[4:17] H monitors and vehicle chargers.

[4:23] Thank you, Commissioner.

[4:27] We'll shake the over to ask the standpoint,

[4:45] stop in and give you a little bit of highlights

[4:47] for the years so far.

[4:52] Different. In January, break order announced his retirement. He moved

[4:58] on to a position with UTMC since March. I've been the interim director, so I'm trying

[5:05] to cut where he left off.

[5:11] I'm doing some good stuff. I'm starting a pre-hostile blood

[5:16] program. So we were the first ones in the North Hills to do that. That was an 18-month-long

[5:23] process.

[5:27] The program's live. I would have had six administrations so far. And after doing

[5:32] this for 30 years, I always thought it was pretty cool to be able to wake up and die about

[5:35] some sugar. Pick somebody up it's bleeding and unconscious and by the time it gets a little

[5:41] hospital they're answering questions is really really impressive. So I'm very pleased with that

[5:47] program. It's going to be a really good thing for not only our primary service area, the

[5:52] area of insurance, that's where we can respond.

[5:59] Since 2023, I'm doing a lot of work trying to get

[6:03] up lead updated to date. We've replaced five of the ambulance with new trucks of those

[6:10] three of them were on federal grants. We have two grants pending for the remaining two

[6:15] in the fleet. So the majority of our capital expenses for the past three years have been

[6:21] on the grant line. Which is great. I'm excited about that. The trouble with that is once you

[6:27] get so many grants, then you lose that financial need that they're looking for, and you lose

[6:31] It's the, you know, my chart doesn't have 200,000 miles on it, so they're going to start

[6:35] to the window.

[6:36] We'll find more somewhere else to get that.

[6:40] Our call volume, so year-to-date, we've had 5,056 dispatches of that 3,539 people transported.

[6:51] 208 of those calls were reserved counted.

[6:55] That accounts for about 3.8% of our call volume, well, 0.85 calls per day.

[7:02] Why do I tell you that?

[7:07] The question comes up of the station on Mount Troy.

[7:12] Talking to Jane, she said people asked her,

[7:14] why is my name is Parker all the time,

[7:16] and this is kind of why.

[7:18] So we have five communities that we cover.

[7:20] We teach police that as units,

[7:22] from the main station on a daily basis,

[7:24] where they're going to be needed the most.

[7:27] We watch our response times,

[7:28] watch when things are happening,

[7:30] we watch traffic, construction,

[7:32] all that kind of stuff.

[7:33] with construction they've been doing on Ivory Avenue.

[7:37] That's our primary group getting here.

[7:40] So our easiest solution is we park truck down towards

[7:43] Evergreen's Fire Station and that's on the corridor.

[7:46] It allows us to use the access to mobile enough to hear

[7:48] and then to that southern part of our house counter.

[7:51] So we do keep an eye on that.

[7:54] Responses into the counter.

[7:56] Based on time and day,

[7:57] data lights are busiest time.

[7:59] It's 102 calls.

[8:01] Of course, the years so far.

[8:02] are 66 and during the 3011 time period and 40 of them overnight from the 21 p.m. and

[8:09] 7 a.m., so that's easiest time to get anywhere than was on the road, it's easy.

[8:18] The station on reserve, I talked to Chief Moore on his latest yesterday and I know they want

[8:25] to do some staffing and if they want to do some more things to improve their operations

[8:30] there, they want to do some renovations. Recently, we found mold.

[8:35] Significantly worse quickly,

[8:37] coming out of furniture, everything else. I can't put people in the station right now until we

[8:41] invade that. We're working on joint plans to do that. We're working on some ideas on grant funding,

[8:47] has some calls into BCD, some of the other agencies to be able to help support us. I think we have a pretty

[8:54] good case, you know, air condition. What's that? It's not air condition. It is air condition.

[9:00] The truck was with being a basement. It's always been damp. In the 30 years I've been here,

[9:05] it's never been dry. We've always had decumentifiers running, things like that. It's just worse now,

[9:12] for whatever the reason is, they've actually had them put two big decumentifiers in there to help try

[9:19] to take that down, but the molds, we can't be there for it, but that helps us with funding

[9:29] options. So, you know, it's an emergency response station, it's a dual-use facility, it covers

[9:36] more than just reserve township. We make a pretty good argument for going into funding, so we're

[9:41] working through that, and I hope to have a front front there again. So, that's you coming

[9:48] coming up soon.

[9:50] Anybody have any questions for me?

[9:55] The last thing we'll leave you with is rumor on the street is

[9:58] we're looking at increasing the EMS fee.

[10:00] That rumor is accurate.

[10:02] We are investigating that.

[10:04] I don't know what that number is,

[10:06] but do you know that we're working on that?

[10:09] And we have that rule over that information.

[10:12] But I don't want to hide behind anything for them.

[10:16] That's the gap there.

[10:20] Thank you.

[10:21] Thank you very much, Dave.

[10:31] Thank you.

[10:44] So typically I submit a report every month to be read recently with Allegheny County emergency services they come up with a better idea, so we're now going to publish a more in-depth monthly police report that will be available for the public to view.

[11:02] So it doesn't give away any personal identifying information or any hit with stuff, it's within

[11:06] the guidelines of that.

[11:08] So there's actually a copy of the pack there and it'll also be attached to the meeting

[11:12] minutes on the website as well if you'd like to access that.

[11:15] So that's how we're going to give that information away.

[11:18] It's a really nice format.

[11:19] I like it.

[11:20] It's a lot better than just hearing.

[11:22] We look at this many calls, whatever.

[11:23] So it kind of gives you a little more in-depth report.

[11:26] What does it know what you think?

[11:29] Okay,

[11:32] now something works,

[11:39] before the T-HMs and the H-E-A5 quarterly, the levels did

[11:45] exceed both sites and manager notified the D-E-P of both MCLs and OEL exceedances and

[11:55] submitted the OEL exceeding notification form to the D-E-P as required, hosted 69 water

[12:03] shot off notices were on payment and continued by Kerbock's location.

[12:12] Police can take the training classes at the Hampton Township Sponsored by Northfield

[12:18] Council of Government and they responded to 211 calls replaced concrete drive at under

[12:29] trough.

[12:29] Following waterline excavation cleared three on roads and catch faces from two storm

[12:36] events, trained new public works labor on winter maintenance procedures,

[12:43] faux filing routes, broke maintenance, had council parts and that, and they also replaced two

[12:52] shutoff valves as the barn moved, lawn still, and that went successfully. So thank you.

[13:02] And that's all I have, an information.

[13:05] Financial and reparation.

[13:07] Financial and reparation?

[13:08] Yes.

[13:10] You know, unfortunately with the situation with Jan, we're going to be in a bit of a time

[13:15] crunch because we have been looking at numbers and such and putting things together.

[13:20] But, you know, we have to, unfortunately, really, when she does come back, it's going to

[13:26] be a mad rush to get everything together because the budgets have to be publicized and everything.

[13:33] So we'll be working on that.

[13:36] The next thing for recreation is October 24th, we'll be the Halloween parade.

[13:41] That is a Saturday.

[13:44] So, as mentioned before, that a lot of people, there's CCD and different things that go on.

[13:51] And the Sunday people would complain about it.

[13:54] So we're going to try this time to do it on a Saturday.

[13:59] I mean, it's September already, so that'll be here.

[14:02] And then we do have our polite up night,

[14:05] which is a very big deal here.

[14:09] We hope that more people come because it is going

[14:11] to be on a Friday evening.

[14:14] So we're hoping to get a large trial.

[14:20] Lunch with Santa the weekend after that.

[14:24] Right now, we're reaching our last away, unfortunately,

[14:26] but it is what it is sometimes going very quickly.

[14:30] Thank you.

[14:33] Thank you, Commissioner.

[14:39] As much as the rest of them.

[14:40] But I did leave numerous times with the manager, different conversations.

[14:45] And also, I was at the Commissioner's Convention.

[14:50] I was at the coffee.

[14:52] And they'll have us with the manager last Friday, where Jim was able to bring in Chris Delugio.

[15:00] U.S. Congress, which are excellent skills on segregation, and it was a very well-reception, if we had. But everybody that was there was real happy to see and meet him. That's all I have. And then we move on now to the list that was written. The only thing I wanted to mention in your area where we have seen it in the news was that on August 17th, last month,

[15:28] The judge and our Allegheny County Court come and please issue an order in litigation

[15:34] involving assessment, the real property investment.

[15:38] So this court order is requiring a reassessment that should, that is at the start next year and

[15:47] be completed within five years.

[15:50] So for those of you who are interested, right now we're operating under a 2012 base here

[15:56] system, meaning that the assessed values are supposed to reflect what the

[16:02] property was worth in 2012.

[16:06] Now, with the reassessment, it will bring the

[16:08] best value to what they should be worth, fair market value, and have a 2027.

[16:14] So, it'll go up as they assess you or leave in that five years after that five

[16:18] year. Everybody goes up. I do not know exactly how that'll work, but they're supposed to

[16:24] So it started in 2027, which I'm guessing is maybe the evaluation and then it can be completed later than 2032.

[16:34] So that's a good question as to if they're all, I mean, I would imagine it all was going to go into effective ones.

[16:39] That would be the better.

[16:43] They're completed all the time.

[16:44] That's a good question.

[16:46] Right, that's right.

[16:48] And just because they're a reminder,

[16:50] the husband a while, I guess, 2012, 2013,

[16:52] since we went through all this,

[16:54] but we are limited, like we can't receive a win-ball.

[16:58] Of course, the steps that you're gonna go up, I'm sure.

[17:01] So there will need to be a military adjustment, probably.

[17:06] We can't, as a result of the assessment,

[17:08] the maximum amount of tax revenue you can bring in,

[17:11] bring in is 105% of what you brought in the last year.

[17:14] so that sometimes requires a knowledge of justice.

[17:17] I have to mind, adjust it down so that we're not.

[17:20] Just stay in for the time.

[17:21] I know it's for political subdivisions.

[17:24] For the time.

[17:25] No.

[17:26] Yes.

[17:28] I

[17:32] have to look, I was just paying attention

[17:33] to what we have to do.

[17:34] For the room.

[17:35] For the room.

[17:35] But this is the financial legislation

[17:37] for Allegheny Halley.

[17:39] It's the limits of college in the same class.

[17:41] So you're right, it probably is going

[17:43] to be a county that never dies as well.

[17:44] and I'm going to let these school districts offer under similar provision as well.

[17:49] I don't think it's difficult, but they can't get a windfall either.

[17:53] So…

[17:53] I was a four year-old.

[17:54] You have other questions, right?

[17:56] I'm never…

[17:57] There was a simplest solution for hours whenever I'd own cells.

[18:02] All you got to do was use the cells first.

[18:05] I mean, it's just gone on forever and then, you know, I'd go back because…

[18:10] The demographic,

[18:10] so many people are in fixed income.

[18:12] Yeah.

[18:16] It's going to be a hit for everyone, but so that's right, so that's something we'll pay attention to in there, but so that's all I have.

[18:30] Thank you.

[18:48] Are you done here this week?

[18:49] We never did.

[18:50] I thought it's only done here, not here.

[18:52] No, not done here.

[18:53] And this was chief nervous discussing that. Jan, when we discussed all the projects

[19:01] last week, she said that Scott had noticed some machinery working, but she didn't know

[19:09] if it was just more braiding or common areas where actually excavating for the basements.

[19:16] But it sounds like it's excavating for the base.

[19:18] for the other, we're going to actually look like financial material, but hand ready model

[19:23] without this, but we don't write it.

[19:31] No, is that how to make a building permit?

[19:41] Okay, good.

[19:41] Okay, yeah.

[19:42] As long as I have a building permit, the building could officially be a lot of guidance.

[19:47] There

[19:58] are these run records, often on that.

[20:01] Communications and recognition.

[20:03] Nothing at this time.

[20:04] No, thank you.

[20:05] Well, business, non-new business.

[20:06] The emotions of authorized chief administrative officer or police,

[20:10] and non-uniform pension plans to sign the 2027 minimum municipal application.

[20:17] That's calculated by an app for sure.

[20:27] We'll start with the motion.

[20:29] Second, is there any questions?

[20:40] Any amount of $8,185.95 for

[20:47] the 2025 Railway Improvement Program contract?

[20:51] That's number 25-1.

[20:54] I'll make a motion to authorize partial payment.

[20:57] number one in the amount of 82,000, 185 and 95 cents to Afulena construction for the 2025

[21:06] roadway improvement program, contract number 25 dash R01.

[21:13] What's acting that? An emotion in a second? Do we have any questions?

[21:20] It is at 2.25, there's a problem.

[21:23] This project, this project, the last one, I get to do a $0

[21:48] .90 to 8.0 construction for

[21:51] the Electrical Paper Project on track number 25-RO2 contingent upon LSSE's confirmation

[22:01] that the punch list items were put at

[22:07] this table or so.

[22:10] Yeah, you can either table it, or if you want to authorize it conditionally, maybe

[22:16] if it wants you to.

[22:17] Yeah, you can authorize it this way.

[22:21] Okay.

[22:21] Need a motion to authorize this condition?

[22:24] Are we upon the engineers approval?

[22:27] No, second, that.

[22:36] For you, the first,

[22:40] the motion by Ron.

[22:41] Yeah, that's the motion.

[22:43] Okay.

[22:43] Motion to authorize reserved conscious police department to investigate the feasibility of establishing

[22:49] and drone program with the goal of applying for a grant funding to cover the initial cost

[22:54] of equipment and training.

[23:02] Yes, one of our officers is looking into this.

[23:07] We think we probably have a good shot at getting it.

[23:12] Nice thing is this is a zero-magic grant, so it'll be funded fully through the grant program

[23:18] at least initially.

[23:20] I will say in the long run there might be some costs associated with updating equipment

[23:26] batteries, that sort of thing, but we don't foresee that being anything to do financially

[23:32] heavy stuff.

[23:33] Was this through the D.H. office?

[23:35] No, so this is actually through CSX.

[23:38] Okay.

[23:39] Yeah.

[23:41] I'll motion right.

[23:43] Okay.

[23:44] Any other questions?

[23:49] Okay.

[23:49] all those in favor say I

[24:00] end in the amount of $67,940 and 8 cents to a

[24:06] fully note construction. That is for the Electrical Pagan project contract

[24:10] .5 dash R02 and partially covered by a CBBG 50 grant in the amount of $28,540.

[24:22] I'll make a motion doctor. I have partial payment number one in the amount of

[24:28] $6,7,940 and $8 cents to aphelina construction for the electrical project,

[24:37] contract number, 25-RO2.

[24:48] I'll say that.

[24:49] Hello.

[24:51] All of you in favor?

[24:58] 50.

[24:59] Okay.

[25:02] The next

[25:05] 20-26 at 7 p.m.

[25:12] We have time to be out of favor.

[25:13] Right.

[25:14] At this time, I need a motion for generalment.

[25:17] Thank you very much and we are adjourned.

[25:19] Second.

[25:20] Second.

[25:20] We are adjourned.

[25:21] Second is meetings adjourned.

[25:22] Thank you.
