placed in the township bulletin boards the website and cable television council may act on this matter this evening prior to accepting comments the staff will be making a brief gratian taishan on this matter thank you thank you mr ball yes and we have two ordinances here the lack of an ordinance that creates a library department currently the library is operated on by the library board which is appointed by council so this would make it actually an official department and then the employees would become township employees and the library funds would be directly expended by the township as opposed to giving them to the library and then them spen we give them a payment and willie so instead of that transferring to describe what you mean about change currently with currently the township contributes slightly under eight hundred thousand dollars directly to the library board through the lot through their life or from which is still technically a township run as part of our auditions and we do that on a monthly basis what will happen now is that money will go directly into the right now the board of the library is more responsible for the budget and they're going to work with the director to develop a budget and recommends yes but at the final say it's still going to be a come i tried to call in and i just i did in fact vote i to approve the minutes of five twenty six and also the transcript and at that point that i couldn't stay connected i couldn't hear so i don't know if it matters it might be added to that or not but  approve the grant agree brush road which resides in peter's township and so we just thought it would be nice for us to come in here and let you know who we are and what it is that we do and what we're bringing into your community here in two thousand and seven is when i begin the program on a farm in washington and as the program continued to grow we are through the farm in washington and i moved the facility to south park we were there for a little over a year and then we were able to secure a building that also had land attached to it for horses in off of brush on route so we moved to the property in  one is on the farm arm in arm forces need allow we have seven horses on the property and we need to be able to have turned out for their own mental state of mind which helps them stay calm for the programs that we actually offer we started our horses without offering therapeutic riding only in the for the benefits through therapeutic riding for our clients is mainly through the movement of the horse which is a three dimensional movement it's a repeatable symmetrical movement and also helps them not only physically but mentally and socially as well so there's many benefits that just offer a therapeutic riding to the our clients gives them on another no though we run our program mostly run by volunteers so being in the central location we are able to be able to offer volunteer opportunities for many different communities surrounding u program where you're learning through hands on and it's geared towards groups of individuals with behavioral problems mainly use their brands be geared towards individuals with  eating disorders or victims of abuse we can also do fully prevention programs what's nice about their plan assisted learning is it can be molded to meet the needs of many different groups of individuals who are currently  noted as a that facility that takes in turning chips from both duquesne you know slippery rock just to name a few universities  so they are aware of all the different programs that we are and we one of our goals is to be able to partner with one of the universities or a few of the universities to be able to conduct studies and a better sense of their point therapies a lot of the different homes in programs and things like that or are leaning towards more experiential learning they see a much more positive impact on the individuals in a faster faster outcomes on them as well but that was one of the things that we really wanted to really talk to this to this piece is that the building itself would be able to offer us an indoor riding facility and the importance of that is to be able to conduct o programs on the year round basis of there's no regression from our clients throughout the year so what we're looking to to achieve is a center that serves a wide ranging audiences both with those with physical and mental challenges as well as behavioral issues again building a strong connection within our own community our goals in the future to be able to add on a veteran program as communities our schools are different therapy centers as well as universities and against my daughter is resources for colleges university medical field in terms career development programs as well moving forward again as i stated earlier we are working with bill overhearing and the peters township in order to meet the necessary apartments to be able to get an occupancy permit to be able to utilize the indoor running the facility here you know again it's before and after with what the building sort of looked like after we cleaned out the bed and we had it in rubber naveen for underneath all over stalls we had seven stalls in there in the center of the building is where you are right in facility would be and then on the other end of the building is a storage area that we would be separate for the owner and the owner of the property here  plans the necessary plans to meet all the codes and requirements to use the indoor facility as a riding arena and surely your staff has been very professional with us and  given us lots of comments but we are looking we're reviewing all that we're trying to develop a path forward to allow us to use the indoor facility for lessons would be in an awful lot in we just really team up here share with you about what we're doing in ask you given the way you can help us find a path forward to allow us to meet all ordinance amending chapter one to the township code award insists the administration could redefining the role of the library board of directors creating a library department i moved to approve ordinance number seven eighty four to create a library department in peter's township  work week so it would be consistent with that they just get a half hour on page lunch we're here we get a one hour paid could you explain i come to mr so they're straight to the holiday and my concern was the way it's like half of six right it will die gasking them would you be ok with that without doing this as if we wanted it i would have preferred that we kind of say you know we don't really want that to happen wh anytime a signal goes in on a state road or township road visually the applicant has to be the township so there if there even though it's be even if it's being installed privately ultimately we be put into this so we have to make sure that if they install this is the we're going to be a situation later where the township was put on the hook for additional costs as part of the project you say the proposition that is whether or not we can use existing farms that are in the impact of the funds that were collected as impact fees to pay for this if we wanted to add additional one many such as turning dollars what we have come to sort of work through over the past several months with thankfully help from staff in your traffic engineer is that there are there's all the traffic improvements were required to be done the recognizing that it's already what meets warrants but our project that number somewhere north of six hundred thousand dollars to make that happen by sort of our engineers back of the envelope number what this primrose development allows us to do is to design the site in such a way that there's additional right of way there to add the lanes if you need to do that in the future and also by allowing us to use the impact fee money which is one hundred ninety six thousand dollars which again is almost like forty percent of the entire purchase price towards that is that allows us to put in a light which does alleviate your problem in the short term but with this development what would happen is that we would dedicate it to show right away  necessary to create the turning lanes and you would have to wait for your impact fee from others to go ahead to make that project work but it would provide you with relief and i think our engineer and your township engineer agrees with that at this point there's no way that this project could bear more than what we're already giving in terms of the hundred ninety six we have agreed to be on the hook for the additional cost which cording to worcester about another thirty thousand dollars that and the problem the solution that we're proposing does significantly help your problem we did a study of that that study was reviewed by your traffic engineer it does make a significant difference to an inspection intersection it already  before they want to have lost arise that would it would be a long time to get to make it down to their worst on their twelve year plan which is always twelve years away from improvement part of my concern is that across from that intersection o residence has residential homes and all i can see is people trying to drive around when people were stopped at my concern is that they'll be sound it won't be safe so  i think he stated it fairly well mr ball that that that would be a way to approach it to go ahead and agree that the developer would pay for the signal dedicate the land and that we would then convene the committee so that we could re it ties and potentially move this intersection up in the priority here so that we could get a turning lane ten make that right the first time yeah i figured most most often when we're looking at doing traffic impacts the projects on state roads were applying for state funding the pay a portion of it and and if we do it here i almost guarantee that we're not going to get any state funding so that we dw and i this is the last year that contract will be sending us a new one one of the things we may want to consider here you might want to look at if there's any other state roads we might want to add or portions  if i have a question or perhaps an observation you indicated that the deputy chief interviews are moving forward now you're going to be selecting six final candidates for interviewing home by virtue of mr sylvestris position as manager he has responsibility to interview and hire and i was thrown out to counsel to asked whether or not we felt there might be any interesting counsel participating in degree given potential changes in the upper echelon over the next year whether or not it makes a difference if we meet any of the candidates or know anything about them just asking for your suggestions or whether you feel that might be a that you know i have i was going to say i don't think the sign is is i mean i think that's a little tipping i think it needs to be smaller but i would agree i'd rather i think that if he's willing to do it it's a nice gesture and we should take wanted to have him talk about it so people understood what it involved and give us an idea of how much we're collecting on that well i don't have all the numbers i know that we have a lot of home occupations  we're in the process now of permits are good for five years once that five years is up we send letters out to all the folks that they can renew them you're not on that list year when you're away from th but you know to clarify folks who have who work at home for their business we're not talking about that's really not a home occupation we're talking about people who work out of their home with that's the where they earn their living we do check in with business times my excuse my provide the stuff that he gets from the county so we're always sending out letters to people informing them that if they are a home occupation we define what it is they usually respond in register and paul was made aware of them for tax purposes so we're trying to track him  to me and i because of some different personal things the scheduling it's been such that this year i'll miss the most meetings i've ever missed and i felt bad about that thought maybe the phone thing would works out maybe if we do come up with some other way to do it
