MAYOR SYNAN RECOGNIZES
DR. GENNARO PIRAINO
AS THE 2019 PENNSYLVANIA SUPERINTENDENT OF THE YEAR
Mayor Synan presented Dr. Gennaro R. Piraino with a citation for being selected as the 2019 Pennsylvania
Superintendent of the Year by the Pennsylvania Association of School Administrators (PASA). Receiving this
distinction clearly reflects the leadership, professionalism and community engagement by Dr. Piraino. The
community of Murrysville is fortunate to have Dr. Piraino and his staff at the helm of Franklin Regional.
Thank you and congratulations.
Dr. Gennaro stated that he was nominated by board members and his peers for Pennsylvania
Superintendent of the Year. He was chosen by the Pennsylvania Association of School Administrators and
its Board of Governors, which consists of about 40 superintendents across the Commonwealth. It is a
tremendous honor and is very humbling, but really is a community award. There are a lot of people working
hard to meet the social, emotional and educational needs of students, not only academically but
athletically and artistically. It is an honor to live in this community; and as a school leader, an honor and
privilege to serve the school system and the Franklin Regional students.
On behalf of Council, Mr. Lorenz thanked Dr. Piraino for all he does with the community and congratulates
him and the district on the award, which reflects very well and positively on the community.

MAYOR’S COMMENTS: Mayor Synan stated that he had some suggestions to residents. When we have
these freezing cold temperatures and water run-off, drive carefully on the roads. Public Works is out there
salting road. Do yourself a favor and stay in so you don’t fall on the driveway or sidewalks. Medic One’s
calls were up tremendously in the last couple of weeks transporting residents to various hospitals. Be
careful!
CHIEF ADMINISTRATOR’S COMMENTS: None
COMMUNITY INPUT: Mr. Lorenz stated that this is the opportunity for the Murrysville community to talk
about anything they’d like to talk about as long as it is three minutes or less.
Bob Mitall, 4327 Bulltown Road: Mr. Mitall noted that he would like to speak later in the meeting during
the FTMSA Council Action Item.
LIAISON COMMENTS AND COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Mr. Spadaro: The Planning Commission discussed the conditional use for construction of a driveway and
related grading and drainage systems on a parcel with steep slopes, poor soils, and wetland buffers located
at 3869 Sardis Road. There are a few items the applicant needs to take care of before it goes to Council,
which would be in about a month or so. A Public Hearing was held regarding Zips Car Wash. This major
land development and conditional use application involved the development of an automated car wash
located at 5076 William Penn Highway, which is a parcel divided between both the Municipalities of
Murrysville and Monroeville. This parcel is located in front of Wendy’s. The applicant will be back in about a
month with all their conditions and plans. A Public Hearing was also held for GetGo, 4860 William Penn
Highway. This major land development and conditional use application involves the development and
construction of an approximate 5,380-square foot convenience store, fueling facility, car wash structure,
and parking lot. The applicant has to adhere to site plan, engineering and traffic conditions. The applicant
will also be back in about a month with all their plans and conditions.
Mr. Stepanovich: The Environmental Advisory Committee met on January 29. Tom Willard is Chair, Alan
Halperin, Vice Chair, and Jennifer Shepler is Secretary. There was discussion of the Titan Well Pad. A Traffic
Impact Study is still on-going. A decision on whether to use electric or diesel motors will not be made until
the actual construction starts. Ambient sound levels at the site are actually higher than the ordinance
allows. This is something that Council may want to look at. The fracking itself will be continuous over a 2-
week period. Liquid waste will be stored in a frack-tank on site. If need be, they will truck some away. A
member of the Advisory Committee did request that Huntley & Huntley donate an area for the
Conservancy. This will be looked into. Regarding GetGo, there is an underground storm water detention

system about 5300 square feet for the convenience store with about eight to ten gas pumps. Traffic flow
was discussed to make sure it is safe to exit onto Old William Penn Highway across from the Giant Eagle.
Zips Car Wash is split between Murrysville and Monroeville. Mr. Stepanovich stated that it is significant
that Murrysville’s Ordinances are stricter than Monroeville’s Ordinances. The construction is going to be in
accordance with Murrysville Ordinances.
Mr. Kase: Medic One met mid-January. They have been very busy with the cold weather. The new garage
is still under construction and should be finishing up in the near future.
Mrs. Lee Korns: The Pension Committee will meet next Wednesday, February 13, at 3:00 P.M.
Mr. Dice: The FTMSA has had two meetings. January 17th was the FTMSA Reorganization Meeting. New
members were sworn in with Jim Rumbaugh being Chairman, Bob Mitall, Vice-Chair, William Bell,
Secretary, Vince Valeri, Treasurer, and Shawn Roberts, Assistant Secretary. Several residents gave
comment and wanted to voice their displeasure with the Puckety Creek issue. There was discussion in
regards to a roof project and equipment at the plant. The bond issue was discussed and how it is going to
affect the DEP plan and study which currently needs to be implemented. The bond issue will be discussed
this evening. The flow and rainfall monitoring program was also discussed and will need to be implemented
under the bond issue. FTMSA held a special meeting on January 29, in which they hired RDM to manage
the business affairs. Wes Long was hired as the solicitor and Gibson Thomas was hired as the new
engineer.
Ms. Brockway: Ms. Brockway noted that she was sick and did not attend the Library Board meeting, but
Emma Beaver, the new Library Director, provided information. Dog Reading Pals will take place Friday,
February 8, at 4:00 P.M. This is designed to help children read out loud in a relaxed and judgement free
environment. Speed Dating with a Book is this Saturday from 2:00 – 4:00 P.M. Game Day will be Saturday,
February 16, which is open to all ages. Tuesday, February 19, at 6:30 P.M. local artist Lane Neff will be
giving this month’s art talk and discussing her methodology. Please check the Library’s website for any
upcoming programs and events at www.murrysvillelibrary.org. The next Library Board meeting is
scheduled for February 21.
WORKSHOP ITEMS
ADMINISTRATION:
9.A. Presentation and discussion concerning the Municipal guarantee of a bond issue for the FTMSA in the
amount of $12,000,000
Bob Mitall, Vice-Chairman of the Franklin Township Municipal Sanitary Authority, stated that with him
tonight is Bill Bell, a new member of the authority, and Tom Lynch, FTMSA bond counsel. They are there to
request that Council consider guaranteeing a new bond in the amount of $10,000,000. Mr. Mitall stated
that there is an interim Corrective Action Plan which was approved by the DEP. There are a number of
items that must be accomplished within a relatively short amount of time. First is mapping of the system.
Right now there is no reliable mapping of the entire system. The system consists of over three hundred
vmp
THE MUNICIPALITY OF MURRYSVILLE
Regular Voting Meeting – Wednesday, February 6, 2019
miles of sewer and five to six thousand manholes. Each need identified, data collected, and visually
inspected. Next would be flow monitoring by creating a hydraulic model of the system. The cost of just
metering this is around $1 million. After all the collection of data is done, the hard part will be figuring out
what the solutions to some of these problems are. One of the main priorities right now is Puckety Creek,
along with Heather Highlands, Sloan pump station, Tarr Hollow Road and the main pump station. There is a
draft agreement being circulated to get relief to those people. In regards to the bond issue, the rate
increase will cover the debt service for this bond issue. In reality the $10,000,000 will probably not be
enough to solve all the problems; however that amount will get them started.
Mr. Kase asked if the $10,000,000 was mostly to work on problems discussed over the years - the system
outside of the actual processing facility itself. Also with the assessment, does the facility have any major
needs as well that this money will need to go toward? Mr. Mitall answered that is one of the things they
are trying to assess. They certainly don’t want to neglect the major component, which is the treatment
facility. Fortunately, the plant is pretty good and able to handle a lot of flow. Mr. Mitall doesn’t feel there
is any action contemplated by the DEP for the plant itself; however, it needs to be watched carefully and
kept updated so they don’t fall behind. Some parts of the system have been neglected over the years.
Mrs. Lee Korns asked if the priorities mentioned were anticipated to be changed after the mapping of the
system. Mr. Mitall answered that there are so many number one priorities; however, while the evaluation
and assessment of the entire system is going on, the priorities can be addressed as they go along.
Mr. Lynch stated that the authority will issued $10,000,000 in bonds, but under the guarantee agreement
ordinance will go through as a parameters ordinance where Council would authorize an amount not to
exceed $12,000,000 so the underwriters can price the bonds with enough flexibility that they can reach
that parameter of $12,000,000. By adopting the maximum debt schedule, which Mr. Lynch provided to
Council, stating the principal thresholds at a top interest rate of 6%, together these parameters must be
met in order for the guarantee to be approved by the state. Although the ordinance states $12,000,000,
only $10,000,000 will be issued as the initial amount to obtain the lower bank qualified interest rates. The
difference between the $12,000,000 authorized and the $10,000,000 issued is that in each one of the
maturities, there needs to be a cushion built in so that when the underwriter prices the bonds, they do not
have any principal in those maturities that exceed those amounts. The ordinance needs introduced this
evening and authorization to advertise for the February 20th meeting.
Mr. Lorenz stated that the reason for coming to the Council tonight was to seek Murrysville’s municipal
guarantee of the bond. In terms of a more favorable interest rate, how much does that benefit the
Municipality in terms of interest rate over the life of the bonds? Is there a figure in terms of savings to the
rate payers? Mr. Lynch stated that he doesn’t have an actual savings figure, but in terms of basis points,
there is a savings of up to five basis points on each maturity of the bonds. These bonds will be rated at AA+
which is a very high rating. Mr. Lorenz noted that if Murrysville backs these bonds, the underwriters look
then not to just the power of FTMSA and its revenue, they also look to Murrysville’s taxing ability as a
guarantee to those notes.
Mr. Stepanovich asked that if Council were not to guarantee the bond and get the AA+ rating, is there an
estimate of the categorization at that point? Mr. Lynch answered that no one has ever done that. The
guarantee is such an advantage that it pays for itself and there is no cost to Murrysville in going through
vmp
THE MUNICIPALITY OF MURRYSVILLE

with this guarantee. Mrs. Lee Korns asked what it would take to find out just because no one has ever
done that. Mr. Lynch stated that he could have the underwriter address that and get back to Council
before the next meeting. Mrs. Lee Korns stated that she does not want to move forward without more
information. Mr. Lorenz stated that he would also appreciate knowing what the savings would be between
the two; of Murrysville guaranteeing the bond vs not and what the difference would be. The information
should be forwarded to Mr. Morrison prior to the February 20th meeting so that Council has time to look at
that information.
9.B. Discussion concerning the approval of the Volunteer Service Credit Program notarized eligibility list
Mr. Morrison stated that the Volunteer Service Credit Program was passed back in July of 2018.
Information was forwarded to the volunteer agencies and instructed on how to implement the program.
Responses have been received back from Murrysville Volunteer Fire Company and White Valley Volunteer
Fire Company. A list of qualified volunteers was provided to Council and will be presented later in the
meeting. This may not be the final list, but since earned income tax needs to be filed by April 15, Mr.
Morrison felt it was important to get this moving. Sardis and Medic One may still participate in the
program and Council will need to take additional action at that time.
Mr. Stepanovich asked what the benefit would be. Mr. Morrison stated that the benefit is 100% of the
Municipal share of the earned income tax.
ENGINEERING:
10.A. Discussion regarding Municipality of Murrysville MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System)
Revised Pollution Reduction Plan
Mr. Hilty stated that Murrysville is required to have an individual NPDES for stormwater discharge from its
Municipal separate storm sewer system, the MS4, to the waters of the Commonwealth. A permit was
issued and will expire in May. A renewal is in process and part of that is a Pollution Reduction Plan. The
Pollution Reduction Plan was submitted at the end of November. Comments were received from DEP and
the plan had to be revised. New requirement under the current renewal application process were that each
community must develop a pollution reduction plan that will reduce the sediment load to the
Commonwealth by 10% over the five-year permit cycle. Existing BMPs or proposed BMPs cannot be in any
parsed areas. Any existing BMPs or proposed BMPs cannot be outside of any of the urbanized areas or they
have to be included in the planned areas. Mr. Hilty presented a map showing that between the DEP and
the EPA, they have identified an urbanized area in all of the MS4 communities throughout the state. A
revised plan has been prepared in which the Municipality has lost about 5 or 6 BMPs; like the wetlands at
MCP. To compensate for that loss, new BMPs had to be added to those areas. About thirteen new ponds
will be retrofitted, along with the six to be done under the DCNR Grant with the Westmoreland
Conservation District. All changes have been made to that plan and were resubmitted to the DEP; they
have preliminary accepted the PRP at this point and we can move forward. The revised PRP is being
presented tonight so that it can be advertised and go back out for an additional 30-day public comment
period as required before the DEP can finalize approval and issued a new NPDES permit to the Municipality.
The plan can be reviewed on the website, a copy will be available here at the Municipal Building, and they
can come to the next two meetings. Mr. Hilty noted that the retrofits will cost about $9,000 - $10,000
vmp

which is already allocated through the MS4 funding.
Mr. Stepanovich asked what BMP stood for. Mr. Hilty stated Best Management Practices.
Mr. Lorenz asked if the Municipality was introducing any planting or vegetation to these ponds as part of
the retrofit or if that happens organically. Mr. Hilty answered that vegetation and plantings would
probably be removed because of overgrowth in the ponds. They will be cleaned out, remove some of the
sediment, make any adjustment with a riser, and some of the older ones may need new trash racks. Any
willow tails or water based plants will be formed naturally afterwards.
Mr. Morrison noted that there are significant costs associated with this MS4 Program, not only staff time
costs, but actual improvement costs. This is an unfunded mandate. Most of the funds have been
appropriated through the Capital Reserve and the Municipality has looked forward to providing the funds
necessary for this program.
Mr. Hilty noted that the next five years is going to be more of a challenge. If asked to reduce another 10%,
the Municipality may have to put in other structures like a pond that would have to be built, or a water
quality structure on our inlets.
Mr. Morrison stated that one of the examples looked at was purchasing a street sweeper which requires
sweeping the streets on a regular basis throughout the community. Costs would be about $130,000 Capital
costs plus personnel costs associated with it. Those are the kind of numbers we are looking at going
forward once we run out of ponds. Mr. Hilty noted that in order to get the 10% credit for street sweeping,
the street would have to be swept 25 times per year in the urbanized areas.

Mr. Stepanovich questioned why the reading in Section II states “the approval of Heming waiver requests
may be unreasonably denied….” Why that wording? Mr. Morrison stated, so that it would be in the sole
discretion of the Chief Administrator and the Mayor. That way it cannot be debated.

Act 537 Plan. Mr. Stepanovich seconded.
Mr. Hilty stated that this is just the Planning Module which is required by the DEP for the splashpad and

additional eight EDUs into the sewage system; one for the restroom and seven for the spray park.
Mr. Morrison stated that at the March meeting, the final design plans will be brought to Council for the
playground and splashpad. There is also going to be a 3-D model of the proposed plan.
Dick Kearns, 4997 Longview Court: Has the tap allocation been received from DEP for 2019? Mr. Lorenz
stated that Council is meeting with DEP later this month. So no, the tap allocation has not been received as
of this date. Mr. Kearns then stated that Council is then going to vote on something when they don’t have
the tap allocation? Mr. Hilty noted that those taps were allocated in 2018 and approved. Unfortunately
they didn’t get in on time and are requested for 2019. Mr. Lorenz explained that Council isn’t approving
any taps this evening. Council is approving their update to the Murrysville required Act 537 Plan which
would encompass these taps. This is simply an amendment to the Act 537 Plan and submitting it to the
DEP for review and approval.
