This reporter arrived at the Montrose borough meeting late, due to a conflict in meetings caused by the reorganization of municipalities within the first week of January. Previous to this arrival, Mayor John Wilson and Zoning Official Jessie Grimm were sworn in to their respective roles, and various other matters were attended to.

Under discussion items, there was a talk about  mileage reimbursement. The rate set by the government was $.57 a mile. The borough was paying $.40 a mile. Mr. Lamont said he thought they paid federal rate. It was questioned who got gas mileage. It was responded that the police secretary did when she went for supplies, and the street department foreman did when he went to trainings. Mr. Lamont related a time when they had run into trouble paying mileage to someone who just enjoyed driving, though he wasn’t saying they would have that problem with current employees. Mr. Granahan said that they were also managing employees well. He moved to pay the federal rate, which motion passed.

Council reviewed the submitted letters of interest for tax collector, from Betsy O’Malley and Amy Lyden. Ms. O’Malley had noted in her letter that she would maintain the borough hours. Mr. Lamont said he knew them both, and he thought since Ms. O’Malley had actually shown the interest the first time to run for the role, he believed that would be enough reason for him to go ahead and give her a shot until the next municipal election. Ms. Skinner asked if it mattered that they didn’t have a vacancy board. Mr. Reimel asked where the vacant role went when it left their hands if they didn’t have a vacancy board. It was responded that if they were within the time frame they could make the appointment, otherwise it went to the judge of the court of common pleas. Ms. O’Malley said they had this conversation in November, and they came to the agreement that the 30 days began in January, giving them time to advertise and appoint within the thirty days. After that they would have to make a vacancy board, and it would go to that group. It was said, however, that it was a valid point, that they ought to have one, even if this appointment was within the time limit.

Returning to the original matter at hand, Mr. Granahan motioned to appoint Ms. O’Malley for the year prior to the election, and then she could run with everybody else, if anybody else so chose to run. Mr. Lamont thanked Ms. Lyden for her interest, and encouraged her to run in the election if she so chose.

Mr. Lamont said he’d gotten a couple of phone calls, relating that natural gas bills were outrageous and that the borough was getting a cut. He wished to make it clear that the borough made no money from any of the natural gas connections. He spoke of somebody who was being supposedly charged over a hundred sixty dollars in the line construction fee. A visitor said that she had somebody else complain to her about the same thing.

Solicitor O’Malley said she had somebody approach her and ask if Leatherstocking was going to be responsible for rehabilitating the sidewalks in town which had been disturbed. Mr. Lamont replied that it was his understanding that all property would be returned to the way it was prior to the work. The borough secretary noted that she had a time line of when they were going to fix things, though it wasn’t certain if it was accurate. Mr. Reimel said they could call representatives about the reports of high pricing, and Mr. Lamont meant to go look at the bill. Mr. Reimel cited a story which had previously circulated, where reality was the opposite. More investigation was warranted.

Regardless, it was reiterated that the borough was not getting a cut of the gas fees. Mr. Lamont said that they weren’t the reason the bills were high, they were the reason the taxes went down.

Mr. Reimel wanted to reach out to a location in Illinois still using mechanical parking meters, to offer them the borough’s old meters.

It was announced that the borough’s website was up and running at www.montroseborough.com.

Council went into an executive session to discuss pay. When they emerged, a motion was made to pay the borough employees $.50 more per hour than their current rate across the board for 2015. This passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned.

Blue Ridge Elementary School Students of the Month for November, 2014

Blue Ridge Elementary School Students of the Month for December, 2014

The business meeting of the Blue Ridge School Board on January 5th was fairly brief, barely a half hour. It followed the awards presented to Elementary School pupils this time by Middle/High-School Principal Matthew Nebzydoski because Elementary Principal Matthew Button was coaching a basketball game. Virtually all of the pupils receiving student-of-the-month certificates were in attendance with their families.

Mr. Nebz didn’t introduce his high-achieving students this month, although they were listed in the agenda as Amelia Kerr and Kyle Rivenburg.

He also recognized 3 Middle School and 3 High School students who received cash awards as winners of the Patriots Pen (Middle School) and Voice of Democracy (High School) essay competitions. The essays were judged by the English Department of Lackawanna College.

Once the Board got down to business, it disposed of the 11-point agenda in short order. Among the routine personnel actions the Board accepted the resignation of bus monitor Tracy Shidagis. The district has had some difficulty keeping monitors on the buses that need them. Superintendent Robert McTiernan was given permission to look for another replacement.

They also approved a change in the health insurance provisions of the District’s package for employees in benefits Class 5. The change, according to Mr. McTiernan, was prompted by some provisions of the federal Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”). The package includes a new sentence, “Spouses are not eligible for this coverage.”

The Board also accepted the administration’s request to re-approve bus transportation contracts – for last Fall. The move was necessitated by the tangle created when a bus contractor first re-incorporated under a new name, and then subsequently decided not to run any buses.

Of not least import was the Board’s decision not to exceed the 2.6% increase in property taxes set by the state Department of Education for the next fiscal year, beginning in July 2015. Adopting such a resolution allows the District more time to prepare its budget for the next year, while restricting its size. Had the Board not passed the resolution and then decided on a tax rate increase beyond the “index” amount, it would have to submit it for approval by voters at a referendum.

Blue Ridge will be getting some financial support from grant awards announced by Mr. McTiernan. One grant, for $15,000 under the federal Rural and Low-Income Schools program, will benefit a variety of programs at Blue Ridge. The other, another federal program called “21st Century Community Learning Centers,” will be administered by the Instructional Unit (North East Instructional Unit – NEIU #19) and supports an after-school tutoring program.

The IU will also become the District’s business manager. Apparently having some difficulty finding a new business manager of its own for a price it is willing to pay, the District will contract with NEIU #19 to share the services of a professional business manager. According to Board President Laurie Brown-Bonner, the IU has its own business manager to whom the new person will report, once the IU finds someone to fill the new position. The motion to accept the contract was tabled this time to allow Mr. McTiernan to clarify some details. The Board and administration hope to keep the cost below the $85,000 they had been offering as a salary for the district’s own business manager.

The Blue Ridge Board re-organized itself in December. The lineup is pretty much the same, except that Shane Rumage takes a seat at the head table as the new Vice President.

The Elementary School pupils got cookies and juice as an inducement for attending to receive their awards. The Board got some of the cookies that were left. Soup is better, of course, especially this time of year.

There’s no guarantee that you’ll get soup, or even cookies, but the next public meeting of the Blue Ridge School Board is scheduled for Monday, January 26, 2015, beginning at 7:00pm in the cafeteria in the Elementary School.

During the Great Bend Borough meeting January 8th, at which all but two members were present the subject of the memorial for Tom Golka was once again a topic of discussion. While the Borough is still in need of donations they wanted to thank the Sons of the American Legion for their generous donation. The Council asked that anyone wanting to make a donation please contact Sheila at the Great Bend Borough office at 570-879-2710.

Also on the agenda was the need for 30 new flags for Main Street, as well as new poles and brackets. It was mentioned that the new brackets and poles should be cast not plastic at which time all agreed and approved the purchase.

On this month’s police report two incidents were mentioned. One was a traffic stop which turned into the driver being charged with a DUI on December 4th at 10am. The other incident was a crash in which no injuries were involved however the driver was charged with careless driving on December 19th. In December the Police Department also reported that they issued 13 Traffic Citations and 10 Traffic Warnings. Chief Record also reported that the department purchased 4 new tires for $410.00 and office supplies for $54.00.

Next on the agenda, it was presented that there was a need for uniform stop signs for the borough. At this time there was more discussion about placing new stop signs where there now aren’t any, which requires an ordinance, so the topic was tabled for further research.

At this time the meeting was adjourned and the next Great Bend Borough meeting will be held February 5th at 7:00pm.

There was no quorum at the January 8th New Milford Borough meeting, having only Mr. Carey, Mr. Ainey, and Ms. Wages in attendance, along with the mayor and borough secretary. Therefore various items were discussed, but nothing could be acted on.

During the codes report, Mr. Scheer reviewed various matters. He had made a checklist he would use to do the inspection of the junkyard he related, taking the points out of Ordinance 160. He said that he would give the checklist to the property owner as well, so he would know what he was looking at. He hoped to set up a date and time for the inspection, which was supposed to occur annually, and have his findings by the end of the month. These findings would also be shared with the property owner, and Mr. Scheer would work with him if there were negative findings.

Mr. Scheer thanked Mr. Carey for his help getting the Adobe up and running, which he said had really streamlined his work. Throughout the meeting he reiterated how pleased he was to have access to this tool.

Mr. Scheer had checked with COG to see if a resident had any open permits, which he didn’t. He said it was possible, however, that he might have a dead permit waiting to be picked up- as this was not something Mr. Scheer had verified. Mr. Ainey said he would like to know the status of a dead permit, and what the regulations around it were. There had to be a life to a permit, and a time when it would be no longer valid. He asked if a permit would be issued the minute it was signed. Mr. Scheer said he would follow up.

Mr. Scheer had suggested at a previous meeting that the borough consider raising its application fee. He had done research on this matter in the intervening time. Of course, he knew they could not vote on it that night. He had also not fully researched variance or zoning hearing board type fees. He said that he did know that the current initial application fee of $5 left them in the red. Mr. Ainey thought that if they were going to change fees than they should also look at the variance and zoning board fees. He agreed that the application fee ought to be worth more than five dollars, but also that they should examine all of the fees, probably on an annual basis.

There was a discussion regarding a denied application for an accessory building, which had been denied due to the flood plain ordinance. The borough had received hundreds of thousands of dollars, it was related, and they would not have been eligible for it had they not had a flood ordinance. They had chosen and adopted the least restrictive options made available to them. No one, then, Mr. Ainey said, would have a less restrictive ordinance than New Milford borough, short of not having one. Mr. Carey agreed with this, that they had tried to be as non restrictive as possible. They had also chosen the best opportunity for a landowner to get an option, with an appeals process and similar avenues.

Mr. Ainey asked a question on the denial letter, querying if they explained the appeal process in the letter. Mr. Scheer responded that he did not explain the process, but he did let them know that they had the option to appeal.

Mr. Scheer said he had asked, following a previous meeting about his mileage log, and claiming mileage traveling between home and a zoning board meeting. He hadn’t been certain at the time if the mileage was valid. He hadn’t been present for the second meeting that month, and his mileage log was reviewed and denied in part because it was thought to have excessive mileage. This had been discussed with him at a personnel meeting, and he had altered the bill. He wished them to revisit that mileage tally then, with the questionable mileage removed from it. He also noted that he had not been charging for the commute to and from the borough daily.

Mr. Ainey said they had all gotten a lot of e-mails about the denied application. He said that the only person who should say anything involving codes was the codes officer. He felt it should be reiterated that the codes officer should be responsible for interpreting zoning. If someone didn’t like a decision, then there was a hearing board for codes. The only rules and laws that were etched in stone, he said, came down from Moses. Everything else could be changed, by a process with time. He said he didn’t run for council to be codes officer.

The mayor said he wished to thank Chuck and Eleanor Lempke for getting a wreath and putting it on the pagoda. He also wanted to thank Eleanor and the Beautification Committee for the beautiful banners, and Chuck Welch and Rick Ainey for helping to put them up. Finally, he wished to thank the telephone company for putting up the lights. He said he would like to get the lights up on the trees in the park again for the next holiday season. Mr. Ainey pointed out that the banners were winter banners, not holiday banners.

Mr. Ainey said the ordinance committee was supposed to meet about the pig ordinance. He was under the idea that the direction council gave to the solicitor was to find a way of allowing domesticated in-residence pets, as opposed to specifically allowing pot bellied pigs. That wasn’t the direction the solicitor seemed to have gone. The reason Mr. Ainey didn’t want to so restrict this, was the question of what would happen the next time someone wanted to keep a different domestic pet. Ms. Wages opined that it was smell and loudness that bothered her, that’s what she was concerned about. If someone had an animal outside his or her house that smelled and made a lot of noise, that, for her, was a problem.

Mr. Ainey gave a report on the natural gas commitment letters. He said they were either there (quotawise), or so close he could smell it. He thought they had enough, but he wasn’t sure because of a question about multiple units. Most of the people who had signed up were on Main Street and Church Street.

Ms. Hine pointed to a table beneath a cabinet, which Donny Button had built for them. It was made with local black walnut.

It was said that Mr. Welch had done a good job on the streets. Ms. Wages added that she was thrilled.

At this month’s Great Bend Township meeting representatives from the community on Airport Road in Great Bend voiced their concerns about damages to their roads. A representative stated that the townships’ grading of the road has created drainage issues. The townships’ road grading process is pushing gravel into the ditch which in turn is clogging the drainage and forcing water over the road according to the resident’s report. This is just one of the complaints these residents voiced at this meeting.

Other concerns included potholes not being repaired properly and getting worse with the heavy traffic on Airport Road, which lead to the discussion of the gas company trucks that are crossing the bridge and using this road creating even more damage. One representative asked the supervisors if some of the $150,830.16 that the gas company paid to the town for the Act 13 Impact Fee could be used to repair this road properly. Residents stated that they have also contacted PennDot who directed them to the Great Bend Township for these issues, and the township said it was a PennDot issue. The residents seemed frustrated and concerned for safety reasons about the deterioration of Airport Road. The Township Supervisors assured the representatives that they would inspect the road and look into options for repair.

In a follow up note from last month’s meeting, the township received the Growing Greener Grant. It was reported that the engineers have surveyed the area for the walking park, which will be started in the spring.

The next Great Bend Township meeting will be held February 2nd at 7:00pm.

The reorganization meeting of the New Milford Township was opened at 7 pm on January 5th. As there was officially no chairman due to the reorganization, Don Shibley initially served as acting chairman. Mr. Conroy motioned, when the time was right, that Mr. Shibley remain the chairman, and Mr. Ferenczi seconded this. Mr. Shibley then motioned that Mr. Ferenczi be the vice chairman. Jim Hunter was appointed to the role of Chairman of the Vacancy Committee. Jack Conroy was appointed to the spot of road master, Mr. Shibley noting that he was doing a fine job. Council voted to keep Michael Briechle as the solicitor, and Julene Graham as the secretary and treasurer. Ms. Graham was also to retain her role as the Open Records Officer and the Right to Know Officer. Ken Bondurant was voted to retain the role of Emergency Management Coordinator, and Jim Carpenetti to retain his as Deputy EMC. The Pension Officers were Julene Graham and Jack Conroy. The Sewer Enforcement Officer was to remain Tom Button, with Jay Lynch as the Alternate SEO. The Engineer was Fox Engineering, with Keystone Engineering as the alternate. Mr. Conroy was appointed the Delegate to Convention, and NBT Bank as the bank of deposit. The motion was made to keep Cindy Allen as the appointed auditor, the others- Peggy Maloof and Judy Denis- had been elected. The day and time of the monthly meeting was to be kept the same- the 3rd Wednesday of every month at 7:30 pm.

It was noted that the 2015 budget had been adopted via resolution in December of 2014. The employee benefits were to be kept the same. The motion was made to give all the employees a wage increase; this passed unanimously.

A motion was made to drop real estate taxes another quarter mill. This was the fourth year taxes had been reduced by a quarter.

The regular meeting began after the reorganization meeting. The Tennessee Gas P0ipeline was requesting information from the supervisors, it was said. TGP also submitted to the township an Environmental Report with regards to its proposed pipeline within Susquehanna County. It was suggested that there was only to be four point some odd miles that ran through the township. The company wanted to know where the township’s utilities were.

It was noted that Angeline Gathering Company was authorized by DEP to construct and/or operate under Air Quality general plan BAQ-GPA/GP-5-58-31 North Range 1. This was in regards to a compressor station.

Popple Construction got two air quality permits, one for non-metallic mineral processing (thought to be for a crusher) and the second for a screen (both in the same quarry).

Mr. Bondurant had received some notification of new training requirements from the county, which they were currently in compliance of as they were for the new year.

There was a reminder about the new office open house on Saturday the 17th from 10-2:00. It was a come and go event, open to the public. Light refreshments were to be available.

Oakland Boro Council gave unanimous approval to two key resolutions concerning River Bounty at the borough’s regular monthly meeting on Thursday, January 8th. Present for the meeting were Council President Brian Rhone, council members Jack Agler, Nelson Towner, Doug Arthur, Dave Trevarthan, and Eric Page, along with Mayor Ron Beavan and Secretary-Treasurer Flo Brush. Also present was the borough’s Solicitor Myron DeWitt to provide clear direction on the ever-muddy River Bounty enigma.

Council President Rhone gaveled the evening’s business to order at 7:01 p.m. for what would be 50 minutes of meeting in a sub-fifty degree temperature at Lanesboro’s Community Center. Lanesboro Police Chief Jim Smith had dialed up the thermostat to 68 degrees some 40 minutes before the meeting, but all to no avail. The building’s furnace paid no attention and resisted all attempts to solicit its cooperation. Oakland’s attendees responded with full frontal resistance--coats, hats, gloves/mittens to battle the adverse environment.

Under those conditions Solicitor DeWitt was moved to the top of the evening’s agenda to ensure his sage advice was heard before hypothermia could interpose any negative consequences on speaker or listeners’ cognitive faculties. At President Rhone’s invitation Solicitor DeWitt outlined the provisions of an email dated December 28, 2014 from Scott Goodwin of Grand River Power Company. The course of action outlined would ultimately result in hydroelectric power generation from the renovated remains of River Bounty as early as December 2015.

That December 2015 date is the most optimistic outcome imaginable, considering the federal government’s typical foot-dragging at FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) and the Byzantine permitting procedures required for permission to operate within county, state, and federal levels of regulatory authority. Nevertheless, Oakland Borough Council did what little it could to move the process forward. Council first approved a resolution to accept Grand River Power Comapany’s proposal for purchase of River Bounty’s property and facilities, and secondarily approved a resolution for a letter of support to be provided to Grand River--both resolutions being in accord with the Grand River’s proposal.

While Oakland Borough’s resolutions are positive, much more is required before the sale is consummated. Grand River is still seeking a letter of support from Susquehanna Depot borough. Additionally, sale must be approved at River Bounty’s next scheduled meeting in February. Assuming the River Bounty Board can achieve a quorum to meet and does approve sale, the actual transfer of title would have to be drawn up and be recorded at the county courthouse. Optimistic timeline for completion of these stages would be March 31, 2015. At that point River Bounty would take on a new name--Susquehanna Valley Improvement Company (SVIC) in Grand River’s master plan.

Solicitor DeWitt departed the meeting after 20-plus minutes, his mission completed and his early release conducive to personal opportunity for the recapture of some measure of body heat. Council pushed ahead with its agenda. President Rhone presented a succinct summary of the Codes Report, namely five troubled properties under the borough’s watchful eye: one in condemnation proceedings, another whose owner received recent warning, and three others under active monitoring for measures of progress.

The Parks Report was next on the agenda, but Parks Chairman Gary Boughton was absent from the evening’s meeting. No one present had anything to report--except that Councilman Boughton had not advised any of them of any news to pass on at the meeting. Council moved on to the Building Committee Report. Councilman Page reported a lack of progress due to contractors not getting back to the committee despite persistent attempts at follow-up. Next meeting of the committee is in February, at which time Councilman Page hopes and expects to obtain input from contractors more engaged in the borough’s interest.

Mayor Beavan presented the Police Report for the month of December 2014. There were a total of eight police incidents recorded, four of which were traffic stops. Of the remaining four one was in response to a motor vehicle accident, one involved property theft, one case consisted of identity theft, and one investigation centered on drugs and drug paraphernalia.

Also under the Mayor’s Report was a proposal for a relatively small “public works project” which proposal the mayor was eager to undertake. Looking for help, Mayor Beavan found Jack Agler a willing participant--but within limitations. It appears the Mayor could use a few more helping hands, particularly those with strong backs and at least minimal ability to wield shovels. Those civic-minded wishing to lend a hand are advised to contact Mayor Beavan for details.

Finally, a note about the 2015 budget; the borough’s budget for 2015 has been approved and is on file at the borough office for anyone interested in reviewing it. Point of contact is Secretary/Treasurer Flo Brush. The borough ended fiscal/calendar year 2014 with a surplus larger than anticipated at 2014’s beginning. Municipal tax rates remain unchanged for 2015.

With meeting closure at 7:50 p.m. Oaklanders, lacking incentive to linger, maneuvered smartly to exit in search of warmer shelter. (Lanesboro authorities had been duly notified of the furnace issue for corrective action.) Next Oakland Boro Council meeting is scheduled for the second Thursday in February for what will hopefully be a balmy 68 degrees in Lanesboro’s Community Center.
