and economic development committee
21:14
report on behalf of chair Daniels on the
21:17
work session of September 17th
21:24
2024 before the community and economic
21:28
development committee um was resolution
21:34
2024 a resolution approving the
21:36
preliminary and final subdivision plan
21:40
for 1529 South 13 Street submitted by
21:44
Jean and Jim Spagnola to separate the
21:48
existing parcel into three individual
21:50
lots for each of the three residences on
21:55
site um Mr Jeffrey night planning
21:59
director was present on behalf of the
22:01
administration to answer any questions
22:03
council members had he provided an
22:06
overview of the uh resolution noting
22:10
that um it was a the goal was to
22:13
subdivide a parcel into three family
22:16
homes um the applicant and another
22:19
representative were present noting that
22:22
this was just a simple plan um no
22:25
demolition was really needed and and
22:28
this uh subdivi division of into three
22:33
family homes would make the properties
22:37
um more viable to sell council members
22:40
asked the qual the following questions
22:43
there was a clarifying question asked
22:47
to the one parcel being divided into
22:50
three separate Lots um and then there
22:55
would be of course three separate
22:56
addresses as a result so that was
22:59
clarification that was needed uh there
23:01
was a question regarding taxes would
23:03
taxes be the same um so yes three owners
23:07
would then have three separate um taxes
23:11
that they're responsible for um once
23:15
approved so next steps uh would taxes be
23:20
attached so that was a follow-up
23:21
question solicitor Grover responded um
23:25
that the Dolphin County Tax Assessor's
23:27
office would have three separate tax
23:29
bases um due to the three separate
23:32
parcels and there is off street
23:36
parking I would recommend uh support of
23:43
2024 um as it seemed pretty
23:46
straightforward held no punches and
23:49
council members seem to um be supportive
23:52
of the measure and the uh division into
23:55
three separate residences so so this
23:59
concludes uh the report for the
24:02
community and economic development
24:04
committee the next report you will hear
24:07
will be shared by chair Ros on behalf of
24:09
the parks recreation and enrichment
24:11
committee on the work session of
24:17
2024 thank you president Bowers good
24:19
evening everyone here and
24:22
online uh resolution 54 of
24:25
2024 is a resolution ratifying the
24:28
professional service agreement with
24:30
stall and Sheffer engineering to provide
24:34
Engineering Services for improvements
24:36
and facility upgrades to the city-owned
24:39
stadium currently known as FNB field was
24:42
discussed director Baker and deputy
24:45
director Deb Reinhardt were present to
24:48
provide insights director Baker
24:50
explained that this resolution this
24:52
ratification is necessary due to time
24:55
constraints and work that has already
24:57
been compl completed notably four large
25:00
potholes at FNB fi required filling
25:04
which was executed by uh stall and sheer
25:09
engineering consequently a payment
25:14
7,985 is needed director Baker also
25:17
highlighted that stall and Sheffer was
25:20
were selected due to their prior
25:22
knowledge of the project and having
25:24
conducted geothermic work during the
25:27
pre-construction phase of FNB fied
25:30
questions raised were why were our
25:33
skilled city workers who regularly
25:34
perform pothole filling not utilized for
25:37
the task why is the cost for filling for
25:40
pothole so high if uh the company could
25:43
have just used the city's equipment and
25:46
why aren't representatives from uing Co
25:48
and Alexandri and Co present at Council

the public record over there and once

they do that I can't tell you how long
33:06
it takes for the parcel numbers to come

34:55
County Regional Planning Commission for

a 2-year term thankk you madam chair if
35:00
I may yes um could I suggest that you
35:03
suspend the rules and vote on this one
35:06
because this is a multi-layer thing and
35:08
we've had each of our engineers in this
35:10
role in the past and the county we can't
35:13
get a vote with the county with the seat
35:14
until they vote so it has to go from
35:18
this board to a vote over there and
35:20
you've just heard from Mr Sor that's
35:22
past week and he's here tonight if you
35:23
want to have any other further questions
35:25
okay I wasn't aware that it was time
35:28
sensitive so no it's not really it's
35:30
that we just won't have a vote until we
35:31
have a seat filled okay you know so the
35:35
city it's good to have a vote when you
35:37
have a vote so okay well I'll entertain
35:40
a motion to suspend the rules for
35:46
discussion so moved thank you is there a
35:49
second second thank you if you wouldn't
36:08
good evening good evening thanks for
36:28
okay just for everyone's
36:30
reference um the Tri County Regional
36:34
Planning Commission was established in
36:36
1966 by the Cumberland dolphin and Perry
36:40
Commissioners um as permitted under the
36:43
Pennsylvania municipalities planning
36:47
tcpc is comprised of 19 members
36:51
including one representative from each
36:53
County Board of Commissioners four
36:56
members from each of the dolin and Perry
36:58
County Planning commissions one at large
37:02
member from dolphin and Perry County to
37:04
represent the entirety of the county and
37:08
the remaining seven members are
37:10
appointed based upon recommendations
37:12
from the local governments of the
37:14
regional planning areas which include
37:18
Harrisburg so Mr ciders our city
37:21
engineer is uh recommended for
37:24
appointment to serve on the Tri County
37:31
term I think we're well aware of I don't
37:35
think we need an introduction at this
37:37
point but I guess what do you think that
37:41
what value do you believe that you will
37:43
be able to bring um to the tri count
37:48
Commission so the Tri County Regional
37:51
Planning Commission kind of uh directs
37:54
federal funds for transportation
37:58
um being the city engineer I have a good
38:01
understanding of what the what the city
38:02
needs I also have 20 years of experience
38:05
in the transportation engineering field
38:08
and I I think that kind
38:11
of kind of sells itself almost where you
38:16
they're shooting for I can kind of
38:19
direct them towards what the city
38:22
needs I've also worked with u penda is
38:27
part of that U not part of the
38:30
commission but they they do work in the
38:32
region with with the
38:34
commission okay well thank you I'll open
38:37
the floor um to my colleagues who may
38:40
have some additional questions for you
38:42

38:45

councilwoman RS any questions um good
38:58
evening Mr cider thank you president
39:00
Bowers um same sentiments I don't really

39:05
need representation on any board we can
39:07
get any representation on especially
39:09
when it deals with um pots of money or
39:12
projects that can come to the city and
39:14
with you being the city engineer I think
39:15
that's pretty straightforward and the
39:17
experience you have and I think the time
39:19
you take with the city already um and
39:22
the well the job you're doing so um no
39:25
no questions okay thank you you vice
39:27
