Signed agreement for the use of Geese Chasers services at Pool for 2025 season. Geese and the pool do not go well together in the summer. The geese tend to use the pool and pool deck for bathing and going to the bathroom. Been working with Herman Moser on the proposal to care for Miller Meadow, the new Meadow at Pennypack as well as training for staff. In your packets is a new and very reasonable proposal to manage the meadows as well as train our staff on the proper care. Council did previously approve a proposal that needed to be rewritten. This new proposal is saving the Borough approximately $6500 since PW will now care for these areas with the help of Mr. Moser and his company. The Borough is committed to not allowing Miller Meadow to return to its previous condition as well as the proper maintenance of the new meadow at PP. Working with Engineer and Developer at the Station at Hatboro (also referred to as the Canalley property) after the developer did not notify the Borough of the demolition of the former Diner. Notices will be hand delivered this week to residents in the area as well as shared by the Borough before the remaining buildings are taken down. The Fire Company as well as SWAT/MAERT Team have been using the main building for valuable training before the demo is scheduled to take place. We have been told that there is roughly 6 months of site work at this site, of course weather dependent once these last buildings are taken down. Donation of POW flags, thank you to Wipplinger Properties and Alex Myers and Nancy Guenst for donation. We will be looking to add another POW flag at one more location in the Borough, either the PD or the flagpole at Madison/York after receiving calls from persons thanking us for flying in the Borough. Just a reminder there are some exciting events coming up, First Friday on 4/5, Pennypack Paws Event on 4/6, come out and eat, get things for your 4-legged family members, and possibly add to your four-legged family. On April 12th is Hatboro Earth Day at Pennypack.

You can always follow the Hatboro Events page on Facebook or Instagram for all Borough events.

STAFF REPORTS –
•POLICE – Training: Sgt Simon completed training for all of Patrol with our Jersey Claws, which are used for opening doors in emergencies. This took place at the former Canalley property. Thanks, you to Sgt Valleley for arranging to get the space with the developer. East Montco Swat will also be doing some training at that location later in the week on Thursday so don’t be alarmed if you hear some bangs and noise coming from the site. It is a training exercise. Officer Figuerao and Kimball recently attended a two-day traffic stop and interdiction school thru Magloclen which we are a member of. Det/Sgt Dilks attended PELRAS conference which and training pertaining to administrative functions of government and the police department in areas such as internal investigations which is an area of his responsibility. Personnel – We do unfortunate have one officer out for an injury now. Depending on the length of time they could be out the Power Shift will be used to back fill any shortages. We are in the final steps of hiring a Police Operations Clerk for the third shift. That should be completed this week. Thanks for our many part timers who have stepped up and filled the gap the last few weeks. Crime/ Safety: We have had several retail thefts at the Wawa however with the assistance of the public providing tips thru the Crimewatch platform we have solved most all of these. With the weather warming up many more people will be out and about, so drivers please take note. Slow Down and watch out for pedestrians. Bus Patrol – HHSD has contracted with Bus Patrol for enforcement of bus violations. When I have information regarding the rollout and when it starts, I will provide that to you.

TAX COLLECTIONS – The Tax Collector’s report was electronically submitted.

PUBLIC WORKS – Manager Hegele stated Next week begins the start of opening the Pool for the 2025 season. It is always exciting to be opening the pool and getting ready for warmer weather, but at the same time, there is some apprehension when the cover is coming off and the pool being opened that winter has been kind to the facility. Fingers crossed all goes well. Nice weather is the start of mowing. PW has been out and sprucing up parks and facilities in preparation of Spring and Summer. Miller Meadow was mowed at the direction and guidance of Herman Moser. Pennypack has seen several large tree branches falling as well as some trees in bad condition from the repeated windstorms. PW crews have been cleaning up all the parks, tree clearing as well as sadly some being removed after falling and PW is currently in the process of removing fencing at Pennypack in and around the creek. The wind has not been kind to trees all over the Borough, a few have come down since our last council meeting on private property, in Borough roadways. PW has been busy. PW did a cleanup of the rear of Miller Meadow as well as posted signs due to some dumping over the winter. We took out a few trucks of stuff last week. I attended the meeting with several other municipalities that self-collect recycling to review and prepare for the biennial recycling audit done by MSW consultants scheduled for October 2025 at Republic Services in King of Prussia. This is a commodity audit that was last performed per the contract in 2023. It is tentatively scheduled for the week of either October 6th or October 20th. We will begin to submit recycling data that includes schedules and tonnages in August. We will be given more information at the next quarterly meeting of the Recycling Consortium to which either Foreman Young or I will attend, dependent on schedules. At this meeting they will review more detail on final audit material categories, definitions, and sampling protocol. Stay tuned for more information on this as it is available to share. Councilman Myers and I were supposed to tour the recycling facility in early March, but the tour was cancelled. We are still waiting on a new date to visit. The Pennypack Facility will be closed this weekend, from Friday afternoon through Monday morning, while PW gives the building a complete spring cleaning, that will include striping and polishing all the floors. Bob Cat bidding is going well, as of today
bidding is over $20K which is higher than I originally reported to council. Bidding ends on 4/7. The proceeds of this sale will go towards the purchase of the new skid steer previously authorized by council.

DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT – Manager Hegele stated Working on the Spring edition of the newsletter – Hatboro Happenings. Thank you to the business community for their support with the purchase of ad space. We have received a lot of submissions and if you are a community group and want to submit, please let Cindy know. Congratulations to Cindy and the Borough on the recent award from the PA State Association of Boroughs Newsletter contest. The last edition of Hatboro Happenings won the State Newsletter Award. We will receive the award formally at the Annual Conference in Hershey in June. Thank you to Cindy for all her hard work on this. Sometimes it is a struggle to find content because not every group takes advantage of this opportunity, and she works hard to find the content. Of course, she would prefer the submittals, but I am grateful that she makes sure this gets done and a nice newsletter is shared with the community. Staff continues to work on a comprehensive email distribution list as well as a survey to send out to the business community. Congratulations on some new businesses coming to the Borough. The Cat Tats on York at E. Moreland. Milliner Lofts announced that they secured a tenant for their retail space, Philly Philly Cheesesteaks. They are based out of Perkasie and are making Hatboro their newest home for their second location. Welcome Castorina’s Chili Bar and BBQ at the former Whiskey Fox location. The menu is very impressive, and the owner is hoping to open in the late spring. We have also heard that there is a new business coming to the former Hatboro Dish location. Stay tuned for more information on this as we can share. We also learned of a new ice cream shop opening next to Coaches Sports Cards. Lots of places to eat in Hatboro, no excuses for food choices and no dieting in Hatboro. Thank you to the Chamber of Commerce for hosting another successful business meet and greet in the evening last week at Ross & Co.
