Mr. Brown requested approval of an Appraisal Agreement with Industrial Appraisal Company. It has been A long time since the Borough has had an update and inventory of the capital assets. A fixed depreciation cost will ensure that the insurance will adequately cover any losses. This item is included in the 2018 budget and will come from the three funding streams. After discussion, it was determined that the Solicitor should review the proposed agreement and report his findings to Council at the next scheduled meeting. Mr. Singh presented the proposed changes to Chapter 82 Property Maintenance and Housing Code. He has been working with the NEDC Committee reviewing and updating the codes, which have not been reviewed and updated since 2000. The changes will bring the Borough Codes up to the standard of the International Property Maintenance Codes. Among the changes are: an updated instant ticket format, ten new items, an updated fee schedule that is similar to other municipalities in the area, a focus on rental properties. The NEDC Committee has reviewed and approved the proposed changes and now request that they be sent to the Solicitor for review and the drafting of ordinances to approve the revised codes. The new codes would be effective July 1, 2018. The Department will conduct workshops with landlords and tenants to review the new codes. Mr. Brown initiated a discussion of the traffic light cycle at Front and Locust Street. The issue has been evaluated and it was determined that the video trak card at that intersection need to be replaced. The cost of replacing two trak cards is $6, 171.43. During the discussion it was noted that the wind velocity jostles the camera which sends an inaccurate signal to the light. The Borough may be too small to get a grant to cover the cost of a new camera system. Is a traffic light really necessary at that location? The light is there to ensure that trucks coming into and out of the mill have access to Front Street. Would a motion detector would be a better option than the camera system that now exist? The matter will be sent to the Public Works Committee. Public Comments: Ms. Veronica Supan, 2604 South Fourth Street –Work completed by Roto Rooter, early spring, in Third Alley caused a pothole which is now filled with gravel. Currently, there are two cones placed at the hole. If the snow plows clean that area additional problems with the gravel will occur. Mr. Brown stated that Public Works and the Codes Office should look into the situation. Regarding the traffic light at Locust and Front Street, Ms. Supan stated that there was a new Pennsylvania law for motorcycles that indicated if there is reason to believe the traffic light is not working correctly and driver sits at a red light for a long time, the driver should look both ways and if there is no traffic, can make its turn. Perhaps the Borough could follow that law at that intersection. The Police Department should be informed so that they do not issue tickets for turning on the red light. Steelton Borough Council Meeting Minutes – November 20, 2017 6 Mr. Emmuel Powell, 321 Lebanon Street - Mr. Powell expressed concern about the light at the corner of Locust and Front Streets. He suggested Council work to restrict traffic between certain hours, for example, 8- 10 a.m. and 3-? p.m. He noted that there used to be a lot of trucks coming from the mill but at this time, there are about four trucks per day coming from the mill. He asked if a traffic light was really necessary at that location and stated that eliminating the traffic signal would save the Borough money. Mr. Howard Gray, 240 Cottage Hill Lane – Mr. Gray expressed concern about the parking lot of the, now inactive, Casa Chica Restaurant. There a vehicle sitting on blocks parked on the lot. The vehicle is covered by a blue tarp which children like to play under, perhaps pretending it is a tent. This situation is a safety hazard. In the ensuing discussion, it was agreed that the lot is being used to repair automobiles. The owner of the property was notified to eliminate any business conducted on the property and to keep the property clean. The Codes Enforcement Officer is aware of the problem and is working to remedy the situation. Council Concerns: Ms. Kratzer congratulated Mr. Powell for being recognized by a local television station as the Military Person of the Day.

Mayor Marcinko stated that: 1. She will not be present during the December meetings so she wished everyone Happy Holidays. 2. She expressed Congratulations to the new incoming Council and she looks forward to working with them. 3. She suggested that perhaps the Public Works Chair add posting signs for the street cleaning period be added to the Committee’s agenda. 4. She further suggested that Council consider making the street cleaning at the same time every year such as April 1st to November 1st to eliminate the confusion. 5. She asked if the NEDC Committee could develop a policy for the use of the Steelton Fire Department, the Steelton Fire Department and whatever might be involved like the use of a building, etc. The policy should include definitions for things like “sponsor”. There was some confusion which would have been avoided if there was a policy in place. 6. The Mayor mentioned that there needs to be better communication with in the Council and the Committees, for example there are times when she learned something was happening when it was posted on Face Book and persons in leadership should have that kind of information before it is advertised.
