                                                                      PUBLIC HEARING RE: MODIFICATIONS TO                                                                       CDBG PROGRAMS

Council President Craig Newcomer called the hearing to order at 7:15 p.m. with the following in attendance:

Borough Council Members – Benjamin Greenawalt, Jason Stains, C. Harold Mumma, Craig Newcomer, Charles McCammon and Ronald Martin

           Mayor Richard Starliper

           Borough Staff – Lloyd R. Hamberger, II, Borough Manager

                       Denny Benshoff, Maintenance Superintendent

                       Dan Sheffler, Zoning-Code Enforcement Officer

                       Kevin Grubbs, Head of Engineering Services

                       Melissa Dively, Borough Solicitor (Salzmann Hughes, PC)

                       Mark King, Police Chief

Mr. Newcomer stated that the purpose of the hearing was to provide an opportunity for citizens to comment on changes to the distribution of 2005, 2006 and 2008 Community Development Block Grant funds.

           •          The Borough intends to add a new project to 2005 funds described as Public Service - Maranatha Homeless Services. The Borough will be moving $9,000 from the existing Administration line item into the new Public Service - Maranatha Homeless Services line item. Moving the $9,000 from FY 2005 Administration will reduce the funding for this line item to $24,260.

           •          The Borough will also move $31,861.91 in 2005 Downtown Revitalization funds into the 2005 Street Improvements Program. This will put total 2005 funding for Street Improvements at $99,413.82 and Downtown Revitalization at $13,595.09.

           •          The Borough also intends to add a new project to 2006 funds described as Public Service - Maranatha Homeless Services. The Borough will be moving $6,290 from the existing Shelter Operating Costs line item into the new Public Service - Maranatha Homeless Services line item. Moving the $6,290 from FY 2006 Shelter Operating Costs will reduce the funding for this line item to $1,000.

           •          The Borough will also remove all funding, $41,000, from the 2006 Downtown Revitalization Program and put it into the 2006 Street Improvement Program. This will effectively close-out the Downtown Revitalization Program for 2006 and increase 2006 Street Improvements to $129,516.

           •          The Borough will also close-out the 2008 ADA Curb Cuts Program and put all $60,000 into the 2008 Street Improvements Program. This will increase the Street Improvements Program to $91,318.

The hearing was advertised in accordance with rules and regulations of the CDBG Program in The Record Herald newspaper on June 10, 2009. Members of the public wishing to make comments were asked to state their name and address for the record.

Borough Manager Lloyd Hamberger noted that they are essentially “shuffling money around” for projects previously approved, which is done every few years. He stated that the 2007 and 2008 programs still have money for street improvements. In addition, the activities for Maranatha were approved by Council several months ago. He explained that money allocated in 2006-2007 for New Home Shelter was approved, but rejected by the state because some of the planned activities didn’t meet their program expansion criteria. Subsequently, the only activity approved was insurance costs for their bus ($1,000 should cover that expense).

Hearing no comments from the public or Council, the hearing adjourned at 7:23 p.m.

                                                                      Respectfully Submitted,

                                                                      Melinda S. Knott
