Ms. Maier and Mr. Lanfrank will get that information to the MCTA. Ms. Probst asked about the status of the bus shelters. Ms. Maier answered that she has not spoken with MCTA recently about the shelters; however, she has a drawing showing where the shelters are supposed to go, but Penn DOT has only approved one of the locations. 7. Consideration to appoint Beverly Braxton-Cannon as a member of the Human Relations Commission (term will expire 12/31/2019 to fill the unexpired term of Erica McCabe). Ms. Braxton-Cannon was present to discuss her interest in the appointment with the Borough Council. She has lived in downtown Stroudsburg Borough for six years. She is a drug and alcohol counselor.

The motion was carried with all present voting affirmatively (7-yes, 0-no, 0-abstentions). 8. Consideration to appoint Daniel Lichty as a member of the Planning Commission (term will expire 12/31/2022). Mr. Lichty was present to discuss his interest in the appointment with the Borough Council. Mr. Lichty also serves on the Historical Architectural Review Board. Mr. Connors asked him what he sees as the roll of a Planning Commission member. He replied that there is a need to balance existing residential districts with the need for morecommercial ratables in the downtown to keep the community viable and a desirable place to live. Ms. Probst asked if he is in favor of keeping commercial uses out of the R-2 zones. He replied that he would like the residential neighborhoods to remain as is. A motion was made by Mr. Abell, seconded by Mr. Weiss to appoint Daniel Lichty as a member of the Planning Commission; his term will expire 12/31/2022). The motion was carried with all present voting affirmatively (7-yes, 0-no, 0-abstentions).

The motion was carried with all present voting affirmatively (7-yes, 0-no, 0-abstentions). 9. Consideration to authorize the purchase of a Pierce Enforcer Pumper/Rescue truck for Stroudsburg Fire Department-Chemical Company 1. Fire Chief Charles Frantz and Assistant Fire Chief Michael Mignosi were present for the discussion. Chief Frantz advised Council that the proposed truck, which will also be a rescue truck, will replace Engine #1 on the Chemical Company side; that vehicle is 30 years old. The Fire Department is looking at consolidating its fleet by retiring Engine #1 (1990), old Engine #6 (1986), the rescue truck and the mini pumper which would leave 4 engines. The Council could eventually authorize the sale of the four engines. Engine #4 will be the next vehicle to be replaced about 15 years from now. Mr. Connors requested an inventory of the fire department vehicles, an evaluation of their status, what they are used for, and what the future needs of the fire department might be. He asked if used equipment was considered. He provided information about a five year old truck with 30,000 miles that he saw on line for one-third the price. Mr. Lanfrank asked if grants are available for fire apparatus purchases. Ms. Maier answered that PEMA loans are available for $100,000.00; however, that is not necessary as this purchase is intended to be funded out of the Fire Apparatus Fund. Chief Frantz advised that the department does apply for grants for equipment. Assistant Chief Mignosi added that the tank capacity and pumping ability of the vehicles together with the hydrant system contribute to a favorable ISO rating which ultimately helps taxpayers with their property insurance. Ms. Probst asked if the purchase of the new vehicle will contribute to public safety and firefighters’ safety. Chief Frantz replied that it will. Mr. Abell thought that grants may be more attainable for new vehicles. A motion was made by Mrs. Kochanski, seconded by Mr. Lanfrank to purchase a 2020 Pierce Enforcer Pumper Rescue Truck for $798,951.00 (CoStars 13-Contract #013-055) from Glick Fire Equipment Company, Inc. per a quotation dated August 28, 2019.

Mr. Kimes discussed a ticketing program that he recommends in order to expedite the enforcement of code violations and to reduce the associated administrative costs. United Public Safety (UPS) is a company that offers handheld ticketing devices similar to the handheld devices from ParkTech that are used by the Parking Enforcement Officers. He explained the process to the Council and noted that the product is being used successfully in East Stroudsburg Borough, the City of Erie, West Chester, Chester, Steelton, Danville and Radnor. He noted that he went out in the field with East Stroudsburg to observe the process. The initial cost is $10,200.00, and $5,600.00 per year after that.

Representatives Maureen Madden and Rosemary Brown have asked the Task Force to keep them informed of all developments. 19. Mayor’s Report – Mayor Probst reported that the Downtown Business Association will meet on Tuesday, September 10. She asked about the status of the proposed parking lot adjacent to the Pocket Park and Quaker Alley. Ms. Maier reported that in her recent conversation with the County Administrator, Greg Christine, the County’s architect indicated that it would be approximately two years until a shovel could be put in to the ground. The County does not wish to pursue the project. The results of the bids for the solar trash cans will be available at the next Council meeting. An engineer’s drawing for the proposed ice skating rink at the corner of 8th and Main is being prepared; Council approved that expense at the last Council meeting. The property owner does seem interested in the project. The Mayor discussed a recent situation in which an ex-police officer received a parking ticket for parking in the vacant lot at the corner of 8th and Main. Ms. McCabe stated that it was a valid ticket as that lot is not an approved parking area. 20. Council Member Reports. Mrs. Kochanski asked if it is possible for Penn DOT to reimburse the Borough for the missed revenue from the two meters that are being blocked as a result of the West Main Street bridge reconstruction project. A motion was made by Mr. Connors, seconded by Mrs. Kochanski to forward the matter to the Parking Committee. The motion was carried with all present voting affirmatively (7-yes, 0-no, 0-abstentions). Mrs. Kochanski suggested that the Borough purchase ten meter bags with locking mechanisms for construction projects. Mr. Lanfrank advised that a few residents have remarked about retailers’ use of plastic shopping bags and whether the Borough can prohibit that. Mr. Weiss reported that he was speaking with Mr. Kimes about a habitual offender, and when Mr. Weiss went to check on the business, he was verbally mistreated in one of the Borough’s parking lots by a person from that business. He asked if the Borough has an ordinance that would address that kind of behavior. He was told to contact the police. Ms. McCabe reported that alternate side of the street parking was not adhered to during Stroudfest, and it created an issue. She suggested that Council address that next year. Mr. Abell asked if there are sidewalk detour signs at the West Main bridge reconstruction site because he sees people crossing in front of the concrete median barrier. Other Council members stated that there is sufficient signage. Mr. Smith reported that Penn DOT moved the large sign at the off ramp of I-80 East at Park Avenueso that it does not affect site distance. He spoke with a gentleman who was driving a Tesla on Ann Street and mentioned that the Borough has two charging stations. The gentleman did not see that location on his app. Ms. Maier will check on that because Tesla may not show ChargePoint stations on its app. More signage could be put up to help people find the stations. Mr. Smith asked Mr. Kimes about the procedure for noisy, late night parties. He told Mr. Smith to call the police, and if there is an incident report issued, SARPD should send the Codes Office a copy so that the Tenant Registration can be checked. 21. Solicitor’s Report. Mr. McDonald asked for Council’s input on the proposed Short Term Rental Ordinance. He would like to know where the use should and should not be permitted. What is the scope of the term, “Short Term Rental”? Council should also determine if the use will be permitted, a conditional use, or a special exception. Mr. Abell suggested that there should be a limitation if the property owner does not live there at least 50% of the time. Mrs. Kochanski suggested that the use should be prohibited in the R-1 and R-2 zones. There is no new information on the proposed LERTA Ordinance. Ms. Maier advised that the Stroudsburg Area School District will be meeting on September 4 to discuss the ordinance. Mr. McDonald circulated a draft sublease amendment between the Borough and the Stroudsburg Little League for Council to review. Ms. Maier will send a copy to the SASD Superintendent. 22. Manager’s Report. Ms. Maier confirmed that she sent a Manager’s Report to all Council members. She is meeting with Ed Henning on September 11 to discuss the ESSA Foundation Grant Application and to give him more information about the proposed pool house renovation. She hopes to have a report next week from RKR Hess after they speak with Reilly Associates (engineer for Stroud Township) about the percentage of their contribution for the emergency repair that was performed on Ann Street and the proposed work. She hopes to have the LSA Grant Application for the Ann Street project uploaded by September 11. A draft budget was emailed to Mr. Smith and Mr. Lanfrank. 23. Code Enforcement Officer’s Report. Mr. Kimes reported that the Regulated Rental Applications were mailed to all property owners in the Borough. His department has received half of the applications back. 835 rental units have been reported so far at $10 per unit. A permit was issued recently to Fresenius Kidney Care for the old Rite Aid Pharmacy location. Planet Fitness contacted him about possibly using the former antique space next to that location. Mr. Brancato will be opening a brewery and restaurant at the former Main Street Appliancelocation. John Iacono is working on the former WSBG building on South 6th Street. He will have a business use on the first floor and residences on the second floor. Mr. McDonald asked about the status of the Shanti House and former Hess Gas Station applications. Mr. Kimes replied that the Shanti House application is scheduled for the next Planning Commission meeting on September 17. The engineer for the former Hess Gas Station site had a death in the family, so there has been nothing new on that application. 24. Street Superintendent’s Report. Mr. Ace reported that 20 Veteran’s banners will be installed this week on Main Street. 25. Approval of Bills on Warrants 190903.
