MR. LENCESKI: Friday and Saturday. MR. BUTLER: Grace Street and : MR. LENCESKI: They're everywhere.  They're aware of it.  MR. NOTARI: Are they supposed to  put leaves on the street or on the curb? I see a lot of people have leaves actually on  the street, piles of leaves.  MR. LENCESKI: On the street's fine.  The curb line, that's perfect.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Anybody else  have anything for Joe?  MAYOR LEGG: Any movement on Billy  Maleski's situation there?  MR. LOPATKA: I have a plan ready.  Ij just have to put the spec together and  we'11 get it out to bid.  MAYOR LEGG: He's been calling me. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Thank you.  Mike Sokolowsk1, code enforcement/zonng officer, anything for the meeting or the  agenda?    4  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25  MR. SOKOLOWSKI: I have nothing  right now.  MR. RUSSEL RINALDI: Any questions  for Michael?  ATTY. RINALDI: One thing.  Preliminary plan approval for the Gilchrist  site.  MR. SOKOLOWSKI: Okay.  ATTY. RINALDI: That came through  planning.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Anyone else? MR. HOOVER: Moosic Road, anything  going on?  MR. SOKOLOWSKI: We have a hearing  coming up the 16th.  MR. HOOVER: Did they submit any  plans yet?  MR. SOKOLOWSKI: No.  MR. FEBBO: He's done nothing at  all?  MR. SOKOLOWSKI: No.  MR. HOOVER: I thought maybe he  would have submitted some type of plan.  MR. SOKOLOWSKI: Nothing. The 16th  at 8:45, the magistrate.    5  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25  MR. FEBBO: Is he working down  there?  MR. SOKOLOWSKI: They see him in and  out. As far as being there or being an open sign, I don't see any. I can't - she has pictures coming in and out, but actually -  MR. FEBBO: He's coming in and out  or trucks coming in an out?  MR. SOKOLOWSKI: Nothing physical at  the site. I mean, if he's working someplace else, I can't stop him from doing jobs  somewhere.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Mike, you're  stating that if he goes someplace else and  does work we can't stop him?  MR. SOKOLOWSKI: I don't see : how  could you?  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: If he's doing  sales out of that back room, then we can  stop him  MR. FEBBO: He can't have  tractor-trailers coming in and out of there dropping supplies off or going out, but he  could work.  MR. HOOVER: Is he getting material    6  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25  in and out?  MS. PIKARSKI: The last time he had  a S shipment was April 16th. So there's  nothing coming in.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Let me ask the  solicitor a question. Bill, if he's going to a job on 555 Smith Street and he has materials brought to that address he can do  the job?  ATTY. RINALDI: Yeah, because he's  got a house he lives in. He's not using the property, sO he can walk in and out of the building, keep his tools there, but he can't  run a business out of it.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: The hearing  is?  MR. SOKOLOWSKI: The 16th. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Any other  questions for Mike? Thanks, Michael.  Dave Lopatka, engineer, anything for  the meeting or the agenda?  MR. LOPATKA: Nothing for the  agenda, no.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Anything for  the meeting?    7  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25  MR. LOPATKA: No.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Anybody have  any questions for David?  MR. NOTARI: Dave, have we been out  to look at 109 Edgewood Drive? I believe Councilman Lettieri at the last meeting asked about a water problem at the base of the driveway at that address that wasn't  there.  MR. LOPATKA: I haven't. I'11 get  out there. I was away.  MR. HOOVER: I have pictures on my  phone that I was sent that states that that was there before they paved the road. The water was there. You can see the :  MR. LOPATKA: I know where it is.  Right next to Miles Park?  MR. NOTARI: No, Edgewood.  Rosemount. So I'm not arguing with you, Jim. The dip might have always been there, but everything else is now funneling to that  dip.  MR. HOOVER: They made it worse.  That's what I told him. The standard answer they give you is it was there before, I'17    8  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25  send you pictures of it. I C don't want to  hear it.  MR. LOPATKA: I'17 get over and take  a look at it.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Any other  questions for Dave? Thanks, David.  The police chief is absent. Fire  Chief Tagliaterra, anything for the meeting  or the agenda?  MR. TAGLIATERRA: Yes. I would like  tosee on the meeting's agenda the approval for us to go ahead and hire the operator  firefighter per diem.  MR. FEBBO: Are we ready for it? MR. TAGLIATERRA: We did all the  legwork. We're just waiting for the okay sO  we can start advertising.  MS. BARTOLETTI: Bill and I already  have that to be on the agenda. We're all  ready for you.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Anyone have  any questions for the fire chief? Thanks,  Chief.  Attorney Rinaldi, anything for the  meeting or the agenda?    9  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25  ATTY. RINALDI: Yes. So there will  be a proposed resolution on the  inter-municipa transfer one way or the other, depending on what council wants to  do.  There will be the resolution for the  stipend for Eagle-McLure Fire Department.  Those are the only two resolutions I  know of right now, and to let you know that our cable consultant has gone through the agreement. He made seven suggestions and he's sending those to RCN for their comments, and hopefully that will be resolved. I shared that with Marylynn. It covers your question, too. That's it.  That's all I have.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Anyone have  any questions for the solicitor?  MR. NOTARI: Bill, I have a question  about the stipend. Will it go to the 01d  Forge Fire Department as :  ATTY. RINALDI: It's only going to  Eagle-McLure because they're doing it under their umbrella. Eagle-McLure, the other  two.    10  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25  MR. NOTARI: I realize they're all  coming together.  MR. TAGLIATERRA: We're working  towards one entity. We already got that  ball rolling.  ATTY. RINALDI: Actually since their  new building was constructed the stipend  goes into that.  MS. BARTOLETTI: And your discussion  for the next meeting is strictly only for the driver, not the usual stipend that they get. So that's above and beyond that.  ATTY. RINALDI: An additional  stipend.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Any other  questions for Bill? Thank you, Bill.  Borough manager, Marylynn, anything  for the meeting or the agenda?  MS. BARTOLETTI: I C don't have  anything for the agenda, but I just wanted to give you a little schedule for the budget. So we'11 probably talk about it a little bit at the next meeting. Then we will do a special meeting on December 5th, which is the night of our actual work    11  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25  session, to pass a tentative budget, and then December 19th we'11 pass the actual budget. We'17 accept it on that night.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Any questions  for Marylynn? Thank you, Marylynn. Before I go down the table I'm going to go to the public. Anyone from the public : we didn't have a sign-in sheet. Anybody to come forward to address us? Nobody wants to speak? We'11 go down the table. Mayor  Legg?  MAYOR LEGG: Thank you. I would  like to put on the agenda Officer Boback is requesting a six month extension. His mom is very ill and I guess a move at this time would be disadvantageous. So I would like that on the agenda, please. That's all.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Councilman  Febbo?  MR. FEBBO: No. Just congratulate  the guys that won. John, Mike. Thank you for taking over these seats and giving me some freedom. It's been a pleasure and I'm glad the election's over and everybody's  back on board here.    12  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Thank you.  Appreciate the comment. Councilman Notari?  MR. NOTARI: Our DPW position that  was advertised, have we received applicants?  Have we done interviews?  MS. BARTOLETTI: Yes. We haven't  done any interviews yet. We were going to possibly next week. So we can interview and  possibly higher next meeting.  MR. NOTARI: We have one spot open.  Correct?  ATTY. RINALDI: I missed one thing.  The planning commission requested : they have one alternate. They've requested if council would increase that to up to three because he's having problems. When we passed the resolution we only did one alternate. So I can put a resolution on with two blanks saying two more. You can go up to three max. So I can put that on the  agenda as well.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Do we have to  re-advertise?  ATTY. RINALDI: You don't have to  advertise.    13  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: For another :- ATTY. RINALDI: For two alternates.  Well, you don't have to fill them yet, but you can combine it all at once. I can hold off and do one resolution when you advertise. That's up to you guys.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Councilman  Butler?  MR. BUTLER: Nothing. I just want  to congratulate Mrs. Shotwell, Mr. Komenski,  Mr. Rinaldi and Mr. Notari.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Appreciate it. MS. AVVISATO: I would just like to  congratulate everyone. It's going to be a pleasure working with you on council. We  will do a good job.  Lou, it was nice working with you.  Ik know it's not your last meeting, but I  wish you the best.  MR. FEBBO: Thank you.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Councilman  Hoover?  MR. HOOVER: Same thing. Ditto,  congratulations to everybody. Lou, don't be  a stranger.    14  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: I have no  items, but I'17 be the broken record again.  congratulations, Mrs. Shotwell, Mr. Komenski, Mr. Notari.  MAYOR LEGG: And yourself.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: I'11 save my  speech for Councilman Febbo on his last meeting. I look forward to working with you  two.  If no members of the public have  anything we will adjourn the work session.  MS. BRAY: I'm Kelly Bray.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: They contacted  me a few weeks ago, can they give us a little presentation about our water collection. You're more than welcome to come forward and begin when you're ready.  MS. BRAY: Good evening and  congratulations to everyone. So I am part of the business development team at Pennsylvania American Water. I started there in March of 2023, and part of my job was to kind of look into what kind of opportunities there were in the surrounding area for possible acquisition and seeing if    15  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25  it's something that boroughs or  municipalities or cities would be interested  in.  So after I started Moosic Borough  did reach out to us about potentially selling their wastewater collection system. So that made me take a look at everything and that Lower Lackawanna Valley Sanitary Authority system. We have been meeting with the different municipalities. Many of them have expressed interest in a potential sale or acquisition. So it's kind of just a meeting, just exploratory, just to have a talk about, you know, what those financial figures would look at to you if you were interested in possibly selling your  collection system.  To really make it worthwhile for Pa.  American Water it would need to be all five of the municipalities. Moosic and all those that flow into the Lower Lackawanna Valley  Sanitary Authority.  So I don't know if any of you are  familiar with fair market value. It is somewhat being attacked now in legislation.    16  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25  So before when Pa. American would come in and acquire a system, a lot of times it would happen because the municipality or the borough needed to sell for financial reasons. It was depreciated cost, sO there wasn't actually that much money given to a municipality when they would acquire their  system.  Now things have changed  substantially. So with fair mark value we are now looking at approximately : before, like, if we came to speak with you  and I believe that someone from Pa. American did speak with the borough maybe, like, two or three years ago, possibly. But back then the figures we were looking at approximately $6,000 a customer. Now we are paying between $12,000 and $14,000 a customer. So it is a substantial amount of money that the borough would receive if they were  interested in it.  I don't know if you have MS4 issues.  Some of the other municipalities that we have spoken with do. So they were thinking that if we were to acquire their collection    17  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25  system they would form a storm water authority to handle their MS4 issues. I know some of the other municipalities that we have met with do not have MS4 issues, sO they were looking at the proceeds as a way of hiring more firefighters, hiring more full time police officers, giving money back  to different community endeavors.  So it's something to consider and  think about. So that's why I just wanted to come in and talk with you. We would hope that maybe we could get all of the  municipalities together sO they could see if it is worthwhile for them. Again, it's just exploratory. It's just a conversation to be  had.  MR. HOOVER: Who are the five  boroughs?  MS. BRAY: In Lackawanna County it's  01d Forge and Duryea, Taylor - Duryea is Luzerne County. 01d Forge, Taylor in Lackawanna County, and Duryea, Dupont and Avoca in Luzerne County. Then Moosic had some parts that Moosic is part of it, but not a necessity to be part of it.    18  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Are you  currently in any other boroughs or  surrounding areas now?  MS. BRAY: Pittston just put out an  RQ, sO we did just bid on that, and maybe some other cities or municipalities in the area have come and spoke with us about them putting out for procurement as well. So it  is something that is happening.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Is there any  information that you brought with you?  MR. BRAY: Yes.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: So we can have  on file with the borough manager with the rest of the vendors sO we can go through it.  MS. BRAY: And something that's  helpful to know, too, is with Pa. American, if they are our current water customer, anyone who qualifies for our H20 program would immediately be put right into this as well. So they wouldn't be paying the full rates or anything like that. That's usually the biggest concern of the municipalities. So the other ones we have spoken with have worked with investors and have found a way    19  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25  through an acquisition that they'd be able to freeze their borough or city taxes for residents for quite some time because it is  a : substantial amount of money.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Anyone have  any questions for Kelly?  MR. FEBBO: When do you plan on  going into effect with this?  MS. BRAY: I mean, it could take  some time. Right now we're just having conversation. I just started in March and five people with all different ideas, sO not tomorrow. And my card and everything is in here, sO if anyone has any questions feel free to e-mail me or reach out. I am in the Scranton office. So I am also actually a  customer of Pa. American.  MS. LENCESKI: Storm water and  sanitary?  MS.  BRAY: Just collection. Pa.  American can't do storm water. It's a regulation. We can do water or wastewater. But we would be in the collection system that flows into Lower Lackawanna Sanitary  Authority.    20  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Anyone else? MR. BRAY: And if you're interested  we have a whole presentation about fair market value and all that to give a more in-depth look. But I just wanted to come and introduce myself and say hello, give you  something to think about.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Appreciate it. ATTY. RINALDI: Are you going to  acquire the authority or just the collection  system?  MR. BRAY: The idea that we had was  that we would acquire - if you just wanted to sell your collection system you'd have to put it out for bid. But if we were to acquire Lower Lackawanna Valley Sanitary Authority, then we could do : like, everybody would feed their system into the Lower Lackawanna and everyone would get their proceeds based upon how many customers they have. Any questions, please feel free  tor reach out.  MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: At this time  the chair would entertain a motion to  adjourn.    21  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25  MR. FEBBO: I'17 make that motion. MR.
