RUSSELL RINALDI: Good evening, everyone. I'd like to call the meeting to order with the Pledge of Allegiance. (The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.) MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Ro17 call, please. MS. BARTOLETTI: Councilwoman Avvisato is absent. Councilman Butler? MR. BUTLER: Here. MS. BARTOLETTI: Councilman Febbo is absent. Councilman Hoover? MR. HOOVER: Here. MS. BARTOLETTI: Councilman Lettieri? MR. LETTIERI: Here. MS. BARTOLETTI: Councilman Notari? MR. NOTARI: Present. MS. BARTOLETTI: Councilman Rinaldi? MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Here. Once again, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 01d Forge Borough work session. Tonight is Tuesday, September 6, 2022. The purpose of our meeting tonight is to set our agenda for our regular meeting, which would be Tuesday, 3 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 September 27th. We'11 go to our department heads, go down our table, see if anyone has anything for the agenda. We'17 hear from the public, if anyone would like to sign in. With that being said, we'1l go to our engineer's report. Dave, anything for the agenda coming up? MR. LOPATKA: So a couple things going on. I did receive two new bids on Apache Drive. One was for $23,500, the other one was $31,000. So with those numbers being what they are it would have to go out to bid because you're over the $18,900, whatever you're allowed without bidding. We had previous numbers but we kind of scaled it back. The numbers still came in above what your threshold is for bidding. I'm not sure how you want to handle that. MR. NOTARI: I kind of discussed it al little bit before we started, before you got here. I'd like to discuss it with Joe to see if he's been keeping an eye on it. MR. LOPATKA: They were. 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. NOTARI: Today I happened to get back to town from work when it was kind of raining hard, so I went over there and sat for five minutes and I didn't see any water going over the lip of the driveway. I'm leery : MR. BUTLER: The water was over the other day. Chris Hart was down there taking videos. He saw it, too. MR. NOTARI: That makes me feel better because what I saw today didn't warrant spending all that money. MR. BUTLER: When it pours for ten minutes, that's when the water comes. MR. LOPATKA: Probably those really heavy, intense storms where you get an inch in 15 minutes. When it rains like it rained the last day and a half, just a steady rain, you're probably not going to see it. It's the high intensity when you probably see it. MR. BUTLER: She had to run out with sand bags again. MR. NOTARI: That could be everywhere in town. MR. BUTLER: Chris Hart goes, you 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 know, you're right. I ( don't know why he was there taking video but he was. MS. BARTOLETTI: When did it happen? MR. BUTLER: Last week. Thursday, Wednesday. Whenever we got that pouring rain. MR. LOPATKA: The big rain. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: It has to be the big shots because I was there, too, and you could see the water coming across the street, see the waves, but I didn't see anything going over. But again, that was a steady rain. I wasn't there when it was a real downpour. MR. LOPATKA: The bottom line is that just bidding it, trying to get something under the number, it's not coming under the number you guys were allowed to just get quotes on. It's over that threshold and you have to bid it. MR. NOTARI: Should we put it on the agenda, put it out for bid? MR. HOOVER: I think we should. MR. LOPATKA: I can get it ready pretty quick. Other than that, the bids for 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 Dunn Avenue are coming back on Thursday, sO I'11 have that for the meeting. MR. HOOVER: We approved it last meeting. MR. LOPATKA: You approved it to go out to bid. We didn't get the bids back. So it's out to bid and the bids will come back. We had a prebid meeting last week and the bids are due Thursday. Hickory Street, I sent them all the contract documents, I got them back. I did send them to Marylynn with the agreement, sO it needs to be signed. I have copies of it with Pioneer. You guys approved that at the last meting. I got contract documents out to them, they signed everything and sent it back to me. Once you guys sign it you can send them a notice of receipt. That's all that I have. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Anybody have any questions for Dave? MR. NOTARI: It just seems like the fix at the Smith Street cemetery, it seems like it's working. Yesterday there wasn't any water in the cemetery, today there was, 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 but again, it didn't look like it was coming from the street. MR. LOPATKA: Regardless, at least now it's going to drain. It might sit there for a little bit, but now it will drain. MR. NOTARI: Inside the cemetery it will eventually drain. MR. LOPATKA: It's all connected now. It's going the opposite way. If it got up high enough it would funnel out into the road. If their manhole filled all the way up : see, that pipe is full, the one going into the cemetery. They blocked that off. So anything that does accumulate on the road, it's going to drain eventually. It's going to take a little time, depending on the storm. MR. NOTARI: It was returning to the drain. It seems like it's working. MR. LOPATKA: They're going to have to deal with their own problems interior-wise. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Anyone else? MR. HOOVER: We sent out the paving list, Dave. 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 MR. LOPATKA: I - don't have it but I remember. MR. HOOVER: We went through it all. I'd like people to look at it, maybe pick out the worst eight streets, nine streets that we have. I don't know if we're going to be able to do them all. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: When do you want to do these by? MR. HOOVER: There's 14 streets on here. I'd like to get it ready for early next year, get it out for bid during the winter months. MR. LOPATKA: You want to put it out early. MR. HOOVER: See what happens. But I'd like to get a paving program started back up. When was the last time we did it, two years ago? MR. NOTARI: Yeah. Probably longer. MS. BARTOLETTI: '19. MR. HOOVER: I assume we have about a million. MS. BARTOLETTI: We'11 probably have $900,000. 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 MR. HOOVER: I'm going to say seven or eight out of the 14, half of them, and we'11 see where we're at money wise, the money situation. Then maybe after that we'17 add a couple more streets. MR. LOPATKA: We did do some estimates, rough estimates, I think. I C do have a paving bid from this year that I just did for Dunmore. Those numbers are probably pretty accurate. Probably came down some with oil coming down. I can probably take the numbers that we had, apply the numbers that we just got in this recent bid. It's more accurate. MR. HOOVER: We'11 get that going. That's going to take a couple months to do. That's all. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Anyone else for Dave? Dave, anything else? MR. LOPATKA: I do not. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Okay. Chief Dubernas is absent, our DPW manager, Joe Lenceski, is absent, and our zoning code enforcement officer, Chris Hart, is absent. So we're going to go to our solicitor. 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 Attorney Rinaldi, anything for the agenda? ATTY. RINALDI: Maybe. So Dave did prepare plans for the pit subdivision I sent over to the school district solicitor. So maybe we can get them to approve that and we can get their signatures on the plan. MR. LOPATKA: Let me know. If they're okay with everything, then I can get it to Chris. ATTY. RINALDI: I forwarded them and If followed with an e-mail and I haven't heard back yet. When do they meet? MR. LOPATKA: I think the first Monday of the month. ATTY. RINALDI: So that could come on the agenda if we got it to planning and it was all right. Idid follow up on Fallon Street. I went to the Central Court hearing, and the defendant woman that resides there did not appear. I thought they gave her a continuance because she called in and said she broke down in Pittston, but they may have actually issued a warrant. The chief was going to double-check that. If they get 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 a warrant for her they'11 pick her up and throw her in jail and wait for the hearing to be reschedule. Ialso spoke to the mortgage company attorney. They filed : the foreclosure action wasn't responded to sO they're moving forward to foreclose. That probably would go to sheriff's sale probably next year at the earliest. Maybe February. I told them everything that was going on with the property. They have inspector services that go out, check it out, board it up, make sure it's clean. I told them about the grass growing. Evidently the guy who lives there now has a huge dog. Their people won't mess with that. But let's see what happens. I'11 follow up. That's all I can think of. MR. LOPATKA: It's the second Monday. ATTY. RINALDI: We'71 need their signatures on the one set and we're on the other set. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Anybody have any questions for the solicitor? Thanks, Bill. 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 Bill Stull, assistant fire chief, anything to report or for the agenda? MR. STULL: I have nothing. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Anybody have any questions for the assistant fire chief? MAYOR LEGG: Building's looking good. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Thanks, Bill. Marylynn, borough manager, anything for the agenda? MS. BARTOLETTI: For the next meeting we'17 vote on the minimum municipal obligation for the police pension and for the administrative pension. The MMOs. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Anything else? MS. BARTOLETTI: No. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Anybody have any questions for the borough manager? MR. NOTARI: Would you ask Joe Lenceski to call PPL and see what their plans are for Smith Street and Lincoln Street. The power went out last Saturday for approximately eight hours. They ran a line to another box. The line is running across Smith Street, through three yards 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 onto Lincoln. I thought it was going to be a weekend, temporary fix. It's been there since two Saturdays ago. So August 27th. I couldn't get anywhere today when I called. was on the phone for two hours. MR. HOOVER: Let Joe know Sibley Avenue, the other side of the street where you go down to the borough garage, the culvert, about 50 or 60 feet that looks about two feet deep, three feet deep from all the runoff. Tell PennDOT put some cones there or something. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Anyone else have anything for Marylynn? MR. NOTARI: We order a clock yet for the borough building? MS. BARTOLETTI: No. MR. NOTARI: Are we going to? MS. BARTOLETTI: Yeah, it's on the list. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: We'11 go down the table, see if any members have anything. Mayor Legg? MAYOR LEGG: I have a couple things. Number one, I mentioned I'd like to put on 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 the calendar for our next meeting designating that portion of Main Street from Sussex Street to Mary Street. The counselor was right last week but Dale and I were right also. The gentleman Glynn Lunny was born in the house where Tony Turquato's business is now located, and I don't know how old he was but they moved from there down to Goose Alley. So the counselor was right. But we figured this is the core of town. This is the center of town with the borough building. Again, we just want to get a little sign underneath the street sign and designate it as Glynn Lunny Way. There's no cost to the borough. It's already been taken care of. So I'd Tike that to be voted on next week. ATTY. RINALDI: You'1l give me the directions for that. I'11 just reach out to you. MAYOR LEGG: I think there's seven street signs, sO we will have seven signs. Number two, is there anything we can do about the alley behind Doctor Dunay's 15 office? I've been hammered by a half a dozen people. A lot of them have garages and carports and they have access to that road. It's a mess. I know we have streets that need to be done which takes precedent, but is there anything we can do? There's 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 such a crown in the road. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: You can see the wheel tracks going through. MAYOR LEGG: The guy that operated that thing that lays the macadam when they were where doing the new place, the sewer authority, he got stuck. There was such a crown he got stuck there. They had to get him towed out of there. It's paved, but it's so many holes and the crown is terrible. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: It's sO bad that there's ruts in the pavement. I don't know how it got like that. MAYOR LEGG: It's terrible. MR. NOTARI: Just that block? MAYOR LEGG: The one down by Joe Scacia down to Dooley's it's not that bad. So I don't know if anything can be done. I 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 know the roads take precedent over an alley, but if something can be done it would be great. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Dave, could we at least send you there, take a look at it? MR. LOPATKA: Sure. MAYOR LEGG: Last thing. Do we have any idea when we're going to have a rededication? I know you're busy. October? November? MS. BARTOLETTI: I'd like to set a date. I was waiting for more: of the furniture and stuff like that to come in, but at this point it's getting later. MAYOR LEGG: Several people have asked me. MR. HOOVER: Dave, it's between Marion and Pann Court. Behind Dooley's, behind the sewer authority, Doctor Dunay's office. MAYOR LEGG: I think Pann Court runs perpendicular to where I'm talking about. That's all I have. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Councilman Lettieri? 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 MR. LETTIERI: No, I'm fine. MR. NOTARI: Just a question. I talked about it a little before we started. We have an ordinance on the books about residents dumping water onto the street, and IK know we had talked about sending a letter -- I don't know if we ever did -- to the residents of Rosemount to have that corrected. MS. BARTOLETTI: I think Chris is working on that. ATTY. RINALDI: I drafted it. I. think it was in my report the last few times saying it was approved. MR. NOTARI: I'm curious to think what everybody else thinks, if we should send it to everybody in town and not just the residents of Rosemount because I feel we have a lot of water problems. I noticed today there was water being dumped out on the street on Madison. So I wonder if there are other places in town that are doing the same that should not be doing that. MR. BUTLER: There's some in Forge Estates. 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. HOOVER: You'17 find there's going to be a lot of them. MR. NOTARI: I really think, with the way things are going in terms of waste water and the requirements that have been put forth in terms of the Chesapeake Bay situation, at some point we have to separate. But maybe to save some money on that separation you dump the water back into your yard instead of dumping it onto the street. I think we need to think about that a little bit and see if that's something we want to ask our residents to do. MS. BARTOLETTI: How are we going to expect to fix the ones like Andy just said, that go through and pop out through the : MR. NOTARI: They can cut their rain gutters and just put a little spout onto the grass instead of out to the street. Something we need to think about. It's also an ordinance. If it's an ordinance on the books we can't ask one section of town to follow it and then another person not to follow it. MR. RUSSEL RINALDI: I agree. 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 MR. NOTARI: Let's think about it. MR. LOPATKA: That was a sewer authority mandate for Scranton, Dunmore because of that. MR. NOTARI: That's all I have. MR. BUTLER: They should use perforated pipe. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Councilman Butler, anything for the meeting? MR. BUTLER: Couple people called me on the shed on Kohler. What's going on with that? MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: We would need Chris for that. Marylynn, did you hear anything about the shed on Kohler? MS. BARTOLETTI: No. MR. BUTLER: The lady called me again about those two houses on Race Street that are abandoned, that animals are living in. - The last time I brought this up there was nothing we could do. They paid the taxes. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Down off of Milwaukee Avenue. MR. BUTLER: The lady lives right 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 between two abandoned houses. ATTY. RINALDI: Are they boarded up? MR. BUTLER: No. MR. NOTARI: They're connected, though, aren't they? MR. BUTLER: No. They're on the same lot. The house in front is abandoned, she lives in the middle house, and then there's another house behind her right at the bottom of the bank. There's three houses. There's garbage on the porch. It's a circus down there. The water company shut off the one. MR. NOTARI: She lives in the back? MR. BUTLER: She lives in the middle house. MR. NOTARI: And they're all the same address? MR. BUTLER: Yes. One porch has garbage stacked about six foot high. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: So the house right on Race. She lives behind that. MR. BUTLER: She told me the owners are Guy Ferri. The other one is the guy that has the towing thing up by Butler 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 Street. ATTY. RINALDI: There's a property that : Andrew Pisko lives right on the road. Nobody lives in that property? MR. BUTLER: No. ATTY. RINALDI: Behind that, Vivian Bonowich. That's another property. There's two houses on that property. ATTY. RINALDI: Maybe we can have Chris go down. If there's no water he can condemn it. The one up front, Pisko, is it broken windows? MR. NOTARI: They need a roof. The back porch is all rotted. ATTY. RINALDI: If there's something dangerous we can get them to fix it and repair it. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Send Chris down there. ATTY. RINALDI: Yeah, somebody that can see what's going on, see what they look like. Certainly the one with no water in the back, he can condemn that one. MR. HOOVER: The one in the front looks like the roof is falling apart. 22 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. BUTLER: They have bed sheets on the windows. MR. NOTARI: What happens if we are able to condemn the house? Then what? ATTY. RINALDI: Well, nobody can live there. Then you can go under our dangerous structure ordinance if it's going to fall on them. But if it's not going to fall on somebody we have to look at it, see what we can do. MR. NOTARI: Right. We can't just condemn it and go in and knock it down. ATTY. RINALDI: No. Every time we do that we end up sitting there with a lien for umpteen years. MR. NOTARI: Can we get the county to do that, the land bank? ATTY. RINALDI: They have to get the property. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Okay. Bill, we can call Chris. ATTY. RINALDI: Well, investigate it together. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: If you want to let her know. 23 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. BUTLER: Okay. Last : and I didn't know anything about this. She said it's been going on for awhile. It's Doreen Graziano. That house up on Corcoran. MS. BARTOLETTI: That's been going on for a while. She's suing a couple people now. The people who own the property are in a - nursing home. She calls constantly, screaming at Chris. Chris is trying to figure out what to do. ATTY. RINALDI: There's nothing wrong with the house other than grass had to be cut, sO they sent somebody to cut it. So the house now, last I heard they turned it over to the bank. They're in a nursing home. MR. NOTARI: My understanding is they are trying to sell the house. ATTY. RINALDI: Chris went up and cited them. Other than cutting the grass and cleaning it up there's no reason to condemn the house. There no broken windows. MR. BUTLER: She had me on the phone for an hour. She talked to Chris. Chris told her that he had this down at the 24 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 magistrate. ATTY. RINALDI: They had to personally serve the people. MR. BUTLER: She called the magistrate's office. She knows the both girls that work in there. Neither one said they talked to Chris. ATTY. RINALDI: I talked to the magistrate and the mail came back. When you file a complaint it gets mailed to the person. If it comes back, then the next step is they try to get an address where they can physically serve them. So the summons gets sent by mail. By law you have to send it that way. When it comes back undeliverable they send it out certified, see if it gets forwarded. If not, you know the people aren't there where they live, you can have a constable serve it. So it's going through the process. The complaint was filed. You have to get service on people so they know there's a court date. Once they get notice, if they don't show up for the court date, then a fine gets imposed. If they don't show, 25 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 here's the certified letter that they received the notice. They're not here? They get fined. They can keep fining them. You can't take somebody's house just because they don't cut the grass. MAYOR LEGG: And she knows that stuff. MR. BUTLER: Somebody has to take care of the property. Cats living there, too. ATTY. RINALDI: Well, how are they getting into the house? MR. BUTLER: There's political signs underneath the back porch. ATTY. RINALDI: Unless it changed in the last four weeks : MR. BUTLER: If the bushes keep growing the way they're growing you're not going to see the house from the street no more. ATTY. RINALDI: If they're in a nursing home they're not going to do it. He cited them anyway. See what the magistrate says. He can order a fine. That's all he can really do. 26 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: Is this the house on the left? MR. BUTLER: House to her right. If you're looking at her house it's to the left. Big T on the garage. They've been cited, the paperwork is done at the magistrate, and they're in the process of being served. I think the last time I talked to him they finally did get served. So when there's a hearing date Chris is going to let her know, if she wants to come. MR. NOTARI: I believe there is also a problem with a retaining wall in the back of the house. I'm not sure if it's this property or the property next to it. That's a different story. She doesn't have any problem with the people across the street with all garbage in their yard? MR. RUSSEL RINALDI: Bill, this is one for Chris as well? ATTY. RINALDI: Yes. If they signed it over to the bank, get a copy of the deed, let the bank take care of it. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Councilman Hoover? 27 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. HOOVER: We had a safety meeting last week. The fire department requested a safety meeting last week. Tagliaterra was there, Marylynn was there, I was there, Michelle, and Lou Febbo was there. We discussed what it takes to run the volunteer fire department in regards to money, in regards to volunteers, and some of the numbers they had I was amazed. I'17 pass it around. The 07d Forge Fire Department current roster, there's 36 active members, 24 are active. Their apparatus, one is 24 years old, one is 20 years old, 16 years old, 37 years old. A engine cost between $600,000 and $750,000, a new ladder is well over a million. But some of these numbers, I was amazed at how a volunteer fire department can actually run. They're asking council and the safety committee about maybe coming up with some kind of a fire tax. I guess that would be a one percent or whatever we choose fire tax throughout the borough for the volunteer fire department. I mean, there's going to 28 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 come a time where we have to really bite the bullet here. There's going to come a time when the volunteers are going to be not volunteers anymore. You're going to end up doing it little by little by little because it's not going in the other direction. Once - I'm going to say off the top of my head because I was a volunteer fireman years ago. Top of my head, the top 15 or 16 guys, when they get to that age you don't want to do it anymore. We're going to be close to that and who's going to do it for us? There' a lot of young kids that are active, but not enough of them. So he mentioned the fire tax, and that piece of paper, when you Took at it those numbers are kind of staggering, how a fire department can run. They do fund drives. We discussed the fund drives that they have, the money that the borough gives them. But it's going to come a time where we are going to have to do something. Plant the seed. In the future we are going to have to do something and maybe we should start it now before we get to that point 29 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 where we have to do something. Like I said, they run all kind of bingos and things like that and they get a lot of money from that. They made $4,000, I believe, from the cornhole tournament. MR. STULL: No, 82. MR. HOOVER: I think we have to start looking at it in the future. It's not going to make volunteers come, but it's going to -- I wish it would. But you're going to end up looking at maybe paying firemen eventually to-come out to fires. I don't know if we can do that. But it's going to eventually come down to that and you're going to start paying some people to do it. But we had a good conversation for about an hour and I was glad that they came and let us know about it now rather than waiting. MR. NOTARI: Are we allowed to dedicate a one-mill or two-mill as part of our tax to fire like they do in the county with the arts and culture tax, the library tax? 30 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. STULL: The fund drive the hose and engine did last year, 2021 : and I didn't think it was this bad at all -- 3,310 residents were sent fliers for their fund drive. Out of that we had 416 responses. Out of the businesses, of 207, 20 of them responded. So out of 3,535 total fund drive envelopes that were sent out they got back 437. Out of that they got an income of $15,000. Out of that $15,000 it was, like, $3,600 to pay for. the service to have it done. So that was a first time mailing, that was a second time mailing on theirs. So only 12.36 percent of our population gave back to the fire department. That is one reason why we want to do a fire tax, because then everybody's on an equal playing field. Everybody's getting it. MR. NOTARI: So you raised $15,000, but $3,600 went to the company that mailed it. MR. STULL: Right. You could do that yourself. 31 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: If there was a one-mill fire tax would you still do the donation drive? MR. STULL: No, we would not. Right now there's three fire departments in town. We're consolidating over to one house. Two of them, our hose company and 01d Forge Hose and Engine, run fund drives. We gave that up several years ago because we run bingos. We're not at the point where we're hurting for money. We want to do a five year, ten year plan down the road sO that we don't come to you guys in five years and say we're shutting our doors because we don't have money to run. So I just want to be pro-active on it and see what we can do. It think by state law we're only allowed up to three percent. If we do one percent now, a couple years do a two percent, ten years out take it up to a total of three percent, then that would help the fire department out tremendously. MR. NOTARI: Percent of what? MR. STULL: A mill. I'17 use my property. On one mill I have to pay less 32 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 than $20 a year. My home was built in '89. MR. NOTARI: We currently have allotted in the budget $75,000 for the fire department. MR. HOOVER: The other volunteer fire departments, do they have anybody for drivers or : MR. STULL: Right now Greenwood Hose Company has been doing it for about a year, two years now. What they do is they have a guy on 8:00 in the morning to 5:00 p.m. His job is to get that piece. out the door. So how they do it is like on a subcontractor-type basis where they only pay : I don't want : it's $15, $18 an hour, but they have to pay their own taxes. There's no benefits, no health, no days off. Nothing like that. I think they have probably 15, 20 on their roster just to cover all the shifts. MR. HOOVER: They get paid eight hours for being there? MR. STULL: From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. MR. HOOVER: Three shifts? MR. STULL: No, just dayshift. So 33 right now we're okay. 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: You were saying that if there was an estimated one percent you'd be paying $20 towards the fire tax on your property. MR. STULL: Right. MR. NOTARI: Depending on what goes on forward, can we send out on their behalf in our tax bill, in our sewer bill please give to the fire department instead of them spending $3,500 to hire a service to send it out? - Is that something we could do or we want to do? MS. BARTOLETTI: I don't see why we couldn't. ATTY. RINALDI: They're non-profit. MS. BARTOLETTI: Put that in there and make people notice sO they realize this is what this gives you and realize if you don't help in the future it will be this instead of this. So it's worth everyone's while to do it now because it's beneficial to everyone to do it that way. MR. HOOVER: That piece of paper I passed around, send that out, and fliers 34 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 would help. MS. BARTOLETTI: We can put it on our web page, make people realize and remind them to give. MR. NOTARI: Well, depending on what we have to discuss and what we decide. If we weren't going with a dedicated tax or mill I wouldn't have any problem jacking up our contribution. MR. STULL: Our equipment is in excellent shape. We do a preventative maintenance every year. We have Glick come up and do bumper to bumper on it. By the time they're done with it you can just pick it up at the truck stop, get it inspected with no problem. Everything gets fixed right on the spot. Our equipment is in good shape. I know there was a grant that we got for $387,000. MR. NOTARI: Isn't that part of the grant that you worked on, Bill? MR. STULL: Right. ATTY. RINALDI: Uh-huh. MR. STULL: So by the time it's said 35 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 and done over there it will be about $2.1 million. We built for the future, sO whatever happens down road, volunteers fall apart, you have to go with a paid fire department it's set up for bedrooms, set up for showers, for everything. But it does come with a price. For the next 30 years $17,000 a year. MR. HOOVER: Thanks, Bill. That's all I have. I'd like to have an executive session. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: I don't have * any items. Just to let the public know council had an executive session last meeting for personnel, and we're going to have an executive session tonight as well after the meeting for personnel. If there isn't anything else, the chair would entertain a motion to adjourn. MR. HOOVER: Motion. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: By Councilman Hoover. MR. NOTARI: Second. MR. RUSSELL RINALDI: Seconded by Councilman Notari. A11 in favor? 36 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 (Unanimous.
