Public Works Committee
• RECOGNITION OF PUBLIC WORKS WEEK – Councilwoman Shay stated National Public Works Week is Sunday May 18 – Saturday May 24, 2025. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy issued a proclamation describing public works as vitally important to our national health and welfare and praising the dedicated efforts of public works professionals. The proclamation reads., “it is in the public interest for the citizens and civic leaders of this country to gain knowledge of and to maintain a progressive interest in the public works needs and programs of their respective communities.” This year’s theme, “People, Purpose, Presence,” highlights three cornerstone ideals that motivate public works professionals to serve in their communities every day. Meeting the needs of people is what gives public works its sense of purpose and many times, public works professionals will never meet those whose lives have been impacted because when things are going right, no one knows that public works is/was there. Yet, with or without fanfare, public works is ever present, working in the background to advance quality of life for all. The Borough of Hatboro PW Department is a crew of 18 men, who maintain the entire Borough in all weather conditions for residents, business owners, and visitors. Make 2025 the year that you take time to be the ambassador that public works needs to raise awareness and support for the essential work they do and don’t forget to thank them when you see them!

• 2025 ROAD PAVING PROGRAM UPDATE – Councilwoman Shay stated Engineer MacNair is currently working with Public Works Foreman Young and Manager Hegele on estimates for the 2025 Road Paving Program.

COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA
CALL TO ORDER – President Bollendorf called the May 19, 2025, Council Meeting to order at 7:43 P.M.
MEETING NOTES – President Bollendorf reviewed the Public Comment Policy on the back of the agenda with regards to addressing Council and time allotment.
PUBLIC COMMENT – Gary Blickley, 46 Harding Avenue, stated that he has been looking for communication from the Borough regarding a Right to Know Request for Planning Commission information and wanted to know the procedure as he is trying to pursue activities related to the Planning Commission and asked if it was practice of the Council to have its commissions file right to know requests for information. Solicitor Geiser stated that we recently passed a right to know policy which she believes is on the website and she advises everybody to file a right to know as it keeps it organized and there’s a date of when documents are requested and when the documents are provided. Mr. Blickley asked if the council’s position is the Planning Commission should file a right to know for anything that they decide they want to have information related to, otherwise the information should just be what the county planners or the Borough supplies or tells the commission what or how to do? He stated his email was directly related to the process for reviewing ordinance changes they are in the middle of undergoing and the idea behind it was to be prepared because the council has been provided multiple versions of how it’s going to be processed and he feels no one in the borough or council wants to speak to anyone face to face, because this could have been resolved within a few communications. He stated instead, since March 24th, when his initial request was made verbally after a council meeting, he felt pushed back and forth on how to get the information and has been given verbiage, but not the actual request that was placed. He also stated that he is extremely frustrated because as a volunteer, he’s trying to provide his time to the Borough and what expertise he can bring to it, but at the same time, he feels we’re failing to follow some basic media protocols, and when we try to insert them, you get pushed back and forth and he doesn’t feel it’s right fundamentally being told how to do everything. He feels every time Council or the Commission try to do something that’s outside of what the planners say, it’s rejected, and he’d just like to make the council aware that neither of the planners are residents, and the one planner openly admitted he has no knowledge of what’s going on in the Borough as he’s presenting his information so the frustration is through the group. President Bollendorf stated some of the things requested for the planning commission may not be on the planning commission which is why it is turned over to the Solicitor and some previous information relates to how specifically because it’s a right to know question and Council doesn’t see right to know requests and he also doesn’t think it is ethical that they see them. Solicitor Geiser asked Mr. Blickley if he filed a right to know request and he stated that he did not and was just waiting for a response from his email. Solicitor Geiser stated if Mr. Blickley files a right to no request tomorrow, she will work with Manager Hegele, and they will have five days to respond to it.
MAYORS REPORT – Mayor Schultz stated they had a public safety meeting regarding the car show as there will be more road closures this year for pedestrian safety, the second first Friday was May 2nd along with Party in the Park at Pennypack and the next one will be June 6th, the first cruise night of 2025 was Friday and the next one is June 20th, and Community Day was a huge hit and all had fun at the pool and thanked everyone.

MANAGER’S REPORT – Manager Hegele stated Community Day was a huge success. A big thank you to Public Works for having the pool ready to go, it was a close call on Friday with the flooding, it got close. It made it into the filter house but did not get into the filter, that was a big sigh of relief. Foreman Young and I were worried. Thank you to the Borough Hall staff for spending 4 hours in the snack stand together selling and processing memberships. We did very well and doing this on community day is a big help. Thank you to all the community organizations that attended as well as the various Boards and Commissions that were represented, it was a nice turnout for both attendees and groups in attendance. A huge thank you to Fire Marshal Valesky and the guys and gals from Enterprise Fire Company. Deputy Chief Croak, Lieutenant Lemek, Auxiliary Member Jill Lemek, Firefighters Henshaw and DePew as well as Fire Police Captain Speckhart were all on hand to cook all the food served, which was 300 hot dogs, 150 burgers, cookies and 3 cakes. Thank you to the pool staff who are ready for the 2025 season. Thank you to PW staff member DJ Devon for the entertainment and Councilman Hoover who has become popular with the kids and bubbles. As I said on Saturday, the day was beautiful, it was so nice seeing so many, and we could not make this happen without the support of Council, staff and all the organizations. The bench dedication for Skip and Judy Emig was well attended by her family and friends and it is fitting that Skip and Judy are watching over the pool now, a place where they spent a lot of time through the years. Herman Moser has been in town to assess both meadows, the one at PP is not in need of anything currently as it is still too early yet with limited germination thus far. Miller Meadow while progressing will need another treatment. There is still Mug wort, and the dogbane continues to persist. He has been working with PW on maintenance tips and education and will let us know when he will be out again for another application. Army Corp was out today for their annual inspection of the PP creek; I will share the report once I receive. All in all, things are good especially after the water was up on Friday. Thank you to everyone that reached out to me on Friday about the dumpster from Rolling Acres, the Borough has worked with them to place the dumpster in the building that is located in our jurisdiction out of flood waters, unfortunately another one at the facility took a ride down the PP, it made it under the York Road bridge and was found in the parking lot of Village Green Apartments, it appears when it got to the Septa RR bridge, the dumpster opened and the trash was all lodged against the Septa Bridge. I did reach out to the Upper Moreland Township Manager to contact and get cleaned up as all of this is in the Township and I do not have any jurisdiction. We do monitor this area because if it is not cleared it does cause issues for us upstream. We approved the printing of the Spring/Summer Borough Newsletter, they should be in mailboxes in early June. The beginning of May every year is the Montgomery County Senior Games, while I am old enough to participate this year I volunteered. It was fun, active adults are very competitive. Congratulations to former Mayor Norm Hawkes, Zoning Hearing Board member Marty Palmer, Planning Commission Member Joe Gallagher, Bird Town Committee member Ray Byrnes, residents Herbert Weikel, George Kyriakos’s, Pam Matthews, and Thomas Mairs and to all the winners, you guys and gals are all winners. I am happy to report that Pennypack was home this year for Senior Darts, the attendees had a great time and Montgomery County Senior Games are coming back to PP in 2026. They really liked the facility and may use it for other activities. Exciting use of the facility, nice to showcase to not just Hatboro but other communities. Some mentioned they would be back for other senior events we offer every Wednesday. Thanks to everyone that came out for the Borough Town Hall on parking issues. We gathered information, researching some requests and will be working on next steps. Some great news for the Borough, PECO announced that we have been selected as one of the PECO 2025 Green Region Grant recipients. We will be receiving $7500 for the Pennypack Community Center LED Lighting Project we submitted. The check will be issued in August at an event PECO will be hosting for recipients.
STAFF REPORTS –
POLICE – Chief Ruegg stated the HPD had firearm training, have been planning for the upcoming big events such as the car show, Paul Miller Law goes into effect June 5th and this law states you cannot hold your cell phone when stopped at a red light or stop sign and the PD will be enforcing this, Sgt. Valleley and Officer Suder threw out the first pitch for the machine pitch team at Hatboro Little League, and June 1st is the lice bus patrol program.
TAX COLLECTIONS – The tax collectors’ report was submitted electronically.
PUBLIC WORKS – Manager Hegele stated the weather is not cooperating, it is keeping the grass growing but when it rains during normal working hours that means we are working on the weekends to catch up. Thank you to Enterprise Fire Company Deputy Chief Croak, Lieutenant Valesky, and Foreman Young for assistance with the removal of the Copula at Borough Hall, the weather has not been kind to this piece atop Loller. Foreman Young was able to remove the piece, and it is now on display at the Millbrook Museum until a plan for its future is decided. The copula is in good shape there is only an issue on one side at the bottom. New Bird Town signs were hung, one in the south end of town and the other in the north. Storm Clean up. PW is clearing debris in storm drains and removing down trees before rain later this week. Cleanup was needed in Eaton and Memorial Park as well as Pennypack from the storm due to flooding. Pool was turned over to the Pool staff for daily cleaning and furniture set up. Fence installed around Community Garden at PP. Just waiting on gate. Volunteers have been busy with planting and next up will be the official dedication hopefully at the July Party in the Park. Working with Manager and Hough Associates on 904 Recycling Grant Program changes. DEP has made some changes to the award calculation formulas. At this time Hough and Associates who are paid to submit on the Borough’s behalf are looking at the possibility of challenging these changes, more information to come, but not until the next round applications in 2026. Due to the time constraints and what would be needed to pursue action would require more time as it involves outreach to legislators, what will occur now is our 2024 data will be submitted in 2025 and paid in 2026 and will mean substantial reductions in funding back to the Borough. We will make sure to include this in the 2026 budget figures. What we receive this year will be for 2023 recycling. We will continue to monitor this and report when we receive more information to share. Many may not know this but our staff that rides the back of trash trucks do report to Borough Hall if they see a stop that is not recycling and then staff sends out a packet of information to educate on the importance of recycling, it is not just for the environment, but it helps the Borough fund self-collection of recycling.

UNION LIBRARY REPORT – Representative Johnson stated since April 1, 2025, the library issued 45 new member cards, ordered, and received 176 new books (borough funded 83), held 54 programs, and 2,231 books, DVDs, etcetera have been checked out of the building.
