“Ashlee, do you find the meeting interesting?”
“Not really,” said Ashlee Derrick, the new student representative to the Blue Ridge School Board. And Board President Laurie Brown-Bonner gave her high marks for honesty.
Dreary it may be, but the Blue Ridge Board plodded ahead nonetheless at a workshop on October 26th. This time there was no official business to conduct, so the workshop took no action. It started a little early, with a meeting of the Board’s Facilities & Grounds Committee, whose members heard a summary of recent activity from Maintenance Supervisor Ron Cranage. The most significant item on his list was a defective sewage drain line under the cafeteria floor.
It appears that over the 40-odd years since the buildings were erected, the subsurface may have subsided a bit. Some 80 feet of the drain pipe under the concrete floor has developed a “belly” that inhibits the flow, causing backups. Mr. Cranage put together a request for proposal to serve as the basis for soliciting bids to dig up and replace the pipe next summer. In the meantime, his staff has been flushing the pipe regularly and the backups have not recurred.
Superintendent Matthew Button reported to the Committee that the Intermediate Unit (Northeastern Educational Unit #19) has requested use of some space for its “early intervention” program that has to move from the old school property in New Milford. Some income would be involved, in the form of rent. And Mr. Button said that, barring a substantial increase in elementary school enrollments, space can be made available.
Once the full Board gathered for its workshop, Ms. Brown-Bonner began polling Committee chairs for reports. Under Transportation, Mr. Button was asked for progress on one of his goals to refurbish the bus contracts. He said that he has been studying the issue in detail and expects to solicit interest from any and all operators, not limited to the current 6 contractors. He would like to invite them to a confab to lay out the district’s requirements and hear what they have to offer.
New Middle/High School Principal Peter Supko reported that he is considering a new vendor for the High School yearbooks. The new provider does not insist on a minimum order for the books whose cost has reached upwards of $80 per copy.
Harold Empett, the Blue Ridge representative on the IU Board, reported that the Intermediate Unit is short of funds, presumably as a result of the state budget impasse in Harrisburg between the Democrat Governor and the Republican-dominated legislature.
School districts across the state are being severely pinched by the missing state funds. Blue Ridge – at least so far – is holding on, awaiting a resolution. In the meantime, Business Manager Brian Dolan said that he is not paying bills rendered by charter schools. Ms. Brown-Bonner related a situation in Harrisburg that began when the Department of Education “diverted” some funds from gambling revenue to pay some charter schools. The state school boards association (PSBA), the lobbying organization for public schools, promptly sued, and the state treasurer halted the diversion. Some districts had been in the position of having paid charter school bills while not receiving reimbursement from the state; as might be expected, they are having some difficulty retrieving their funds from the charters.
Negotiations on a new contract with the Blue Ridge Teachers’ Association, the teacher’s union, are continuing; the teachers are still working under a contract that expired more than a year ago. Ms. Brown-Bonner reported a meeting on October 22. The Board is expecting a counter proposal from the teachers at the next meeting, scheduled for November 9. Another meeting is already scheduled for November 30 as well. Asked if negotiations are narrowing toward agreement, Ms. Brown-Bonner was not forthcoming.
The longest discussion was provoked by a proposal put forth by Mr. Button to outsource the recruiting and placement of substitute teachers through Kelly Services, the temporary staffing company. Mr. Button had been tasked to come up with a better way to find suitable substitutes, and Board Member Christina Whitney, who works in career development professionally (and chairs the Board’s Career Development Committee), suggested the new approach. According to Christina Cosmello, chair of the Board’s Personnel Committee, several companies were approached, and Kelly seemed to make the best offer.
Board members were each provided with a copy of the proposed contract, which would cover a school year and, according to Mr. Button, would allow the district to “opt out” at any time.
As might be expected, there were a number of questions. A few Board members would have liked the company to make a presentation. Instead, their questions will be forwarded through Mr. Button, who will also ask the company if they would like to send someone to appear at a meeting.
Under the contract, all instructional substitutes would be placed through Kelly. The company recruits teachers for their program at colleges, and offers benefits that might not be available to temporary staff employed directly at Blue Ridge. The arrangement will significantly cut delays and paperwork and associated costs for the district. Naturally there is a premium to be paid for hiring substitutes through a middleman, but Mr. Button said the net additional cost to the district of the 36% overhead should be minimal.
The district can also find full-time teaching staff through Kelly, but Mr. Button said that Kelly would take 20% of such a teacher’s first year salary for the service.
One question still outstanding concerns how long-term substitutes might be handled under such a contract.
However uninteresting it may have been for a high school student, the meeting came complete with a delicious hot chicken/corn chowder soup with rolls and butter, and apples for dessert. Certainly Doctor MacConnell’s Wellness Committee should have found that menu much healthier than the usual fare of chips, pretzels and soda.
Of course one can’t assume such a repast for all meetings. The next ones are scheduled for November 2 and 23. The latter will also feature a session on the budget; considering the situation in Harrisburg, that could be more interesting, in a way.
President Judge Raymond Hamill of the 22nd Judicial District, sitting in Honesdale, handed down his latest ruling in a series of cases involving Starrucca Borough and the Haynes Family (Darl, Carol, and Darwin) of Starrucca. The short version of his October 21, 2015 ruling is that “it is the ORDER of this Court that the Appeal by the Appellants is GRANTED and Ordinance No. 2013-3 is hereby VACATED. The Court FINDS in FAVOR of Appellants, Darl Haynes, Carol Haynes, and Darwin Haynes; and AGAINST Appellee, Council of Starrucca Borough.”
Judge Hamill’s “Conclusion of Law” was put as follows: “Kellogg Road provides the sole means of access to Appellants’ [Haynes’] two parcels of real property. Appellants did not give Appellee [Council of Starrucca Borough] their consent to vacate Kellogg Road. Therefore, Appellee erred when it adopted Ordinance No. 2013-3, vacating Kellogg Road.”
Here’s the background of the case as Judge Hamill laid it out, “Presently before this Court is an appeal filed by Darl Haynes, Carol Haynes, and Darwin Haynes (hereinafter “Appellants”), from Ordinance No. 2013-3 adopted by the Council of Starrucca Borough (hereinafter the “Appellee) on November 4, 2013, vacating Kellogg Road. The issue before this Court is whether Appellee had the authority to vacate Kellogg Road.”
So that readers interested in parsing the fine points of law leading to the aforesaid ORDER, Judge Hamill’s DISCUSSION of the case NO. 515-CIVIL-2013 is quoted in its entirety as follows.
“By Ordinance, council has the authority to vacate or close a street or portion of a street previously opened or laid out provided that no street or portion of a street providing the sole means of access to a tract of land is vacated without the consent of those to whom access would be denied. 8 Pa. C.S.A. Section 1731(a)(2). The street that is the subject of this case is Kellogg Road. The Borough officially accepted Kellogg Road into the road system of Starrucca Borough on November 7, 2007 when it adopted Resolution NO. 2007-04. PETITIONERS’ EXHIBIT #2. Kellogg Road provides Appellants with access from State Route 4014 to their two parcels of real property. PETITIONERS’ EXHIBIT #1. The first parcel of real property is 18.3-acres and is owned by Darl Haynes and his wife, Carol Haynes. The second parcel of real property is 64-acres and is owned by Darl Haynes and his brother, Darwin Haynes. On November 4, 2013, without Appellants’ consent, Appellee adopted Ordinance No. 2013-3, vacating Kellogg Road. Appellants argue that Kellogg Road is their sole means of access to their two parcels of real property. Because Appellants did not give Appellee their consent to vacate Kellogg Road, Appellants argue that Ordinance No. 2013-3 should be vacated.”
What follows are the Appellee’s three arguments in support of its side, and Judge Hamill’s judgment as to their merit.
“I. WHETHER APPELLANTS’ 18.3 ACRE PARCEL OF REAL PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN STARRUCCA BOROUGH. Although it is undisputed that Kellogg Road provides the sole means of access to the 18.3-acre parcel of real property, Appellee argues that it did not have to consider this issue because the parcel is not located in Starrucca Borough. At the same Council meeting Appellee adopted Ordinance No. 2013-3, vacating Kellogg Road, it approved a map prepared by James B. Rutherford as the official map of Starrucca Borough. The map shows the boundary line between the Borough and Scott Township as being south of the 18.3 acre parcel, thereby placing the property within Scott Township, not Starrucca Borough. According to 8 Pa. C.S.A. Section 502, there is a procedure in place for ascertaining and establishing disputed boundaries. Statutorily prescribed remedies are to be strictly pursued. The disputed boundary in this case has not been ascertained and established in accordance with section 502. If this Court were to agree with Appellee’s argument, it would, in essence, be ascertaining and establishing a disputed boundary.” Judge Hamill here inserts a footnote, and then concludes, “Therefore, this argument is without merit.”
The inserted footnote reads as follows, “On February 7, 2014, this Court issued an Order denying Defendant’s [Council of Starrucca Borough] Petition for Recusal of Plaintiffs’ [Haynes] Counsel; there was no further action on this case until June 19, 2015. Between February 7, 2014 and June 19, 2015, Defendant [Council of Starrucca Borough] filed two proceedings against Scott Township. The first proceeding was a Petition for Establishment of Boundaries for Starrucca Borough. The petition was dismissed without prejudice on December 15, 2014 because Starrucca Borough did not have the funds for a bond. The second proceeding was a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment. The Complaint was dismissed without prejudice on April 14, 2015 because Starrucca Borough did not exhaust a statutory remedy under 8 Pa. C.S.A. Section 502. Interesting.” Yes, Judge Hamill really did include that last word in the footnote.
“II. WHETHER KELLOGG ROAD PROVIDES THE SOLE MEANS OF ACCESS TO APPELLANTS’ 64 ACRE PARCEL OF REAL PROPERTY. Appellee argues that Kellogg Road does not provide the sole means of access to Appellants’ 64-acre parcel of real property. According to a PennDOT map, there is a Scott Township Road that runs from Route 4014 to Appellants’ 64-acre parcel of real property. DEFENDANT’S EXHIBIT #4. The road, however, is labeled in the map’s legend as an impassable township road. Id. The existence of the road is insufficient to show accessibility. Therefore, Kellogg Road provides the sole means of access to the 64-acre parcel of real property.”
“III. WHETHER APPELLEE NEEDS APPELLANTS’ CONSENT WHEN APPELLANTS HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE A CLAIM FOR DAMAGES. Appellee argues that if Kellogg Road provides the sole means of access, Ordinance No. 2013-3 is valid because Appellants’ (sic) have the right to make a claim for damages pursuant to 8 Pa. C.S.A. Section 1733. Section 1733(c) states that ‘[i]f the parties cannot agree upon damages sustained by reason of the opening or vacation of any street or portion of a street, the damages shall be assessed by a jury of view under the law governing eminent domain.’ 8 Pa. C.S.A. Section 1733(c). There is no language in section 1733(c) that negates the unambiguous exception in section 1731(a)(2). Section 1731(a)(2) clearly states that council may only vacate a street that provides the sole means of access to a tract of land if those to whom access would be denied give their consent. 8 Pa. C.S.A. Section 1731(a)(2).”
Representing Darl, Carol, and Darwin Haynes, and prevailing in the above case was Ronald M. Bugaj, Esq.
R. Anthony Waldron, Esq., Solicitor for Starrucca Borough, represented Starrucca Borough Council.
The above decision by President Judge Hamill should not be confused with a parallel case on track in the Federal Courts. Attorney Harry T. Coleman of Carbondale, representing Plaintiff Darl Haynes of Starrucca Borough, filed a Complaint with the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania in Scranton on September 11. That suit names Starrucca Borough as Defendant in a Civil Rights Case alleging violation of Mr. Haynes’ 14th Amendment rights in the U.S. Constitution.
The Harford Township Supervisors assembled for the third time in October on the 29th, primarily to pin down a balanced budget for 2016. They did that, and the result will be formally offered to the taxpaying public at the next meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, November 10.
Along the way, wearing their other hats as the Harford Sewer Authority, they reviewed the situation with the recent blockage in the main line along Tingley Lake Road, with an eye to discovering a root cause. This time as last, some valves and seals gave way; several pumps burned out and there aren’t enough spares.
The Supervisors first decided to purchase 6 more pumps and a spare basin (basins go for about $4,100 each), and one complete unit (basin, pump and control panel) for a new installation expected soon at Tingley Lake.
They then decided to spend some extra funds to have the sewer system’s engineers make a house-to-house survey of the system in the area north of where the blockages have occurred, including inspecting each pump basin, to try to determine what might be causing the blockages. Supervisor Conrad Owens thinks that loose lids on some of the basins may be allowing foreign material (soil, etc.) to get into the basins.
That out of the way for the moment, the Supervisors began their second review of the proposed budget for 2016. The Harford budget is broken out into 4 parts. Since the sewer was on their minds, they started with that section.
The sewer system currently comprises 282 EDU’s (equivalent dwelling units, roughly a residential property; commercial properties such as the truck stops on the Interstate are assessed multiple EDU’s each). At the present rate of $125 per EDU per quarter, fees should bring in $141,000 per year. Assuming a collection rate of 92% (8% delinquency rate), the system can expect just under $130,000 from fees, plus about $5,500 from other sources. The Supervisors did not change much on the expense side except to add $200 to the monthly fee charged by the system’s operating company, David Klepadlo Associates. There was no mention of an increase in fees to the system’s subscribers.
Next they looked at the so-called “state” section of the budget, paid for from liquid fuel subsidies and turnback payments from the state. They boosted allocations for “miscellaneous stone” by $4,000, and pipe by $2,000. The extra for stone would be spent for DSA (Driving Surface Aggregate), a relatively new surfacing material developed by Penn State that tends to last longer on unpaved roads. DSA is best applied with a specialized paving machine, which the township does not have. According to Roadmaster Jim Phelps, it would cost about $29,000 to “pave” the worst half mile of Orphan School Road. Mr. Owens, however, prefers to save money by laying down the DSA with the grader alone.
A large part of recent township budgets covers the “impact fee” revenue distributed by the state from funds collected from oil and gas development under Act 13 of 2012. The Supervisors segregated this part of the budget as a windfall that may not be dependable in the long term. In 2016 the township might expect to receive as much as $350,000 from this source. The money is spent primarily for large road equipment purchases, engineering studies, and to hire contractors to refurbish some of the roads in the worst shape with materials (including DSA) also purchased with these funds.
Since the “state” and “impact fee” money comes from the state, one might ask if the current budget deadlock in Harrisburg will have an effect here in Harford. Unless the battle between the governor and the legislature continues for an extended period, Harford is unlikely to be seriously affected, because the liquid fuel and turnback payments, and the impact fee allocations don’t arrive until the end of the first quarter or later.
The largest section of the Harford budget is of most interest to local taxpayers because most of the revenue comes from property and earned-income taxes. A total of just under $500,000 is expected from all sources next year. There was some wrangling to try to get the township budget to balance, but they finally did it by trimming here and there.
Most important, Supervisor Doug Phelps emphatically stated that tax rates will not increase.
The final numbers will be available when the 2016 budget is offered to the public at the November meeting. The budget will be formally adopted in December, after the public has had a chance to review and comment (rare).
