MANAGER’S REPORT – Manager Hegele stated road paving approved will be paid using Liquid Fuels/Highway Aid money which the Borough receives yearly from miles of roads in Borough and gas tax money collected by state.

Warminster Road Bridge Update: The Borough has received some complaints about noise during the overnight hours and we reached out to the contractor and found there was a small generator left running to a smaller pump that was needed to help dewater the area for excavation. The contractor does have larger hydraulic units that per the contract they are supposed to use, they chose the smaller unit due to the amount of water and noise. The larger unit would have been much louder and more intrusive. Unfortunately, if they turned off the pumps, the area would fill up with water due to the location and elevation of groundwater and would cause delays. This is a PennDOT job and is situated in two municipalities on a state road. Unfortunately, we do not have much recourse. The bridge needed to be replaced. The old bridge is gone, and work continues daily. Per the contractor on the job right now everything is progressing, and they are still on target for end of October completion, should that change, the Borough will issue notices to keep everyone up to date.

Manager Hegele stated for the Station Park Trail she is happy to report it is finally mowed and cleaned up. The issue was the new ownership of Station Park (office park not townhomes) believed it was not their responsibility to clean up or maintain. We were hours away from issuing citations for every day it was not cleaned up when the ownership handled. Even after the Borough sent the recorded easements and agreements where is clearly shown it was Station Park’s responsibility, they still maintained it was not. I have sent a reminder to them they need to regularly maintain and failure to do so going forward may result in further action by the Borough.

Manager Hegele stated for the Fire House Grant. Assistant Secretary DeRenzis and herself met with the third-party grant consultant, and he is finalizing his review. She stated we now have the go ahead to begin submitting the necessary documents to the state office of budget to begin reimbursement. As you know this is a long time coming and we continue to keep our fingers crossed we will get our money back and finally close this grant forever.

Manager Hegele stated for the Pension Audit – The Auditor from the Pennsylvania Auditor General’s office just completed the uniformed and non-uniformed audit for the past few years (they were not here during covid) and I am happy to report that we passed, we no issues. The final report must be reviewed by his supervisor and then will be issued to the Borough, which will be shared with the bargaining units as well as a report will be on file at Borough Hall. The AG office does publish the report on their website as well, but do not know their policy or procedures for publishing.

Manager Hegele stated the Zero Waste Initiative meeting is October 5th from 6to 8pm at Pennypack.
Manager Hegele stated for the Newsletter – Staff has been putting together articles for the newsletter. If any community groups want to submit, the deadline is fast approaching. Please send it to Cindy by the end of this month in order to make the fall publication. Just a reminder we do an electronic newsletter as well monthly. Community groups are encouraged to submit as well, and this information goes to Kim in our office. If you are not signed up for the e newsletter there is information on our website on how to get registered.

Manager Hegele stated they are removing plaques on decorative poles and cleaning and restoring them, they have faded over the years and never were maintained properly.
Manager Hegele stated they are beginning to schedule and prep for pool closure in two weeks.
Manager Hegele stated just a reminder to residents/property owners on the proper disposal of lithium batteries, Cheltenham had a near miss last week, thankfully the staff on the trash truck saw the smoke and the driver was able to dump the contents and put the fire out before it was catastrophic. It was determined to be lithium batteries improperly disposed of. Lithium-ION batteries can be recycled at Home Depot, Staples, Lowes, Best Buy or Montgomery County household hazardous waste collection program. These batteries can cause fires in the trash truck hopper which can be catastrophic for the Borough, the loss of one vehicle alone is a problem. If you need information on disposal, you can find it on our website.
Manager Hegele stated while we are on the topic of trash and recycling, just a reminder Labor Day holiday is fast approaching, 2 weeks from today. There will be no trash or recycling collection with those of us who have Monday collection. Recycling will take place the following Monday, 9/11 and trash will be on Thursday the same week as the holiday.

DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT – Recording Secretary Bollendorf stated as everyone can see, Public Works installed the tables, planters, and benches and prepped them and the Gardeners planted everything so a huge shout out to them for their help with the project. It is greatly appreciated. Ryan plaque is not able to go into the ground so we will be adjusting that and a few more details before we plan the dedication which we are looking to do end of September so stay tuned.
Recording Secretary Bollendorf stated as you know I speak a lot about the importance of shopping locally and have decided to take it to the next level to spread the word outside of this room. We will be having monthly free raffles for a basket which will contain promo items such as pen, magnet, jar opener, and mug and each month will have different “bonus” items. At National Night out we added two pool passes for a family of four and a gold star garden t shirt and moving forward we will be adding different items. Any time anyone comes into Borough Hall for any borough business can fill out a ticket as well as any event there is a Borough Table.
While this idea came to help get the word out to more residents to thank the businesses, I’ve already had some reach out stating they would like to contribute to the basket with products and/ or gift cards. Just another example of why we should be giving back to them because they are always ready to donate.

•FIRE MARSHAL – Fire Marshal Valesky stated in July, she had the opportunity to take public life safety educator class that was a week-long and hosted by the Abington Fire Marshall’s office. This class allows her to be certified to teach important life safety topics to our residents and business owners and we are hoping to schedule some classes that would cover smoke detectors, extinguishers and more soon. She was also officially voted into membership at Enterprise Fire Company and am looking forward to becoming a full riding member. Volunteers are always needed and it’s a great opportunity to give back to your community. Also in July, myself, the engineer, and the Borough Manager spent some time on Manor Road addressing some property maintenance complaints and water issues. She dealt with just shy of 30 property maintenance complaints throughout the month. I had the opportunity to work at the car show, inspecting food trucks and hanging out with the fire company standing by in case of an emergency. Business inspections have begun. As a reminder, these are random annual inspections intended to ensure business owners and their patrons are safe but if anyone has any questions, complaints, would like more information, or to sit down and meet with her, she can always be reached via email or cell phone and if you need her information, please stop in this office the staff will be happy to provide it.
