00:03:15,959 have to say I'm definitely G to get choked up halfway through 30 00:03:11,959 --> 00:03:21,360 this sa B he's been employed by saon since 31 00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:25,040 1982 and astonishing 40 years on the job you might think a town with the same 32 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:30,959 leadership for 40 years could be stagnant but think about saan in 1982 33 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:35,840 and look at us now one thing that I appreciate Mike most 34 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:40,959 for is being a bridge goer the Montgomery Theater the Boys and Girls 35 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:46,080 Club Main Street improvements saon Community Park Northbound the weight 36 00:03:43,959 --> 00:03:51,720 building the freight building the list goes on these are just some of examples 37 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:56,280 of the dynamic burrow that project that required creative thinking by this 38 00:03:54,319 --> 00:04:01,200 municipality there were many people involved in the current Resurgence of 39 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:07,079 saon but the thread that ties them all together working behind the scenes in 40 00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:12,280 his own quiet way was Mike Cole and Mike's been here for so 41 00:04:09,799 --> 00:04:16,519 long that he was also involved in many capital assets that we now take for 42 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:22,320 granted the sewer treatment Clan the sain pool and this very building as you 43 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:27,080 might remember Mike started his career here on Main 44 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:32,240 Street Mike knows where every tree is planted in saon where every sewer line 45 00:04:30,039 --> 00:04:38,120 runs and where every Grant dollar has been spent he knows cuz he's been here 46 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:43,160 to see it all happen because Mike Cole is ston 47 00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:48,680 burrow and on the flip side Mike's also not been afraid T dir he started his 48 00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:53,039 career on a road through and was never free afraid to leave his office to pick 49 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:58,639 up a shovel clean up a mess or even go on a 50 00:04:53,800 --> 00:05:07,120 fire this Readiness to do whatever day often these 51 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:10,440 days being the bur man manager is not an easy 52 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:15,479 job not only do you have to make hard decisions in the town that Mike 53 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:21,280 lives but he also has worked for many dozen elected officials over the 54 00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:28,199 decades there have been some big Personalities in these seats Charlie 55 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:36,440 alok Abe clemmer Ed huncker Brian gosh out just to name a 56 00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:41,160 few I'm sure Mike has some good War Stories and probably some from this very 57 00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:46,840 Council that he prefer to not share but his willingness to work with 58 00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:50,560 everyone engage with Community groups and do whatever is best for the 59 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:58,240 residents of this burough is what made Mike a favorite for everyone in 60 00:05:53,919 --> 00:06:04,440 s the job also requires many long nights at problem solving whenever Duty called 61 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:10,039 so we owe a deep de of gratitude to his wife Kathleen and his whole family for 62 00:06:07,599 --> 00:06:16,479 their support and for Lending Mike to us for so 63 00:06:11,919 --> 00:06:24,360 long and I have to thank Mike on a person when I was 16 years old I that 64 00:06:20,919 --> 00:06:30,479 right there as the junior burough counselor and I went to college to study 65 00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:33,599 public administration so I I could be my 66 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:41,639 cult we have very different leadership and I'm sure I've caused my 67 00:06:40,599 --> 00:06:46,000 many headaches I'll never be able to thank 68 00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:50,960 you personally and know for everything that you've done for sain

00:08:37,680 wall at black was when this building was renovated the names on that plaque are 82 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:47,760 forever important to me because those individuals provided a 22y old kid a 83 00:08:42,479 --> 00:08:53,519 chance to become at on March 22nd of 1982 became an assistant bur manager to 84 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:59,959 uh to saton bur and it was because of those 85 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:05,800 people who really trust in me coming out of came from 86 00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:12,640 Quaker Town I had a bachelor's degree but I was 87 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:20,120 green um but um those people meant an awful lot to me most of them have 88 00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:20,120 passed but John 89 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:32,800 Young and Greg a remain um and they are always in my 90 00:09:30,839 --> 00:09:39,959 heart also I just want 91 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:47,399 to go back in time a little bit and recognize a Woman by the name of elain 92 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:50,600 Fred I don't know if anybody knows who Lan 93 00:09:48,279 --> 00:09:58,600 Frederick in the municipal building at 117 Main Street where creative or hok 94 00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:05,000 creativist she was the burough secretary for sat burrow probably for as long if 95 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:12,240 not longer than me and back in that time frame the burough secretary performed 96 00:10:09,079 --> 00:10:16,440 all the tasks that the modern manager does 97 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:21,040 today and if you go back in the vault you will find volumes of minute books 98 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:26,040 signed by Elaine Frederick that documented the history of 99 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:31,880 the bur another fabulous woman who I worked 100 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:38,440 with is Esther Stout and some people in this room know 101 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:45,000 Esther but uh Ester and Elaine were in the uh office when when I walked in 102 00:10:41,079 --> 00:10:53,040 March 22nd in 1982 they welcomed me with open arms they mentored me 103 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:58,240 they taught me they showed um all the things that I needed to know to advance 104 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:06,040 my career another important person 105 00:11:02,079 --> 00:11:15,120 is Delton plank was the manager at the time he served as manager for about 13 106 00:11:10,079 --> 00:11:19,920 years he was only the second manager in the history of the burrow I was in 107 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:28,240 third but D was probably the best Mentor you could 108 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:34,600 ever ask for um he took the time to show me variety of things in the burrow 109 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:39,240 taught me different things showed me the history of the burrow set me up for 110 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:45,680 Success going forward I thought I would work here for 111 00:11:42,279 --> 00:11:51,920 a few years and maybe move on B was rather young at the time B served as 112 00:11:49,000 --> 00:12:01,040 manager not only in Saturn but frankonia and Loris Alford he retired from lower 113 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:06,880 sford but um Del plank was the one that moved 114 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:14,639 first um and that same group of people on that 115 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:20,279 plaque put faith in me again in July of 1984 and uh promoted me to the position 116 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:25,560 as burrow manager and uh there 117 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:29,880 again that's where it all started with with those 118 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:40,519 individuals uh um my career was not me my career 119 00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:40,519 was 120 00:12:40,839 --> 00:12:50,199 councils the many count over the years number of them are in this room again 121 00:12:47,519 --> 00:12:55,760 tonight they volunteered their time I often said I get paid they do not so I 122 00:12:53,880 --> 00:13:01,639 never wanted them to take the Brun of complaints I wanted to make sure I had 123 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:06,480 everything in order for them did everything I could do to implement their 124 00:13:04,839 --> 00:13:12,120 policies their procedures 125 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:18,760 and I also need to really thank many burrow employees we had a 126 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:22,600 tremendous crew we still do some are in this 127 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:27,000 room without them we would NE never have

00:13:45,560 generation um our fathers our grandfather worked in cers so we knew 131 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:55,120 what it was going to take and we devoted that effort just 132 00:13:49,920 --> 00:14:03,040 like our parents did to this Burl and we live we both live in this Burl but every 133 00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:09,759 project that you see every that we've accomplished from the pool to the

we could make 136 00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:30,800 something like this work could do it and and for 137 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:37,399 the most part we did and I will hold those 138 00:14:34,120 -->

--> 00:15:21,000 day um sometimes just to talk sometimes to vent but um he visited me probably 30 146 00:15:19,399 --> 00:15:29,199 plus years Charlie alach had 147 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:37,560 one major philosophy that stuck with me from the day I started and Charlie 148 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:42,880 alach said and preached that a man has got to give back more to the community 149 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:46,240 than he takes and he preached that and he 150 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:53,959 preached that and I hope i' 151 00:15:48,839 --> 00:16:01,560 lived to uh uphold that because I felt strongly about 152 00:15:56,519 --> 00:16:05,360 that so with that I thank everybody in this room I 153 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:15,680 thank all the council member the committee members that I've

00:25:46,039 --> 00:25:53,240 made sure all addresses were fixed from last year which we worked so hard to do 247 00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:59,240 last year and those are being sent out now to everybody um for the assessments 248 00:25:56,159 --> 00:26:03,799 and this year we're also making sure have a plan in place and we have 249 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:09,000 these procedures already lined up and voted on 250 00:26:05,399 --> 00:26:11,880 to to collect any delinquent payments there have been some last year 251 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:16,240 especially there were some that just kind of we had to either write off or 252 00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:21,039 notice people had moved and we weren't side of certain things so we have a 253 00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:24,880 procedure this year um and they will be receiving the bill then they will 254 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:29,640 receive if they don't pay it within 30 days um they'll be receiving uh 255 00:26:27,679 --> 00:26:35,120 certified ma reminding them of that another 30 days certified mail again 256 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:41,080 we're doing it as we've been told to after 90 days we are have permission to 257 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:44,760 send anyone to collection so we'll be following that that procedure this year 258 00:26:42,919 --> 00:26:50,760 so hopefully that'll be that'll be good but we did fix a lot of um incorrect 259 00:26:47,919 --> 00:26:56,039 information that were in the the fors last year so I think that's going to go 260 00:26:53,919 --> 00:27:01,600 you know great um and that's really it right now so we're just next month 261 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:06,840 excited thank you any questions oh yeah any questions question just the 262 00:27:03,919 --> 00:27:09,279 collections yes procedure what where is that coming 263 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:31,320 from and um last year when he was still asking if the buau was going to need to 264 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:36,760 process these or follow up and per our bylaws actually it is satton connects 265 00:27:34,039 --> 00:27:41,279 responsibility to collect any uncollected funds from the assessment 266 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:46,320 payments it's not the buros so we did some research our new um bookkeeper did 267 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:51,320 a lot of research on professional collection agency so we will be going 268 00:27:49,039 --> 00:27:54,840 through an agency on that and he has all the details for that so if you'd like to 269 00:27:53,080 --> 00:28:00,039 know that I can certainly get you the company and everything short uh answer 270 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:03,640 after you've gone through collections if there's anything still not collected is 271 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:07,559 there a lean issue to the there will be no lean and that's why it wasn't going 272 00:28:05,159 --> 00:28:13,000 to go through the burrow because it's not a lean type of a charge for that 273 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:19,519 reason thank you you're welcome anything else just one the facade gr yes is that 274 00:28:16,679 --> 00:28:26,640 uh is that something sat connect or it part of the Pennsylvania faade so that s 275 00:28:23,919 --> 00:28:31,840 has done and put together um and that we have funding that we we have assigned 276 00:28:29,799 --> 00:28:36,480 from the economic development budget right now which we obviously hope to 277 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:40,919 increase over time with the success of this program um but there is some that 278 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:45,000 we already have in the budget this year U we took a lot of the funds that last 279 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:50,240 year maybe were used for some other things or weren't used to um and Kylie 280 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:56,399 did a lot of research on this and worked with you know you did a lot of research 281 00:28:53,840 --> 00:29:01,399 uh to come up with this so it is coming from the satton ks budget for economic 282 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:03,880 development yeah for the future look look into it because I know there was 283 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:09,080 one now I did meet with Steve malagari yes 284 00:29:06,799 --> 00:29:13,279 represent and um he gave me a thick book of grants for Pennsylvania so we've 285 00:29:11,519 --> 00:29:17,159 started to actually go through and look at it because we did just notice that 286 00:29:15,159 --> 00:29:22,880 Hatfield was just awarded a $300 and something thousand Grant yeah so we were 287 00:29:20,559 --> 00:29:29,320 talking about that the other day so um we've kind of highlighted a few in there 288 00:29:25,679 --> 00:29:34,640 that I think we can go after yep that I've seen KY is it's it's not well known 289 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:39,840 and it's a only small money like they would pay for p May materials and then 290 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:45,640 the owner would have to you know meet the improvements but it's out there yeah 291 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:50,360 absolutely every little dollar and yeah and it's and there is money to be had in 292 00:29:47,919 --> 00:29:55,240 the state that people just don't take the time to fill out and go through the 293 00:29:52,000 --> 00:30:00,960 Grant application process but I think that we are aware of these programs and 294 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:06,159 have the manpower to do it we're gonna some of that so thank 295 00:30:03,159 --> 00:30:06,159 you 296

month with two minor injuries uh we had four arrests 291 public service calls 48 313 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:54,320 assists to other agencies um for clarification that only not includes our 314 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:58,200 neighbors but that's same time we're assisting any federal agencies so we 315 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:02,760 assist uh the military background strikes and that kind of thing so we had 316 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:07,440 790 calls for the month uh which is a 7% decrease over last year's time uh which 317 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:10,360 is great our arrest numbers are down at the moment um but we have several 318 00:32:09,039 --> 00:32:17,600 investigations we're conducting which will probably lead to arrests our Major 319 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:23,120 Crimes are way down which is great un fortunately our minor crimes are up 320 00:32:19,679 --> 00:32:27,320 almost 50% uh that being said um we tend to catch them after they do it um but 321 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:30,519 it's a little too late after that part uh but we when we do get them we take 322 00:32:28,799 --> 00:32:33,639 them to court and we do try to either get money back from them or have them 323 00:32:31,799 --> 00:32:38,279 the community service to make good for what they've done um on the 27th is the 324 00:32:37,039 --> 00:32:42,639 national direct takeback we're going to be

00:52:37,240 evening 529 00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:46,720 iation about it because I disagree that the pension should be lowered the that 530 00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:54,119 te years should be lower but we didn't actually hear 531 00:52:48,359 --> 00:52:54,119 from Gerard about the implications of 532 00:52:54,160 --> 00:53:02,440 that so I mean because what that will 533 00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:07,400 do is make some employees who are currently not 534 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:11,839 eligible eligible right now 535 00:53:09,119 --> 00:53:20,599 so some actuar that I that think is 536 00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:20,599 relevant but that's just my 537 00:53:21,240 --> 00:53:28,440 opinion are you proposing that we put this this off until we have uh 538 00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:38,160 come back in it'll definitely 539 00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:38,160 change the pension 540 00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:50,799 plan we have at least I can think of one employee right 541 00:53:44,119 --> 00:53:50,799 now that on your team that would not 542 00:53:55,440 --> 00:54:05,880 be we haven't got a report from Gerard about what that would du to the pension 543 00:54:02,119 --> 00:54:09,960 plan and we did just have a conversation about the issues with the Pion 544 00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,520 plan you know what I 545 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:24,599 mean not on Council so yeah if anyone um if if anyone so 546 00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:28,319 move then please make the motion we can deliberate it further necessary mind 547 00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:32,839 this an advertisement and we would not 548 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:39,480 necessarily do the approval until the May the May R session so is there a 549 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:45,040 motion to for the advertisement uh Mr President I make a 550 00:54:42,319 --> 00:54:50,520 motion to authorize the advertisement of the ordinance 551 00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:57,520 24762 amending the non nonuniform employee pension plan I'll 552 00:54:54,480 --> 00:55:02,799 second okay I'm motions by 553 00:54:59,960 --> 00:55:09,119 counselors uh Rogers and to authorize the advertisement of ordinance 24- 7602 554 00:55:06,359 --> 00:55:14,760 amending of the non-uniformed employee pension plan all right now let's I open 555 00:55:12,359 --> 00:55:19,920 up for further question comment question um 556 00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:24,400 John just because you're vested doesn't mean you can Co right you sp with then 557 00:55:22,559 --> 00:55:30,480 you have to hit a certain age you have to hit you would be 10 years and I think 558 00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:36,440 60 or2 62 so you could become besty but not be able to 559 00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:43,359 use that's correct okay so I don't know how would be I think even though you're 560 00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:47,799 it doesn't change your your ability to retire if you're not right 561 00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:57,799 retire the mayor's I think I'm just saying Stacey I think before the actual 562 00:55:55,280 --> 00:56:03,640 hearing on this ordinance adoption I think the banuary could she would have t 563 00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:09,559 weigh in or have them weigh in on that issue 564 00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:14,200 that that's great so we could get that we can get that information and then we 565 00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:19,760 be ready we could discuss it hopefully at work session and then we can we'll 566 00:56:17,079 --> 00:56:24,920 have a 30-day advertisement and then we can improve the M 567 00:56:21,559 --> 00:56:30,240 session um there may be if drop was part of that so the other 568 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:37,000 concern that we had at work session I believe 569 00:56:31,599 --> 00:56:41,119 was uh just making sure that I I think I think you covered all basis John and the 570 00:56:39,319 --> 00:56:46,480 and and what you covered about we wanted to make sure 571 00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:50,960 that especially I mean to go 10 years is very favorable as opposed to what was in 572 00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:57,039 the ordinance before but if there are any negative connotations then that 573 00:56:53,480 --> 00:57:02,240 would also be good to know prior to us so what what we were concerned 574 00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:06,599 about and I think the concerns are alleviated but that we didn't want 575 00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:12,240 anyone that were thinking they were getting some type of retirement benefit 576 00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:16,280 and would not be and we could just confirm that at work session to that 577 00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:21,880 would that would be two great things to be up you know off of our 578 00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:26,920 back whether it was in writing or or just be good to to have that make sure 579 00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:32,880 we're not negatively impacting someone B getting something more favorable than 580 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:39,480 than the resolution if adopted would negatively impact the employees have all 581 00:57:36,599 --> 00:57:39,480 received this 582 00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:50,359 um and about that and did you receive 583 00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:55,359 any just some clarifications but um almost all the people most of the people 584 00:57:52,319 --> 00:58:01,880 here are vested um currently and would be El the drop um they 585 00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:09,599 did time really affects mostly the new hires for the most part so there's and 586 00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:13,480 then like two other employees and so we did notify them we 587 00:58:17,559 --> 00:58:24,119 out we'll have plenty of time to to clarify later uh John just one more 588 00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:30,640 thing the cola the maining Cola is that for the 589 00:58:28,559 --> 00:58:38,680 retirees would be that's an that would be an a council option if you wanted to 590 00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:43,559 allow acoss the living best right now if you are invested in your pension and you 591 00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:50,200 could retire tomorrow then the new provision won't affect the cola raises 592 00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:57,079 okay we going forward for new hirings the way the ordinance is drafted uh the 593 00:58:52,720 --> 00:59:03,000 revisions to the the ordinance um it's up to the discretion of counts to give 594 00:58:59,319 --> 00:59:10,559 those call increases to employees who are not bested at this 595 00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:15,400 point or May 31st or by May by May 31st if they're not bested okay and that 596 00:59:12,559 --> 00:59:20,839 would be one thing I don't know if what there are any employees that would be 597 00:59:18,599 --> 00:59:26,680 like a may I would just hate to have like a one you know five day cut off and 598 00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:31,319 that would that would be we might be able to accommodate that okay then um 599 00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:38,200 and then they're vested when you say that they are vested that's at the 600 00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:44,200 amended the May 31st it would be right now if they're 601 00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:49,079 vested in in their in their pension right you're not going to be changing 602 00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:55,000 anything right but if if we change it from five to 10 we'll have two employees 603 00:59:51,640 --> 01:00:00,960 that will all overnight be correct yes then they could also participated 604 00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:06,079 drop no because they're changing 605 01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:10,599 simultaneously the drop program would be they 606 01:00:08,359 --> 01:00:13,359 didn't they they weren't eligible for drop before the 607 01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:20,200 changes that's we 608 01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:23,720 eligible because they weren't M the vesting period and the drop change are 609 01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:27,960 happening at the same time so they couldn't have invested before 610 01:00:30,599 --> 01:00:34,720 yes did you hear from those two 611 01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:41,359 employees I didn't I didn't hear from them at all but they've been notified of 612 01:00:39,359 --> 01:00:46,920 it I told them if they have questions have talked to me about it I not heard 613 01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:49,200 anything I've received negative feedback so it's 614 01:00:50,079 --> 01:00:57,920 probably yeah yeah I mean 615 01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:08,119 okay so we need that clarifying feedback from those from those any any effected 616 01:01:04,559 --> 01:01:12,960 employee on on the policy that's that's what we need by the work session okay 617 01:01:10,559 --> 01:01:20,960 then uh let's take that the book so all in favor of of the advertisement of TCI 618 01:01:17,839 --> 01:01:20,960 I any 619 01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:29,559 oppos all right and the last is the the emergency action 620 01:01:31,839 --> 01:01:43,599 plan
