CALL TO ORDER – President Bollendorf called the December 3, 2018 Committee Meeting to order at 7:02 PM. President Bollendorf announced there will be a voting meeting following the Committee Meeting.

PUBLIC COMMENT – Maris Toporowski of Lamplight Lane stated she is one of the 6 property owners of Lamplight Lane in attendance for the meeting. She stated that the property owners of Lamplight Lane have two requests: curbside trash collection and snow plowing. Ms. Toporowski stated that they are asking for curbside trash collection because they often get violation notices mailed to them about bulk trash laying on the curb at Byberry Road. She stated that they have been told that the size of the street and the cul-de-sac is too small for the trash trucks to maneuver, and she agreed that might be true, but the residents of Lamplight are willing to accept once a week curbside trash as a result. She stated that the property owners pay for trash collection in their taxes and that they should receive this collection curbside instead of hauling their trash to the corner of Byberry and Lamplight. Ms. Toporowski stated that the tenants hire a
private company for snow removal services and would like the Borough to plow instead. She provided photos of the cul-de-sac to Borough Council for review and concluded that the residents of Lamplight Lane are not looking for a street dedication, just the aforementioned services from the Borough.

President Bollendorf stated Superintendent Sine will elaborate on this matter.

MAYOR’S REPORT – Mayor Guenst asked everyone in attendance to stand and join her in a moment of silence for George H.W. Bush who passed away.

She stated the School District had distributed flyers to everyone and included the Hatboro Pool as a drop-off location for the event. She stated that the first date for the event

Manager Hegele stated that because of the District’s oversight and that the bags were already delivered, Manager Hegele approved the use of the pool parking lot for the event. She noted there were no services needed from the Borough and the School District was unaware that they had to ask for permission to use the lot. Manager Hegele stated she is asking Council to ratify the use of the parking lot in the minutes due to her prior approval.

Manager Hegele stated there has been a lot of recent discussion regarding water runoff and issues at the intersection of Byberry Road and Warminster Road. Manager Hegele stated this water runoff is caused by an underground spring located on the Upper Moreland side of Warminster Road. She stated she reached out to the Township Manager of Upper Moreland who informed her that the Township’s engineer created a solution to stop the runoff issue caused by the spring. Manager Hegele stated that Upper Moreland has already begun work to fix the issues and that Hatboro and Upper Moreland will continue to salt the intersection when necessary to keep motorists safe during the winter.

PUBLIC SAFETY
LAMPLIGHT LANE STREET DEDICATION – President Bollendorf asked if curbside trash collection and snow removal services would require a street dedication. Solicitor Geiser stated yes.

Superintendent Sine stated he has done a lot of research on this issue. He stated that the circular part of the Lamplight Lane cul-de-sac is 49 ft in diameter and the Borough’s SALDO ordinance requires that the radius of a dedicated street should be 40 ft of paved surface. He stated that this would have to be visited in order to dedicate the street. Mayor Guenst stated there is a big difference between the 49 ft diameter of Lamplight and the required 80 ft diameter.

Superintendent Sine stated that he contacted Roy Thomas who was a previous Superintendent of Public Works who informed him that Lamplight Lane was a private street because LaRosa builders did not meet the required dimensions when making the street. Solicitor Geiser stated she would have to look into how the Borough would address the street dimensions of Lamplight Lane with regard to the SALDO requirements. Vice President Stockton asked about the logistic concerns of getting Public Works Vehicles in and out of Lamplight Lane. Superintendent Sine stated that Tuesday and Friday are Lamplight’s regularly scheduled refuse collection dates. This means that three trucks would have to service the cul-de-sac by either backing down the cul-de-sac or backing out onto Byberry Road.

Superintendent Sine stated that the Borough’s trash collection routes have been fine tuned to reduce backing down any street if at all possible. He stated it’s not impossible to back down the street; however, it is a big safety concern. Vice President Stockton asked if there are any streets that require Public Works to back down them. Superintendent Sine stated that Woodland Ave is a stub street off of Earl Lane and requires the department to back down it. President Bollendorf asked if the department could plow the street with a pickup truck. Superintendent Sine stated that significant snowfalls would require Public Works to truck snow out of the cul-de-sac because there is no place to safely pile the snow currently. Vice President asked for clarification on trucking the snow. Superintendent Sine stated it would have to be removed from the street using a front end loader and a dump truck.

Manager Hegele stated that the Borough could not pile snow on the yards of the home because it could damage curbing, underground utilities, etc. which opens the Borough up for liability. Manager Hegele stated she will ask DVIT their opinions on the issue and report back to Council.

President Bollendorf stated that the Borough will certainly look into the issue and table it until more information is gathered. He noted that trash collection may be a big issue due to backing large vehicles down the street.

Ms. Toporowski asked why a pickup truck could not collect trash and recycling down the street. Superintendent Sine stated that people throw out dangerous and unpleasant items and he does not want his men exposed to those items. Councilman Forgeng asked is Public Works could get a truck down that street now. Superintendent Sine stated that he can get a truck down the street without a problem, it is getting the truck out that is an issue.

Manager Hegele stated there are multiple streets in the Borough that are not dedicated and that Green Lane Terrace, another non-dedicated street, have a pickup similar to those on Lamplight.

Ms. Toporowski noted that a full-size fire truck has been down Lamplight Lane and fit fine. Superintendent Sine stated that the fact that the street is not dedicated, restricts what he can do with regard to services. President Bollendorf stated that when a street does not conform to the code, the owners must provide their own services. President Bollendorf stated that the Borough will look into it and will see what they can do and that the owners should appoint a spokesperson to coordinate with Council.

FIRE COMPANY EXPENDITURE LIST – Councilman Forgeng stated Council was in receipt of the Enterprise Fire Company Expenditure list for the month of November in the amount of $16,060.08. This item was moved to the December 17, 2018 Council Meeting agenda for approval.

2019 POLICE ENTRANCE EXAM – Chief Gardner stated that the Montgomery County Consortium Group met and they would like to hold the Consortium test early due to the need for officers in numerous departments. He stated that the test will be held in March and he recommends that Council authorize the Civil Service Commission to obtain a list of qualified candidates. This item was moved to the December 17, 2018 Council Meeting agenda for approval.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT RADIO PURCHASE – Fire Marshal Myers stated that it is time for the Borough to replace its County radios as they are two models behind. He stated that Montgomery County is offering a 33% discount for radio purchases now as well as a 1 year payment deferral with 1, 3, or 5 year payment options. He stated this purchase would consist of two portable radios and one radio for the EOC which would total 15,585.08. Fire Marshal Myers added that there is also a $1,000 – $1,200 trade in value of the current radios. Fire Marshal Myers stated that they must make a decision before December 21st.

Mayor Guenst asked what the problems with the current radios are. Chief Gardner stated that the radios will not work on the new County Radio system. He added that the radios will also be encrypted to allow cross-banning with the police department. Chief Gardner added that they will also be able to communicate with Bucks County. Mayor Guenst stated that these radios are a necessity for Emergency Management. This item was moved to the December 3, 2018 Voting Meeting agenda for approval.

FINANCE & GRANTS
SECOND ALARMERS EMS TAX – Vice President Stockton stated that Second Alarmers have submitted a request for an EMS Tax in the year 2019. Ken Davidson from Second Alarmers was present and apologized for not being able to attend the Budget meeting. Mr. Davidson clarified that SARS would like to establish a separate EMS tax as opposed to asking for money from the Borough’s operating budget. He stated he worked with Manager Hegele to come up with a tax rate of 0.12 mills which would not require a referendum. He stated that this millage would equate to around $48,028. He stated that the Borough has a deficit per call of around $46,729 which is close to the EMS tax revenue. Mr. Davidson stated that SARS has taken into consideration that the Borough provides a building for them and that this EMS tax would cover the bare bones necessities. Mr. Davidson stated that SARS is open to whatever ideas they may have regarding the EMS Tax and encourages the Borough to consider the tax for 2019.

Mayor Guenst asked how many times the Hatboro Second Alarmers ambulance responds to calls outside of Hatboro. Mr. Davidson stated that 25% of the calls the Hatboro ambulance responds to are outside of the Borough. Mayor Guenst asked what the other Second Alarmers Stations are and which of those municipalities charge Second Alarmers for a facility. Mr. Davidson stated the other stations are located in Abington, Upper Dublin, Upper Moreland, Whitpain, Jenkintown, and Rockledge. Mr Davidson stated that Edgehill Fire Company is the only place that charges them for office space and that the others provide SARS with the land. Mayor Guenst asked if SARS has an internal collections department. Mr. Davidson stated that they have one, but their department does not nag people for funds like collections companies.

Mayor Guenst stated that the Borough is already establishing a big tax increase for the Borough and Hatboro has a stagnant tax base. President Bollendorf agrees that Council does not want to burden the taxpayers. Vice President Stockton stated that the Finance Committee has the same concern with regard to the taxpayer. He added that because of the financial shortfalls going into 2019, a lot of things are not a possibility. Vice President Stockton stated that the Finance Committee made a recommendation that Council revisits this request next year.

Mayor Guenst stated she has been told that if someone donates a certain amount of money to SARS that they are not billed for their services should they need them. Mr. Davidson stated that if someone contributes enough money, there will be no out of pocket expenses to the patient. He stated these costs range anywhere from $35.00 to $55.00. Mr. Davidson stated that the fund drive does not see much return. He noted that EMS was once self sustaining, but because of insurance companies this is no longer possible. Mr. Davidson stated that SARS hopes that the public will support the EMS tax because the 0.12 mills requested will only average about $18.00 per household and will greatly help their organization.

Vice President Stockton stated that Council is not questioning the need for the EMS tax or funding; however, the issue is that establishing an EMS tax on top of an already significant tax increase will budget the taxpayer. He stated that the Borough could pass another tax increase this year, but the finance committee does not recommend it. He added that it is also late in the budget process and he believes revisiting this EMS tax next year would be the better choice.

Councilwoman Benjamin asked what the percentage of calls for SARS are non-emergency. Mr. Davidson stated that only 5-10% of calls are non-emergency. President Bollendorf requested that residents email Council persons with there opinions of the EMS tax as Council wants to make a decision that reflects the desires of the taxpayer.

Councilman Hegele asked if SARS would continue the fund drive if the EMS tax is established. Mr. Davidson stated that they would discontinue the fund drive if they had an overwhelming municipal support; however, with the proposed 0.12 mills, they would continue the fund drive.

This item was moved to the December 17, 2018 Council Meeting agenda for approval.

2017 BOROUGH AUDIT – President Bollendorf stated that he is in receipt of the draft audit for 2017. He stated that the reason the audit took so long was because of a missing payment for the Hometown Streets Grant. President Bollendorf stated Assistant Secretary DeRenzis was able to locate the payment which the Borough received but was coded incorrectly. President Bollendorf stated that the draft audit notes the Borough will have to write off around $37,000 due to mistakes of previous staff while managing escrow accounts. Manager Hegele stated that these errors were made because the escrow accounts were not properly billed in 2017. President Bollendorf stated these errors do not look good for the Borough, but that he believes the proper personnel are in place to ensure errors like such do not happen again.
President Bollendorf stated that the Borough also does not have the correct policies in place, and that he and Councilwoman Benjamin will work to create and implement policies. Manager Hegele stated that she is also researching sample policies and has already contacted DVIT for any examples they may have.

Councilwoman Benjamin asked if there is any way to figure out what should have been billed to the escrow fund in 2017. Manager Hegele stated that Finance Manager Wells is trying to figure it out; however, time restrictions with escrow billing makes it difficult to recoup the costs at this point. President Bollendorf stated that she is highly confident that the Borough will not run into these problems again. He stated that Finance Manager Wells is working as hard as she can to make sure she stays on top of escrow and the Borough’s finances.

Manager Hegele stated that the Borough will have a final bound copy of the Audit on Wednesday and that Council will need to vote on its acceptance at the Council meeting. This item was moved to the December 17, 2018 Council Meeting agenda for approval.

DIGITAL OUTREACH
RECORDS MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE – Vice President Stockton stated that the Borough has received three bids for the purchase of a records management software. He noted that dealing with software, it is often hard to compare due to different capabilities and features. The first was from Carrigan Geo in the amount of $19,900, the second from MuniLogic in the amount of $25,000 plus a yearly service fee of $2,800, and the third from GovPilot in the amount of $6,500 per year plus fees for extra modules. Vice President Stockton stated that staff has recommended the purchase of the Carrigan Geo as it best fits the needs of the Borough.

He noted that units 2, 4, and 6 are not yet sold and that two residents have not been reached at this point; however, only one resident so far is in favor of the address change. This item was moved to the December 17, 2018 Council Meeting agenda for approval.

Councilwoman Benjamin asked if the addresses continue to be an issue. Vice President Stockton stated that Council has not been contacted by Borough residents regarding issues with the addresses and have only heard about this problem through Horsham representatives.

ORDINANCE NO. 1054, TAX RATE ORDINANCE FOR 2019 – Vice President Stockton stated that the 2019 tax rate ordinance will reflect the changes in the 2019 budget.
