Municipal debt is set to grow in Lanesboro. That’s the clear outcome of a decision made by Lanesboro Borough Council at their monthly meeting held on Tuesday, April 2. Present for the meeting were President Todd Glover, Vice-President Dan Boughton, council members Jason Fissel, David Glidden, Dale Rockwell, and Colleen Y. Wilkes. Also present were Mayor Chris Maby and Secretary/Treasurer Gail Hanrahan. Councilwoman Regina Dilello was absent.

The decision that set debt-growth into motion came near the end of the 45-minute meeting. By roll-call vote 4-1, with councilmen Glover, Boughton, Glidden, and Rockwell voting “aye;” councilwoman Wilkes voting “nay;” and councilman Fissel abstaining; council agreed to accept Fissel Construction Company’s bid of $34,500 to make renovations to the Community Center, and proceed forthwith while a loan to be complete funding is sought. Gentle readers may recall that Councilman Fissel’s bid was the only bid received by council during the bidding process in March, and council had tabled decision-making to research source funding to meet the expense. With Lanesboro’s available funds for this project topping out at $21,100 dollars (most of which is derived from Act 13 monies), council discussed and set a course for obtaining the $13,400 remainder through a loan from either local bank, with the best terms/interest rate being the deciding factor in who gets the borough’s business.

In the way of correspondence Secretary Hanrahan noted receipt of a letter from FEMA thanking the borough for enactment of its Floodplain Ordinance on March 19. There being no other correspondence, President Glover opened the meeting to public comment. A young couple renting a house in the Soop’s Grove section of Lanesboro presented council with their predicament and asked for council’s assistance. Their dilemma, it seems, is that two trees, ancient and battered, have major branches overhanging their home. The danger of falling branches is so severe that they take the precaution of leaving their home during extreme weather or high winds so as to assure safety of life and limb. To resolve this problem, professionals are needed to bring down the offending trees. The two adjoining properties belong to the borough (FEMA-buyout properties), but it seems unclear as to whether the trees spring forth from the borough’s properties or that of the homeowner’s. Council unanimously expressed support for expedient action to fell the trees - upon verification that the trees are indeed on borough property. Inquiries will be made, research conducted, and a minimum of three bids obtained before cutting commences.

Mayor Maby presented the borough’s police report for the month of March. It showed 196 call-out hours, including 15 hours in Thompson. For Lanesboro there were 39 traffic stops, with 25 citations and 14 warnings issued for the following causes: Speeding violations (26), Inspection violations (3), Stop-sign violations (3), Registration violations (2), Equipment violations (2), Insurance violation (1), and Careless driving violations (2). Arrests were made in three cases: arrest warrant service; filing of drug charges; and for subpoena violation with transportation to court.

Lanesboro PD also kept engaged with the following: March 19 - Served Shut-off Notices; March 22 - Attempt to locate; March 27 - Assist to Susquehanna PD (assault); March 29 - Child welfare check (with C&YS contacted); March 29 - Child Complaint.

For their 15 hours of patrol in Thompson, Lanesboro police made seven traffic stops, with four citations issued and four warnings given. Reasons for the stops included: Speeding violations (5), Inspection violation (1), and Stop-sign violation (1). Other police actions included warrant service, filing of drug charges (pending), and a case of theft/criminal mischief.

Mayor Maby also noted that COG (Council of Governments) declined to handle matters involving horses. That being the case, Lanesboro PD will be tasked with repelling equine invaders, unless or until council engages a zoning enforcement contractor to keep a lid on the matter. Mayor Maby noted that police were “attempting to reach out to (horse) owner/s and ask them to attend a council meeting to discuss their intentions.” A second zoning matter for Lanesboro Police involves investigation of an illegal business operating in the borough. Lastly, a contract between the borough and the school district is all but completed, with the borough prepared to make the necessary changes to its insurance policy and SCSD prepared to take responsibility for the officer’s remuneration for 180 days each school year.

In other miscellaneous matters Lanesboro council:

- Submitted a Community Development Block Grant for $89,000 (with the borough agreeing to put up $9,000 in matching funds).

- Agreed to have mower maintenance/repairs completed to make the mower serviceable.

- Discussed the severe rust, among other problems, on the garbage truck, and the need for the truck’s repair or replacement.

- Appointed a committee to include councilmen Fissel and Glidden, with Mayor Maby and Secretary Hanrahan present, to investigate the placing of an order through Co-Star for a new Ford plow truck, at an estimated cost of $51,000, as well as how to fund that probable purchase.

- Reported that there was still no word on the Sewer Authority’s purported interest in purchasing the borough’s sewer.

Council wrapped up the meeting at 7:45 p.m., right after the vote to authorize community center renovations per the associated indebtedness previously mentioned. Lanesboro, not heavily indebted in comparison to many municipalities, is taking a step, albeit small, into deeper financial waters. The obvious need for replacement of - or costly repairs for - the borough’s plow truck and garbage truck are also looming large on the borough’s expense horizon. Council members’ financial acumen and agility will certainly be tested in the months ahead, as the possibility grows Lanesboro may find even more debt on its future balance sheets.

Next council meeting is set for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 7.

Ray Holtzman, Bea Alesky, Joe Collins, Louise (“Dolly”) Lonzinski, Rick Franks, Mayor Jim Riecke, Ron Cranage, Pat Thatcher, Bret Jennings, Mary Jean Fleming, Mike VanGorden, Ruth Loucks, Jeff Burkett, Frank O’Connor, Sheila Guinan, Dawn & Mike Crook, Jerry MacConnell, Mike Wasko, Dick Button. Just some of the generous people who have served and still serve Great Bend Borough, the little town in the big crook of the Susquehanna River. They all care deeply about the place and I will miss them.

Great Bend Borough Council (l-r): Mayor James Riecke, Ruth Loucks, Bret Jennings, Pat Thatcher, Sheila Guinan, Rick Franks, Mike VanGorden, Jerry MacConnell, Dawn Crook.

I’ve sat in on discussions about “water on Washington Street,” the sewer plant, flags on Main Street, vandalism in the town’s 3 precious parks since December 5, 1996, like all the others, the first Thursday of the month. I watched the death and rebirth of the police department, and even reported the demise and resurrection of a police chief. I will miss all that, too.

Moving out of the area will make it difficult for me to continue to cover the Borough Council meetings, which I did for the last time on April 4.

With Spring in the air, and the expectation of more “impact fee” money from natural gas exploration, Council is considering more paving projects, beginning with Mountain Vista Lane and Maple Street. They also approved the installation of a new drain across the length of the garage, on the recommendation of Roads & Parks Supervisor Mike VanGorden. Mr. VanGorden was also given approval to purchase new gates for the parks, and to hire a street sweeping machine for $175.

The new Codes Enforcement Officer, Mike Crook will be looking into an accumulation of trash in a yard where the property owner has already told the Borough that it’s “cheaper to pay the fine than to pick the stuff up.” It seems there are still some who don’t care.

With a new roof and a steady tenant in the Blue Ridge Senior Center, Council recently had the floor in the Borough Building stripped and waxed (3 coats). The contractor recommended re-waxing the floor every 2-3 months; he would do it for $225. Consider it done. But what about the walls? “Let’s get it done,” said Jerry MacConnell, and so bids will be solicited for painting the interior. The only issue is scheduling the work around the senior citizens. And when that’s done, maybe the building’s windows will get new blinds, too.

There was a brief executive session mid-way through the meeting, covering personnel and “equipment” issues in the police department. Attorney Frank O’Conner said the details “can’t be made public at this time.” Hard to say what that means, but Officer in Charge Jon Record didn’t get to present his regular police report either, which included 2 arrests (for under-age drinking and a dog bite), and 12 traffic tickets. Residents are reminded that they can bring unused prescription drugs to the police office (in the town garage) on April 27 from 10am to 2pm for disposal, no questions asked, as part of the “National Take Back Initiative.”

There are lots of other people who care about Great Bend Borough. The VFW contributed $1,400 for new picnic tables, and their Ladies’ Auxiliary added another $500. At $100 apiece, that’s 19 tables. It looks like the town will have a surplus of picnic tables, each designated by the donor to recognize a person, a business, or whatever, which will be posted on a sign in each location.

These might seem small matters in a bigger place. But to the many people who care about Great Bend, they are what make it a special place and home to some special people. My very best wishes to the people and Council of Great Bend Borough.

In arguably the most consequential act of their April 1st meeting Great Bend Township Supervisors Joe Gaughan, Ron Cranage, Jr., and Sheila Guinan unanimously passed Floodplain Ordinance 04-01-2013. The ordinance, enacted in accordance with federal mandates, is effective as of April 2. Through passage of the ordinance Supervisors accepted the FEMA-drafted floodplain/elevation maps for the area encompassing the township. Those maps establish the basis for property owners’ participation in and obligation to obtain flood insurance through FEMA. They also underlie the basis for insurance rate-setting. According to FEMA’s web homepage, “The overriding purpose of the floodplain management regulations is to ensure that participating communities take into account flood hazards, to the extent that they are known, in all official actions relating to land management and use.”

The Supervisors’ regular monthly meeting, never noted for circumlocutions or grand-standing, was even briefer than usual, clocking in at less than 14 minutes. The opening minutes of the meeting found unanimous and quick approval of the March minutes, the meeting agenda, and the Treasurer’s Report.

Roads, dirt roads, and Baptist Hill Road in particular led to a short discussion during the Road Report. Supervisor Guinan noted that road crews were being kept busy filling potholes on dirt roads. Chairman Gaughan reported that WPX Energy - or one of its subsidiaries - would be taking care of any ditch problems as they arise on Baptist Hill Road. Supervisor Gaughan is in regular contact with gas company representatives and promised to coordinate as needed concerning the road’s condition and maintenance. Gas operations and related truck traffic are likely to step up substantially in June, he said.

In a light-hearted, though serious, spirit Supervisor Guinan announced that “job openings” are still available. The township needs an Emergency Management Coordinator, as well as a replacement for Norm Darrow on the Sewer Authority. These volunteer positions for Great Bend Township residents offer hard-chargers opportunities to excel in service to their neighbors. Those interested in applying for either position should contact any of the three supervisors or apply at the Township Office.

Supervisor Guinan also noted that the township had received correspondence from the Susquehanna County Conservation District on two separate issues. First, the District is accepting applications for the 2013 Dirt and Gravel Road Grant Program. Secondly, the District requested a donation from the township for their Envirothon program. After some discussion of the program’s content and merits, as well as the amount usually allocated for worthy projects of this type, Supervisors approved a $100 donation.

In new business Supervisor Cranage took great pleasure in presenting, on behalf of Musa-Stiles VFW Post 6223, a new American flag to replace the township’s worn and tattered flag which had seen many years of faithful service. All present expressed their thanks and appreciation to the officers and members of Musa-Stiles.

There being no other business, Supervisors approved adjournment. Their next meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. on the first Monday in May.

The Montrose Borough meeting on Monday April 1st wasn’t a joke. It was also quite bereft of controversy, and fairly short, though various matters of import were discussed- including park bathrooms and additional police.

The subject of a letter from the Area Agency on the Aging was discussed. They had requested a donation. It was suggested that the borough not donate as they were county funded. Since no one argued with this suggestion, it was followed.

The Montrose Minute Men had also requested a donation. Mr. Lamont opined that the workman’s compensation which the borough paid was the municipality’s contribution. This also seemed to be widely agreed upon, based on a lack of dissent.

The question was raised as to whether or not the police were seeking to advertise for additional personnel. Chief Smith said that it was getting tight. Mr. Chamberlain asked if the borough was going to put the bathrooms in this summer. Mr. Reimel responded that it hadn’t been budgeted. Knowing what prefab cost, he said, he wondered if they might not want to ask Mr. Puzo to see what it might cost to have it brick built. He suggested talking to Mr. Puzo, and presenting him with some of the sketches procured from West Virginia within previous years. Mr. Reimel thought that a block building might be cheaper than ordering the intact unit which they currently had the plans for. The secretary asked if they could install a port-a-john in the meantime. Mr. Reimel felt this should be done. He said that the word had gone out that they had cameras up in the park. There was discussion regarding where the bathroom ought to be located, and whether there ought to be one or two. Mr. Lamont suggested that if people had to travel a little bit to find the bathroom there might not be as much vandalism. Mr. Lamont made the motion to put a single port-a-potty in the park by baseball season, on the Jackson Street end. It could be moved later. Mr. Lamont suggested forming a committee, and asked Mr. Reimel if he was interested in being the Potty Chair. Mr. Reimel agreed.

Mr. DiPhillips’ report was discussed in absentia. It seemed, it was noted, that in order to have the pipe on Coleman Road replaced a 47 page packet would need to be completed and an engineer contacted, for purposes of a GP-507 for Waterways Engineering and Wetland General Permit. Mr. Lamont said that then he guessed that Carizzo wouldn’t need to travel that road. Mr. Schuster suggested that Carizzo fill out the paperwork. The secretary had been told by the company that they would probably get it filled out more quickly if they did it themselves. Mr. Reimel suggested contacting Joe Hunt to see if he wanted to tackle the project. This action was pursued, Mr. Lamont was to ask him what it would cost to have him fill it out. Mr. Lamont asked what council wanted to do with the end of Coleman Road until that point. Solicitor O’Malley pointed out that there was no formal agreement. The paperwork they had given Mr. DiPhillips had no space for signatures, no talk of liabilities. It was said that one of the neighbors didn’t have a formal written agreement with them. Ms. O’Malley offered to beef up the agreement for them. Mr. DiPhillips had said that somebody would have to replace that culvert that year anyway.

Mr. Lamont then spoke of a piece of pipe collapsed on Mill Street. He asked if it was a matter of pulling it up and replacing it, or if they wanted to curb that corner. Mr. Schuster suggested that, with all the traffic which was going to go through there they might want to save some parking spots. Mr. Lamont asked if they should have Mr. DiPhillips investigate curbing in there, so long as he was going to open it up and work on the pipe. Mr. Chamberlain asked who was going to plow it with a curb there. Mr. Lamont said that if it was curbed to the pole, it shouldn’t really affect plowing. Mr. Lamont said that he personally would like to see every corner in town curbed. Mr. Chamberlain suggested that with the 706 project coming, if council was going to do something it might better be done quickly. Mr. Lamont suggested having the street committee instruct Mr. DiPhillips on fixing the matter.

Mr. Reimel said that he wished to update the borough on the ice rink, which he said held a lot of water. He also said that the guys had done a nice job with the top of a catch basin.

Mr. Lamont asked how many of the incidents mentioned in the police report were call outs. Chief Smith said that there were a few of them there, and that a couple of shifts had been put on for this purpose. They were trying to look at the call outs and see when they happened, and schedule shifts for those evenings.

The Chocolate and Wine Festival had requested a police presence at the festival. They were offering to reimburse the officers, as they generally did. Chief Smith explained that it usually represented an additional two officers. The committee had decided to be proactive and ask for additional security. This would be the third year of this service. Council approved the action.

Brian Baker was requesting the use of the borough building for LTAP municipal training. He had used it before. The request was granted.

The VFW requested permission to hold the Memorial Day parade. This was approved.

The Forest Lake township agreement was discussed. Solicitor O’Malley had gone through and updated some of the language, and then added some of the things which Frank Pinkowsky had noted. The agreement could be entered into that day, but it could not take effect until the ordinance was advertised and enacted. Ms. Skinner brought attention to the initial term of the agreement. Mr. Reimel said that Mr. Granahan had explained that though it was a two year agreement, by consent of either party it could be terminated. Ms. Skinner pointed out a date discrepancy, which was to be corrected. A motion was made to accept the agreement.

After a brief executive session requested by the mayor, Mr. Schuster made a motion that Mike Hornak change his title/job description to Sergeant and Nathaniel Williams change, his job description/title to Corporal on a probationary 90 day basis. At that time there was no pay increase discussed.

It was Superintendent Robert McTiernan’s birthday (we won’t disclose his new age), a good excuse for cake at the Blue Ridge School Board meeting on April 2nd. However, the sparse group of the meeting’s auditors had to wait ‘til the end for a slice of the delicious white cake with thick white sugar frosting trimmed with Blue Ridge crimson.

The meeting opened with the presentation of a certificate of appreciation to businessman Peter Quigg, president of the Community Foundation of the Endless Mountains. It was the second time in as many weeks that Mr. Quigg had appeared before the Blue Ridge Board. Last week he gave members of the Fundraising Committee a briefing on what the Foundation does, and what it might do for Blue Ridge.

This time Mr. Quigg was honored for promoting “grants to support dual enrollment tuition expenses” in the amount of $2,482 so far. According to Mr. McTiernan, the various dual enrollment programs at Blue Ridge are growing, giving college-bound graduates a leg up in many cases.

Middle/High School Principal Matthew Nebzydoski next introduced one of his outstanding seniors, Madison (“Maddi”) Button, who told of the deep interest in music she has acquired at Blue Ridge. She said that she will study music therapy at Elizabethtown College. Mr. Nebz noted that not only was Ms. Button chosen for state chorus along with Alan Weed – the only state choristers from Susquehanna County – but she will perform the lead role in the High School’s upcoming production of The Sound of Music. Riley Fekette, the other senior to be recognized this month, was not able to attend the meeting.

Once they got down to business, and facing a heavy meeting schedule this month, Board members accepted a 15-point agenda in short order. Among other measures, the Board approved next year’s budget for the Northeastern Intermediate Educational Unit (NEIU 19). The Board will be considering its own budget for next year at a special meeting scheduled for a week hence, on Monday April 8, beginning at 6:30pm.

The Board approved the participation of an unnamed student in the archery program. Asked why such action would require Board approval, Mr. McTiernan said that the student is enrolled in a cyber-charter school, and extracurricular participation by such students in Blue Ridge activities requires Board sanction under the Board’s own policies.

Jill Hoffman will continue her tenure as Blue Ridge Athletic Director next year. And Alicia Ross was appointed to a new position for the remainder of the current school year, monitoring the Fitness Center 4 days per week, Monday through Thursday, from 3 to 5pm. Her compensation is decided based on her current position and benefits package at the school. The Board also approved a long list of “Co-Curricular” positions for next year. These are “extra curricular” jobs not part of Schedule B of the collective bargaining agreement with the professional staff. Another list of Schedule B appointments was also approved.

The Board approved, and Board president Laurie Brown-Bonner will sign, a resolution declaring the willingness of the Blue Ridge District to purchase natural gas from Leatherstocking Gas Company for 5 years, once it becomes available. By this resolution the District declares its intent to act as an “anchor” customer for the proposed gas service, which will help to ensure that nearby areas of New Milford Township and Borough will also have an opportunity to sign on for what is hoped will be a cheaper supply of energy.

In addition to the budget meeting on April 8, the Board is scheduled for a workshop on Monday, April 29, 2013 beginning at 7:30 in the cafeteria. The Board is also inviting the public to a special hearing that same evening on the “single-bell” busing system now in the works. The hearing is expected to take place in the auditorium beginning at 6:30pm.
