Civil Service Representative (Borough Resident) for Southern Regional Police. Borough Engineer s Report 1. Wexcon will begin the Church Street project on July 30 or 31. Work hours will be 8am 4pm, and no local traffic will be allowed through the construction area. In addition, no parking will be available during the work hours. The Water line was incorrectly marked; Penn DOT supplement was completed for changing the storm sewer to the opposite side of the street for a few inlets near the post office. 2. Columbia Gas has several gas leaks in the main on Church Street. Columbia Gas has suggested relocating the main, with placement under the sidewalk on Church Street, but due to other emergency work, will not be able to start the Church Street main relocation until January, 2014. Wexcon suggested that they could install gravel stone behind a rolled curb on Church Street as a temporary measure, until Columbia Gas is able to begin this project. After a lengthy Council discussion, 1

B. Wetzel moved to postpone the Curb and Sidewalk replacement project on Church Street to allow Columbia Gas to relocate the Church Street gas main underneath the curb and sidewalk, seconded by J. Merrick. Motion carried. Wexcon has agreed to place hot patch at the rolled curb rather than cold patch. 3. The engineer discussed a storm water issue at 101 Manchester Street. The property owner, Dennis Copp, stated that storm water is coming out of the ground near the foundation of his garage. The engineer stated that the borough is responsible for storm water piping within the Borough s right of way. The solicitor said that the natural flow of storm water is private property owners responsibility; when storm water is diverted, whoever creates the diversion is responsible. The solicitor suggested completing a title search to investigate whether any changes were filed of record. R. Apgar moved to authorize the engineer and work supervisor to investigate the storm water issues at the storm water drain located on Manchester Street near 101 Manchester Street and begin a Growing Greener II Grant application for a storm water project on Manchester Street, if this project would meet the grant requirements as an acceptable project, seconded by B.
