Pledge allegiance to the flag of the

United States of America and to the

8
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,800

10
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,480

speak?

69
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,920
Hi everybody. Uh my name is Taylor Don.

70
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:28,480
I'm at 500 North Olive. Um I rise today

71
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,920
in support of A1 uh which is my request

72
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:35,280
for resignation. Uh I don't take this

73
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,920
lightly. I I have the uh absolute

74
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:39,920
privilege of being appointed by um

75
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:42,160
Delaware County Councils to be the

76
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,920
public defender. Uh and unfortunately uh

77
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:47,440
the law that governs the public defender

78
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,519
act uh bars me from holding any other

79
00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:51,280
office. Um I spoke to both the

80
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,200
solicitor, our solicitor and the county

81
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,200
solicitor and could not find a way

82
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,920
around it. So uh unfortunately uh I am

83
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:00,480
forced to resign and I wanted to uh tell

84
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,400
you all that it was a privilege to be

85
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,640
work along you alongside you and a

86
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:06,959
privilege to serve the people of media

87
00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:09,519
um and to encourage anyone out there uh

88
00:03:09,519 --> 00:03:11,040
who is interested in applying for my

89
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,920
open seat. Uh because three three and a

90
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:15,680
half years ago that's how I got

91
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,159
involved. Um there was an open seat. I

92
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:20,159
applied for it. I wasn't selected

93
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:22,400
thankfully. Uh Jen, our our wonderful

94
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,280
Jen was was appointed. Um, and then, uh,

95
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,959
I ran and was elected and it was a

96
00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:28,400
wonderful experience. So, I encourage

97
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,400
anyone to step up and do that themselves

98
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,920
and just to say thank you to all of you

99
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:33,200
for what a privilege it was to work

100
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,120
alongside you and on behalf of the

101
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,720
greatest town I could possibly choose to

102
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,737
live in. So, thank you. Thank you.

103
00:03:40,737 --> 00:03:42,949
[applause]

104
00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:44,720
I just want to ask the solicitor, what

105
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,040
happens if we say no?

106
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,640
Does he get in trouble?

107
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,200
>> Uh, yeah, he is.

108
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,319
>> All right. I'm just just checking on

109
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:54,080
that one. I don't think it'll be an

110
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,429
issue, but [laughter]

111
00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:00,799
um and I think those uh those comments

112
00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:03,040
were lovely and we echo them. Uh we'll

113
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,439
have more to say in a few moments, but

114
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:08,480
uh it's was not it was almost as if

115
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,720
you'd been on council for years uh with

116
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,640
your contributions and what you added to

117
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,319
our meetings and the information that

118
00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:16,959
you shared with us. So, it is with great

119
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:18,560
regret that I'm going to have to bring

120
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,400
that forth in a few moments. Is there

121
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,680
anyone else who would like to speak?

122
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,320
Seeing no one, uh, I would like now to

123
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,199
move on to our manager's report. And the

124
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:31,120
manager's report this evening will be,

125
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:41,189
uh, brought forth by Jonathan Musco.

126
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:42,880
» Thank you, Mr. President, and good

127
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,199
evening to everyone. Um, like I said,

128
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:47,680
Britney Manager Foreman is not available

129
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:48,960
tonight, so I'll be delivering the

130
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,759
manager's report on her behalf. Um just

131
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:54,560
a few small public announcements that

132
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,720
she asked me to deliver. Um the first

133
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,360
one being the and excuse my

134
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,199
pronunciation on this, the Aliviver

135
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:03,759
Foundation wants to donate uh AED

136
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:06,400
equipment to Baral Park. They've been

137
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,080
partnering with local municipalities

138
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,759
like Lanstown and Upper Providence

139
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:12,240
Township. And the donation would include

140
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,600
$1,100 for the AED device itself as well

141
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,360
as an extra $1,100 for the enclosure for

142
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,759
the device. This will run through

143
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:23,919
properties committee next month, but um

144
00:05:23,919 --> 00:05:26,160
we want to thank the Aliviver Foundation

145
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,520
publicly for considering the burrow.

146
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,880
Secondly, we were recently notified that

147
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,080
Palm Street Mall was awarded a 2026

148
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,400
great places designation from the

149
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:39,919
American Planning Association,

150
00:05:39,919 --> 00:05:42,800
Pennsylvania chapter. We were nominated

151
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,440
by NV5, who was the landscape

152
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,039
architecture firm that we partnered with

153
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:49,520
during the project.

154
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,440
And the last one, which is a little more

155
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,160
in my wheelhouse, the fiscal year 2025

156
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,320
audit was completed by Barbcane Thornton

157
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,120
and Company, our um independent auditing

158
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,440
firm. We did receive a clean audit

159
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,919
opinion with no material weaknesses, no

160
00:06:03,919 --> 00:06:06,639
significant deficiencies, and three uh

161
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:09,759
minor recommendations that they had.

162
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:11,840
And that concludes the manager's report

163
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:12,800
for this evening.

164
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,440
>> Very good. Um, I'm going to ask if our

165
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,479
vice president has anything uh that she

166
00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:20,560
would like to say about the audit, the

167
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,319
award that you received earlier this

168
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:23,039
year.

169
00:06:23,039 --> 00:06:24,479
>> I want to just give you some credit,

170
00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:26,319
sir. We haven't had a chance to do it

171
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:28,160
publicly.

172
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,759
>> Sorry, just bring that on you.

173
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:31,600
>> Um, we did address it at last month's

174
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,120
meeting, legislative, and I think that

175
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,919
was the one that that that you missed, but John wasn't here to

176
00:06:37,919 --> 00:06:41,360
>> to hear all receive it in person. Um but

177
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,240
yeah, we were very excited to get this

178
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,160
award acknowledging sort of our fiscal

179
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,319
responsibility and the rigor with which

180
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:50,880
we ROD reporting and transparency and I

181
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,440
think um one of the real great things

182
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:54,800
about the award is it was the first time

183
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,520

Uh, any other questions for our manager

Moving on now to our engineers report.

Mr. Matson.

202
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,400
>> Thank you, Mr. President. Again, my

203
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:31,759
written report was submitted earlier

204
00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:33,599
this month. Just some updates on some

205
00:07:33,599 --> 00:07:36,080
few a few capital projects. We have two

206
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,599
stormwater improvement projects in the

207
00:07:37,599 --> 00:07:39,759
north of town. Uh the first one is

208
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:41,360
underway is almost substantially

209
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:42,560
complete at this point which is great

210
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,560
news. That is the empoundment facility

211
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,160
for storm water and the community garden

212
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,080
on top of that. Big thanks to JMC

213
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,240
contractors for working very quickly all

214
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,440
throughout the month to get that work

215
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,280
done. Looking forward to a successful

216
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,919
project. The second one is on North

217
00:07:55,919 --> 00:07:57,440
Olive Street Bridge Road. That bid

218
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,080
opening is August 27th. So that will be

219
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,680
next week. We're eagerly looking forward

220
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,440
to that bid opening. Hopefully we'll

221
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,360
have good news on that one. Our ste

222
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,039
street ballards were recommended by the

223
00:08:07,039 --> 00:08:08,560
council to go out to bid. We will have

224
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,319
that bid opening in September with a

225
00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:11,520
recommendation for the legislative

226
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,560
meeting. Uh our trafficcoming project

227
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,080
over on Laminate Jefferson is

228
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,280
substantially complete as well. I think

229
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:18,960
it looks great. A big thanks to our

230
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,240
friends at Chipaloney for that project

231
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,639
and our friends at the county. Uh Pico

232
00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:23,840
is almost wrapping up the work on

233
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,120
Providence Road. It seems like it has

234
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,960
been going on for a long time. Uh once

235
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,400
that is completed, we'll be move forward

236
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,479
with the Holly House rabbit rectangular

237
00:08:30,479 --> 00:08:32,399
flashing bacon project. And lastly

238
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:34,080
tonight in your packets for award is the

239
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,360
2026 red program. And so we had a a good

240
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,959
strong representation from that one.

241
00:08:38,959 --> 00:08:39,919
should be under the

242
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:43,440
transportation committee u uh report. So

243
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:44,640
unless there's any other questions that

244
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,800
concludes our report.

245
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,240
>> May I ask the question?

246
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,440
>> Yes.

247
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,760
>> Kevin, do you know when Providence Road

248
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,160
will be repaved? We are getting a number

249
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,200
of complaints about the way the roads

250
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,000
been left.

251
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000
>> Unders understood loud and clear. Yeah,

252
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
there was uh a number of inquiries back

253
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,760
and forth that goalpost had been moving

254
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,440
again. We were promised July. We've been

255
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,519
promised August. So, it's just a matter

256
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:09,920
of getting PICO to do the follow-up work

257
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,200
of the installation of the service

258
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,120
laterals. So, they need to do some

259
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,160
coordination naturally with the

260
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,600
individual homeowners to schedule

261
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,200
appointments. And that's really where

262
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:18,560
we're down to. We're down to the last

263
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:21,200
few. So, it's it's a function of

264
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,800
naturally Pico completing their main,

265
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,480
which is done, and then all the

266
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:25,839
individual service laterals, which is

267
00:09:25,839 --> 00:09:27,920
the final part of that. So, after that

268
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,360
is completed, the road will be repaid.

269
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,320
But, thank you.

270
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,640
>> Any other questions?

271
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,720
Thank you, Mr. Matson. Hearing no none,

272
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,160
we'll move on to our mayor's report.

273
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,760
Mayor Washington.

274
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,360
>> Good evening, Mr. President, and good

275
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,160
evening, everyone. Um, yes. So, my

276
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,320
report, I have a couple of reports from

277
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,160
the media brow police department and a

278
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,240
couple of updates for me as well. Uh,

279
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,640
there were 731 calls for service and

280
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,240
initiated response for the month of

281
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,120
July. And unfortunately, this is an 11%

282
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,720
increase from July of 2025 with 652

283
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,640
calls last year. 149 traffic stops, 33

284
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,040
traffic details, and some training from

285
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,440
the media bureau police department. The

286
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,279
officers completed their annual use of

287
00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:13,120
force and taser training conducted by

288
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:18,560
Sergeant Helmond and Officer Devito. All officers will also completed first

289
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:20,560
aid and CPR training, which is required

290
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:23,760
every 2 years. And onto the reports of

291
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,519
interest. Uh there are terroristic

292
00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:28,399
threats with a firearm on July 22nd at

293
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:33,200
the Wawa and oh wait no that's the next

294
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,760
one. Whoops. Uh there is a terrorist

295
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,600
threats with a firearm. Officers

296
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,519
responded to the area within 30 minutes

297
00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:41,760
of the initial dispatch and had the

298
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,399
actor in custody. And then the next one

299
00:10:44,399 --> 00:10:47,360
is public drunkenness on July 4th. At

300
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,360
the end the individual was taken into

301
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,959
custody for public drunkenness and

302
00:10:50,959 --> 00:10:53,839
released once. sober. Um, and that's

303
00:10:53,839 --> 00:10:55,279
something that they have to do so they

304
00:10:55,279 --> 00:10:57,360
make sure people are, you know, good to

305
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,120
go and not and under any liabilities.

306
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,600
And the next one's for a check washing.

307
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,279
Uh, the case has been turned over to the

308
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:07,360
postal inspector's office of the US

309
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,360
Postal Service.

310
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,240
And then the other one, I think I got

311
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,560
two more. Trespass with a threat of a

312
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:16,720
firearm. And this is at the Wawwa store

313
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,920
at the 100 East Baltimore Avenue for

314
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,959
report of the subject with a gun. And

315
00:11:22,959 --> 00:11:24,560
the defendant is currently at the

316
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:26,160
Delaware County Prison. He was taken

317
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,360
into custody without incident after the

318
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,079
uh after the employees

319
00:11:32,079 --> 00:11:34,959
uh reported the incident.

320
00:11:34,959 --> 00:11:37,760
and and another warrant servicing. On

321
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,040
July 25th, Officer Scott was on patrol

322
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,560
when she observed a man walking down

323
00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:44,560
Baltimore Avenue in the area of Ratner

324
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:46,959
Street. So, the pedestrian stop was

325
00:11:46,959 --> 00:11:49,360
conducted and uh the im the individual

326
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,200
was known to the officer to have an

327
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,760
arrest warrant. And uh yep, the man was

328
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,920
advised as to why he was being stopped

329
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,839
and he was taken into custody where a

330
00:11:59,839 --> 00:12:02,079
search in incident to arrest was

331
00:12:02,079 --> 00:12:03,760
conducted revealing numerous needles,

332
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,880
drug paraphernalia, and elicit drugs. I

333
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,240
just want to thank the police department

334
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,079
for keeping everyone safe this month and

335
00:12:10,079 --> 00:12:13,839
every month. Uh and and moving on to the

336
00:12:13,839 --> 00:12:16,160
focus points for August 2026,

337
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,560
accreditation is underway. The Media

338
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:20,639
Bureau Police Department is currently

339
00:12:20,639 --> 00:12:22,240
going through their reertification for

340
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,160
accreditation this month and this

341
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,320
reassessment is conducted every 3 years

342
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,320
by the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police

343
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,200
Association and this re this includes a

344
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,440
review of all policy and procedures as

345
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,360
well as review of reports to ensure that

346
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:36,880
the department is maintaining the

347
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,040
highest standards. This process has

348
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,200
begun on August 14th and will conclude

349
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,519
on August 28th with an inspection of the

350
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:46,399
police station equipment, vehicles, and

351
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:48,800
ride along with with the officers by the

352
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,680
assessment team. And as of today, only

353
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:53,600
17% of police departments in

354
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,279
Pennsylvania are accredited law

355
00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:57,440
enforcement agencies.

356
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,760
And moving along to finishing up my

357
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,760
report, officers will continue to

358
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,760
conduct traffic details in areas of

359
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,760
concern reported by residents and

360
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,320
identified by patrol officers. Officers

361
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,160
will continue to monitor and strictly

362
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,000
enforce the double parking issues in the

363
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,480
business district. And my notes for this

364
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,120
month so far for August uh National

365
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,480
Night Out, just wanted to note that

366
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,160
National Night Out earlier this month

367
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,040
was a blast. Um and uh it happened on

368
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,360
August 6th with some great turnout. Just

369
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:26,720
want to thank the media burough police

370
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,720
department, the media fire company, and

371
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,399
the media wreck board for a wonderful

372
00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:32,079
night engaging the community with their

373
00:13:32,079 --> 00:13:33,920
first responders. That concludes my

374
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:34,639
report.

375
00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:36,320
>> Thank you very much. Uh any questions

376
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,560
for the mayor?

377
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:40,639
>> Hearing none. Um and before we get into

378
00:13:40,639 --> 00:13:42,240
the council committee reports, I wanted

379
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,639
to note that last week, uh Mayor

380
00:13:44,639 --> 00:13:46,639
Washington had the distinct pleasure of

381
00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:48,320
attending the employee appreciation

382
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,120
lunchon. Um, and I didn't get a chance

383
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,320
to mention uh to when I was uh thanking

384
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,639
John for all of his hard work. Um, one

385
00:13:56,639 --> 00:13:58,160
of the things that I said in just a

386
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,320
couple of very brief remarks is that the

387
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,320
employees of of this bureau make our

388
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,519
jobs very easy. Um, you know, coming in

389
00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:07,680
and knowing that there is competence,

390
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:10,320
uh, there is integrity, um, and there

391
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,320
is, you know, accountability and

392
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,720
strength behind every moment, every

393
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,040
moment that we have a meeting and every

394
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,839
issue that we face. uh it makes us it

395
00:14:19,839 --> 00:14:22,000
just really makes it a wonderful place

396
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,639
to to be on council. So, thank you. And

397
00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:26,399
I'll tell everyone out there that uh we

398
00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:29,440
do appreciate our our employees. So, I

399
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,000
don't want to miss that. So, thank you.

400
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,519
I got to this point I was like, "Oo, I

401
00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:35,360
better say something." Uh but we'll

402
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,480
start with our council committee

403
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,240
reports. I will be delivering uh the

404
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,839
report for planning commission, zoning,

405
00:14:39,839 --> 00:14:41,440
hearing board, and harb. And I'll hand

406
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,600
the uh gavvel over to the vice president

407
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,079
in case there's anything uh necessary.

408
00:14:46,079 --> 00:14:49,199
Um the first order of business um is to

409
00:14:49,199 --> 00:14:51,040
accept the resignation of council member

410
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,519
Taylor Dunn. Uh as he so eloquently

411
00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:55,760
stated, this is not uh something that he

412
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,600
wanted to do. It's something that he has

413
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,760
to do. Uh and we look forward to

414
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,320
opportunities for uh for council member

415
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,240
Dunn, soon to be former council member

416
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,720
Dunn, uh to volunteer his time to the

417
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,639
bureau. It's all about public service

418
00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:10,320
and working in the public defenders

419
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,240
office, serving on council, serving on

420
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,240
our zoning hearing board. Even though it

421
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,120
was brief, it was uh it was phenomenal.

422
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,240
Um so I will move that we accept the

423
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,079
resignation of council person Taylor

424
00:15:22,079 --> 00:15:24,160
Dunn with great regret.

425
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,639
>> Motion has been made. Is there a second?

426
00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:28,399
>> Seconded.

427
00:15:28,399 --> 00:15:32,560
>> Motion is a second. Any discussion?

428
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,079
All those in favor of accepting the

429
00:15:34,079 --> 00:15:35,920
resignation of Council Person Taylor

430
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,760
Dunn signify by saying I.

431
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:38,800
>> I.

432
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,600
>> Opposed. The motion passes unanimously.

433
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,680
And just as a clarification of the

434
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,839
process from here on out, um by

435
00:15:45,839 --> 00:15:47,440
accepting the resignation, tonight

436
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,560
starts a 30-day clock uh for council to

437
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,759
appoint a uh a replacement. Uh and

438
00:15:53,759 --> 00:15:55,360
during that time, we have already opened

439
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,320
up uh the application process. Uh and

440
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,720
those applications we are asking to be

441
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,000
into media burough by August 31st at

442
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,800
noon. Um you can find information on our

443
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,639
website and you can send your

444
00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:11,120
application and your uh resume or CV or

445
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,120
whatever you'd like to share uh with us

446
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,440
and then we will have a process where on

447
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,639
I believe September 8th or 9th uh or 9th

448
00:16:18,639 --> 00:16:21,120
or 10th it's it's two days in that week.

449
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,360
No, the 8th is is the day after uh Labor

450
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,839
Day. So, it'll be two of those days that week. We will have uh interviews in

451
00:16:27,839 --> 00:16:30,079
public session and that'll be advertised

452
00:16:30,079 --> 00:16:33,120
and the intent is to appoint uh our new

453
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,920
council member on September 17th at our

454
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,240
September legislative meeting. So, if

455
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,399
there are any questions about that, is

456
00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:43,279
that pretty clear? Thank you. And I

457
00:16:43,279 --> 00:16:46,320
encourage anyone to apply. Um that's

458
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,880
where we stand with that. Second motion

459
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,160
uh is to request to a request to wave

460
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,839
the land development application

461
00:16:53,839 --> 00:16:57,759
requirement for 7 to13 State Road due to

462
00:16:57,759 --> 00:16:59,680
most of the parcel being located in

463
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,160
Upper Providence Township. If you may

464
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,600
remember, uh this is where I believe a

465
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,079
child care center is planned.

466
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:11,280
>> Um and there's a tiny little bit that is

467
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,120
in the parking lot that is in Media

468
00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:15,120
Burough. Uh, and this is simply a

469
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:17,039
request to sort of allow this to

470
00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:18,959
progress and not not cause any problems.

471
00:17:18,959 --> 00:17:21,039
I think it's good governance to, you

472
00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:22,480
know, work with our neighboring

473
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,240
communities and just say, you know, this

474
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,799
is this is on your end. Go for it. Um,

475
00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:28,720
do we need a formal motion for this, Mr.

476
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,640
Scott?

477
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,840
>> The the owner needs to note on their

478
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,880
development plans that media is not

479
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,160
asserting jurisdiction. So to do that

480
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,280
there needs to be a vote and there will

481
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,200
somebody sign.

482
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,120
>> Sure.

483
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:49,120
>> So I will make a motion to wave the land

484
00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:51,200
development application requirement for

485
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,840
7 to 13 State Road due to most of the

486
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,760
parcel being located in Upper Providence

487
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,720
Township.

488
00:17:58,720 --> 00:17:59,679
>> In the form of a motion.

489
00:17:59,679 --> 00:18:00,960
>> A motion has been made. Is there a

490
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:01,520
second?

491
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:02,160
>> Seconded.

492
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,440
>> Motion has been seconded. Any

493
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,120
discussion?

494
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:06,960
All those in favor of waving the land

495
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,640
development application requirement for

496
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,120
7 to13 state road due the parcel being

497
00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:13,520
located in upper pro most of the parcel

498
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,280
being up located in Upper Providence

499
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,360
Township signify by saying I

500
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:20,000
>> I opposed. The motion passes

501
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,080
unanimously. The next item on the

502
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,760
agenda, and I have to acknowledge having

503
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,200
not been at the planning commission, we

504
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,600
have a very large uh collection of

505
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,400
documents here regarding uh a request

506
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,799
for a line adjustment and subdivision

507
00:18:32,799 --> 00:18:35,280
for a property at 509 North Lemon

508
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,280
Street. We do have representatives, I

509
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,280
hear uh who are ready to answer any

510
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,760
questions. Um, so if you want to make a

511
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,840
very brief statement perhaps about the

512
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,559
request and I will simply say that this

513
00:18:46,559 --> 00:18:48,160
went through the planning commission and

514
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:53,440
the planning commission recommended the council not oppose.

515
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,600
>> Yeah. My name is Steve Willison. I'm a

516
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,600
land surveyor with GD Hoopinstein. It

517
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,919
was our office of prepared plans. I have

518
00:18:59,919 --> 00:19:02,240
Nathan Miller who's the owner of 509

519
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,080
Lemon Street and his father Mike Miller

520
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,120
who owns 333 West Fifth Street. Uh the

521
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:09,600
purpose the back of Nate's property, the

522
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,360
side of Nate's property backs up to his

523
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:14,000
father's property and there's we did a

524
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,080
survey was done and found out that the

525
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,280
patio of Nate Nathan's property has a

526
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,520
slight 1-ft encroachment onto Mike's

527
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,520
property. Uh and there were some bushes

528
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:24,880
and shrubs that were there from the

529
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,799
previous owner which have been removed.

530
00:19:26,799 --> 00:19:28,320
We're simply trying to move that

531
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,200
property line 16 ft so he can have his

532
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,679
buffer back again, plant it, and have a

533
00:19:33,679 --> 00:19:34,799
little more room back there. It's a

534
00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:36,480
little tight back there.

535
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:41,760
uh his father had bought the property to renovate it, possibly move in, but

536
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,760
with the slope to the property, he's

537
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,760
looking for something more one level.

538
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,320
It's leaning to a split level. So, once

539
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,160
we get this property line moved and

540
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,160
relocated, then we'll probably put that

541
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,000
house back up for sale and everybody

542
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,080
will be happy. Very good. Thank you for

543
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,480
the uh explanation. Very clear.

544
00:19:58,480 --> 00:19:59,360
>> Um

545
00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:01,280

549
00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:09,840
>> This doesn't go to zoning.

550
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:10,240
>> Nope.

551
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,559
>> Okay. So, this is something we would

552
00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:12,960
approve.

553
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,960

Street. I'll make that in the form of a

560
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,080
motion. A

561
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,120
>> motion has been made. Is there a second?

562
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:35,919
>> Seconded.

563
00:20:35,919 --> 00:20:37,600
>> The motion has been seconded. Any

564
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:38,320
discussion?

565
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,080
>> There are waiverss that we should note

566
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,080
for the record. You'll be you'll be

567
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,400
approving it subject to those waivers.

568
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,480
>> Um and they are more familiar with

569
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,200
>> Yeah. that not to have to submit a

570
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,960
combined culinary final. Um not to

571
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,960
provide because this is such a simple

572
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,440
plan. they're not providing um

573
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,400
topographical features and uh benchmarks

574
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,600
and things that they would normally put

575
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:08,559
on a on a more wholesome development. Um

576
00:21:08,559 --> 00:21:10,799
there the plans don't show the location

577
00:21:10,799 --> 00:21:13,440
of benchmarks of of storm sewer drains

578
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,840
of location calipers of 8 in or more.

579
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,440
Those are not really relevant to the lot

580
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,600
line. So thank you.

581
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,760
>> Just to reiterate, there's no um

582
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,120
construction activity associated with

583
00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:26,640
this. It's the movement of an imaginary

584
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:26,960
line.

585
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,720
>> Mhm.

586
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,039
>> So would you recommend we alter this and

587
00:21:31,039 --> 00:21:33,120
add with the waivers or

588
00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:35,280
>> Why don't you Is it Do the maker and the

589
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,360
seconder accept the uh amendment to be

590
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:40,799
approved the plan subject to the

591
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:41,360
waivers?

592
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:43,840
>> Subject to the waivers. Okay. I'm okay

593
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,760
with it. Second.

594
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:46,799
>> I'm okay with it.

595
00:21:46,799 --> 00:21:48,240
>> Okay. Great.

596
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,799
>> Um I have a question. Within this

597
00:21:50,799 --> 00:21:52,559
packet, there's this huge amount of like

598
00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:54,640
deed information. is that's not really

599
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,200
relevant to

600
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,200
>> that's part of the submission package

601
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:00,799
application package. You have to submit

602
00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:02,640
the deeds for both properties.

603
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,120
>> Okay. It looks okay.

604
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:07,840
>> Part of that is the the again the lots

605
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,480
are changing geometry. So that lot line

606
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,000
although it's imaginary it's a legal

607
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,240
line it's being redefined. So that

608
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,159
redefining process has to be recorded

609
00:22:16,159 --> 00:22:16,559
>> okay

610
00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:18,559
>> and then verified and then ultimately

611
00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:21,039
recorded at the county. That's all the

612
00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:22,159
ass.

613
00:22:22,159 --> 00:22:23,760
>> Okay. It just looked like there was a

614
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,720
lot happening here that wasn't but

615
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,120
>> ultimately it's it's a date. It's a

616
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:31,120
complicated date because it's part of a

617
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:33,039
property disposition.

618
00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:33,840
>> Okay. Thank you.

619
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,070
>> Yeah.

620
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,200
» Any additional discussion?

621
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,440
All those in favor of accepting the lot

622
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,440
line adjustment subdivision for property

623
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,640

624
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,880
waivers signify by saying I. I.

625
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,799
>> I. opposed.

626
00:22:52,799 --> 00:22:54,720
The motion passes unanimously

627
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,880
>> and that concludes the report for

628
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,720

629
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,080
and HARP. Thank you.

630
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,640
>> Any questions for President Poff on this

631
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,520
part of his agenda?

632
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:06,799
>> Seeing none.

633
00:23:06,799 --> 00:23:09,280
>> Thank you. We'll now move on to uh

634
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,600
transportation, fire, EMS, and civil

635

Herman.

637
00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:16,799
>> Thank you, Mr. President. All right. So

638
00:23:16,799 --> 00:23:18,240
starting off tonight, I have one

639
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,520
leazison announcement uh regarding the

640
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,320
uh special EMS meeting we had about a

641
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:31,520
week ago. Uh so council had a special EMS meeting specifically to

642
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,320
discuss the upcoming regional authority

643
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,880
that's been proposed by uh members of

644
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:41,120
the working group and our neighbors in

645
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:43,200
uh Nether Providence Upper Providence

646
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,240
WMO

647
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,360
>> Rose Valley and Rish

648
00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:47,760
close.

649
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,720
>> It's okay. I always forgot one of them.

650
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,360
>> Yeah. He said

651
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:54,960
>> uh yes. So we had a meeting regarding

652
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,600
that authority and we discussed uh the

653
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,039
various options with whether or not

654
00:23:59,039 --> 00:24:02,240
media was likely to join uh and to try

655
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,640
and get an understanding as to uh the

656
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,360
general costs.

657
00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:09,679
Um while we don't have the full final

658
00:24:09,679 --> 00:24:14,080
numbers just yet uh at this time at that

659
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,159
time at the end of that meeting general

660
00:24:16,159 --> 00:24:18,159
sense of council of those who were

661
00:24:18,159 --> 00:24:20,799
attendant was that media would likely

662
00:24:20,799 --> 00:24:24,320
not join at this time due to both uh

663
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,159
just a general uncertainty on the costs

664
00:24:26,159 --> 00:24:28,799
but also some

665
00:24:28,799 --> 00:24:31,360
uncertainty as to the leadership of that

666
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:34,720
uh authority and how it would affect

667
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,149
uh our residences.

668
00:24:38,159 --> 00:24:41,360
Thank you. Um, and if I may add, I

669
00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:43,440
attended a similar special meeting on

670
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:44,880
Tuesday evening in Upper Providence

671
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,799
Township where many of the same

672
00:24:46,799 --> 00:24:49,120
questions were asked. Um, many of the

673
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:52,640
same issues were raised. Um, and you

674
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,320
know, the the general sense that I got

675
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,000
at both meetings, although I don't want

676
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,360
to speak for Upper Providence, I can

677
00:24:57,360 --> 00:24:58,960
only speak for myself and the and the

678
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,080
others who were at our meeting on

679
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,919
Monday, was that there are just too many

680
00:25:01,919 --> 00:25:04,799
questions in the air. Um, and we don't

681
00:25:04,799 --> 00:25:07,520
want to burden our residents with a uh a

682
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,240
fee. Um, we want to make sure that if we

683
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,960
are going with this, we have done all of

684
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,559
our due diligence and that we have done

685
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:16,799
everything we can to keep the costs as

686
00:25:16,799 --> 00:25:19,279
low as we can for our residents uh in

687
00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:21,520
media burough. Um, one of the other main

688
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,120
concerns that that was raised is that you know the leadership of this

689
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:26,640
authority

690
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,039
um does not have to follow any of the

691
00:25:29,039 --> 00:25:31,200
recommendations of this working group

692
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,520
regardless of who's on the authority.

693
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,720
Um, and media fire company uh, you know,

694
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,120
could very well wind up on the outside

695
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:41,600
looking in. Um, and we've heard from

696
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,039
this, I can tell you, we've heard from

697
00:25:43,039 --> 00:25:45,200
our residents in Upper Providence and in

698
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,520
Media Burough, um, that they're very

699
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,520
happy with the service from the media

700
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,919
fire company in EMS. Um, and we should

701
00:25:51,919 --> 00:25:54,320
be very proud of that. Um, and consider

702
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,279
that to be a feather in our cap. Um, so

703
00:25:57,279 --> 00:26:00,080
I I just wanted to bring that up. The

704
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,240
approval of the authority wouldn't

705
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,720
happen at one of our meetings. There is

706
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,240
a meeting scheduled for September 2nd, I

707
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,480
believe, at Strath Haven Middle School

708
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,120
or high school.

709
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:11,840
>> Middle school.

710
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,240
>> Strath Haven Middle School. Um, and that

711
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,240
at that meeting, each of the six

712
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,880
municipalities have been asked to bring

713
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,360
uh a quorum of their membership to vote

714
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:24,559
whether or not to join this authority.

715
00:26:24,559 --> 00:26:28,080
Um, so we will be there. I believe we'll

716
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,720
have a quorum there. Uh and at this time

717
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,679
again our our predisposition is not to

718
00:26:33,679 --> 00:26:35,919
join. Um but again a lot can happen in

719
00:26:35,919 --> 00:26:38,159
the next couple of weeks. So it's

720
00:26:38,159 --> 00:26:40,799
something where I encourage residents to

721
00:26:40,799 --> 00:26:43,440
reach out to us. Uh if you have any

722
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,960
questions about what you've heard. That

723
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,559
was one thing that came up on Tuesday

724
00:26:46,559 --> 00:26:48,799
was we don't know what the residents

725
00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:51,440
think. I'm you know we're all residents.

726
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,000
Um, and you know, from the standpoint of

727
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,880
I don't want to pay more than I need to,

728
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,320
uh, or what more than what's fair, uh, I

729
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,240
think would be something that that's,

730
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,760
uh, you know, rolling around in our

731
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,320
heads as, as members making a decision.

732
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,640
>> I was not present at that meeting. May I

733
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:09,760
voice my opinion?

734
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:10,720
>> Yes, absolutely.

735
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,039
>> Thank you. Um, so I've had some time to

736
00:27:13,039 --> 00:27:16,080
dig into the relevant data provided. Um,

737
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,600
and what I would like to call out is

738
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,919
that across the six mun municipalities,

739
00:27:19,919 --> 00:27:21,520
media borrow has the lowest median

740
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,159
household income. So to me, if we have

741
00:27:24,159 --> 00:27:25,760
the lowest median income of all

742
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,799
participating munality municipalities, a

743
00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:30,799
flat fee structure is regressive and

744
00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:32,559
places the highest burden on the

745
00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:33,840
community with the least ability to

746
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,000
absorb it. Um,

747
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:36,400
>> excellent.

748
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,240
>> I have I have the numbers if folks want,

749
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,559
but I did dig into some census data. Um,

750
00:27:40,559 --> 00:27:42,400
and right, we have the density, we've

751
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,080
built out, we have commercial activity

752
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,520
means that we pay more, but our

753
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,679
residents aren't necessarily wealthier.

754
00:27:47,679 --> 00:27:49,279
So, I know that we've talked a lot

755
00:27:49,279 --> 00:27:52,720
about, right, there's equal votes, but

756
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,559
it's not equitable votes. And I think

757
00:27:54,559 --> 00:27:57,360
that is my biggest concern right now.

758
00:27:57,360 --> 00:27:59,360
Um, and additionally, right, we're

759
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:01,440
talking about the governance structure.

760
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,640
Um we've discussed concerns with media

761
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,480
only having one vote despite the

762
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,679
differences um in income and ability to

763
00:28:09,679 --> 00:28:12,159
pay across the multiple municipalities.

764
00:28:12,159 --> 00:28:16,159
So I my perspective right now is no

765
00:28:16,159 --> 00:28:20,320
because we have folks who would be um

766
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:21,919
would have a higher burden than our

767
00:28:21,919 --> 00:28:23,440
neighboring municipalities and that does

768
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,279
not seem equitable nor does it seem

769
00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:26,880
financially responsible for us to make

770
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,080
that decision.

771
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,279
>> Thank you. That's an excellent point. I did a little number crunching myself

772
00:28:31,279 --> 00:28:34,000
and I looked at the populations of

773
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,159
Swathmore that are very similar and if

774
00:28:36,159 --> 00:28:38,080
you look at the six municipalities our

775
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,480
total population is about 16th of that

776
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,640
entire group combined. So if you're

777
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,080
looking at one out of six it's not that

778
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:45,679
big a deal but when you're looking at it

779
00:28:45,679 --> 00:28:51,279
financially and fiscally that's a much bigger difference. Um so I I really

780
00:28:51,279 --> 00:28:52,640
appreciate that and thank you thank you

781
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,880
for that. May I add that we would have

782
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,520
one vote out of six, but we also have

783
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,360
about 25% of the call volume.

784
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,039
>> That's correct. Yes, that's the other

785
00:29:01,039 --> 00:29:05,840
piece, too. Thank you. Um, so that uh

786
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,679
I'll turn it back to Mr. Herman. It's

787
00:29:07,679 --> 00:29:09,440
your report. So, thank you.

788
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,640
>> All right, moving on. Uh, this month's

789
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,000
uh traffic education topic for August

790
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,600
2026. [clears throat] This month's topic

791
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,760
is safety and construction zones.

792
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,279
Uh, Aqua, Pico, Pendot, and other crews

793
00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:27,120
work every day to get these projects

794
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,320
finished safely. Landscaping crews and

795
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,320
tree service companies frequently have

796
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,080
cones, flaggers, and equipment in

797
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,720
surprise locations.

798
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,880
Stay on top of the planned projects in

799
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,399
through our newsletter, which is a great

800
00:29:40,399 --> 00:29:43,679
source of info and highlights

801
00:29:43,679 --> 00:29:46,159
throughout the summer. Throughout our

802
00:29:46,159 --> 00:29:48,159
major and minor streets, construction

803
00:29:48,159 --> 00:29:50,799
has become a pretty familiar site around

804
00:29:50,799 --> 00:29:53,760
media this summer. Detours, lane

805
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,760
closures, and flaggers can be

806
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,279
frustrating. Please be patient.

807
00:29:59,279 --> 00:30:02,080
Plan ahead. Check the burrow, Aqua, and

808
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,559
Pico websites when you can. Construction

809
00:30:04,559 --> 00:30:06,960
zones change, equipment moves, and

810
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,840
detours can shift. Knowing where work is

811
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,159
happening may save you some frustration

812
00:30:12,159 --> 00:30:13,760
or give you a chance to take another

813
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,200
route.

814
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,919
Slow down and follow the flaggers and

815
00:30:17,919 --> 00:30:20,640
signs in work zones. The crews are often

816
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,399
working only a few feet from moving

817
00:30:22,399 --> 00:30:24,720
traffic. Please give them some room and

818
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,200
let them do their job safely. And

819
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,440
remember, the people working out there

820
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,120
have families and people waiting for

821
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,600
them at home, too. A few extra minutes

822
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,840
and a little patience can help make sure

823
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,261
everyone gets home safely.

824
00:30:39,261 --> 00:30:41,750
[snorts]

825
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,440
And moving on, uh, next up, I have the,

826
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,840
uh, change order for Jefferson and Lemon

827
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,399
Streets, uh, community development block

828
00:30:50,399 --> 00:30:52,640
grant project, which I submit in the

829
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:53,760
form of a motion.

830
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:58,000
>> Motion has been made. Is there a second?

831
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
>> Motion's been made and seconded. Any

832
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,590
discussion?

833
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:04,240
Is there

834
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,760
>> What? What? I'm sorry. What What is this

835
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,600
grant for? [laughter]

836
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:08,399
>> I apologize.

837
00:31:08,399 --> 00:31:10,880
>> If I may, Mr. So this is the Lemon

838
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,240
Jefferson project

839
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,799
>> and when that bid came in the low the

840
00:31:14,799 --> 00:31:17,360
low bidder was well under the grant cap

841
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,080
allocation. So the the the grant was

842
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,600
award pardon me the bid was about

843
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,320
$70,000 and that project had been

844
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,039
allocated about $144,000.

845
00:31:27,039 --> 00:31:29,360
So again in in order to maximize the

846
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,000
benefit of that uh grant uh it was

847
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,679
recommended to have some extensions to

848
00:31:33,679 --> 00:31:35,679
existing line items. So specifically

849
00:31:35,679 --> 00:31:37,120
what you would see out there is that

850
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,720
area had some sidewalks that weren't in

851
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:39,919
great shape because of the nature of the

852
00:31:39,919 --> 00:31:41,600
trees and the age of the neighborhood.

853
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,039
So the recommendation is to have those

854
00:31:43,039 --> 00:31:44,880
improved. Some of the ADA facilities we

855
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,559
can get additional improvements, some

856
00:31:46,559 --> 00:31:48,080
additional landscaping and there are

857
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,679
some areas of curbing that just that

858
00:31:49,679 --> 00:31:52,080
were dated and old and again so the

859
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,159
ability to inject additional resource

860
00:31:54,159 --> 00:31:55,840
under the existing line into that

861
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,840
contract just gives that the project a

862
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,240
nice more polished look. It just allows

863
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,080
us to inject more resource into that

864
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:03,840
area and I think the overall uh look

865
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,279
will be sharp.

866
00:32:05,279 --> 00:32:10,389
>> Thank you.

867
00:32:10,399 --> 00:32:13,600
» All those in favor?

868
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:14,240
>> Thank you.

869
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,600
>> Can I add one more thought on that one?

870
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:16,000
>> Yes.

871
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,039
>> Again, that project is funded uh with

872
00:32:19,039 --> 00:32:22,640
the uh the funds from the county. This

873
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:23,760
change order, although it's a change

874
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,919
order to our contract, doesn't cost our

875
00:32:25,919 --> 00:32:27,279
taxpayers additional money. What it does

876
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:28,960
is it allows us to use the additional

877
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,600
allocation uh that was awarded by the

878
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,000
county with support from federal funds.

879
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:34,320
>> Great.

880
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,399
>> So it's not it's not additional cash

881
00:32:36,399 --> 00:32:38,960
from the uh burough taxpayers. It's the

882
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,960
usage of additional allocation from the

883
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:41,919
grant.

884
00:32:41,919 --> 00:32:43,200
>> Thank you very much for that

885
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,200
explanation. Uh hearing no more

886
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:46,720
discussion. All those in favor of

887
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,720
accepting the change order for Jefferson

888
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,640
and Lemon Streets Community Development

889
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,120
Block Grant Project, please signify by

890
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:54,720
saying I. I. I.

891
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,360
>> Any opposed say nay. Motion carries

892
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:58,320
unanimously.

893
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,880
>> Thank you. Moving on. I have a proposal

894
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,320
from Carol Engineering for a

895
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:03,919
comprehensive parking study in the

896
00:33:03,919 --> 00:33:07,039
amount not to exceed $41,800, which I

897
00:33:07,039 --> 00:33:09,200
offer up in the form of a motion.

898
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,440
>> The motion has been made. Is there a

899
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,110
second?

900
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:15,679
» Second.

901
00:33:15,679 --> 00:33:17,679
>> Motion has been made and seconded. Is

902
00:33:17,679 --> 00:33:18,960
there any discussion?

903
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:20,320
>> Can we get some clarification on what

904
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,880
the parking study includes or will

905
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:28,070
include?

906
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,679
Unfortunately, I don't have my notes in

907
00:33:29,679 --> 00:33:30,080
front of me.

908
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,440
>> I know we discussed a couple of

909
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,279
different routes and I'm and I just

910
00:33:33,279 --> 00:33:35,840
would like for us to be to be clear to

911
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,519
be clear about what it's including and

912
00:33:37,519 --> 00:33:41,830
what it's not.

913
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,440
» Is this something that we might want to

914
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:44,559
revisit next month?

915
00:33:44,559 --> 00:33:46,720
>> My understanding is that this was the um

916
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:51,440
was this the GIS to GI Global Imaging

917
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,640
Service? I can't recall the AC acronym,

918
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,960
but I believe that this was looking

919
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,200
around some of the overflow areas like

920
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,200
around the courthouse. I know that that

921
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,000
was one area mentioned. Um, so I believe

922
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,799
that this was going to have folks um

923
00:34:06,799 --> 00:34:09,200
from Carol going out into the burrow and

924
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,359
perhaps leveraging AI to help understand

925
00:34:11,359 --> 00:34:13,280
where the true areas of need are for

926
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,000
parking um so that we can make informed

927
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,320
decisions on where to invest in parking

928
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,159
infrastructure. Again, if it's helpful,

929
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:21,599
I do have I do have that scope. If it's

930
00:34:21,599 --> 00:34:22,240
helpful.

931
00:34:22,240 --> 00:34:23,679
>> Yeah. Would you mind? Because I mean, I

932
00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:24,879
know in a couple of different

933
00:34:24,879 --> 00:34:26,159
committees, we've talked about a couple

934
00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:27,440
different types of parking and I just

935
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:28,639
want to make sure. I think you are

936
00:34:28,639 --> 00:34:30,240
right, Amelia, but I don't know if there

937
00:34:30,240 --> 00:34:31,839
were other parts of the scope as well.

938
00:34:31,839 --> 00:34:34,480
>> Yep. Certainly. Again, so part of the

939
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,960
genesis of this naturally was parking is

940
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,960
a really key issue in town

941
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,960
>> and we had spent a lot of focus in the

942
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,480
area of State Street studying the area

943
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:43,520
actually the garage going back to

944
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,679
earlier this year. This is an extension

945
00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:48,159
of that study to take a more focused

946
00:34:48,159 --> 00:34:51,280
look at areas that were both impacted by

947
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,359
high usage but also affordable housing.

948
00:34:53,359 --> 00:34:55,040
So the the impact of affordable housing,

949
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,639
the impact of different land use on our

950
00:34:56,639 --> 00:34:58,880
street system. Again, so there is

951
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,119
there's a series of breakouts. One of

952
00:35:01,119 --> 00:35:03,680
which is primarily a parking inventory.

953
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,440
Another one are curbside strategies to

954
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,320
help maximize and the usage of delivery

955
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:09,920
vehicles around State Street.

956
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,119
>> That was what I wanted to make sure it

957
00:35:11,119 --> 00:35:12,079
was included in it.

958
00:35:12,079 --> 00:35:13,680
>> That's right. The other one is our

959
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,839
parking standard or a review of our

960
00:35:15,839 --> 00:35:17,520
existing parking ordinances

961
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,119
>> to make sure that they are consistent.

962
00:35:19,119 --> 00:35:21,440
Again, the option for the GIS here is is

963
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,000
highlighted here so that there are uh

964
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,520
modern technologies that are used to

965
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,200
take a look at our parking facilities

966
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:28,400
around town, take a look at our street

967
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,040
systems. Uh and I think that generally

968
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,760
was it. So, it was it was an expansion

969
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,760
of good work that had begun earlier this

970
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,960
year to add some additional focus areas.

971
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,280
This is the one that it goes north

972
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,520
towards like third, fourth, fifth

973
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,680
street, I think, right? Yeah.

974
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:46,320
>> Overflow.

975
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,400
>> Awesome. That that's helpful. Thank you.

976
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,560
Mr. Matson. And thank you,

977
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:55,430
um, Council Person Delgroso.

978
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,760
» Seeing if there's if there's no more

979
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,359
discussion, all those in favor of

980
00:35:59,359 --> 00:36:01,040
accepting the proposal from Carol

parking study and an amount not to

983
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,599
exceed 40,000 $41,800.

984
00:36:07,599 --> 00:36:10,960
That's not my uh Hang on a moment. All

985
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,359
those in favor of accepting the proposal

986
00:36:13,359 --> 00:36:14,800
from Carol Engineering for a

987
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,200
comprehensive parking study in an amount

988
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,480
not to exceed $41,800,

989
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,079
please say I.

990
00:36:22,079 --> 00:36:24,480
>> I. Any opposed? Say nay.

991
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,599
>> Motion passes unanimously.

992
00:36:27,599 --> 00:36:29,680
>> All right. Moving on. My last item up

993
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,040
for business is a motion to accept a bid

994
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,680
from AF Damon Company Incorporated in

995
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,800
the amount of 130,920

996
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,000
for the 2026 road program.

997
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,320
>> Motion has been made. Is there a second?

998
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,040
>> Second.

999
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,960
>> Motion has been made and seconded. Any

1000
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,640
discussion?

1001
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,800
>> Mr. Matson, can you explain what is

1002
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,160
covered in our road program for this

1003
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:57,040
year? Uh actually so um there's this our

1004
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:58,160
road target program is the usage of

1005
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,560
liquid fuels monies. So when anybody is

1006
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,480
driving they pay gas they pay the gas

1007
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,960
tax that money is routed to Harrisburg.

1008
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,560
Then liquid fuels monies are broken up

1009
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,359
over the 3,000 or so municipalities. Uh

1010
00:37:09,359 --> 00:37:12,160
so we have a local road program here

1011
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,760
that we do in media and our streets are

1012
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,760
um a continuation of the streets that we

1013
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,760
were paving last year. So naturally,

1014
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,680
since we have 15 miles worth of of roads

1015
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,839
in media, we don't pave all of them at

1016
00:37:23,839 --> 00:37:25,119
the same time. We pay for about a half a

1017
00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:27,359
mile of streets in town. Uh those

1018
00:37:27,359 --> 00:37:31,839
include um Manchester Church, a portion

1019
00:37:31,839 --> 00:37:34,320
of Monroe, and there's one other on the

1020
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:35,839
west end of town that I can't remember,

1021
00:37:35,839 --> 00:37:38,800
but I'll pull up. But it's about four or five different streets around

1022
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,800
town. So Damon has done good work for us

1023
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,119
in the past, very reputable contractor.

1024
00:37:43,119 --> 00:37:44,400
So it's my recommendation that this be

1025
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:45,040
awarded.

1026
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,400
>> Very good. Thank you. Uh, as there's no

1027
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,640
more discussion, uh, all those in favor

1028
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,480
of accepting the bid from AFDAN company

1029
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:56,240
in the amount of $130,920

1030
00:37:56,240 --> 00:37:59,040
for the 2026 road program, please

1031
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:00,960
signify by saying I. I.

1032
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,240
>> I. Any opposed? Say name. Motion carries

1033
00:38:04,240 --> 00:38:06,240
unanimously.

1034
00:38:06,240 --> 00:38:07,599
>> That concludes my report.

1035
00:38:07,599 --> 00:38:09,359
>> Thank you. Uh, any questions for Council

1036
00:38:09,359 --> 00:38:11,839
Member Herman?

1037
00:38:11,839 --> 00:38:13,599
hearing none. We will now move on to

1038
00:38:13,599 --> 00:38:15,440
finance media business authority and

1039
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,280
library council vice president Elizabeth

1040
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:18,640
Roma. Miss Roma and

1041
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,640
>> thank you President Poff. I don't have

1042
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,160
any leison on announcements from the

1043
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,240
library. They did not meet in July. They

1044
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:26,800
are meeting on Monday, but I do not have

1045
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,720
any announcements for them. For the

1046
00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:30,880
media business authority, um a couple of

1047
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,640
cool things have been going on in town.

1048
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,400
One, John Roberts seller will be

1049
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,000
celebrating their oneyear anniversary

1050
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,720
this week. So that's very exciting. And

1051
00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:41,599
um Glim Glimmer was featured on a new

1052
00:38:41,599 --> 00:38:43,680
segment on Positively Philly. So if you

1053
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:44,960
didn't get a chance to check that out, I

1054
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,320
think believe they do it on their social

1055
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,960
media. It was a really lovely segment.

1056
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,240
Moving on to my main agenda items.

1057
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:55,359
Uh normally this time of year, we do a

1058
00:38:55,359 --> 00:38:57,200
midyear we do a mid-year budget

1059
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:58,720
adjustment. So, it is the best practice

1060
00:38:58,720 --> 00:39:00,480
to do an adjustment um throughout the

1061
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:01,920
year financially so that way you can

1062
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,440
make any adjustments for any under or

1063
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,200
over spends in the first half of the

1064
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:06,960
year to make sure that you end the year

1065
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,839
in a good place. Um we have a couple of

1066
00:39:09,839 --> 00:39:11,599
expenses that have come to light in the

1067
00:39:11,599 --> 00:39:13,119
last week that we want to make sure that

1068
00:39:13,119 --> 00:39:14,480
we're really diligent about

1069
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,079
understanding what the full cost would

1070
00:39:16,079 --> 00:39:17,520
be and then what ultimately that

1071
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,599
adjustment would be need to be made. So,

1072
00:39:19,599 --> 00:39:21,119
we're going to I'm suggesting that we

1073
00:39:21,119 --> 00:39:23,599
table this agenda item until September.

1074
00:39:23,599 --> 00:39:25,200
We'll discuss this in detail at the

1075
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:26,800
September workshop and then hopefully

1076
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,720
ultimately um vote on it at our

1077
00:39:28,720 --> 00:39:30,720
September legislative meeting. Um

1078
00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:33,040
there's no, you know, there's no we

1079
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,960
we're under no obligation to um you

1080
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,119
know, vote on an adjustment, you know,

1081
00:39:39,119 --> 00:39:40,800
at the midyear. You can actually vote on

1082
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,720
adjustments at any time during the year.

1083
00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:44,720
So, this won't really affect our 2027

1084
00:39:44,720 --> 00:39:46,160
budgeting schedule and it won't really

1085
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:47,760
affect any of our fiscal responsibility

1086
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,160
or transparency values that we have in

1087
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,079
our finance process. We just need a

1088
00:39:52,079 --> 00:39:53,760
little bit more time to get in line with

00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,200
some some additional costs that are

1090
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:56,400
coming through.

1091
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,040
>> Thank you. As this motion was not moved,

1092
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,839
um we just leave it where it is and

1093
00:40:01,839 --> 00:40:03,599

1094
00:40:03,599 --> 00:40:06,960
>> Great. Uh my next agenda item is um as

1095
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,680
part of our desire to deliver great

00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,920
resident service and great services to

1097
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:16,160

1098
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,560
proposals for a different partner to

1099
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,560
collect business privilege and

1100
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,599
mercantile tax. Um our current partners

1101
00:40:23,599 --> 00:40:25,440
we've been with for a while. We wanted

1102
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,119
to see, you know, where if we might be

1103
00:40:27,119 --> 00:40:29,520
able to realize any gains in service or

1104
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,960
any gains in um in fees and the finance

1105
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,800
committee reviewed several different

1106
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,200
proposals and recommended that we move

1107
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,200
forward with Tri-State, which would

1108
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,359
start collection in the next fiscal

1109
00:40:41,359 --> 00:40:44,320

1135
00:41:41,359 --> 00:41:43,200
>> And uh my name is Robert Schaefer. I

1136
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:44,960
work with Tri-State Financial Group. I'm

1137
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,000
actually a a partner in the firm. I'm

1138
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,640
also the chief operating officer. Uh

1139
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:52,560
Tri-State's uh a company that's been

1140
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,880
around for quite some time. Um I've been

1141
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,760
a partner with it since 2010. They were

1142
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,599
around under a different name u for

1143
00:41:59,599 --> 00:42:01,359
about 18 years prior to that. So we're

1144
00:42:01,359 --> 00:42:04,560
not a fly by night new company. Um we go

1145
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:08,480
we handle 15 different municipalities

1146
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,040
um large ones and small ones alike. um

1147
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:12,800
small ones like East Lands on Barrow,

1148
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:17,359
just not even 100 u businesses up to uh

1149
00:42:17,359 --> 00:42:19,280
the city of Bethlehem, you know,

1150
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,040
thousands and thousands of businesses,

1151
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,040
probably 13,000 businesses up there,

1152
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:24,319
including their rentals and things like

1153
00:42:24,319 --> 00:42:27,599
that. I have small dollar amounts u you

1154
00:42:27,599 --> 00:42:29,920
know, and large ones. I do handle Upper

1155
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,440
Marian Township, which is extremely

1156
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,920
large, is the largest, if not second

1157
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,079
largest, business privilege mercantil

1158
00:42:36,079 --> 00:42:39,440
collections in the state. Um uh I have

1159
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:40,960
been around doing this probably since

1160
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,359
1994. I actually had a long time ago

1161
00:42:43,359 --> 00:42:45,440
worked uh in Media Barrow doing

1162
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:46,960
collections in Media Barrow under a

1163
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,440
different company uh just as a worker uh

1164
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,880
back in like 1994 I believe that was. Um

1165
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,520
and you know we've been doing business

1166
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,079
privilege for a long time. Um and we are

1167
00:42:58,079 --> 00:43:01,119
a business privilege administrator. Yes,

1168
00:43:01,119 --> 00:43:04,000
we do a couple um local service taxes

1169
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,160
for some of our jurisdictions that would

1170
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,319
like us to do that for them. It's just a

1171
00:43:08,319 --> 00:43:09,920
handful and I do a couple small

1172
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,880
amusement taxes as well. Um but I think

1173
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,359
why we do things good is because we're a

1174
00:43:15,359 --> 00:43:17,200
business tax administrator. So business

1175
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,359
privilege mercantil tax, that's what we

1176
00:43:19,359 --> 00:43:21,599
do. Uh if you have any questions, I'm

1177
00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:23,520
glad to answer them for you.

1178
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,280

1215
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,800
archives. Uh I don't have any liaison

1216
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,040
announcements. Uh the mayor covered the

1217
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,040
main one with the accredititation uh for

1218
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,119

1219
00:45:03,119 --> 00:45:05,839
feather in our cap. I have two uh items

1220
00:45:05,839 --> 00:45:08,960
of business. Uh very uh one is

1221
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,040
relatively simple and the other there's

1222
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,000
a little complexity but but not much. Um

1223
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:15,680
the first item is the mass gathering

1224
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,920
permit application for Media Elementary

1225
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,480
School's welcome back block party. It's

1226
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,760
scheduled for September 25th from 4 to

1227
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,560
900 p.m. on Edgemont Street with a rain

1228
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,760
date of October 2nd of 2026.

1229
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,160
And uh this is one that uh did not go

1230
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:33,760
through public safety. We didn't meet

1231
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:37,119
last month. Um however, it's one that I

1232
00:45:37,119 --> 00:45:38,640
checked with the committee and nobody

1233
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,160
had any problems with it as it's

1234
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,480
something that happens every year. So I

1235
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,160
make that in the form of a motion.

1236
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:45,440
>> The motion has been made. Is there a

1237
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,440

seconded. Any discussion?

1239
00:45:49,839 --> 00:45:51,520
All those in favor of approving the mass

1240
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,200

>> The motion passes unanimously.

1246
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:04,880
>> And the next item was actually approved

1247
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,119
by the committee months ago but then uh

1248
00:46:07,119 --> 00:46:09,280
we were requested to pull it back

1249
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,400
because there was a circumstance uh with

1250
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,640
the sponsors of the event but it is back

1251
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,839
on. So, uh, I'm proud to say and happy

1252
00:46:17,839 --> 00:46:20,240
to say that, uh, I will make a motion

1253
00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:22,000

1254
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,480
this, uh, to approve a mass gathering

1255
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:26,640

00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,920
State to Baker Streets and the run will

1265
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,400
follow the normal parade route. I make

1266
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,079
that in the form of a motion.

1267
00:46:52,079 --> 00:46:53,440
>> The motion has been made. Is there a

1268
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,680
second?

1269
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:56,560
>> Second.

1270
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:57,920
>> Motion has been seconded. Any

1271
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,000
discussion?

1272
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,440
>> This I would point to as an a moment in

1273
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,560
time where our residents have stepped up

1274
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,800
um to keep something that they really

1275
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,520
like going. I I credit our vice

1276
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,599
president who kept the uh Halloween

1277
00:47:13,599 --> 00:47:16,800
parade going um almost single-handedly.

1278
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:18,880
Um you know this kind of thing is

1279
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:20,880
wonderful that the community is

1280
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,520
absorbing situations where individuals

1281
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,640
are not able to continue. So uh it's

1282
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,160
just again it's another wonderful thing

1283
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,400
for our community.

1284
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,880
>> Thank you. Any additional discussion?

1285
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,520
Are we comfortable discussing the like

1286
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,400
what I I'm not sure that everyone knows

1287
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,040
why we're kind of talking about it being

1288
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:42,560
a different situation than previous

1289
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:43,839
years. Can we talk about

1290
00:47:43,839 --> 00:47:45,760
>> the individuals who had run it

1291
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,560
previously I think had just determined

1292
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,280
that they were not ready to continue

1293
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:56,800
>> to hold it. And when word got out that was likely going to be the case, a

1294
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,319
lot of our residents came together to

1295
00:48:00,319 --> 00:48:02,960
put together an organization or or a set

1296
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:04,960
of sponsorships I guess I guess is the

1297
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:09,440
right way to say it. Um to hold it and make it happen.

1298
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,720
>> Uh so I think that is that uh that's

1299
00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:14,720
clear

1300
00:48:14,720 --> 00:48:17,119
provide a little clarity on it. Um yeah,

1301
00:48:17,119 --> 00:48:19,359
so it it the

1302
00:48:19,359 --> 00:48:22,559
it it is true the the steering committee

1303
00:48:22,559 --> 00:48:24,319
who had been planning for many years had

1304
00:48:24,319 --> 00:48:26,319
met that sponsorship dollars have dried

1305
00:48:26,319 --> 00:48:28,400
up. It's you know there's it's a parade

1306
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,480
that does take some bit of money to put

1307
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,559
on. It's a wonderful event. Um and they

1308
00:48:32,559 --> 00:48:35,119
decided you know this is the year that

1309
00:48:35,119 --> 00:48:37,280
we sunset the event. They did make that

1310
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:38,480
announcement formally that they were

1311
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:39,599
going to not move forward with the

1312
00:48:39,599 --> 00:48:42,319
parade and there was a ground swell of

1313
00:48:42,319 --> 00:48:46,400
um of people volunteering to volunteer

1314
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,160
to continue to have it. So the committee

1315
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,640
then had an open meeting with volunteers

1316
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:52,640
and they um have been exploring

1317
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:53,920
different revenue sources.

1318
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:54,480
>> Mhm.

1319
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:56,559
>> To generate and I up to and including I

1320
00:48:56,559 --> 00:48:57,920
believe there's a GoFundMe going on

1321
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,079
right now. Um, and they are speaking

1322
00:49:00,079 --> 00:49:01,520
they are seeking sponsors for the

1323
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,200
parade. But it is their intent right now

1324
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:04,960
to move forward with the parade and the

1325
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,319
event as it has been in the past,

1326
00:49:08,319 --> 00:49:11,040
but it does need the support of revenue

1327
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,200
from our community and sponsors. So, you

1328
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:14,480
know, certainly if that's something that

1329
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:15,760
you're interested in funding as an

1330
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,520
individual or a sponsorship, you know,

1331
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,400
all that information is on social media.

1332
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:21,359
>> Thank you.

1333
00:49:21,359 --> 00:49:23,760
>> Very good. Thank you.

1334
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,160
>> Any other discussion?

1335
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:27,760
All those in favor of approving the mass

1336
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,200
gathering permit application for the

1337
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,359
Santa parade fun run and block party to

1338
00:49:31,359 --> 00:49:33,599
be held on Sunday, November 29th,

1339
00:49:33,599 --> 00:49:35,839
signify by saying I. I

1340
00:49:35,839 --> 00:49:38,559
>> opposed. The motion passes unanimously.

1341
00:49:38,559 --> 00:49:40,559
>> Thank you. Uh that concludes my report.

1342
00:49:40,559 --> 00:49:43,760
>> Any questions for pres president.

1343
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:44,240
>> Okay.

1344
00:49:44,240 --> 00:49:46,559
>> Thank you. Uh moving on now to community

1345
00:49:46,559 --> 00:49:48,720
development and the environmental

1346
00:49:48,720 --> 00:49:50,960
advisory council. Uh council member Lisa

1347
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:52,319
Gellman. Miss Gellman.

1348
00:49:52,319 --> 00:49:54,480
>> Thank you, Mr. President. Um I do not

1349
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,079
have any leison on announcements. The

1350
00:49:56,079 --> 00:49:58,319
EAC did not have their regular meeting

1351
00:49:58,319 --> 00:50:00,880
scheduled in July. They have their

1352
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,839
retreat during that time. Um I do have

1353
00:50:03,839 --> 00:50:06,240
several legislative items. The first of

1354
00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:09,359
which is for the ordinance number 119 of

1355
00:50:09,359 --> 00:50:12,079
2026 amendments to seasonal outdoor cafe

1356
00:50:12,079 --> 00:50:14,000
dining ordinance. We've talked about

1357
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,720
this for several months now and it has

1358
00:50:16,720 --> 00:50:19,280
been advertised and today we will be

1359
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:23,040
voting on that ordinance.

1360
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:24,720
I'm sorry. Can you repeat that?

1361
00:50:24,720 --> 00:50:26,800
>> Today we will be voting on the ordinance

1362
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:28,640
after

1363
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:30,559
it feels like multiple months of actual

1364
00:50:30,559 --> 00:50:30,960
discuss

1365
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,280
>> seasonal outdoor cafe dining.

1366
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:34,480
>> Did you make a motion?

1367
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,000
>> Um and I make that in the form of a

1368
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:36,319
motion.

1369
00:50:36,319 --> 00:50:38,640
>> Thank you. That was what I uh motion has

1370
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,040
been made. Is there a second?

1371
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:41,920
>> Second.

1372
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:43,760
>> Motion's been made and seconded. Any

1373
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:45,440
discussion? Council member Gman, do you

1374
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,400
want to go into any specifics? Um, we

1375
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,800
have talked at length about how the

1376
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,480
seasonal outdoor cafe [laughter]

1377
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,280
previously had been on the books where

1378
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:59,119
you could not have that second row of um

1379
00:50:59,119 --> 00:51:02,319
tables had to be touching the housing or

1380
00:51:02,319 --> 00:51:03,839
of the building.

1381
00:51:03,839 --> 00:51:06,640
>> Um, but now we are going to be able to

1382
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,319
have multiple rows as long as [music] it

1383
00:51:08,319 --> 00:51:11,599
meets all ADA standards. the the ordin

1384
00:51:11,599 --> 00:51:13,599
the the requirements have for outdoor

1385
00:51:13,599 --> 00:51:16,240
dining were split between two ordinances

1386
00:51:16,240 --> 00:51:18,720
previously which made it yeah you could

1387
00:51:18,720 --> 00:51:21,280
easily miss it thinking you found what

1388
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:23,520
governs the ordinance that governs it.

1389
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:24,960
So [clears throat] I removed it all from

1390
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:26,960
the the health code and put it all on

1391
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,200
the sidewalk code consolidated into one

1392
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,319
place and kind of filled out the process

1393
00:51:32,319 --> 00:51:34,640
the the requirement to get an annual um

1394
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,640
permit. It was kind of implied before

1395
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:38,240
but wasn't really explicit. So, it's

1396
00:51:38,240 --> 00:51:40,079
just cleaning it up a lot.

1397
00:51:40,079 --> 00:51:40,960
>> Thank you.

1398
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:42,770
>> Um, one question for clarification.

1399
00:51:42,770 --> 00:51:44,559
[clears throat] Um, since we're sitting

1400
00:51:44,559 --> 00:51:46,079
here on August 20th and we're in the

1401
00:51:46,079 --> 00:51:49,200
back half of the seasonal dining season,

1402
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,920
when does this come into effect or like

1403
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:53,760
when do we start collecting fees? Is it

1404
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:55,680
this year or are we prating it?

1405
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,160
>> No. Yes. It's going to be for 2027. Yes.

1406
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,400
>> Okay. Thank you.

1407
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,200
>> Very good. Any more discussion? Hearing

1408
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,119
none. All those in favor of ordinance

1409
00:52:05,119 --> 00:52:07,040
number of approving ordinance number

1410
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:08,800
1179

1411
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:12,400
of 2026 amendments to seasonal outdoor

1412
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:16,160
cafe dining ordinance. Please say I. I.

1413
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,960
>> Any opposed say nay. Motion carries

1414
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,200
unanimously.

1415
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:23,440
>> Okay. So not the most glamorous

1416
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,520
legislative item. [laughter]

1417
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,400
However, this has taken up um quite a

1418
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,280
lot of discussion in CDC and that is

1419
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,599
that we are now authorizing the

1420
00:52:33,599 --> 00:52:35,839
solicitor to advertise the grease trap

1421
00:52:35,839 --> 00:52:38,559
maintenance and cleaning ordinance. Um

1422
00:52:38,559 --> 00:52:40,720
this has this was something that brought

1423
00:52:40,720 --> 00:52:44,319
was brought to us by Aqua. Um so that we

1424
00:52:44,319 --> 00:52:47,760
can best regulate what's happening right

1425
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:52,160
now within our crease. Um I I don't even

1426
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:55,359
know how to go on about this. [laughter]

1427
00:52:55,359 --> 00:52:58,480
Uh so between our engineer and our

1428
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:00,000
solicitor they might be able to explain

1429
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,000
this better.

1430
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:03,839
>> Well

1431
00:53:03,839 --> 00:53:06,800
restaurants are required to to do to

1432
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,800
clean their grease traps and if they

1433
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:12,160
don't it ends up grease gets passed into

1434
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,319
the pipes and clogs and then sewage

1435
00:53:14,319 --> 00:53:18,480
flows down the streets which I've seen

1436
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,359
is not uncommon. Um, this sets up a

1437
00:53:21,359 --> 00:53:23,599
requirement that restaurants uh um

1438
00:53:23,599 --> 00:53:26,240
operators do cleaning on a regular

1439
00:53:26,240 --> 00:53:28,720
basis, keep the records of it, make them

1440
00:53:28,720 --> 00:53:30,640
available for inspection if the bur

1441
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,440
determines they need to, and they'll get

1442
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:37,520
fined if they haven't been complying.

1443
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,000
Uh the the other issue is that at the

1444
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:41,520
plant where everything is ultimately

1445
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,720
treated, uh the plant has a permit and

1446
00:53:44,720 --> 00:53:46,559
that permit has certain requirements of

1447
00:53:46,559 --> 00:53:49,520
things that they're allowed to uh treat

1448
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,359
every single day. The D takes it very

1449
00:53:51,359 --> 00:53:52,720
seriously that they don't exceed the

1450
00:53:52,720 --> 00:53:55,599
permits. Uh in the last couple years, uh

1451
00:53:55,599 --> 00:53:57,520
there the the policing between the

1452
00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:58,880
creation of the county health department

1453
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:00,480
and transitions about who was doing

1454
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,319
inspections was a little bit loose. Some

1455
00:54:02,319 --> 00:54:03,520
of those things started to elevate. So

1456
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:05,680
we got we got flagged by Aqua who said

1457
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:07,280
can we tighten up some of our protocols

1458
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:08,960
about Greece so that we can prevent

1459
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:10,079
things from getting into the sewer

1460
00:54:10,079 --> 00:54:12,079
system before it gets sent to us so that

1461
00:54:12,079 --> 00:54:13,839
we can maintain regulatory compliance

1462
00:54:13,839 --> 00:54:16,240
and we don't have to either issue um

1463
00:54:16,240 --> 00:54:18,559
moratoriums or citations to any of the

1464
00:54:18,559 --> 00:54:19,920
parent municipalities. So there are

1465
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:21,359
three towns that discharge into that

1466
00:54:21,359 --> 00:54:23,280
plant. This is it's really helpful to

1467
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:25,200
keep the plant in compliance but also

1468
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:26,960
like Bob said to keep our system clean

1469
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,280
and everything flowing neatly.

1470
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,119
>> Thank you. Um, I also want to say that

1471
00:54:31,119 --> 00:54:33,760
CDC spent um just I mean I don't know

1472
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:35,839
hours it feels like talking about how

1473
00:54:35,839 --> 00:54:38,240
best to put this in practice so that

1474
00:54:38,240 --> 00:54:40,400
we're not overburdening our burough

1475
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:44,559
employees um so that it works with

1476
00:54:44,559 --> 00:54:46,559
everybody with both burrow and the

1477
00:54:46,559 --> 00:54:50,400
businesses and aqua and so on. So, um I

1478
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,440
do think that we came up with a a good

1479
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,319
solution and um so therefore we are

1480
00:54:56,319 --> 00:54:58,319
authorizing the solicitor to advertise

1481
00:54:58,319 --> 00:55:00,079
the grease trap maintenance and cleaning

1482
00:55:00,079 --> 00:55:02,079
ordinance. Thank you again for your all

1483
00:55:02,079 --> 00:55:04,720
of your support. Um and I offer that up

1484
00:55:04,720 --> 00:55:05,760
in the form of a motion.

1485
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,319
>> Very good. Uh is there a motion has been

1486
00:55:08,319 --> 00:55:09,839
made. Is there a second?

1487
00:55:09,839 --> 00:55:10,559
>> Second.

1488
00:55:10,559 --> 00:55:13,280
>> Motion has been made and seconded. Any

1489
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:14,800
discussion?

1490
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,440
And I am counting on you, Miss Delgos.

1491
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:19,599
Yeah, I I'm glad that we can grease the

1492
00:55:19,599 --> 00:55:20,880
wheels to compliance.

1493
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:21,359
>> Oh,

1494
00:55:21,359 --> 00:55:22,240
>> thank you.

1495
00:55:22,240 --> 00:55:23,599
>> There we go.

1496
00:55:23,599 --> 00:55:25,520
>> I've been waiting all night.

1497
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:27,839
>> I've been waiting 55 minutes. [laughter]

1498
00:55:27,839 --> 00:55:29,280
I don't know why it's taking this long.

1499
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,678
>> There was never an opportunity.

1500
00:55:32,678 --> 00:55:33,680
[laughter]

1501
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:35,200
>> It's not like the resignation of a

1502
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,160
council member lends itself to uh puns.

1503
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:42,503
Um although Taylor is done, I guess.

1504
00:55:42,503 --> 00:55:44,079
[laughter]

1505
00:55:44,079 --> 00:55:45,920
>> I I had to go there.

1506
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:47,200
said that with regret.

1507
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:48,559
>> With regret. [snorts]

1508
00:55:48,559 --> 00:55:53,520
Yes, we're not done with uh

1509
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:54,799
hearing. No more discussion on the

1510
00:55:54,799 --> 00:55:56,079
matter. All those in favor of

1511
00:55:56,079 --> 00:55:58,079
authorizing our solicitor to advertise

1512
00:55:58,079 --> 00:56:00,160
the grease trap maintenance and cleaning

1513
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,680
ordinance, please signify by saying I.

1514
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:04,319
>> I.

1515
00:56:04,319 --> 00:56:07,280
>> Any opposed say nay.

1516
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,559
>> Motion passes unanimously.

1517
00:56:10,559 --> 00:56:14,160
>> Thank you. Um, my next item is for

1518
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:16,559
resolution number 2026-55,

1519
00:56:16,559 --> 00:56:18,480
request for PA council on the arts

1520

creative districts program grant

1521
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,240
application.

1522
00:56:22,240 --> 00:56:28,160
I do not have more information on that I can share. I don't recall. I know

1523
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:28,960
there's

1524
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,520
>> is this the letter of support

1525
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,880
>> from from the MBA and the media arts

1526
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:38,240
council to support basically we have to

1527
00:56:38,240 --> 00:56:40,079
approve the letter that would support

1528
00:56:40,079 --> 00:56:42,079
their grant application that they they

1529
00:56:42,079 --> 00:56:43,760
are managing but this would be part of

1530
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:44,400
that.

1531
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:44,960
>> Yeah,

1532
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,440
>> we are going to support the grant

1533
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:49,359
application that the MBA will be

1534
00:56:49,359 --> 00:56:52,000
requesting for the creative districts

1535
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:53,520
program grant. Thank you.

1536
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:54,480
>> Very good.

1537
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,960
>> And I offer that up in a motion. Motion

1538
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,040
has been made. Is there a second?

1539
00:56:59,040 --> 00:56:59,520
>> Second.

1540
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:01,440
>> Motion's been made and seconded. Any

1541
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:03,359
discussion?

1542
00:57:03,359 --> 00:57:05,359
>> Hearing none. Uh, all those in favor of

1543
00:57:05,359 --> 00:57:08,480
resolution number 2026-55.

1544
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,720
Uh, the request for Pennsylvania Council

1545
00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:12,720
on the Arts Creative District's program

1546
00:57:12,720 --> 00:57:15,280
grant application, please signify by

1547
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:16,559
saying I.

1548
00:57:16,559 --> 00:57:19,200
>> I. Any opposed? Say nay.

1549
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,839
>> Motion carries unanimously.

1550
00:57:21,839 --> 00:57:24,960
>> Okay. Um, finally, we are to have a

1551
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,040
discussion on the 2026 State Street

1552
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:29,440
District holiday signage.

1553
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,000
And I believe we have

1554
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:33,280
handouts on that.

1555
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:40,150
>> It's a little show and tell.

1556
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:44,319
» Mr. Fairman did come to um CDC to show

1557
00:57:44,319 --> 00:57:47,839
us one of these. Uh,

1558
00:57:47,839 --> 00:57:52,400
we're um this is quite large. it sits on

1559
00:57:52,400 --> 00:58:00,150
the ground and so forth. So,

1560
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:01,599
do you mind if I jump in with some table

1561
00:58:01,599 --> 00:58:03,280
setting? Sorry.

1562
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:04,160
>> Do you mind if I like

1563
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:04,880
>> Yeah, go ahead.

1564
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:08,079
>> So, so

1565
00:58:08,079 --> 00:58:10,400
many of us really enjoy a lot of the

1566
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:12,559
holiday decorations that happen in

1567
00:58:12,559 --> 00:58:14,400
downtown State Street. Um, you know,

1568
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,000
they go up in November and they go

1569
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:17,760
throughout January. You know, the

1570
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:19,280
lights, the trees, the decorations, they

1571
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,280
do come at an expense. So believe the

1572
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:26,079
MBA is looking for additional um revenue

1573
00:58:26,079 --> 00:58:28,160
uh opportunities to help offset those

1574
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,640
costs. Certainly there are events and

1575
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:32,720
there are sponsors, but this is uh

1576
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:34,559
another way that they might be able to

1577
00:58:34,559 --> 00:58:36,960
generate revenue to offset those costs.

1578
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,359
So what you're seeing here would be a

1579
00:58:39,359 --> 00:58:40,960
stansion sign and you'll see some

1580
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,760
mockups and a map of where the

1581
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,400
recommendation would be. Um, and that's

1582
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:48,160
why this is put forth because this would

1583
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:51,040
be another way to just generate some

1584
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,920
revenue, offer some sponsorships, um,

1585
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:55,520
and really support sort of the holiday

1586
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:57,920
feeling in downtown in the downtown

1587
00:58:57,920 --> 00:58:59,119
streets district.

1588
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:01,280
>> Um, and if I may add, Mr. Fairman

1589
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:03,839
mentioned how this particular size is

1590
00:59:03,839 --> 00:59:06,640
going to be fit like um, what was

1591
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:08,720
previously not available as far as not

1592
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:10,720
being too small and not being too big.

1593
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:14,480
It was like the Goldilocks of signs for

1594
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:17,760
um sponsorships of a block instead of

1595
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:20,400
like the giant sign for the entire

1596
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:21,040
street.

1597
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:25,680
>> That's right. And we can see the

1598
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:29,280
12 of them I think is what it was.

1599
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,400
>> I don't think we need to be taking a

1600
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:33,839
vote right now, but I think the

1601
00:59:33,839 --> 00:59:35,680
discussion was supposed to be how are we

1602
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,559
feeling about having these signs? I

1603
00:59:38,559 --> 00:59:40,400
originally I thought I remember us

1604
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:43,359
talking about the CDC was concerned

1605
00:59:43,359 --> 00:59:46,240
about it, you know, getting in the way

1606
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:48,559
um maybe being cluttered,

1607
00:59:48,559 --> 00:59:52,079
having any issues with ADA, but we're

1608
00:59:52,079 --> 00:59:53,920
>> that's my only question.

1609
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:56,400
>> This is not going to be a problem. Does

1610
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,599
anyone have any other

1611
00:59:59,599 --> 01:00:02,960
>> concerns? I mean, my only real concern

1612
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,280
would be on especially number nine there

1613
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,240
where it's that's already a very busy

1614
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:09,359
area.

1615
01:00:09,359 --> 01:00:11,760
>> That might be a bit too much for trying

1616
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,880
to navigate again any ADA issue and as

1617
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:18,720
well as just people walking with a dog.

1618
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,599
>> I have seen so many, you know, tight

1619
01:00:21,599 --> 01:00:23,040
squeezes in there.

1620
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:24,559
>> It's It is tight.

1621
01:00:24,559 --> 01:00:27,520
>> Oh, yes.

1622
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:30,480
>> It can be tight. And if we had any snow

1623
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:32,960
or situation before

1624
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:34,559
>> the new year, it would be a problem.

1625
01:00:34,559 --> 01:00:36,079
>> You have any crazy snow patterns that

1626
01:00:36,079 --> 01:00:38,559
knock over any any meter posts?

1627
01:00:38,559 --> 01:00:40,559
>> Yeah.

1628
01:00:40,559 --> 01:00:42,400
>> And he also said that he would do his

1629
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:45,440
best to try to um you know pair up the

1630
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:47,760
sponsoring business with the actual

1631
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:49,920
block that business is on and hope not

1632
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:53,359
to um encourage other competitors block

1633
01:00:53,359 --> 01:00:58,720
so forth. So, I'm sure that the MBA would do their

1634
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:01,599
best to try to make it the best

1635
01:01:01,599 --> 01:01:03,520
placement

1636
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:04,880
to put my back to.

1637
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:06,640
>> Okay.

1638
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,839
>> So, do they do they need um what do they

1639
01:01:09,839 --> 01:01:10,640
need from us?

1640
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:12,079
>> I don't.

1641
01:01:12,079 --> 01:01:13,760
>> It's my understanding that we don't need

1642
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:15,920
to vote that the MBA was coming to

1643
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:18,559
council to just get their buy in, but

1644
01:01:18,559 --> 01:01:20,079
there actually isn't a need for approval

1645
01:01:20,079 --> 01:01:21,680
or a vote. They just wanted to make sure

1646
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:24,400
that like we were cool with it. Yeah.

1647
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:26,240
>> Again, I just as long as there are no

1648
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,880
ADA concerns, um, as long as there are

1649
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:32,319
no legal worries, then this

1650
01:01:32,319 --> 01:01:34,880
>> maybe we get feedback that number nine

1651
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:38,000
doesn't look great, but the other 11

1652
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,240
seem probably okay.

1653
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:41,520
>> Maybe they could relocate it.

1654
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:42,880
>> Mayor, do you think that there's any

1655
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:45,200
other spots there that

1656
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:48,319
>> um, see? Yeah, I mean, I think number

1657
01:01:48,319 --> 01:01:50,480
nine's definitely a standout spot where

1658
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,640
like, you know, you change the area

1659
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:55,839
there. Uh, if possible, maybe try to put

1660
01:01:55,839 --> 01:02:02,319
it like inside or toward the uh the the

1661
01:02:02,319 --> 01:02:04,160
mall, the medium mall,

1662
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:05,200
>> just right in front of the mall.

1663
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:07,440
>> Yeah, like in front, but maybe just like

1664
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:09,760
on the opposite side of that.

1665
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:11,760
>> Yeah. Just to kind of show people that

1666
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,160
there's something going in there going

1667
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:16,799
on in there. Oh, my thing's off. Oh, I'm

1668
01:02:16,799 --> 01:02:18,960
so sorry. Oh my gosh. [laughter]

1669
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,760
But my comments were just about u

1670
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:24,079
contestant number nine kind of sticking

1671
01:02:24,079 --> 01:02:28,240
out a little bit too much. So um yeah, I

1672
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:30,640
think that that's my issue there. As

1673
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,680
long as it's not blocking anything um

1674
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:36,000
you know like uh visibility or anything

1675
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:39,200
like that and near curbs that people

1676
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:41,119
might be using. I'm Yeah,

1677
01:02:41,119 --> 01:02:43,680
>> I see number one at one end of the Plum

1678
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:46,000
Street Mall. Could nine be relocated to

1679
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,079
the other side?

1680
01:02:48,079 --> 01:02:49,520
you know that I mean that's just an idea

1681
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:49,839
that I

1682
01:02:49,839 --> 01:02:51,440
>> right that might that might be something

1683
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:52,559
>> because there's a lot of foot traffic

1684
01:02:52,559 --> 01:02:53,359
there also.

1685
01:02:53,359 --> 01:02:56,079
>> Yeah. Yeah. That I think that's a great

1686
01:02:56,079 --> 01:02:57,839
way to

1687
01:02:57,839 --> 01:02:59,599
repurpose that one. Yeah.

1688
01:02:59,599 --> 01:03:00,400
>> Very good.

1689
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:00,720
>> Okay.

1690
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:01,440
>> Great. Thank you.

1691
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:02,400
>> Thank you.

1692
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,160
>> Great discussion. It's a great idea.

1693
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:05,920
>> So I mean it did come to CDC and we did

1694
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:07,359
look at it but it was something that we

1695
01:03:07,359 --> 01:03:09,119
wanted to bring before all of council.

1696
01:03:09,119 --> 01:03:09,920
>> Oh great. Thank you.

1697
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:10,400
>> Thank you.

1698
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:11,920
>> That concludes my report.

1699
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:13,200
>> Thank you. Any questions for council

1700
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:15,039
member Galman?

1701
01:03:15,039 --> 01:03:17,039
Hearing none. Uh we'll now move on to

1702
01:03:17,039 --> 01:03:18,799
properties, public works, and shade tree

1703
01:03:18,799 --> 01:03:20,559
commission. Council member Jen Malcoun

1704
01:03:20,559 --> 01:03:22,079
again uh she's not able to be with us

1705
01:03:22,079 --> 01:03:24,960
tonight. Um so her report will be

1706
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:26,799
delivered by council member Amelia

1707
01:03:26,799 --> 01:03:28,000
Delgroso.

1708
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,559
>> Thank you, Mr. President. Um so for

1709
01:03:30,559 --> 01:03:32,960
liaison announcements,

1710
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:34,960
um let's see, there [clears throat] is

1711
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:36,880
an open seat on the shade tree

1712
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,920
commission, so please consider joining.

1713
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:46,470
Um and

1714
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:48,079
Oh, the media youth center is moving

1715
01:03:48,079 --> 01:03:50,240
forward with their project for a sport

1716
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:53,440
court. Um, and I believe the next steps

1717
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:56,559
for that are engaging with um neighbors

1718
01:03:56,559 --> 01:03:58,720
to make sure there are no objections to

1719
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,599
that. Uh, Mr. Matson, is there any color

1720
01:04:01,599 --> 01:04:03,440
you'd like to add to that? I had the

1721
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:05,039
opportunity to meet with their uh

1722
01:04:05,039 --> 01:04:06,720
representative today and with Larry

1723
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:08,000
Johnson just at the site just to go over

1724
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,000
some logistics but it look it looks like

1725
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,079
a a promising application and again look

1726
01:04:12,079 --> 01:04:13,039
forward to making sure that they have

1727
01:04:13,039 --> 01:04:14,960
all their details buttoned up uh as they

1728
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:16,559
move forward with uh the next committee

1729
01:04:16,559 --> 01:04:17,039
review.

1730
01:04:17,039 --> 01:04:20,480
>> Thank you. All right so I think that is

1731
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:23,200
the liaison announcements. Um, so then

1732
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:26,160
moving to the first order of business,

1733
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:30,079
which is resolution 2026-56,

1734
01:04:30,079 --> 01:04:33,760
authorization to sell 1995 K Cabota

1735
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:35,839

1736
01:04:35,839 --> 01:04:40,400
tractor to Forge Rentals for $6,1

1737
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:42,319
which I make in the form of a motion.

1738
01:04:42,319 --> 01:04:45,119
>> Motion has been made. Is there a second?

1739
01:04:45,119 --> 01:04:46,400
>> Second.

1740
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:48,240
>> Motion's been made and seconded. Any

1741
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,240
discussion?

1742
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:52,480
And it looks like we already have a new

1743
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:53,280
tractor.

1744
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,599
>> Oh, yeah. I'm I'm a fan of getting money

1745
01:04:55,599 --> 01:04:58,880
for 31-year-old tractor.

1746
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:00,319
All those [laughter] in favor of

1747
01:05:00,319 --> 01:05:03,440

01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:46,240
getting getting cleared out.

1766
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:47,039
>> Dumping the dump truck.

1767
01:05:47,039 --> 01:05:48,559
>> Dumping. Yes, we're dumping the truck.

1768
01:05:48,559 --> 01:05:51,430
Thank you. [laughter]

1769
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:55,119
» Excellent. Uh, any more discussion?

for housing and parking garage

1783
01:06:26,079 --> 01:06:28,400
feasibility study, which I make in the

1784
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:29,520
form of a motion.

1785
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:32,079

1786
01:06:32,079 --> 01:06:32,640

01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:38,319
>> So in the dropbox um under properties

1790
01:06:38,319 --> 01:06:40,160
public works, you'll find a memo from

1791
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:42,079
Alli Garrett. Um so high level the

01:06:42,079 --> 01:06:44,559
purpose of this grant is to provide

01:06:44,559 --> 01:06:46,160

01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:49,280
community improvement and future capital

1796
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:52,720
projects. Um so for our purposes um

1797
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:54,240
administration recommends applying to

1798
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:56,400

>> uh in in reviewing the bureau's

1839
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:17,679
recycling grant application noted they kind of do a compliance check on

1840
01:08:17,679 --> 01:08:21,199
your ordinance and they require that

1841
01:08:21,199 --> 01:08:24,239
there be local regulation of recycling

1842
01:08:24,239 --> 01:08:27,199
at community events and our ordinance

1843
01:08:27,199 --> 01:08:29,600
has no definition of community events.

1844
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:31,920
So they directed that the ordinance

1845
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:33,679
should be amended to include such a

1846
01:08:33,679 --> 01:08:35,759
definition in order for the bur to be

1847
01:08:35,759 --> 01:08:38,000
eligible for grant funding

1848
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:39,440

01:08:39,440 --> 01:08:41,120

Um, however, I do not believe we have

1864
01:09:13,279 --> 01:09:15,920
enough information from the organization

1865
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:17,759
