November 20, 2018

     The regular meeting of the Harford Township Supervisors was called to order in the township office by Vice Chairman Dustin Walker at 7:00 PM. Supervisors Payne and Phelps were present along with Secretary/Treasurer Carolyn Jennings. Visitors present were Ted Brewster, Joe Loomis, Lillie Thomas, and Brian & Valerie Sanauskas.
     The minutes of October 16th were reviewed and accepted on a motion by Walker, second by Payne. Motion carried by three yes votes. The bill list was approved as printed on a motion by Walker, second by Phelps. Motion carried by three yes votes. The treasurer's report was filed for audit.

PUBLIC COMMENTS: None

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT: There was nothing to report.

ROAD REPORT:
     No bids were received for snowplowing. The guiderail material has been delivered to the township and should be installed shortly. A boom mower is here on tryout as the guys are looking to replace the old one that has been constantly breaking down. A motion was made by Payne, second by Phelps to advertise for bids on a newer model boom mower. Motion carried by three yes votes. A motion was made by Phelps, second by Payne to list the existing boom mower and tractor for sale on the Municibid website with a deadline of December 31. Motion carried by three yes votes.
     Supervisor Phelps has looked into upgrading the township's fuel system because of recommendations that were made by the auditors for better accountability and record keeping. To put in a card reader would require new pumps to be installed and the changeover for one system could cost around $20,000. The other option would be to discontinue fuel deliveries at the township and purchase fuel at the local truck stops. Cards would be used for each township vehicle to track the amount used and a report can be filed at the end of the year to be reimbursed for taxes paid. A motion was made by Phelps, second by Payne to discontinue fuel deliveries to the township and use up what is here before beginning purchases at the truck stops. Motion carried by three yes votes. Arrangements will be made at a later date to remove the fuel tanks.
     Supervisor Phelps gave updates on the grant projects: the pipe for Tyler Lake Road has been delivered which will be installed when the weather allows and 2A material is being added to make a better driving surface on Oliver Road. He is also putting together a plan to improve a section of Monument Lane. The township can use leftover material and some local contractors have volunteered trucks and equipment with operators that can be used on a Saturday. This will be the first step in making that area nicer for visitors.
     The heavy rain events experienced this year have caused a buildup of gravel and woody debris in a stream by School St. that needs be cleaned out. Supervisor Phelps has checked with DEP to see if the work would require a permit and has gotten a quote of $800 from Estabrook Excavating to do the project. Supervisor Walker suggested a second stream area by the end of School St. that needs to be cleaned out as well. A motion was made by Phelps, second by Payne to have Estabrook Excavating clean out both these stream areas within the legal parameters of not needing a permit up to a cost $1600. Motion carried by three yes votes.
     Supervisor Payne reported that there were a few problems getting the roads plowed during the first snow storm with a new road crew. One of the problems is having a safe turnaround area on Cobb Road. A plan needs to be made to address the wet spots, remove some trees, and put fill in to prepare the area.

OLD BUSINESS:
     The parks & rec committee is still on hold waiting for more information. The sponsor letter for the creek bank stabilization will be handled by the water authority. The material has come in for the storm damage repairs to the township building and the outside electrical upgrades will be completed in a couple of weeks.

NEW BUSINESS:
     A motion was made by Payne, second by Phelps to elect Supervisor Walker as Chairman of the Board of the Supervisors. Motion carried by two yes votes, Walker abstained. A motion was made by Walker, second by Payne to elect Supervisor Phelps as Vice-Chairman of the Board of Supervisors and for Supervisor Payne to continue as Road Superintendent.

     A motion was made by Walker, second by Payne to adopt Resolution #6-18, Susquehanna County Emergency Operations Plan. Motion carried by three yes votes.

     A motion was made by Walker, second by Phelps to advertise that the 2019 Budget is available for public inspection. Motion carried by three yes votes. A motion was made by Phelps, second by Payne to advertise for bids for tree trimming services next year. Motion carried by three yes votes. There was some discussion about making changes to remodel the township office and add a rear exit. Contractors will be consulted as to plans and costs for this project.

SEWER:
     An email was received from JHA Companies about changing lab services from Seewald to Fairway as their lower prices for testing would save around $800 a year. A motion was made by Walker, second by Phelps to accept this recommendation. Motion carried by three yes votes. A meeting will be set up to get more information about the plant upgrade project.

PUBLIC COMMENTS:
     Brian Sanauskas asked if the gas company was going to do any more work on Pennay Hill Road. Supervisor Phelps read a statement to recommend the township should have three full-time employees. Supervisor Walker asked to change the date of the December meeting as he has a schedule conflict. A motion was made by Walker, second by Phelps to hold the meeting on Tuesday, December 11, 2018 at 7 PM. Motion carried by three yes votes.

     An executive session will be held after the meeting to discuss personnel matters. A motion was made by Walker and seconded by Payne to adjourn the meeting at 8:13 PM.

A short-term fix will be to put in a concrete slab so the road can be opened during the winter months. The project to replace the pipe with a new steel one and to extend the outlet further will be bid in March and then the awarded contractor can fix it over the summer months.
     There were several questions from the audience about road damages from flooding that were addressed by the representatives.

PUBLIC COMMENTS:
     Jim Tuttle spoke to the supervisors about the health problems his father is experiencing being made worse by noise from the Williams compressor station on Miller Road.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT:
     There was nothing to report.

     Supervisor Payne reported that the road crew has been fixing potholes in Section 1.
     One bid was received for a used tandem axle dump truck from Burr Truck & Trailer Sales. The truck is a 2010 Volvo with plow and spreader for a price of $95,000. A motion was made by Payne, second by Phelps to accept this bid. Motion carried by three yes votes.

The township would need to sign a sponsor letter pledging to be responsible to keep up the results of the work after it is completed. The supervisors tabled the matter to allow the township solicitor to review the paperwork.
     An estimate to fix the lighting problems at the township building was received from Perucki Electrical Service.

PUBLIC COMMENTS:
     There were some questions on the bill list and treasurer's report. Dale Ferger had a problem with the amounts of the estimates for building repairs being put in the paper before going out for bids.

SEWER:
     Joe Hunt and Travis Long from JHA Companies were present to give an update on the sewer plant upgrade project with USDA. They are working on a re-scope of the project to include necessary DEP requirements and still fit into the overall budget with the goal of having a more efficient system with lower maintenance costs.

The NPDES permit renewal package is ready to sign and send to DEP for review.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT:
     Supervisor Walker reported that a meeting was held in Montrose to go over the process for individual and public assessments. PEMA and FEMA representatives were in the county to visit the hardest hit areas. More information will be collected if a determination is made for assistance.
     Jake Rosen explained that the recent flooding event caused the water main that goes through Leslie Creek to be uncovered and exposed to possible damage. The pipe needs to be covered and the banks stabilized so that the town doesn't lose its water. He has had trouble getting someone from DEP out to check the problem and issue a permit for the repairs. The water authority will also need help to pay the high repair costs.

ROAD REPORT:
     Supervisor Payne reported that flood damages are mostly fixed and all roads are now open. The guys are finishing roadwork in Section One by grading on nice days and ditching on rainy days. He would like to purchase a used tandem axle dump truck as the township's Mack trucks are in poor condition and may not pass another inspection. A motion was made by Payne, second by Walker to advertise for bids on a used tandem axle truck set up for plowing and cindering. Motion carried by two yes votes.
     Supervisor Walker has concerns about plowing for the winter and feels a backup plan should be in place. A motion was made by Walker, second by Payne to advertise for prices on outside snowplow trucks to be used if needed. Motion carried by two yes votes.

     The request by Mountain View School District for relief of permit fees was discussed again. After checking with the code enforcement officer, it appears the actual costs for each permit will be around $1500 and another $1000 will be held for possible additional costs, with the unused residual amount around $19,000. A motion was made by Walker, second by Payne to waive the residual amount on both permits and only collect the necessary cost amount. Motion carried by two yes votes.
     The only bid received for repairs to the ballfield buildings and township building was from Garvin Construction. The price for the ballfield buildings is $7,546 and the price for the township building is $57,964. The ballfield buildings will be repaired for the amount the insurance company gave and upgraded to a metal roof for free and done in blue and orange for the school colors. The township building repair will end up being higher than the insurance amount because of several items that were missed. They will negotiate to get that extra amount from the insurance company, but if not, the township will be not charged for it. A motion was made by Walker, second by Payne to accept the bid for the township building and wait to see about the ballfield repairs. Motion carried by two yes votes.

Maureen Warren asked for a correction to be made in the paper that the DSA problem on Lower Podunk Road was from poor material, not from the contractor.

A motion was made by Walker and seconded by Payne to adjourn the meeting at 8:18 PM.

They also reviewed subdivisions for Napierkowski and Rhodes and had no objections to either one.
     The Mountain View School District has submitted a letter requesting relief from the permit fees being charged for the boiler upgrades at both buildings. The high cost of the project caused a large increase in fees being charged over and above what is necessary to issue the permit. The supervisors agreed to discuss this with our code enforcement officer and waive any residual fees to help save the school district money for its project.

SEWER:
     A request was made by JHA to purchase a spare grinder pump to have on hand in case a problem occurs that cannot be excavated right away. A motion was made by Walker, second by Payne to table the request for now. Motion carried by two yes votes.

Visitors present were Ted Brewster, Maureen Warren, Dale Ferger, Joseph Cowan, Donna Schulze, Dottie Hagenbuch, Lillie Thomas, Jim Phelps, Robert Supancik, Craig Stout, Kathy Oakley, Connie Breese, Bob DeLuca, and Brian Goldsack of Edward Jones Financial.
      The minutes of March 20th were reviewed and accepted on a motion by Furney, second by Walker. Motion carried by three yes votes. The bill list was approved as printed on a motion by Furney, second by Walker. Motion carried by three yes votes. The treasurer's report was filed for audit.

PUBLIC COMMENTS:
     Lillie Thomas asked for stone not to be put on Ed Allen Road this year as too much of it gets pushed off to the side and has to be raked up. Brian Goldsack was available to discuss interest rates on investing township CD funds.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT:
     There was nothing to report.

AUDITORS:
     The elected auditors were present to give their report. They examined the 2017 records and found them to be in order. Some findings for further action were noted: spending in excess of budgeted amounts with no corresponding resolutions, lack of records for vehicle fuel use, no employee manual exists with clearly defined policies, someone other than the secretary/treasurer should be reconciling bank statements, and supervisors should recuse themselves from voting on matters that concern them personally or when a conflict of interest could be perceived.

ROAD REPORT:
     The supervisors met with representatives from Cabot, DEP, and the Conservation District to address the mud runoff and ditch problems on Beaver Meadow Road down to the Plank Road/SR 11 intersection. These issues have now been corrected.
     DTE Energy will be contacted about grading Stephens Road as they have been heavily using it for their booster pad construction. Dust complaints have been made to DEP about Stephens Road and the township will be checking it and spraying it on a regular schedule.
      The supervisors have looked at prices to rent/lease a roller from CAT, John Deere, and Medico. The prices from Medico are quite a bit less than the other two. Major repairs would be covered under warranty and regular maintenance issues would be the township’s responsibility. More discussion is needed before a decision is made.

OLD BUSINESS:
     The cinder bid that was tabled last month was discussed again. Kiefer Trucking had been contacted and will not be able to supply cinders this year as they have had trouble getting them. The two bids received were from Romanski Trucking - $20.75 per yard and Brown Farms Enterprises - $24.75 per yard. A motion was made by Payne, second by Walker to accept both bids to use as needed. Motion carried by three yes votes.

NEW BUSINESS:
     The supervisors reviewed a driveway permit for Bryan Wech on Plank Road and had no objections. They also approved an assessment permit for Keith Baker on SR 547 for a storage building.
     Cleanup days were planned for the week of June 4th and the cost will stay at $60/load.
      Robert Supancik thanked the supervisors for correcting the recent water problems at the baseball field. He and Craig Stout explained that they have been thinking about forming a parks & rec committee in the hopes of getting grants to make the area more usable for everyone in the community, not just the kids.

SEWER:
     The five-year NPDES permit for stream discharge is coming due for renewal. JHA Companies submitted a proposal and cost estimate for completing all the necessary forms and paperwork. A motion was made by Furney, second by Walker to accept this proposal. Motion carried by three yes votes.

PUBLIC COMMENTS:
     Lillie Thomas asked about a broken culvert on the end of Upper Podunk Road that has been in need of repair.
Dale Ferger thanked Supervisor Walker for getting stone put on a problem spot on Lower Podunk Road.

     A motion was made by Furney and seconded by Walker to adjourn the meeting at 7:45 PM.

One sample was taken and analyzed with more samples to follow so that the quarry and/or the tester can be held responsible to have the problem fixed at no charge to the township.
     A blocked pipe on Stearns Road was checked by the game commission for beaver activity, which was not present, so the pipe can be cleared. Also, Beaver Meadow Road is being resurfaced by the gas company as they will be using it for the upcoming fracking of the Reynen pad.
     The supervisors are still looking into whether to rent/lease or buy a roller to use this summer. The costs of each option will be further analyzed. There was some discussion among the audience about what the road crew has been doing.

Black Cinders:
     Romanski Trucking - $20.75 per yard

Opinions were mixed with some in favor of partial reimbursement and others against. The supervisors declined the request at this time.

NEW BUSINESS:
     Supervisor Walker brought up information he found about Express Employment Professionals out of Binghamton. They could provide CDL drivers and equipment operators to work for the township as needed. The township would not have to provide benefits, share in the payroll taxes, or pay workers comp or unemployment for these workers. There is no fee to sign up for this service or penalty for nonuse. After some discussion about the pros and cons of this arrangement, a motion was made by Furney, second by Walker to pass Resolution #2-18 accepting a yearly contract with Express. Motion carried by two yes votes, Payne opposed as he felt the proposal should be looked into further before the township agreed to it.

PUBLIC COMMENTS:
     There were some heated exchanges about equipment getting stuck during the recent snowstorms and some questions about the type of tools the township is purchasing. The heavy usage of township roads by the gas companies and what is being done to fix them was also discussed.

     Monica Miller brought to the supervisors' attention problems with parking on Mill St. in Kingsley by Jenny Leigh's restaurant customers. People are parking on both sides of the street and in their yard and driveway. Different ideas were discussed, but there is no easy solution.

PUBLIC COMMENTS:

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT:
     There was nothing to report.

ROAD REPORT:
     Roads are being plowed and cindered as needed.

OLD BUSINESS:
     A motion was made by Furney, second by Walker to contract with Frank Payne Excavating retroactive to December 1, 2017 for snowplowing and cindering. Motion carried by two yes votes; Payne opposed as he felt the township road crew should handle it.
     Solicitor Hailstone gave an update on the sewer project. USDA has approved changing our engineer to Joe Hunt and he will be working on obtaining the permit from DEP.
     Solicitor Hailstone also has checked into the court case on the use of gas royalty money that Jake Rosen brought up at last month's meeting. The way the state trust funds had been set up had regulations that royalties received from the land were only to be used for environmental purposes. There is nothing in the law that directly applies to a township's use of royalty money. According to the township code and PSATS, the millings the township received last year do not have to be entered into the township's budget.

     Jake Rosen stated that all local governments are considered part of the commonwealth. He also feels that while it may not be required to record contributions, it should be done to accurately keep track of costs.

     A motion was made by Furney and seconded by Walker to adjourn the meeting at 7:57 PM.
