it says counselor if you haven't already done so i'd appreciate it if you could supply the court reporter with the spelling of the principal's names that was made so the transcripts not really accurate do man is running out that they can go redo it or we can and i invited the principal and the teachers that were involved in this town here for this tonight due to circumstances beyond their control they couldn't make it but  is on the agenda would be audience comments these are comments from members of the audience limited to five minutes for anything that's a non agenda item that would be something that's not on the c evening's agenda is there anyone who would like to come up and speak our state your name please an address i came here tonight first question reason but first state your name and my name is sam greg i live on frosty valley road i've been a resident council people come down here to complain and gripe i want to tell you what a great job you've done i want to commend mike's a vestry what a great job each done with this township and the joke on here i know this township i'm very familiar with it and near almost and yours too far and i pay attention to what's going on but the real reason i came tonight is my barn caught fire last night and my daughter discovered it and she called nine one one and believe me less than ten minutes the fire department was there i mean and these guys coming in and no one they were so professional they bend over push the door open knowing the flame is also what a great police department we have i can't say enough they have bought it i've been here forty five years i hope i'm here another forty five because every day only gets better it's not an easy job for you guys and i know what i see in business i know that most people come to complain i come to give you a pat on the back on a job well done i love live in the dish talk thank you bob simmons one seventy simmons wrote i've been a resident of peter's township for fifty one years and all of my children live here also and that was a pretty tough act to follow hate to be paid to be one of those guys but i didn't want to read an article that i saw from other another community in pennsylvania or who would like you to hear who doesn't like county park or trend converting old railroad beds into into restoring them into walking or jogging or biking trails or for roller skaters we sure love them this story begins happily in your county spending one hundred thousand dollars to improve the order then railroad tracks in a portion any portion of your county for the heritage trail that runs alongside them where did the money come from taxpayers you know it came from the more marcellus shale industry the impact be levied as part of act thirteen law in fat in fact your county has received nearly three quarters of a million dollars from that from that fund even though there is no activity active drilling in that county thanks to act of thirteen to story ends badly because quite likely starting next year all that impact the money will disappear there will be no more impact for the money because seven  got their knickers in a twist insisted their own layman zoning regulations were better than the set standard statewide standard uniform regulation designed by geologists and experts so the seven towns sued and tossed out a large portion of act thirteen and now it looks like the impact fee will be tossed to my form i look at my form as my four hundred one k i'm sure many of you have fo one case everything about my form is everything that i have that's what i want to pass on to my children it's everything that i have worked for paid for and when you passed your mineral extraction act thirteen would have protected me from certain parts of that you ban drilling from eighty acres of my formal everybody saying forty forty forty that's all i heard all through forty it wasn't forty for me it was eighty because you did not allow combining of tracts of land i think that was wrong i think my drilling rights land owner rights are mine you took them you did not compensate me for them and i think that was a wrong thing to do also that when you when i read about that your county getting money i wondered if we actually got that we sued the state for act thirteen you took a quarter of a million dollars from thirteen in my book when you fundamentally opposed something like act thirteen you should not back it by taking the money from it i'm glad the taji could i want my kids to have parks and everything i'm glad you got the money but fundamentally when you oppose something and take the money from it and i think that was wrong thanks for your time and we actually we received probably closer to three quarters of a million dollars over the three years from the state and it's something that's in title to us part of the act was written and our provisions convention resolution and when that article says that the law was devised by geologists and other knowledgeable people that's nonsense that it was nothing was that that is is good for residence in this township it allows drilling in residential areas it allows the oil the gas companies to do whatever they want that's wrong we contested twelve constitutional issues the supreme court of the state of pennsylvania found that we were right in contesting and we were indeed correct we as councilman take an oath that we support the constitution of the state of pennsylvania at thirteen was a no win solution or situation for elected officials the impaired fee is not going anywhere the impact fee is not a right it's a compensation for the damage that occurs to townships from from drilling is township even though there is no active drilling at the moment has structure running over or will have a lot more impact in the future so i don't feel a least bit bad about taking the impact money because the impacts are there in the world and and i guess i also want to share some thoughts that i believe we did talk about for fo the first item is bids receipt for custodial services yes we bid out for study of services for most of our buildings every three years we did  one we felt that because of some issues as far as getting the information out that modification should be made when the period of the interest and penalty began and that's what i propose in my decision and  the flexibility of contractors is more beneficial than the state one but in light of some of the issues we've had this year in talking to some of the other managers you know mr oh gosh you're recommending that we actually also order a smaller amount through the costars contracts of that we have the luxury of having two different vendors to make sure that we don't have any issues with supply and so we looks like that's six zero next resolution amending the classification the job description for the land use plan or yes it just was discussed somewhat at our resolution amending the personnel manual to include a fleet safety management program for the fleet safety management program initiated  plan to review this was to was because our insurance company felt that that was something that was lacking in our policies and they had recommended that we adopt one  if i could make a comment i had said mr sylvester am alternate type of a fleet safety policy the policy that he presented to council i consider to be somewhat weak and that there are other aspects would or should normally be in a comprehensive fleet safety policy and this is not based on my expertise but on the expertise of the merrill who is my husband who has that background  i realized the hesitancy in having to go to the union and try to negotiate about some of these criteria i think there are other things that are normally put in the policy related to that as well as insurance co insurance and things of that nature that are also missing i also am not clear on their forms that need to be filled out mr sylvester assures me that those would be attached as part of the policy or provided during orientation  i just find the policy to be a little weak and i think that there may be no good time to go back in the goetia so i'm not sure whether it's a good thing to start with a policy the way it is and try to change it later or to be more aggressive in the beginning the reaction they felt that there should be that they should please see how it goes with five members at this point and guys i report him are in my memory for the last meeting that one item had to approached on to the next meeting because there was only three members there and one of them had to recuse himself because the work is done for the contractor so that's where we're at the curb if i'm wrong with the the there is you know if i were coming before the board with something i mean i'd like to think that the full commission was here in my case i i you know i just i'm going to for a little they feel uncomfortable with more people but we can't have three and two people well and i feel the same way because i am concerned with moving forward with a a comprehensive plan that there are going to be things coming to the planning committee commission that they really do need to have decisions made and a diverse opinions stated in good arguments made crowing cawing then i'm concerned and i would certainly again as you say did not want to make  here for that player ok well if there's a problem down the road we know that we have to add people to the planning commission will just replace a like we did with the zoning guy that wasn't showing up for all the meetings and we made him saying it's a very small portion of peters and that's going to occur they won't be doing that in any of our part properties were in any residential plans but there are some areas along  you know i just think it's a question of people being aware it could happen that they would send letters out they sent these letters out anybody whose property could potentially be impact ok the other question i had you've been appointed to a committee by the piece  right now the tent over ten thousand population committee is that by virtue of did you apply for that or was that something by virtue of having been there before now when we had the county convention last year  her asked me if i'd be interested in being on any committees and i told myself while i i wouldn't mind being on the ten thousand population committee because i do have an issue with  the the amount of influence the smaller communities have and that a lot of times those objectives are not the same as what the top of our townships have been and so i  guess he discussed that and then i got put on the committee again i was on it in the past it's true is that a manageable time for you may only be twice a year now that's not thank you very storm water and other places of this time ship but if we get in the business of you know homeowner assistance i think that we could see a whole lot of these situations i just don't think so i would echo the concerns on that you know we and we went through this in detail and looked at a number of items that we thought could we are very close to the goal rating and where that you know they've been looking for other areas to focus on and so we number of items beyond where when i met with the board you know the goal was not just the deuce do something to get points to get the goal reading it was the up there something that adds a value to the township and so there's a number of items that  a strong viable vibrant community and we talk about marketing peters and i think that this is a deming all the good things that exist in peter's as mr craig said it's a great place to live and i think that this is one example in one way we can promote peter's because sustainable ways not just about you know the environment but sustainable financials sustainable policies sustainable government things of that nature it's in just like to get the word out we just started putting this together and then we now we have the date and now we have the idea of where the monies will go to depending on where your ticket sales ago we will have the businesses and chamber members etc representative with boots we would like to have everybody and everybody from peter's township there so they use you cheerleaders the band the chorus you name it we'd love to have them there have them on the field the v f w will lead the cut scouts out perhaps  with the flag ceremonies and things like that so we want to get the whole community gather the first work the best that date june first worked the best for the school districts believe me we probably would have rather had an alternate date because the second is our golf outing the next morning so it didn't work good and we're looking forward to it but the one thing i would ask is please spread the word you'll see a media blitz coming on pretty soon so i'd ask our media partners to give us some assistance there so we can make sure everybody gets the word ok anything else our help but for those of you who haven't driven it yet be aware and then the second thing for the next agenda mr sylvester in the piece has bullet and there were a lot of lists of grants that were available and i wondered if you'd be able to tell us whether or not any of those who applied for it give us some kind of idea of what kind of brain activity has occurred last year for the
