln Highway. Scott, would you care to speak to this?
» Thanks, Mr. President. So, um the borough uh
solicited by public notice
uh sealed bids for the purchase of the real estate at 209 Old Lincoln Highway.
Uh the bid period closed Thursday, July 30, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. And the bids were
the bid was opened thereafter at or about 4:30. The
uh bureau received one bid. Um the
bid price was $80,000.
There was a proposed or a uh suggested addendum, which contained an escalation
clause um in the event there were additional
bids. Uh
but since there weren't any uh the escalation clause uh would not have
kicked in. Uh and the offer to purchase is $80,000.
Um the bureau obtained an appraisal for the property
in uh October of 2025. The appraised value per that appraisal
was $195,000. Uh so
uh as of now, we have a bid for 80 with an appraised value of 195. In the bid
package we announced to prospective bidders and the community at large the
council would consider whatever bids uh were received and make a determination
this evening whether to accept or reject uh any
uh of the bids. So, it is for council tonight to
determine whether it would like to accept or whether it would like to um
move to reject the one bid received. >> Uh I don't know how the rest of you
feel, but I'm personally of the mindset that we should reject the bid. It's less
than half of what we were uh the property was appraised for. Uh
and I see no harm in holding on to it for a little bit longer if we feel in
the future we can get a more a bid that more accurately reflects what
we were expecting the value of the property to be.
» So, I'll make the motion that we would reject the bid.
» All right. Any other comments from council before
uh I take a second
and open up to public. >> I I agree with you.
» Okay. Uh so, can I have a second on that and then I'll open up to public comment?
All right. So, I have a motion and a second.
Um Would anybody care to make public
comment? Mr. Buckley, I see your hand is up.
And this is regarding the sale of 209 Old Lincoln Highway. Okay?
» Um Don't take to change to figure it out.
They want that property cheap and he's going to end up building three or four
houses along there. But I
you know. And Well, we we only get one bid.
I think we should increase it to three bids
before we even make a decision. Because one bid, that's not it. You
know, come on, let's be real. And let these people cuz they pay taxes,
we ain't getting nothing in return, but our taxes are high. Thank you.
» All right, thank you. And just for the record, we would have accepted many,
many bids. We would have preferred that. We just happened to get only one. So, I
think there's a little confusion around how the process works.
Uh would anyone else care to make public comment regarding 209 Old Lincoln
Highway? Ms. McShane?
» Hello again. Stacey McShane Pettyjohn, 139 Church.
Um this is mostly just say that I'm on the record. I understand it sounds like
you're leaning towards rejecting it. I just have to go on the record with
saying um that if you were voting to accept the bid tonight, it does risk
clouding the title and could cause later result in the sale
being unwound because of uh docket number 202605649MJ,
which is and also includes the motion for the preliminary injunction. So
again, I understand it sounds like you're rejecting it. I just need to go
on the record with saying that. I also um
think you should formally object to it and I as a plaintiff formally object to
any acceptance of the bid tonight. Thank you.
» Yeah, would you care to speak to that? >> Uh well, so typically the borough
doesn't make public comment on pending litigation. Um
I I guess what I would say is uh
if the council determines to reject the bid this evening,
then aside from the lack of merit that the case has already, the case now would
then be moot. Um and then if council would decide to
accept the bid, then yeah, we would have to go uh to
Judge Binder on an emergency basis uh to address
um the alleged merits of the pending case.
» All right, fair enough. All right, would anyone else care to
make public comment? All right, so I have a motion second.
All in favor to reject the bid uh for 209 Olding Highway.
» I. >> I.
» All right, motion passes. Uh next up uh
uh to This would be a motion to authorize this sending of our borough
solicitor to the zoning hearing board on Monday, August 24th. Um Scott, would you
care to speak to this? >> I will.
» So uh briefly um so the matter is uh involves the
property at 117 123 Monument Avenue. Um
the borough zoning officer issued a notice of violation on June 12th of 2026
to the owner of that property for violations of a series of um
sections of the borough ordinance related to uh providing off-street
parking on the subject property for use conducted on a separate property, for
increasing the amount of impervious coverage on the subject property, and
some other, uh, violations. Uh, the owner has filed an appeal to the zoning
hearing board. That matter is now scheduled for, um, Monday, August 24th.
Um, so, for your purposes tonight, you have to decide whether you want to send,
uh, the solicitor, likely me,
um, to the hearing to represent the borough,
and to assist the zoning officer with the presentation of the borough's case
against the owner. I note, so, this matter before the
zoning hearing board is an appeal, and since the borough issued the notice of
violation, um, the borough will have the initial
burden of proof, meaning the borough goes first.
Um, it's not where you have the landowner filing an
application for a variance, and then the landowner has the initial
burden of proof, and it might, you know, shift to an objector if they meet their
burden. Um, so, [clears throat] uh, that's kind of where we are. It's an
enforcement action with an appeal. Uh, we're not getting into the merits
tonight. I'm certainly willing to field questions to the extent I'm able, but
what I'm not going to do is disclose my legal
theories, um,
because that happens Monday night. And, you know, it's a strategy and
mental impression thing. Yeah, right.
Um, in the past when, I mean, we've had a few of these enforcement actions in
the past, council has authorized to send the solicitor.
» All right, so, do we have any, uh, comments or questions from council? I
personally am in favor of sending solicitor, uh, uh, on the borough's
behalf in front of the zoning hearing board.
Uh, does anybody else have any comments or thoughts?
» I would agree with that. >> Okay.
Uh, >> Well, I I would agree with it, too, but
I'd like to hear from some of the neighbors and how it's going to impact
their lives. Hasn't been impacting them. >> Agreed. And we have a number of
individuals who signed up for public comment. I'll probably make a
take a motion a second and then I'll open up for public comment if everyone's
all right. So, with that, do I have a motion?
» I'll make a motion. >> Do I hear a second? [clears throat]
» Second. >> All right. Let me go through
the individuals who signed up to for public comment and then for those who
I'll open it up again for those who haven't signed up. So,
I'll start with Mr. Dave Burton. Can I make public comment?
Uh, just can you use the microphone so that it gets picked up on the recording?
» Hi, everyone. Uh, Dave Burton, 19 Powhatan Avenue. Uh,
we I'm here to and my wife, too, support sending a solicitor
for fairly important situation with a
residential property being basically misused and abused in a commercial way.
So, that's all. Just send a solicitor.
» Thank you. Uh, next up,
Mrs. Linda Burton. Okay.
For those who couldn't hear, she's in agreement with her husband, for once,
right? Uh,
Uh, next up, we have Dale Levin.
» Good evening, everybody. Thank you for obviously making this move quickly since
last time I was here. Um, obviously I want the solicitor there
to represent the bureau and to take care of this problem. Also,
if you need anything from me and my wife because we're the ones who get affected
the most because we're right next door. Uh we have lots of pictures of
all the from the inception till now and everything that took place over the last
18 months, 2 years that led up to this. All right. Thanks, guys. Please send us
a listener. >> All right. Thank you.
Uh next up, Kelly Levin.
» I'm right next door to 117. So, um
I see exactly what's going on there. I'd like to thank everybody for giving me
the chance to speak tonight. And um this is about again, the uh solicitor being
able being approved so that he can come and represent the bureau. Um council
should authorize the bureau solicitor to attend and present on behalf of the
bureau and zoning officer. The bureau needs legal counsel to
present. It just wouldn't be fair or balanced for
the bureau's position to go undefended when legal claims are being made against
the zoning officer's determination. The solicitor can help ensure that the
bureau's zoning laws are accurately explained and that the board that the
board has a complete legal record before making a decision.
Malvern zoning laws exist to protect residential neighborhoods, green space,
quality of life, and fairness for all property owners.
When violations are challenged, the bureau should not leave residents to
defend the public interest on their own. A minimal fine should not become an
acceptable cost of doing business if the result is long-term harm to the
neighbors and to the neighborhood. This is what has impacted our
neighborhood. The green space that once contributed to
the beauty and the character of our neighborhood
has been removed and replaced by a parking lot.
Residents now see a parking lot and the Liberty gas station sign instead of the
former green buffer. The increased noise from trucks and cars
coming and going, bright headlights, vehicle traffic, and business activity
now occur on this residential property 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
Multiple businesses operate their vehicles from this site, creating
constant noise, disruption, and environmental concerns, including
landscaping chemicals, oil and gasoline spills
that harmed the land. I have photographs of all of that.
Our quality of life in Malvern's small town residential neighborhood is being
taken from us by a landlord's greed to profit, collecting parking fees by
creating a backyard parking lot for 17 to 24 vehicles that shouldn't be
there in the first place. Both sides should be properly
represented. Okay, everybody has the right to bring
their attorney and present their claims, and the bureau should have counsel
present to explain and defend the zoning officer's position.
This is not about preventing a property owner from being heard, it's about
ensuring that the bureau, its laws, and residents are heard, too.
Please approve the borough solicitor's attendance at the 20 at the August 24th
hearing. The borough solicitor must be there to present on behalf of the zoning
officer and to present and to protect the citizens of Malvern.
Malvern's zoning laws should mean something.
» Thank you, ma'am. We do have a 3-minute limit, but I think we understand
Okay, one >> 1 minute 6 seconds. Residents should not
have to lose green space, peace, and quality of life because violations are
treated as a small price to pay. Thank you.
» Thank you for your comment. Uh and then Jack Weikert.
» [laughter] >> I thank you for being here. Thank you
for listening. I live at 137 Monument Avenue on the
left-hand side if you're facing that property 117-123. I'm on the left-hand
side. So I'm directly affected as well and I'm
just I would request that you please send the solicitor. I think
that would be in the best interest of everybody and I appreciate your time.
Thanks. >> All right. Thank you.
That is everyone who signed up on the list.
Do we have anybody who would like to make public comment who didn't sign up?
No. All right. So we have a motion and a second. All in favor?
» All in favor. >> Aye.
» Any opposed? All right. Motion passes. Next up,
