The meeting was called to order by President Proctor at 6:30 p.m. after which he led the body in
the Pledge of Allegiance. Mayor Marcinko led the body in a Moment of Silent Reflection.
Council reviewed the minutes from the June 3, 2019, and June 6, 2019 meetings. Ms. Kratzer
moved and Ms. Woods seconded the motion that the minutes be accepted as presented. The
motion was passed by a unanimous vote of the Council.
There were no public comments made on agenda items.
After review, Mr. Segina moved that the schedule of billing, requisitions, and change orders for
May 2019 be accepted as presented. Ms. Kratzer seconded the motion which passed by a
unanimous vote of the Council.
Approval of Department Reports:
Fire Department and Ambulance (Written Report)
In addition to the written report, Mr. Segina stated that at the Committee meeting
it was noted that the ladder truck will need to be repaired soon. Also, they are
using grant funds to get the needed led lighting. Mr. Proctor reiterated that the
Fire Department does need a new ladder truck and it will cost between $ 1.5 and
$2 million.
Police Department (Written Report)
Codes Department (Written Report)
Public Works (Written Statistical Reports)
In his oral report, Mr. Heefner stated:
In the future, approximately $60,000.00 will be needed to replace the grinders at
the pumping station. A company from New Jersey came to look at the grinders
and reported that they do not need to be replaced at this time. The problem is that
the sewage from Swatara Township contains a lot of trash, which clogs the system
and makes it difficult for the grinders to handle the debris. He suggested that the
Steelton Borough Council Meeting Minutes – June 17, 2019 1
Borough pursue grant funds to help play for the inevitable replacement of the
grinders. He also noted that there was a training program, in New Jersey, that
would teach staff how to handle the grinders and perform repair and maintenance
of the system. He recommended that staff be allowed to attend the training.
The new camera was used to review the pipes for blockages at the sinkhole
located on the Westside. He recommended that staff attend a free two-day class
that is offered in New Jersey which will teach staff how to use the computer
system and other components included with the new purchase.
The sewer truck has been repaired, however, it is not available because the
company will not release the truck until they receive full payment for the repair.
Mr. Brown stated that $1,500.00 would cover the cost that the company requires.
The issue is that once the amount is paid, the Borough will have to find a way to
recover funds that would not have been charged. The problem with the truck was
reported prior to the expiration of the warranty, however, the problem with the
truck was not discovered and solved until after the warranty expired. The
Borough contends that the repair cost should go to the original seller since it was
unable to find and resolve the problem in a timely manner. President Proctor
asked Mr. Wion to review the situation and help find a solution. Mr. Heefner
stated that once the sewer truck is operational, it can clean the pipes and the
camera can be used to determine the condition of the pipes.
He and Ms. Woods visited the Boat Dock. They noted that there is an excess
because of a natural spring.
That the newly hired staff is working hard and are true assets to the Borough.
President Proctor addressed Ms. Woods and Mr. Heefner regarding the Boat Dock area.
He stated that there was discussion about naming the Boat Dock in honor of
Representative Ron Buxton, who was instrumental in the Borough getting the Boat Dock
and Pavilion. He requested that they try to organize a naming ceremony before the
summer is over.
Parks and Recreation Committee (Oral Report)
Ms. Woods reported that the First Annual Community Heroes event was held on June 15,
2019. Mr. Emmuel Powell and Mr. Steve Mull were the honorees. The event was
supported by the American Legion on Harrisburg Street. She thanked persons for
attending the event. She acknowledged that she and Mr. Heefner visited the Boat Dock,
and noted that it needed some work. She also reported that the staff was working hard to
make things look nice. Ms. Woods stated that she spoke to one person who frequents the
Boat Dock on a regular basis who suggested that the ability to purchase permits online
would be a big improvement to the services offered. She announced that the sandlot at the
Fourth Street Park is in disrepair and should be removed. Finally, she announced that the
next Committee meeting is scheduled for June 20, 2019, at 6:00p.m.
NEDC Committee – there was no report.
Stormwater Committee (Oral Update)
Ms. Kratzer stated that the Committee is scheduled to meet with HRG on July 18, 2018.

Mayor Marcinko stated that:

She asked Council to consider designating the third-floor restroom as the female
locker room. Chief Minium confirmed that Mr. Proctor advised him that the
female officer can use the restroom as a locker room.
She reported that she was on a ride-along and complained about the condition of
the Boat Dock, the vehicles on the bottom dock, the weeds on the fence at
Veteran’s Park, and the shaky bar at the Locust Street steps.
She thanked Mr. Heefner because on June 15, 2019, she noted that the Boat Dock
and Veteran’s Park had been cleaned up.

Unfinished Business:
Mr. Proctor requested that the Council take action regarding the bid for Public Waste Disposal
and Recycling Services submitted from Republic Services. Mr. Segina moved that the bid from
Republic Services be rejected. Mr. Heefner seconded the motion. The roll call vote results are:
Ms. Kratzer – yes Mr. Krovic - yes
Mr. Heefner –yes Ms. Woods - yes
Mr. Segina - yes Mr. Proctor – yes
The motion carried by a unanimous vote of the Council.
Ms. Hodge entered the meeting.
Mr. Wion asked the Council to consider the passage of a Resolution to enter into an Interim
Intergovernmental Agreement with the City of Harrisburg for Public Waste Hauling and
Recycling Services. Mr. Wion pointed out that the current contract with Republic Services
expires at the end of June 2019. Since the Council rejected the bid from Republic Services,
which was the only bid submitted, action must be taken to provide services to the community
beginning July 1, 2019. The requirement that the Borough provide those services is documented
Steelton Borough Council Meeting Minutes – June 17, 2019 4
the Book of Ordinances Chapter 92 for Public Waste and Chapter 86 for Recycling. Mr. Wion
suggested the Borough enter an Interim Agreement until all parties can complete an
Intergovernmental Agreement as detailed in the Intergovernmental Act.
Ms. Kratzer moved and Ms. Woods seconded the motion that Resolution 2019-R-18, approving
an Interim Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Harrisburg and the Borough of
Steelton, be adopted. There was a call for a roll call vote:
Ms. Woods –yes Mr. Heefner – yes Mr. Proctor - yes
Mr. Krovic – yes Ms. Hodge - yes
Ms. Kratzer - yes Mr. Segina – yes
The motion passed by a unanimous vote of the Council.
Mr. Wion suggested Council consider approving proposed Ordinance 2019-6, which would
amend the Code of Ordinances of the Borough of Steelton, Chapter 16 “Pensions”, Article I
“Employee Pension Plan” and Article II “Retirement Compensation by their deletion and the
establishment of a new Article I “Employee Pension”. This action is required because Council
selected a new Investment Manager. The current Manager, which was provided through the
Borough’s current Non-Uniformed Employee Pension Plan with the Pa State Association of
Boroughs Pension Plan, will no longer serve in that capacity. Ordinance 2019-6 terminates the
relationship with the Pa State Association of Boroughs Pension Plan and establishes the new and
updated Steelton Borough Employees Pension Plan. Mr. Segina moved and Mr. Krovic seconded
the motion that Council adopts Ordinance 2019 – 06, Regarding the Establishment and
Maintenance of the Steelton Borough Employee Pension Plan, Annuity, Insurance and Benefit
Fund or Funds for Uniformed and Non-Uniformed Employees, and that this plan contains an
updated version of the current plan. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote of the
Council.
Mr. Wion informed the Council about the need to update the Trust and Custodial Agreements
with US Bank for Custodial and Trustee Services related to Steelton Non-Uniform and Uniform
Pensions. This update must be made because the Borough is no longer a part of the PA
Association of Boroughs Pension Plan, and the Custodial and Trustee Services were included in
that Pension Plan. With the passage of Ordinance 2019-06, the Steelton Borough Council
becomes the Plan Administrator, by default, although it is able to appoint a Committee to
actually perform the duties of Administrator. US Bank will be re-established as the Trustee of the
Trust under the new Trust Agreement. Mr. Wion suggested that the Council form a Committee
consisting of Council members, and a representative from the Police Department and a Non-
Uniformed person to serve as the Plan Administrator. Mr. Brown stated that he has been working
on making the changes to the Pension Plan for a year and the other entities are anxious to finalize
the plan. Currently, Mr. Wion is reviewing the agreement, which then has to be approved by the
US Bank before it can be executed. Mr. Brown requested that Council authorize him, in
consultation with Mr. Wion and Mr. Proctor, to execute the Interim Custodial Trustee Fee and
Custodial Agreement in order to bring this project to a close. The Council agreed to authorize
Mr. Brown to take action necessary to move the Agreement forward so that it can come to the
Council for the final vote.
Steelton Borough Council Meeting Minutes – June 17, 2019 5
Mr. Heefner provided information regarding the recommendation to lease vehicles for the
Department of Public Works Department. He requested that the Council enter into an agreement
with Enterprise Leasing to obtain three vehicles - two pick-up trucks and one dump truck. He
reported that other municipalities and companies have used the leasing service and report being
happy with the service. The vehicles the Borough currently owns need repair and at least one
vehicle is almost unrepairable. Enterprise Lease offers a rent to own program. Mr. Heefner
expressed concern for the safety of staff using current vehicles, particularly in the winter months.
He stated that he thought one pick-up truck could be paid for from the Sewer Fund and the other
pick-up truck and the dump truck could be paid for from the General Fund. By ordering the
vehicles at this time, they will be available to the Borough in September or October, so only
about three months of rental fees would be required under the current budget. He further stated
that in four or five years when the vehicles needed to be replaced, that Enterprise would sell the
vehicles and give the Borough credit toward the purchase of new vehicles. He also made the
point that new vehicles would require less maintenance, so therefore the obtaining new vehicles
would provide large savings to the Borough. The purchasing program that will be used the
federal equivalent to the Co-Stars program operated by the state. Mr. Wion stated that he had
concerns about the contract, including whether or not it would constitute a violation of the Debt
Service Act. He stated that he has requested a meeting with staff and Council members to discuss
his concerns, prior to meeting with the representative from the leasing company. The Steelton
Leasing Committee meeting has not been held, although it was scheduled. Ms. Hodge asked if
there could be a Leasing Committee meeting in which all the issues are clarified and a
recommendation brought back to the Council in a special meeting since there seems to be a time
frame issue. It was earlier noted that if action on the leasing agreement is not taken soon, the
lease and receipt of the vehicles will be in the winter months. Ms. Hodge moved that the decision
regarding the leasing of vehicles for the Department of Public Works be tabled until the Steelton
Borough Leasing Committee has reached a conclusion regarding the terms of the lease
agreement. Ms. Kratzer seconded the motion. During the “question” phase of the voting process,
there was discussion about how leasing the vehicles at this time will affect the 2020 budget, the
interest rate offered by the leasing agency versus a bond interest rate, whether or not current
repair costs are equal to the cost of the lease, current debt cost, and the possible funding sources.
The motion was passed by a unanimous vote of the Council.
Mr. Heefner presented two estimates for repair of the Swatara Street Board Walk. The first bid
presented was Mr. H. Kenneth Waggoner doing business as Ken Clean Masonry Surgeons. His
bid was $12,440.00, for labor and materials. The second bidder was Mr. Tony LiBrandi doing
business as TLC. His bid was for $12,150.00, however, he requested a $6,000.00 down payment,
which the Borough will not pay. Mr. Brown was instructed to contact Mr. LiBrandi regarding his
request for a down payment. If he agrees to waive the down payment he will be awarded the
contract, if not, the contract will be awarded to Ken Clean Masonry Surgeons.
Mr. Heefner stated that an engineering study must be completed before a decision can be made
of the installation of a NO TRUCK parking sign on Fourth Alley in the East End. Mr. Brown
was instructed to contact HRG to get an estimate of the cost of conducting the engineering study
before any movement is made on this request.
Steelton Borough Council Meeting Minutes – June 17, 2019 6
New Business:
Mr. Brown made a request regarding the elimination of a Special Purpose Parking Permit. Mr.
Heefner moved and Mr. Segina seconded the motion that Resolution 2019 –R-19, removing the
Special Purpose Parking Permit at 602 S. Second Street be passed. The motion passed by a
unanimous vote of the Council.
Mr. Brown requested approval for overtime for three Public Works Employees for the June 22,
2019 Steelton Fest. The staff would be responsible for trash, trash cans, setting up, tearing down
and other needs to make a successful event. Mr. Proctor stated that any additional money needed
(including overtime pay) may be available from the grant which is sponsoring the event. Mayor
Marcinko asked is that included police overtime. Mr. Proctor stated that it would all be
submitted, and if approved by the grantor, would be reimbursed. Ms. Kratzer asked whether
office staff would be paid overtime, earn compensatory time, or be considered volunteers. Mr.
Proctor stated that staff will have to make a written statement clarifying the circumstances under
which they are working at the Fest. Ms. Hodge suggested that a list of employees and their status
be made available. Ms. Kratzer moved and Ms. Woods seconded the motion to allow three
persons from the Public Works Department to work overtime at Steelton Fest. The motion passed
by a unanimous vote of the Council.
Mr. Brown requested approval to submit a Repository Bid for the house on Frank Brown
Boulevard. This is the first step toward securing the right to demolish the building, which is a
blight and safety problem. Council and the School Board will have to approve the acceptance of
the bid before the demolition can begin. Mr. Segina moved and Mr. Krovic seconded the motion
that Mr. Brown be authorized to submit a Repository Bid in the Amount of $500.00 plus filing
fees to Dauphin County for Purchase of 200 Frank S. Brown Boulevard for a total price of
$657.00. The Council approved the motion by a unanimous vote.
Mr. Brown requested approval to perform Phase I on the 200 Frank S. Brown property. HRG has
submitted an informal proposal to conduct an environmental inspection of the property to
determine if asbestos, an oil tank or other environmentally sensitive materials are on the
property. Mr. Brown reports that $50,000.00 is in the budget for demolition, so funds are
available to fund the project. Mr. Segina moved that HRG be authorized to conduct an
environmental inspection of the property at 200 Frank S. Brown Boulevard at a cost of
$3,960.00, pending a formal proposal approved by Mr. Wion. Ms. Kratzer seconded the motion,
which was passed by a unanimous vote of the Council.
Public Comments:
Emmuel Powell 321 Lebanon Street asked if the Fire Department could burn down old buildings
as a part of their training. Ms. Kratzer informed him that some of the properties have been used
for that purpose. Secondly, he asked why the Codes Officers could not go on private property
since it had been done by Codes Officers. Mr. Proctor stated that he would have Mr. Curry and
Chief Minimum investigate the issue.
Chief Minium came forward to discuss the request for a traffic study to determine if a four-way
stop was feasible at a location. He stated that there had been a communication problem regarding
the request for studies. The problem has been resolved and all request will be processed
Steelton Borough Council Meeting Minutes – June 17, 2019 7
immediately. He stated that he has instructed the Officers not to deny a request without
investigating all possible avenues to approve the request. He further stated that residents on
Second Street have requested that the section between Pine and Frank Brown Boulevard be
designated as one-way. He was reminded that both Harrisburg and Pine Streets are state roads
and PennDOT must approve any changes on those streets.
Council Members expressed the following concerns:
Ms. Kratzer thanked persons for attending the meeting and for attending the First Annual
Community Heroes event. She thanked Mr. Powell for his service to the community. She
attended a meeting of the Resolution & Policy Committee of the Boroughs Association. She
stated that there were four things that were of particular interest to the Steelton Community:
1) the membership made a unanimous vote in support of the Governor’s request for support of
the RestorePA effort.
2) there is legislation to amend the urban redevelopment law.
3) Historical Preservation funds have been cut from $150 million to $ 2.5 million and the
Association is requesting that money be increased to its original level. Boroughs are asking
Congress to provide $ 148.5 million for historic preservation.
4) there is a resolution pending which would require PennDOT to take care of all sewer water
inlets drains or related issues on state roads.
Mr. Heefner, Mr. Wion, Ms. Palermo, and Mr. Brown had no concerns that had not already been
addressed.
Mr. Krovic and Mr. Woods thanked persons for attending the meeting. Ms. Woods thanked and
added that she was glad that the trash issue had been resolved.
Mr. Segina suggested that action should be taken regarding the bill coming from Republic
Services for the next quarter. He expressed concern about how the community will be informed
that they should not pay the bill, particularly since they will soon receive a bill from Harrisburg.
He wanted to know how many emails and letters the Borough has already sent out to the public.
He mentioned Steelton Fest and stated that he hoped persons would attend. He addressed the
reoccurring questions raised about the Borough finances. He explained that when he makes
statements regarding financing it is not personal, but from the view of the Finance Committee.
He stated that he wanted the Council to be aware of what is happening with the money. He
further stated that as Finance Chair, he has to be concerned about where the money to pay new
items will be obtained and that it would be good if it was possible to know that for each new
thing would replace an old thing in the budget.
Ms. Hodge stated that she appreciated everyone coming out and being a part of the process. She
expressed her position that the Council should do what is right for the entire community and not
just one section of town or one person. Further, she feels that the Borough has progressed during
the 26 years that she has lived here. She stated that she will continue to do what she thinks is
right as long as the citizens of the Borough trust her to do so. She apologized for not attending
the First Annual Community Heroes and stated that she did not receive the information in a
timely manner. She congratulated Mr. Powell on his being honored.

scheduled for July.

Council be adjourned at 8:17 p.m. The motion carried by a unanimous vote of the Council.
