OFFICER’S REPORTS –

• PRESIDENT’S REPORT – President Bollendorf stated the Brews and Blues was a success and thanked everyone. President Bollendorf stated the Heroes event and traffic garden dedication is this Sunday October 1, 2023, at Pennypack beginning at 9 A.M. President Bollendorf stated it is that time when leaves will be falling and asked everyone to dispose of property and to not burn them.
• REASURER’S REPORT – Treasurer Smith stated the balance is all accounts for the period ending August 31, 2023, is $ 4,023,430.08 with interest earned in the amount of $ 5,174.10.
• SOLICITOR’S REPORT – Solicitor Geiser stated she continues to handle routine matters with staff. Solicitor Geiser stated she continues to handle matters of litigation. Solicitor Geiser stated she prepared for tonight’s hearing.
• ENGINEER’S REPORT – Engineer Goff stated bid for pedestrian flashers was awarded to Marino Corporation. Engineer Goff stated the notice to proceed with road paving was issued to begin tomorrow. Engineer Goff stated the Borough’s annual MS4 report was submitted. (Liquid Fuels)
• MANAGER’S REPORT – Warminster Road Bridge Update: Manager Hegele stated the next day after our August council meeting, she received an update about this project (of course the next day after she reported things were going well) (PennDOT and Allan Myers) will be finished with the substructure work last week and are scheduled to set the bridge beams on October 2nd. The substructure work has been delayed due to the project site flooding with every rainstorm event. When the project site floods, the crews must wait for the water to subside to a certain level before they can pump the area dry. After this, the crews must remove the large debris, clean and pressure wash the structure(s) being worked on at the time before they can continue with the planned construction work. This generally takes 1-2 days before work can continue. This has added up to over three weeks of lost construction workdays to date. Once they are finished with the substructure work, any flooding should not cause delays with the bridge superstructure construction. The start of construction was delayed for two months as PECO Electric had to finish their aerial and underground utility relocations. After the detour was in place, PECO Gas had to cut and cap the existing gas main that was anchored to the bridge before construction work could safely begin on the project site. PennDOT and Allan Myers are working together to make up some of the lost construction time by constantly reevaluating the construction schedule and adjusting when possible as well as reallocating extra personnel to assist with certain construction items. The current goal is to open the bridge by the end of the year.

Moreland Avenue Bridge Update: Manager Hegele stated she reached out to the County for an update on this project and the goal is to still advertise the project as soon as possible. However, at this time PECO is holding up the project since they did not account for the need for guide wires and therefore need to relook at their design since there is not enough right of way to install the facilities as currently designed. This is the last item that needs to be resolved prior to advertising. There was no time frame given for when this would be done.

Budget Update: Manager Hegele stated staff are busy working on the 2024 budget. At the October meeting we will present you with a look at the 3rd quarter and where we are with expenditure and revenues, and we are on target for having a public budget workshop at the beginning of November.

Manager Hegele stated the Borough now has a twitter page and you can find us at MYHatboro.org. We will now add this to the various modes used to keep our residents informed. If you remember earlier this year, we created an informational piece on how to be an informed resident so we will adjust and add this as well.

Manager Hegele stated the PC met earlier this month and heard the application for 21-37 N. York Road. No recommendation was received from the PC at this meeting for the land development or conditional use applications, the developer was going to go back and make some changes, in the interim they signed a waiver of time requirements which will allow them the time to make changes and then come back again before the PC.

Manager Hegele stated CVS is working on changes as well as addressing parking and hopes to resubmit and be back before the PC in October.

Manager Hegele stated the Zoning Hearing Board met as well earlier this month and continued two hearings, the first for 14 E. Moreland, the former Impact Thrift, the applicant asked for another continuance and will be back to the ZHB in October. The second hearing was for Yarrington Mills on Warminster Road, the applicant asked for a continuance as they have not been able to meet with the DEP which is a requirement for their application. They hope to be back in either October or November, stay tuned. The third application was for 109 E. Moreland Avenue, the owner requested a waiver to convert commercial space into two apartments, the ZHB approved this application.

Manager Hegele stated the Shade Tree Commission met last week, and I have not gotten an update on this meeting as such I cannot provide Council or the public with an update.

Manager Hegele stated the Pennypack Outside Steering Committee meets tomorrow night, it will be the first one since the beginning of Summer. The County is ready to meet with the committee to discuss the survey results, get information on the pollinator garden and dog park proposals, review of existing conditions, opportunities, and challenges as well as next steps in the process and scheduling a workshop for the public to gather more input.

Manager Hegele stated there are still tickets available for Bingo as well as opportunities for sponsorship. The committee is also accepting donations for raffles.

Manager Hegele stated the staff is hosting a Trunk or Treat so mark your calendars for 10/20 this is shaping up to be a fun event.

STAFF REPORTS –

• POLICE – Deputy Chief Ruegg congratulated Officer Bruckner on his promotion to Sergeant. Deputy Chief Ruegg stated the written part of the test has been completed.
• TAX COLLECTIONS – The tax collectors’ report was electronically submitted.
• PUBLIC WORKS AND PARKS/ FACILITIES – Manager Hegele stated the Pool is closed for the season. Manager Hegele stated the crew is working on installation of new lights at PP and that the lights arrived, but mounting hardware was not included, and she just found boxes were delivered here, lights to Pennypack, hardware to Loller. She stated they will work on getting this scheduled. Manager Hegele stated they are working with inside vendor to assess replacement of older aged lights with more efficient at no cost to the Borough under a PECO rebate program. Manager Hegele stated they put the finishing touches on the traffic garden in preparation of the grand opening this coming weekend. Manager Hegele stated she has been working with them on the recycling composition audit and the numbers for Hatboro recycling provided to the consortium who is working with the third party. The contract calls for an audit by a third party in the third year of the contract, which is 2024. There is no cost to the Borough for the audit if it is built into the contract. The audit will begin the week of October 16th and the new percentages from the audit will take effect on the billing cycle starting 5/1/2024 and she will do her best projecting the new costs when preparing the 2024 budget.

• DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT – Recording Secretary Bollendorf stated she submitted her final report last week to T Mobile and asked if there was someone else I could reach out to regarding the dedication to close out the grant however, I heard staff has changed since our check presentation and my emails and calls have not been returned but I am going to keep trying as T Mobile must be present as part of the grant agreement. Ryans plaque was made to be placed 3 ft in the ground but we aren’t able to do that in that area so our Public Works foreman took it to be adjusted so that it will be bolted. It has been returned but we are going to wait to place it until right before the dedication which Manager Hegele and I spoke about it so most likely we will wait until Spring at this point. In the meantime, Public Works has been taking care of the plants and I can’t thank them enough. Recording Secretary Bollendorf stated she continues to email business owners with updates regarding events, the proposed developments, as well as any resources for them. I have had several businesses reach out regarding our monthly promo basket and in a few weeks when things calm down in the office, I will be going out to meet with the business owners to see if they have any ideas, questions, or concerns. In the meantime, please continue to shop locally as much as possible. Businesses move when they don’t thrive and it’s up to us to patronize their stores and keep the money recycling through Hatboro and they will also be more inclined to continue to sponsor or donate to our events, which wouldn’t be possible without them. Remember, they chose Hatboro as their home just like everyone in this room has. Recording Secretary Bollendorf stated she is trying to get everyone updates on some new businesses such as 206 S. York Road (former Burdick’s) as when they applied for the U&O, they said a convenience store and then applied for permits for their tenant fit out. I noticed the paper has been removed from the windows, so Fire Marshal Valesky is going to contact them to close out the U&O and I’m getting an updated zoning review from them to make sure they still plan on opening under the use they applied for last year, and this also goes for 37 S. York Road (next to Joes pizza) Hopefully by the next Council meeting I will have some definite answers.

Recording Secretary Bollendorf stated there are some vacant properties for sale in the Borough:

122 N. York Road – STE 5 (HATBORO MANOR)

258 E County Line Road – Former M&S Centerless Grinding

324-332 S. York Road Caliber Collision – (selling the business not the property)

58 S. YORK ROAD – Former Bernie’s

340 S. York Road – Former Nu Life Cleaners

• FIRE MARSHAL – Fire Marshal Valesky stated that in August she got our fire inspection program back in gear, visiting many of our local businesses for their yearly inspections. A few things that she is finding are no smoke detectors, lack of working or professionally tested extinguishers, and exits being blocked. Please remember that smoke detectors save lives, and every business and residence should be equipped with them. If you ever need an inspection or aren’t sure you have enough or need help testing them, please call the office and I will be happy to come out. Fire Marshal Valesky stated as a reminder, bad weather isn’t out of the possibility yet as we enter hurricane season. Always be weather aware. Fire Marshal Valesky stated that October is fire prevention month so stay tuned to the Fire Marshals Facebook and the Boroughs page throughout the month for important tips and life safety lessons.

PUBLIC COMMENT –

Mike, Jefferson Avenue, asked if the Borough can use a different chemical regarding the spraying at Pennypack instead of glyphosate. Councilman Myers stated the study that is being circulated now states it burns it off in a few hours with the correct temperature.

Sheldon Kernosh, 176 W. Lehman Avenue, stated he is happy the park is being used and asked if different chemicals can be used to spray as the one projected can cause cancer and asked what was used for Miller Meadow. Councilman Myers stated that they discussed it with the Borough’s insurance company and the product that is proposed to be used was recommended by DCNR.

Katrina Nuss, 113 Academy Road, stated the EAC wasn’t given the opportunity to know what was going on regarding the spraying. She requested the scheduled spraying to be stopped until the EAC can do their research and present it to Council because there are other ways to do this instead of using chemicals that are known to cause cancer (for example vinegar). Councilman Myers stated there was a public workshop in April and the EAC was invited and the rep from DCNR gave their contact information in order to reach out with concerns.

Gary Hentschel, 138 Spring Avenue, asked if the Pennypack Steering Committee was open to the public because he hasn’t heard any updates. Manager Hegele stated there is a county meeting tomorrow regarding the public survey. He asked about the traffic garden and everything that has been done to the property including soccer and asked if the rules were being enforced for soccer. President Bollendorf stated that yes, they are being enforced. Councilwoman Jacobus stated that minutes to all meetings are posted on the Bough website and that is where you can find information regarding meetings and what is to be talked about(agenda) as well as whet was talked about (minutes).

Todd A ‘Harrah, 145 W. Lehman Avenue, asked what criteria was used to determine that glyphosate was the best route to go and are we able to pause the spraying to research a better alternative that isn’t harmful to children and the environment. Councilman Myes stated that DCNR stated that it would not n=be as well as our insurance company.

Kelly A ‘Harrah, 145 Lehman Avenue, stated that there is frustration in the neighborhood and it’s affecting their families personally. She also stated that we all want the same things for Hatboro, and she supports the meadow being there and knows there was a lot of time and energy invested in the DCNR grand but asked if we can slow down and get more information before we spray. Councilman Nyers stated this is par t of the lawn to meadow which will convert thousands of acres into meadows in Pennsylvania using similar procedures.

Gary Blickley, 46 Harding Avenue, stated that Councilman Myres stated that the insurance company made the decision and President Bollendorf stated they did not make the decision, the Borough checks with them on everything. Mr. Blickley stated that he was making sure Council is making the decision and not the insurance company and he stated it feels funny everyone is arguing so hard for something where earlier in the meeting the mayor spoke about the 100-year plan and going green but then we are talking about something that is not going green. He also stated that he doesn’t know what is better but asked Council to slow down and research what is better and is greener.

President Bollendorf asked for a motion to adjourn the meeting and Councilwoman Shay stated that she is not comfortable with saying and that she doesn’t know what the answer and feels sick about it and would like to pause this until Council does more research and finds another alternative.

Councilwoman Jacobus stated that she agreed with Councilwoman Shay, and we should not move ahead with this right now. Councilwoman Reichner asked if we could smother it or use another way instead of spraying. Councilman Myers stated this is the preferred method and if we don’t use the proposed method, we would we breaking our agreement as far as the terms of the grant since DCNR is funding it. President Bollendorf stated that Council will not decide based on money. Manger Hegele stated that she doesn’t have the grant in front of her and doesn’t want to speculate until she has the agreement in front of her. Councilwoman McMenamin stated that she was concerned when she read the notice that went out and would feel better and would rather decide if she has more information to better understand. President Bollendorf asked if this has d to be done now and Manager Hegele stated that two applications happen 6 weeks between each other and was told the optimal time to plant is November and the company contracted by DCNR would like to plant in November but she would ask the grant consultant if they can out this off until next year so we can do more research. President Bollendorf asked Ms. Nuss her opinion on this, and she stated that meadows are supposed to be planted in the fall and she understands they want it to be fast, but the smothering would take place in the summer and heat smothers it and takes months and stated that everyone should do their own research. She also stated that this never went through the EAC because this is a toxin, and it is a big deal and the EAC should have been given a chance to talk about it. Mayor Schultz stated that he attended a wildflower/meadow workshop and was told the round up is used and it is very quick which is why they use it, and they will never use it again and the Montgomery County conservation district recommends as it a onetime application and the smothering takes longer.

Kelly A’Harrah, 145 W. Lehman Avenue, stated the reason Round Up is used is only because it is expedient and easy and has nothing to do with the other possible effects from it. She stated just because it the easiest and fastest way doesn’t mean it’s the best way.

Councilman Myers stated that when we acquired the property, we promised we would protect it the baes way we could from development, and this is a practice that will do that and would hate to see it go away.

President Bollendorf asked if there were any ramifications and she sated she would have to pull the grant agreement to see if we have time or ask for an extension.

Katrina Nuss, 113 Academy Road, stated that she wrote the best practices of the meadow when she was on the EAC, and she doesn’t know where the paper went or if Council got it. She stated we have a meadow that is not being maintained/managed correctly and that is why it is overrun with weeds and then we want to start another one and feels experts should be involved. She also stated that she is against the use of toxins and is too close to the streams and it eventually affects everyone including Philadelphia. Councilman Myers stated that this was discussed at EAC meetings, and her document was sent to Public Works Committee for review. President Bollendorf asked Solicitor Geiser if he could ask each Councilperson their thoughts on this and she said he could as it is informational, and no action needs to be taken.

Councilwoman McMenamin stated that she is not educated on this topic but would like to get more information do they can make the proper decision and would feel more comfortable if she had more facts.

Councilwoman Jacobus stated that she agrees with Councilwoman McMenamin, and we have very passionate residents in our community and wants to do good for the ones who show up to the meetings and would like to give it more time and understand there is a grant bur doesn’t think we should do things because of money, and it should be about safety.

Councilwoman Reichner stated she agrees and that a lot if information has been shared about this grant but doesn’t remember seeing what chemicals were going to be used until this past week and she understand the conservation district and DCNR are recommending these chemicals, but she doesn’t believe they are correct regarding this and that there are other alternatives.

Councilwoman Shay stated that she doesn’t want to be attached to anything that causes cancer or causes any kind of harm down the line and feels there are other ways and would like to research them more.

Councilman Myers stated we should get more information as quickly as possible.

Mayor Schultz stated that we should find out if there are alternatives.

President Bollendorf stated that they are going to pause the spraying and wants to see if DCNR will let us push it out as far as we can until more research is done on vinegar and smothering.

Manger Hegele asked President Bollendorf if DCNR is ok with pausing it, would he like it to go to the EAC and he stated that he would.

ADJOURNMENT – Councilwoman Jacobus made a motion to adjourn the September 25, 2023, Council Meeting. Motion was seconded by Councilwoman Reichner, all ayes. Motion carried 6-0. President Bollendorf adjourned the September 25, 2023, Council Meeting at 8:33 P.M.
