and the other a junior and i just want to read something here i'm here today to voice my extreme concerns over the recent events and overall national trend of the catastrophic events occurring in our schools has become abundantly clear that these acts are no longer isolated or viewed upon as anomalies can no longer respond with a no to your child when i asked dad mom can this happen here these anus acts are happening too frequently to be ignored we live in a copycat society with media  every turn not to mention social media which is further magnifies and exacerbates the state of affairs of state and federal lawmakers are scrambling and will continue to do that and will normal dance interaction perhaps actually do something this time but we should not wait for that this issue needs address at the local level where the men and women and women sitting in this room long school board we have an incredible responsibility in this regard we are in our township we do not have the power to ban semi automatic weapons we cannot change the background check criteria for purchase purchasing guns we don't have the power to affect mental health reform but we can do is ensure our schools or as safe as they can be a realist we could spend millions of dollars on rebuilding schools and turning them into fortresses was not what i'm saying although we do have a great opportunity at the high school to do it right i'm saying we've done a good job today but we need to go further i spoke with chief grimes just last week and he agrees more resources are needed to have police presence full time at all the schools what is the cost of five additional resource officers and correct me if i'm wrong and i may be stopping h here but i would just have some pretty large allocations for park updates maybe we start there on this gets into budget silos between parks and recreation and cetera et cetera but difficult times are difficult decisions to be made in addition i believe new safety protocols and to be introduced to all the schools regarding entry and exit points just the other day my daughter forgot a paper and mariel mantri we drove up at six thirty in the evening and she had a friend walk right in the school  by this could have been anyone and once again who's to say they don't stay and hot until morning point being entire security apparatus needs reviewed at all the schools the perpetrators of these acts are not masterminds with advanced  training their degenerates children in their own regard with no training and yet they are accessing schools and systematically massacring students and teachers surely we can bring reasonable resources to bear to counter th closing it is very simple we need to change will improve what we can when you knew we need to do it now the schools need to be hardened as they have become the preferred target of the sick and demented to think about it is truly chilling there is no longer a matter of if this will happen again it is a matter of when and where and to think otherwise is simply avoiding reality and amounts to putting your head in the sand so it really comes down to this who are we going to do let's start with getting a comprehensive plan for increased school safety on the agenda next meeting for this meeting also with the school board on their agenda to make it a top priority for the township i know you all are and i know you all work very hard on behalf of township   finance sufficient to cover the cost of engineering the project as well as the cost of acquiring additional right a way to allow for the construction  project that is something that's legitimate lay a lot under ordinances and i think one of the failings of our revisions is that we're not really looking at the infrastructure it's going how the infrastructure is going to be affected and i personally see this playing out coming in the future all up and down the times and so from my perspective on you and surprise that a turning lane a left turn lane is needed everyone knows that anybody who lives here or has worked here probably could have guessed that the results of that traffic study would have said so i have to agree with mr kerry though i think the impact you still want your state as far as what the volume of traffic generated by waters will be i don't see any reason to be surprised by what if i'm not necessarily going to vote in favor of it because i feel that it really it hasn't really solve the problem and it solve the problem because we're not going to fix that for some time make sure that columbia gas in penn dot both realize that each road is there's going to be reconstruction on it and that needs to be coordinated we have been assured that that everybody have coming up this week where we have a number of issues we want to raise with and one of the need the condition and now they agree not to jackhammer at night like they agreed to after we went to them during the last connection to the the new stage prior to this that that stage was serviced by it on a lot system that it was failing in exchange for that the community was invested both in terms of the school district high school as well as the future or ensue what it seemed there is already is agreed to do is the absorber the cost them project they normally i guess it would not be doing  the the for the community and so that application is probably going in tomorrow and we will be meeting with d c e d the people who do fund a grant on wednesday to impress upon them the need for their assistance know what that will be and how quickly the township will develop bids for should in we're quite honestly we don't we would not normally need to contribute anything because the first one to develop would assume all the responsibility but here so i think this is something that's going to be yes so who we are we are the good we had that joint meeting with the member communities forget about well i did one of the things is like and i was expressing this to mr maule before the meeting i think this is going to come back to you again i did what you did that that no one knows what the total cost of this project is yet because it hasn't project nobody seemed to be aware of what was going on in putting a third party audit in place results right and you know hook a so we found out what the problem was it doesn't solve anything going  information but it doesn't resolve the problem on engineering approach or properly you know we're going to be back here whether it's a year or two years or whenever whenever the next problem arises for another five million or over many million dollars it is and you know if you try to get there to turn off the taps again hold us hostage for whatever the next issue is  to this plan by increasing the sewage race for all the people not only in peter's township part of this plan but all on the route that we're solving anything all we're doing is saying to these people who have not managed aggressive in pursuing other resources other solutions as mr lauer said there needs to be representation there needs to be a seat at the table so that there can't be part in the decision making not and what they intend to do is a decorative wall sealed design of the actual retaining wall and cement that is part of the scenario before construction so is there any way we can curve the guardrail at the end so that we don't have a situation where students are going to someone's going to try to walk in that five foot area and end up school district so that will come in by a professional engineer to be reviewed by professional engineers and that should be a good check to make sure that everything's been accounted for is there an alternative to the wall just cos the to the right to grade and come up what we would the district would lose a lot of parking lots of the student parking there on the left and they're trying to maximize the amount of stalls that are going to have for the students so by pushing them to the right to grade that through and get rid of the wall we field on the bottom left there's a lot there so a lot of the traffic coming down through there would be for that there that's access to the parking lot on the bottom road right now is an alternative road if that road is this term to be built would have some traffic coming up through there but it's  it's a mixed residential cloverlea district they're using the new ordinance in developing this play it is twenty paddy on the play and it's being presented in the final can work with township staff in the planning director and work through the preliminary review process with with the engineer of course and we're back with as more or less a formality but if you'd like i did prepare a don't but they will be as vast majority of them will be stuck with with those other materials as accents again the patio home concept first floor master first floor garage first floor living in one better for some reason we collection on friday gets moved to saturday trucks for down drivers of them show up in what what happens is residents are left with no way to resolve the problem on  clear headed the same problem and they their solution was to require the contractor to have a collection on four days so that when everything gets moved back and a collection moves on to the friday it's a business day they're there to help residents solve their problems now the only problem with this is you will be moving the collection day for lots of people one town if we move from four days t recycling we can continue what we're doing there's also going to be have been taken for ought to be needed like sion of garbage and rye and i call her arm wrestling about how to find that service because one of the problems that you have in the south hills unlimited garbage collection has been the rule for years and years and so when you go to way out of a garbage container there's limitations on how much can you want and we're trying to that is working well the one thing that occurs in many of each year is that we're in contact with the school district with regard to our school resource officer and by that that program should continued for another year you know in light of what's been happening one of the questions that i intend to pose to the school district is do you want to extend school resource officers two additional if the community decides that that is something that's important to them i think the township should be prepared to assume the cost for those officers during the summer months but i don't know where the school when there is an officer cost  school but he sees there are more of the drudgery of bases as opposed to be to school resource officer but when he is in that building he is acting in the capacity the challenge they face is there are so many activities going on as originally at the high school that there are people in there constantly hearing on the weekends and in the evening ended so the question is how do you manage that and either allow the access to are restricted or else provide some other security so it is a challenge but they are actively looking at it for the new school as well as for the renovations at the high school once they turn that to
