        1                    MR. KERRICK:  I'd like to welcome
        2    everyone here this evening for the regular business
        3    meeting.  Could we open the meeting with a Pledge
        4    of Allegiance?
        5                    (Pledge of Allegiance was recited.)
        6                    MR. KERRICK:  First we have
        7    announcements.  I wanted to announce we had a short
        8    executive session this evening before the meeting
        9    from 6:45 to 7 p.m. for some litigation matters.
       10                    Do you have any announcements,
       11    Heidi?
       12                    MS. PICKARD:  No.
       13                    MR. KERRICK:  Pat, do you have any?
       14                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  No.
       15                    MR. KERRICK:  Next item, consider
       16    the minutes of January 5, 2009, reorganization
       17    meeting.
       18                    MS. PICKARD:  I make a motion we

       20    minutes.
       21                    MR. KEENER:  Second.

       23                    Questions or comments from the

       25                    MS. PICKARD:  I'll just mention that

                                                                4
        1    that's our quarterly payment for the police
        2    services in that number.
        3                    MR. KERRICK:  Thank you.
        4                    Questions or comments from the
        5    public on the motion?
        6                    Call the vote.
        7                    Jamie?

        9                    MR. KERRICK:  Donny?
       10                    MR. MOYER:  I vote in favor.
       11                    MR. KERRICK:  Hugh?
       12                    MR. LAMBERTON:  I vote in favor.
       13                    MR. KERRICK:  Heidi?
       14                    MS. PICKARD:  I vote in favor.
       15                    MR. KERRICK:  Motion carried.
       16                    Next on the agenda, solicitor's
       17    report.
       18                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  I don't have
       19    anything for this evening.  Just a note that next
       20    month is most likely going to be when the rezoning
       21    map ordinance is going to be considered for
       22    adoption over by that Pocono Manor property.  I
       23    believe it's going to be advertised for your second
       24    meeting in March.
       25                    MR. KERRICK:  Second meeting in

                                                                5
        1    March?
        2                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Your regular
        3    meeting, not the work session the following Monday.
        4                    MR. KERRICK:  Next item on the
        5    agenda, new business.  First item, Pocono Motor
        6    Sports waiver request.
        7                    Yes, sir?
        8                    MR. LANCE MIRKIN:  I'm here from
        9    Pocono Motor.  I don't know if you need --
       10                    MR. KERRICK:  Pat, do you want to do
       11    what we discussed?
       12                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Yeah.  I believe the
       13    applicant was here last week during the work
       14    session with his engineer at the time.  And what
       15    they were requesting -- they have a pending land
       16    development application, I believe, with the
       17    township and along with that land development
       18    application they're requesting a waiver and/or an
       19    alternative with respect to one of your provisions
       20    within your sanitary sewer ordinance, within the
       21    code.  That requirement regards the secondary or
       22    alternative or reserved sanitary sewer on-lot
       23    septic location for the property.
       24                    They're requesting, it's my
       25    understanding, not necessarily a waiver, but some

                                                                6
        1    indication from the board at this point on whether
        2    or not you would consider the alternative procedure
        3    with respect to that four-year fill procedure
        4    that's set forth in their letter to the township,
        5    dated January 19, 2009.
        6                    Obviously any consideration of the
        7    board would be, I would advise, conditional upon
        8    clarifying the responsibilities of the builder and
        9    the land development agreement with respect to the
       10    land development application, including but not
       11    limited to, you know, the specifics as to the
       12    procedure for the four-year fill, as well as any
       13    financial securities to be posted with the township
       14    in the event that for some reason or another within
       15    four years that secondary location is not adequate,
       16    and also to cover any potential needed pump and
       17    haul costs that may incur.
       18                    MR. KERRICK:  What's the board's
       19    pleasure?
       20                    MR. MOYER:  I don't know.
       21                    MR. KEENER:  Do we have to have the
       22    bonding in?  I mean, if they don't have adequate
       23    septic, if they have a failure of the septic, can
       24    we just close the business?  I mean, that's the
       25    risk that they take.

                                                                7
        1                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Yeah.  I mean --
        2                    MR. KEENER:  I mean, I don't know if
        3    they want to pay the bonding for four years or run
        4    the risk of having the business closed down if they
        5    don't have adequate septic in four years.
        6                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Right.  Well, I
        7    think they'll have adequate septic.  It's a
        8    secondary location.
        9                    MR. KEENER:  But if the first one
       10    fails and the second one doesn't meet the
       11    standard --
       12                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Right.
       13                    MR. KEENER: -- then they may not.
       14    But I know also --
       15                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  I think there was
       16    also discussion about having the applicant
       17    investigate if there is any available way to
       18    provide an on-lot treatment -- package treatment
       19    plan so to speak.
       20                    MR. KEENER:  We also mentioned about
       21    talking to the adjacent property owner to see if
       22    there was anything there.  Did you investigate that
       23    at all?
       24                    MR. LANCE MIRKIN:  No.  I don't know
       25    if Mr. Robbins did or not.

                                                                8
        1                    MR. KERRICK:  Well, as we discussed
        2    at our work session, we were in favor of a waiver
        3    but we were willing to work with the owner, some
        4    sort of an agreement.
        5                    MR. LANCE MIRKIN:  Right.
        6                    MR. KERRICK:  And I don't think we
        7    can come up with that this evening.
        8                    MR. KEENER:  Well, I think a
        9    modification is in order that, you know, we talked
       10    about -- or they offered the four-year fill and do
       11    the four years, and in the meantime we're going to
       12    be looking at a potential sewer extension that
       13    would cover that area.  Whether that will happen in
       14    the next four to ten years, who knows, but --
       15                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  I don't know if it
       16    would be a waiver of the actual requirement.  I
       17    think it would be more along the lines of agreement
       18    that it would be -- that the four-year fill process
       19    would be adequate as long as the procedures are
       20    followed according to, I don't know if it's DEP or
       21    whoever provides for that four-year program.
       22                    MR. KERRICK:  What we had before
       23    says a request for a waiver.  So do we need to vote
       24    on that --
       25                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  If --

                                                                9
        1                    MR. KERRICK:  -- if what we're
        2    discussing here is not the waiver?
        3                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Well, you can make a
        4    motion.  It doesn't have to be a waiver, it can
        5    just be whatever action you think is appropriate in
        6    response to that letter.  They're requesting a
        7    waiver in that letter.  I don't know if you're
        8    considering a full waiver of that requirement at
        9    this time.  I think it's more along the lines of
       10    a --
       11                    MR. KEENER:  Modification.
       12                    MR. KERRICK:  My point with the
       13    modification, I wasn't -- I didn't know if we were
       14    prepared to solicit the modifications that we
       15    wanted.  As we discussed at the work session,
       16    basically they're looking for are you willing to
       17    work with us, right?  And that would be yes.
       18                    MR. MOYER:  Right.  So that they
       19    could move forward.
       20                    MR. KERRICK:  But I don't think that
       21    we have to list every modification that we can
       22    think of this evening.
       23                    MR. KEENER:  Well, that's what was
       24    presented in the letter, that they would place fill
       25    for a period of four years and then retest the

                                                               10
        1    replacement area.
        2                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  I think if the
        3    applicant -- if all you want to do tonight is let
        4    them know that you're willing to consider that
        5    four-year fill program as long as, you know, all
        6    the required, you know, securities and/or
        7    development language in the development agreement
        8    are adhered to, you know, that's, I think, all you
        9    need to do.
       10                    It doesn't need to be a motion just,
       11    you know, concurrence of the board at this point
       12    that you're willing to consider that four-year fill
       13    program as set forth in their letter.
       14                    MR. KEENER:  That's fine, because on
       15    that plan they're requesting three other
       16    modifications as well.  I mean, we could take those
       17    up when the land development application is before
       18    us.
       19                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Right.  It would be
       20    when the land development application comes before
       21    you after getting whatever recommendation from the
       22    planning commission is when you make your formal
       23    action on the plan and any requested waivers or all
       24    the modifications that they're requesting at that
       25    time.

                                                               11
        1                    MR. KERRICK:  We can move on then?
        2                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Well, is there a
        3    concurrence from the board that you will --
        4                    MR. KERRICK:  Yes.
        5                    THE REPORTER:  Can I have your name,
        6    sir?
        7                    MR. LANCE MIRKIN:  Yes.  Lance,
        8    L-a-n-c-e, M-i-r-k-i-n.  My understanding from
        9    Mr. Robbins was that this is just to see if we can
       10    work something out to a degree before we go spend
       11    like all the money on the next phase of the project
       12    as we go down the road.  I mean, I know it doesn't
       13    mean anything's written in stone, it's just, is
       14    there something we could possibly work out.  That
       15    was my understanding.  It's not like yes and no,
       16    it's just that we can keep the ball going to some
       17    degree rather than -- you know, I don't want to
       18    throw good money after bad.  You know, I want to do
       19    the project.
       20                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Yeah.  And I
       21    think --
       22                    MR. KERRICK:  Well, that's what we
       23    just said, that they're willing to work with you.
       24                    MR. LANCE MIRKIN:  Okay.  Thank you.
       25                    MR. KERRICK:  Next item, Hoffman,

                                                               12
        1    Hoffman and McShea minor subdivision.
        2                    Anybody representing Hoffman,
        3    Hoffman and McShea?
        4                    MR. TERRY D. MARTIN:  I am.  Terry
        5    Martin.  Good evening, everyone.  I'm here this
        6    evening on behalf of Lois Hoffman, Randy Hoffman,
        7    and Robin McShea for a proposed minor subdivision.
        8                    As I described at your work session
        9    last Monday, it's a minor subdivision of the
       10    Hoffman lands.  They own approximately 66 acres in
       11    Pocono Summit that has frontage on State Route 940.
       12    It's located in both the commercial and the
       13    commercial/industrial district.  Commercial being
       14    the corridor parallel with 940 for a depth of
       15    approximately 200 feet.
       16                    They're proposing to subdivide
       17    29 acres off of the southerly portion of the
       18    existing lands that adjoin lands of the Pocono
       19    Mountain School District and FedEx Freight that's
       20    shown as Lot 1 on the plan.  There's a note on the
       21    plan saying that Lot 1 will be joined to and
       22    becoming a separable part of the lands of FedEx
       23    Freight that adjoin those lands to the east right
       24    now.
       25                    Lot 2, which would be the remaining

                                                               13
        1    lands of approximately 37 and a half acres, has
        2    existing improvements, which are the Country Stores
        3    building, which is located to the far east of their
        4    existing lands, that has frontage on 940.  The
        5    remainder of the tract is undeveloped, and they're
        6    not proposing any other improvements that exist as
        7    they do today.
        8                    There's access to the remaining
        9    lands.  Lot 2, not only at the Country Stores, but
       10    also the driveway that serves Tokyo Tea House and
       11    some other retail stores and what was the PA 940
       12    Station that recently burned, that driveway right
       13    off of 940 is actually on Hoffman's land that serve
       14    those.
       15                    We did get a copy of the original
       16    permit that was issued by PennDOT for that
       17    driveway.  The Country Stores have an existing
       18    sanitary sewage system on-site, as well as an
       19    individual well.  We did get -- you'll notice on
       20    the plan, the existing Country Store building does
       21    not meet the current front yard setbacks in your
       22    zoning ordinance.  The Hoffmans did get a
       23    nonconforming certificate from the zoning officer
       24    for that nonconformance.
       25                    There are a number of waivers or

                                                               14
        1    modifications which we list on the plan, which
        2    we're requesting, along with the approval of the
        3    minor subdivision.  Some of those being the ones
        4    which are generally approved by the board as far as
        5    locations of adjoining streets, buildings,
        6    right-of-ways, transmission lines within 500 feet
        7    of the property.
        8                    And the remainder are with respect
        9    to landscaping and stormwater.  We're requesting
       10    actually a waiver of the time requirement for those
       11    since there's no change being proposed with this
       12    subdivision in the property.  There will be no
       13    additional runoff, no existing construction which
       14    may require landscaping.  So we're asking for a
       15    waiver of those sections of your ordinance with
       16    respect to time.
       17                    And I do note on the plan that in
       18    the future if there's any development or further
       19    subdivision that the applicants would be required
       20    to address those sections of the ordinance.
       21                    MR. KEENER:  Does it acknowledge on
       22    here that the center, where the Tokyo Tea House is,
       23    does have access to that road?
       24                    MR. TERRY D. MARTIN:  Yes.
       25                    MR. KEENER:  It says roadway

                                                               15
        1    easement and future 50-foot roadway, but is there
        2    anything in the note that says that they have
        3    access to that?
        4                    MR. TERRY D. MARTIN:  The deed says,
        5    yeah.  And there was actually a subdivision plan
        6    that was filed with the township that illustrates
        7    that easement across Hoffmans' land to those
        8    commercial properties.
        9                    MR. KEENER:  Do you have a plan that
       10    shows the owners' signatures and all of that?
       11                    MR. TERRY D. MARTIN:  We're going to
       12    get those following approval.  We didn't want to
       13    get those until we were done making any revisions
       14    that the planning commission and supervisors have,
       15    but those will be forthcoming from both the
       16    Hoffmans and FedEx Freight.
       17                    MS. PICKARD:  And they would be
       18    recording a new deed erasing that lot line?
       19                    MR. TERRY D. MARTIN:  Yes.
       20                    MS. PICKARD:  And that would be
       21    submitted to the township?
       22                    MR. TERRY D. MARTIN:  Yes.
       23                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  The American
       24    Freightways property, the one that's consolidating
       25    with Lot No. 1, they have access to that.  It looks

                                                               16
        1    like they have access to what?
        2                    MR. TERRY D. MARTIN:  940?
        3                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  940.
        4                    MR. TERRY D. MARTIN:  Yeah.  They
        5    actually own a strip.  Feet title that comes across
        6    through here, I believe it's 60 feet wide.  There's
        7    no required testing or planning module with this
        8    since Lot 1 will be joined to existing lands of
        9    FedEx which already has on-site sewage and water
       10    facilities, and the remaining land likewise has
       11    existing facilities.
       12                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  In conjunction with
       13    this plan there's also a declaration of covenants
       14    and restrictions which basically spells out the
       15    fact that the waivers, with respect to landscaping
       16    and I think stormwater and some other improvements,
       17    even though you're waiving them now, the owners of
       18    the two lots are going to be required to -- for
       19    those requirements in the ordinance at the time of
       20    any future subdivision and land development.
       21                    MR. LAMBERTON:  Do we have a
       22    statement of ownership?
       23                    MR. TERRY D. MARTIN:  It's on the
       24    plan.  It hasn't been signed and notarized yet.
       25    The owners and -- both the owners and FedEx are

                                                               17
        1    willing to do that once they know there are no
        2    further plan revisions and that the township
        3    accepts it as it is.
        4                    MS. PICKARD:  The declaration of
        5    covenants was in the developer's agreement?
        6                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Yeah.  It's a minor
        7    subdivision.
        8                    MS. PICKARD:  Yeah.  He just
        9    mentions that in the note here.
       10                    MR. KEENER:  Do we have Bob's final
       11    letter?
       12                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  I think his final
       13    review letter is in your packet.
       14                    MR. KERRICK:  It's in the packet.
       15    It's behind the other letter.  It's dated January
       16    8.
       17                    MS. PICKARD:  And the second sheet
       18    lists all the waivers.
       19                    MR. KEENER:  I make a motion we
       20    approve the final minor subdivision lot
       21    consolidation plan for Hoffman, Hoffman and McShea,
       22    Project No. 2008-017, subject to Mr. McHale's
       23    letter of January 8, 2009, including SALDO
       24    modifications Section 135-12.D-2; 135-15A15;
       25    135-17L, M, Q, and V; Section 135-18B, 13, 15, and

                                                               18
        1    16; and Chapter 124 stormwater management.
        2                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  And those are
        3    subject to the timing and the declaration.
        4                    MR. KEENER:  Subject to the
        5    declaration, signing of the ownership, and
        6    acknowledgment of the plans.
        7                    MR. KERRICK:  Motion on the floor.
        8                    Do we have a second?
        9                    MR. MOYER:  I second.
       10                    MR. KERRICK:  Motion and second.

       12    on the motion?

        2                    MR. KERRICK:  Next item on our
        3    agenda, Pinecrest Phase 2, Section 5, Lot A7,
        4    revised final development plan.
        5                    Do we have anyone here this evening?
        6                    MS. PICKARD:  We still didn't
        7    receive any information that we were looking for,
        8    and our time extension, I believe, is April.  So
        9    I'm going to recommend and make a motion that we
       10    table Pinecrest Phase 2, Section 5, Lot A7, revised
       11    final development plan.
       12                    MR. KERRICK:  Motion on the floor.
       13                    Do we have a second to table?
       14                    MR. KEENER:  Second.
       15                    MR. KERRICK:  Questions or comments
       16    on the motion?

        4    Motion carried.
        5                    Next item on the agenda, Resolution
        6    2009-007 authorizing to file grant application for
        7    land use planning project.
        8                    MR. KEENER:  I make a motion we
        9    approve Resolution 2009-007, and I'll read the
       10    title:  A resolution of the Township of Tobyhanna
       11    Board of Supervisors authorizing to file a grant
       12    application for land use planning project on behalf
       13    of Coolbaugh, Tunkhannock, and Tobyhanna Townships
       14    and Mount Pocono Borough, and also allocate our
       15    township share of funds to the total project cost.
       16                    We're acting as the agent for the
       17    grant application for the regional planning group.
       18                    MS. PICKARD:  I had a question on
       19    that because that was at the end of the day.  Pat
       20    had modified that just to have us on that, but we
       21    are the lead applicant filing the grant for the
       22    four municipalities.  So would we need to have
       23    the --
       24                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  No.  That would be
       25    fine.

        1                    MS. PICKARD:  Okay.  I'll second the

       10                    MR. KEENER:  I vote in favor.
       11                    MR. KERRICK:  Donny?

       13                    MR. KERRICK:  Hugh?
       14                    MR. LAMBERTON:  I vote in favor.
       15                    MR. KERRICK:  Heidi?
       16                    MS. PICKARD:  I vote in favor.

       18                    Next item, Resolution 2009-008,
       19    Stillwater Lake dam project, H20 PA grant.
       20                    Anyone here represent Stillwater
       21    Lake?
       22                    MS. PICKARD:  I had received a call
       23    from Tom Harrington representing the Boy Scouts.
       24    And they had attempted to get financing in the
       25    state budget and there were some problems with

                                                               22
        1    that.  They decided, in dealing with the
        2    legislators, that they wanted to go through the H20
        3    PA grant and go for 75 percent of the cost of the
        4    dam which is the 1.312500 number that's in the
        5    resolution.  And it would require that the township
        6    act as the applicant to funnel those grant moneys
        7    to repair the Camp Minsi Dam.
        8                    MR. KERRICK:  What is our role in
        9    that as far as funneling it?  Do we have to audit
       10    it or if we receive the grant do we just pass it on
       11    to the scouts?
       12                    MS. PICKARD:  Well, you know, when
       13    we get down to Lake Naomi Pedestrian Trail, we're
       14    doing that currently for Lake Naomi.  It will be
       15    probably the same general procedure.  We'll have to
       16    actually do the bidding for it.  It's our -- my
       17    understanding that the Boy Scouts are covering
       18    that; we're just acting as the applicant.
       19                    I talked to Mike Carroll as far as
       20    whether we would be charged with applying for this
       21    grant and it would preclude us from receiving other
       22    grants.  He said he did not believe so, that
       23    everybody was aware that it was the Boy Scouts
       24    applying for this money.  So everything would be
       25    done.  They have their engineering and their legal

                                                               23
        1    staff.  Obviously our solicitor would have to --
        2                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Yeah.  I'm
        3    thinking --
        4                    MR. KERRICK:  My question is, is
        5    that a yes or a no?  Do we have to audit the money,
        6    et cetera, et cetera?  Do we do payouts or do we
        7    hand the money over?  I need a yes or no there.
        8                    MS. PICKARD:  Well, we're going to
        9    get to that when we get to Lake Naomi.  We can come
       10    up with an agreement to require the Boy Scouts to
       11    do that if it's required.
       12                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Yeah.  I'm thinking
       13    there will probably need to be a grant application
       14    agreement between the township and the Boy Scouts.
       15    Now, depending upon what kind of grant it is, I
       16    don't know if it's a reimbursement type grant or if
       17    it's -- it most likely is a reimbursement type
       18    grant which, you know, typically when the work is
       19    done you get reimbursed, and if the Boy Scouts are
       20    performing the work or having a contractor do the
       21    work, the completion of the work, and then like a
       22    certification saying that this amount has been
       23    extended on this part of the project.
       24                    And then we send it in to whoever's
       25    providing the grant money and requesting to get

                                                               24
        1    reimbursed.  And then they will probably provide
        2    the reimbursement to the township as the guarantee
        3    and the township will disburse it to the Boy Scouts
        4    or whoever performs the work on the property.
        5                    MR. KEENER:  John, this is a new
        6    program but it's, I'm sure, probably going to be
        7    similar to the Redevelopment Assistance Capital
        8    Program where it is a reimbursement program.
        9    They'll make the application for payment and it
       10    would be audited through probably the office of the
       11    budget, which is the state.  So I would imagine
       12    that they would be putting it through their books.
       13                    MR. KERRICK:  So basically we're
       14    just the agent?
       15                    MR. KEENER:  We're a pass-through --
       16                    MR. KERRICK:  That's all I wanted, a
       17    yes or no.  I didn't know if we had to, you know,
       18    use our staff to --
       19                    MR. KEENER:  This is a completely
       20    new program so I don't know if we know specifically
       21    but that's the assumption that I think we could
       22    make.
       23                    MS. PICKARD:  One of the things that
       24    we did find out with Lake Naomi today is that
       25    PennDOT is going to pay the contractor directly in

                                                               25
        1    that case.  So in that case we're not gonna have
        2    the funds channeled through us, they will be
        3    directly reimbursed by PennDOT.
        4                    I'll make a motion that we approve
        5    Resolution 2009-008.
        6                    MR. LAMBERTON:  I'll second the
        7    motion.
        8                    MR. KERRICK:  Motion and second.
        9                    Questions or comments from the
       10    board?
       11                    Questions or comments from the
       12    public on the motion?
       13                    MS. PICKARD:  I just have one
       14    comment on that.  Could we add that with -- modify
       15    that to say that we would enter into a grant
       16    agreement with Camp Minsi?
       17                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  The resolution?
       18                    MS. PICKARD:  Would that be part of
       19    the resolution or is that just something we could
       20    do separately?
       21                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Can I see the one
       22    that you have?  Yeah.  I mean, I think this would
       23    cover it, but you could also make -- your motion
       24    would be pending an additional --
       25                    MR. KEENER:  If this covers it, I

                                                               26
        1    think we're fine.
        2                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Yeah.  I mean, it's
        3    authorizing you to enter into all documents and
        4    agreements.
        5                    MR. KEENER:  That's with the CFA.
        6                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Yeah.  I see what
        7    you're saying.
        8                    MR. KEENER:  Part of the minutes, we
        9    want to have an agreement.
       10                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  So I would just make
       11    the amendment that it would also be authorizing you
       12    to enter into all documents and agreements with Boy
       13    Scouts --
       14                    MR. KEENER:  Camp Minsi.
       15                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Camp Minsi.
       16                    MR. KEENER:  Boys Scouts Camp Minsi
       17    Trails.
       18                    MR. KERRICK:  Any questions from the
       19    public on the motion?
       20                    Call the vote.
       21                    Jamie?
       22                    MR. KEENER:  I vote in favor.

       24                    MR. MOYER:  I vote in favor.

                                                               27
        1                    MR. LAMBERTON:  I vote in favor.
        2                    MR. KERRICK:  Heidi?
        3                    MS. PICKARD:  I vote in favor.
        4                    MR. KERRICK:  And I'll vote in
        5    favor.  Motion carried.
        6                    Next item on the agenda, Aquatic
        7    Facility Design, pool drains proposal.  Basically
        8    we need a motion to enter into an agreement with
        9    Aquatic for our pool drains.
       10                    Did you review that, Pat?
       11                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  This is -- it's my
       12    understanding that it's based upon that
       13    December 19, 2008 letter from Aquatic Facility
       14    Design providing you with an estimate for them to
       15    assess your pool and the need for those drains, for
       16    a projected cost estimate of $2,500.  However, it
       17    also states that it's an estimate only and that all
       18    billing will be based on an hourly rate of $95 per
       19    man hour.
       20                    So if you want to -- I don't know if
       21    you want to consider making a condition onto this
       22    that it does not go over a certain amount, I would
       23    recommend it.
       24                    MR. KERRICK:  You want to put that
       25    in a motion, Jaime?

                                                               28
        1                    MR. KEENER:  Yeah.  I'll make a
        2    motion that we approve the Aquatic Facility
        3    Design's proposal based on an hourly billing rate
        4    not to exceed $2,500 without having supervisor
        5    approval.
        6                    MR. KERRICK:  Motion on the floor.
        7                    Do we have a second?
        8                    MR. MOYER:  I'll second.
        9                    MR. KERRICK:  Motion and second.

                                                               29
        1    Pointe driveway layout revision.
        2                    Anyone here for Keswick Pointe?
        3                    Are they expecting us to take action
        4    on this, this evening?
        5                    MS. PICKARD:  I believe so.
        6                    MR. KEENER:  I don't know.  If
        7    they're not here, I don't think we should.
        8                    MR. KERRICK:  You want to hold that
        9    and go through the rest of the agenda in case they
       10    do show?
       11                    MR. KEENER:  That would be fine.
       12                    MR. KERRICK:  We'll hold that one.
       13                    Next on our agenda we have pickup
       14    truck purchase discussion.  As we discussed at our
       15    work session, we have a pickup that we need to
       16    replace.  I believe -- Ed, do you have anything you
       17    want to comment on?  Did you pass everything up
       18    here?
       19                    MR. EDWARD TUTRONE:  Yeah, you have
       20    all the proposals.
       21                    MS. PICKARD:  We received two bids
       22    or two state contracts from Warnock Fleet in the
       23    amount of 18526.61.  And from Day Automotive
       24    Resources, in the amount of 17,949.  Are they
       25    identical?

                                                               30
        1                    MR. EDWARD TUTRONE:  Yeah.  They're
        2    identical trucks.  Both are COSTARS contracts.
        3                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  I'm sorry, what are
        4    they?
        5                    MR. EDWARD TUTRONE:  Both identical
        6    trucks under the COSTARS contract.
        7                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Okay, the state
        8    contract.
        9                    MR. EDWARD TUTRONE:  Yes.
       10                    MR. KEENER:  Why does one say
       11    Contract 024 and the other 026?
       12                    MR. EDWARD TUTRONE:  I don't know.
       13    They both told me they didn't need a number when I
       14    talked to them on the phone, but they were both
       15    COSTARS contracts.
       16                    MR. LAMBERTON:  Again, please.
       17                    MR. KEENER:  The numbers --
       18                    MR. LAMBERTON:  Ed, repeat what you
       19    said, please.
       20                    MR. EDWARD TUTRONE:  They both told
       21    me that they were under the COSTARS contract, which
       22    is where we buy -- it's a state contract.  I don't
       23    know, maybe it has something to do with two
       24    different dealers.  They may each have a different
       25    number assigned to them, but it is the identical

                                                               31
        1    truck.  Heidi has the specifications on the truck.
        2    It's a basic XLT Ford Ranger 4-by-4.  The only
        3    thing we added to it was the automatic transmission
        4    on both quotes.  The only reason why we want the
        5    XLT instead of the XL was the XLT was actually
        6    cheaper.
        7                    MS. PICKARD:  Could that be one of
        8    the reasons why those numbers are different, that
        9    one's an XL and one's an XLT?
       10                    MR. EDWARD TUTRONE:  No, they're
       11    both XLTs that you have in front of you.
       12                    MS. PICKARD:  Okay.  This is for
       13    the -- primarily for the sewage treatment plant, to
       14    replace the existing green pickup?
       15                    MR. KERRICK:  The existing.  Yeah.
       16                    What's the board's pleasure?
       17                    MR. KEENER:  Have you dealt with Day
       18    or Warnock, either of them?
       19                    MR. EDWARD TUTRONE:  We've dealt
       20    with both of them.  Warnock is -- when we bought
       21    the F-150 last year, we bought it from Warnock.
       22    And in two thousand, I want to say, 2, 2003, we
       23    bought the F-450 utility by -- that came from
       24    Fleet.
       25                    MR. KEENER:  And any issues with

                                                               32
        1    Day?
        2                    MR. EDWARD TUTRONE:  No.  No issues
        3    with either one.
        4                    MR. KERRICK:  No issues with either
        5    one.  The majority of the police vehicles come out
        6    of Warnock and have when we had the Tobyhanna
        7    Township Police.
        8                    MR. KEENER:  I'll make a motion we
        9    approve the bid for the XLT Ford Ranger for Day
       10    Automotive Resources in the amount of $17,949.
       11                    MS. PICKARD:  I'll second the
       12    motion, but if I can amend that to be from the
       13    sewer, that that's being purchased from the sewer.
       14                    MR. KEENER:  That's fine.
       15                    MR. KERRICK:  Motion and second on
       16    the floor.
       17                    Any questions or comments from the
       18    board?
       19                    MR. KEENER:  Just a comment.  You
       20    know, it's the cheaper of the two and it's to be
       21    delivered within 60 to 90 days versus 90 to 120.
       22                    MR. KERRICK:  Thank you for your
       23    comment.
       24                    Any questions or comments from the
       25    public on the motion?

        2                    Jamie?
        3                    MR. KEENER:  I vote in favor.
        4                    MR. KERRICK:  Donny?
        5                    MR. MOYER:  I vote in favor.
        6                    MR. KERRICK:  Hugh?
        7                    MR. LAMBERTON:  I vote in favor.
        8                    MR. KERRICK:  Heidi?
        9                    MS. PICKARD:  I vote in favor.
       10                    MR. KERRICK:  I'll vote in favor.
       11    Motion carried.
       12                    Does anyone represent B'nai Harim,
       13    request for waiver of land development?
       14                    As you recall, last week we had a
       15    request for a land development waiver.  I believe
       16    they wanted to put a thousand square feet pavilion.
       17                    What's the board's pleasure?  We
       18    have no one representing the applicant.  Do you
       19    want to take action?
       20                    MR. KEENER:  Their request is to
       21    issue a building permit.  They didn't request a
       22    waiver of land development, but I wouldn't
       23    recommend it anyway.
       24                    MR. KERRICK:  I thought -- didn't we
       25    have a letter?

                                                               34
        1                    MR. KEENER:  Yeah, but their letter
        2    is requesting issuance of a building permit.
        3                    MR. KERRICK:  I apologize.  The
        4    letter that they said they were going to forward
        5    last Monday was a request of a waiver of land
        6    development.
        7                    MR. KEENER:  Yeah.
        8                    MR. KERRICK:  What's your motion,
        9    Jamie, or do we have one?
       10                    MR. LAMBERTON:  I'd table it.
       11                    MS. PICKARD:  We're looking for a
       12    township building permit rather than a commercial
       13    permit, is what that says.  That doesn't --
       14                    MR. KERRICK:  There's a motion on
       15    the floor to table from Hugh?
       16                    Is there a second?
       17                    MR. MOYER:  I second.
       18                    MR. KERRICK:  Motion and second to
       19    table.
       20                    Questions or comments from the
       21    board?

        9    Motion carried.
       10                    Next on our agenda, Lake Naomi
       11    Pedestrian Trail.
       12                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  Good evening,
       13    Dave Albright representing Lake Naomi Club.  See,
       14    this is under new business.
       15                    MR. KERRICK:  This could be under
       16    ongoing business.
       17                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  It is ongoing
       18    business really.  Would the board like an overview
       19    of the project?  Are you all familiar with the
       20    pedestrian bridge?
       21                    MS. PICKARD:  We should get an
       22    overview.  We have a lot of new members.  It's been
       23    going since 2003.
       24                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  I just pulled
       25    this out of the bid documents, but we --

                                                               36
        1                    MR. KEENER:  I believe we just
        2    approved the right-of-way stuff.
        3                    MS. PICKARD:  Yeah.
        4                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  So the single
        5    lane bridge that's here on 423, you're looking at
        6    about 40 feet upstream closer to the spillway, the
        7    Lake Naomi spillway, where the proposed 100-foot
        8    stand prefab bridge would go, and there would be
        9    abutments that would be built on either side of
       10    that.  And there'd also be approximately 1200 feet
       11    of trail that would come from 423 and end up at
       12    Woodland Avenue.  So that's the location of the
       13    project.
       14                    And what we're working on is,
       15    there's a transportation enhancement grant and it's
       16    $242,000, I believe, that has been approved.  And
       17    where we're at in the process is, there are two
       18    things that PennDOT called me late last week and
       19    said, we need to get this project moving forward.
       20    There's two things we need:  One is the
       21    right-of-way clearance.  They didn't have the
       22    right-of-way clearance yet.  That was the easement
       23    that was just recorded Monday morning, okay?
       24                    MS. PICKARD:  Today.
       25                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  That's today.

                                                               37
        1    It's been a long day.  So that easement has been
        2    recorded.
        3                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  You're going to
        4    provide the township with a copy of that?
        5                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  I already did,
        6    actually.  I provided two copies.  I provided a
        7    copy to the engineer and also to Heidi, and I
        8    forwarded onto McCormick Taylor; Brandi
        9    Rotts (phonetic) is the representative for the
       10    PennDOT project, and I forwarded that to her today
       11    via a fax.  So that information has been
       12    distributed.
       13                    Second piece of information the
       14    state was asking for was the bid documents; project
       15    manual and the bid documents.  I met with Engineer
       16    McHale and Secretary Pickard, on Friday we met and
       17    also this morning.  And we marked up this document
       18    looking at what the township has used in the past
       19    on bidding documents, because what our engineer,
       20    D.J. Hodson, from Langan had put together wasn't
       21    specific to what Tobyhanna Township would have in
       22    the bid.  Okay?  So this is marked up.  It's going
       23    back to our engineer, and what we'd like to do
       24    because, of course, we want to show the state --
       25                    MR. KEENER:  Dave, can I just see a

                                                               38
        1    copy of it while you keep talking?
        2                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  There's some
        3    handwritten notes in there, but that was based on
        4    today's meeting.
        5                    MR. KEENER:  Most of the stuff is in
        6    the front end?
        7                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  Well, there's a
        8    considerable -- you know, part of -- one of the
        9    discussions that we had today, for instance --
       10    Jamie, and you're under the page of project
       11    directory -- who is the owner of the project?  So
       12    we listed -- because the township is the grant
       13    applicant, the township is, but also the Lake Naomi
       14    Club is.  There's a shared responsibility there.
       15    There's an indemnification agreement that the Lake
       16    Naomi signed with the township in addition to the
       17    easement that reflects that Lake Naomi Club would
       18    be responsible for maintaining the trail and the
       19    bridge moving forward.
       20                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Well, the township
       21    has an easement right-of-way through the trail, but
       22    the title owner is Lake Naomi.
       23                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  Correct.
       24                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Right.
       25                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  Correct.  But

                                                               39
        1    as far as -- the project needs to be bid through
        2    the township.  So with that, that's why we
        3    identified both in terms of ownership.  And at the
        4    meeting today we discussed that I need to take this
        5    back to Langan Engineers to update it and then we
        6    would forward it to the township, and if the
        7    township was so inclined to have the solicitor
        8    review the document, to make sure it's consistent
        9    with the township requirements.
       10                    And that's basically what I'm
       11    looking for, is authorization, so you get this out
       12    to bid as soon as it's updated by the engineer and
       13    reviewed and okayed by the township solicitor.
       14                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Now, you're with?
       15                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  I'm with -- I'm
       16    representing the Lake Naomi Club.  I'm
       17    subcontracting with Lehigh Valley Technical
       18    Associates.
       19                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Because there's
       20    also, I see, the township's not going to be over --
       21    it's not my understanding that the township's going
       22    to be overseeing the construction of this, right?
       23    It's going to be Lake Naomi's responsibility?
       24                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  That is
       25    correct.

                                                               40
        1                    MS. PICKARD:  No.  And we were
        2    discussing that today.
        3                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  So they're similar
        4    to the previous discussion on the Stillwater Dam.
        5    There should be an agreement between the township
        6    and Lake Naomi indicating, you know, that Lake
        7    Naomi, number one, is basically the contractor for
        8    this project and that they would be overseeing all
        9    the construction.  Number two, that they will
       10    likely be reimbursing the township for any cost
       11    relating to the project that the township incurs in
       12    and outside of the grant agreement -- or the grant
       13    funding that has come in.
       14                    Is that funding already here?
       15                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  No, it is not.
       16                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  It's just been
       17    approved.
       18                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  It's just been
       19    approved.  It's very similar to what you described
       20    earlier in terms of the way that the payment would
       21    take place.  The way it's proposed in here under
       22    the directory, Lake Naomi's engineer would be the
       23    inspector.  They would be inspecting the
       24    construction.  The contractor, who we don't know
       25    who that's going to be yet, would then submit a

                                                               41
        1    bill.  That bill would be submitted to the township
        2    for payment.  That would go -- be forwarded to
        3    PennDOT, okay, along with the certification that
        4    all the construction took place according to the
        5    plans, according to specs.  Okay?  So then PennDOT
        6    actually ends up forwarding a check here, according
        7    to the information that I have.  It's actually in
        8    the front sleeve, excuse me, Jamie.
        9                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Lake Naomi's
       10    responsible for all the permits that may be
       11    applicable to the project, all the access that they
       12    need to perform the construction?
       13                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  Correct.
       14    Correct.
       15                    MR. KEENER:  There's some issues
       16    with this because of the responsibilities of the
       17    owner.  Who is going to receive the bids, Tobyhanna
       18    Township?
       19                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  Correct.
       20                    MR. KEENER:  Who is going to review
       21    the bids?
       22                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  It would be a
       23    shared review.  It has to be.  I mean, Lake Naomi's
       24    willing to take on the review of it and make the
       25    recommendation, but ultimately it would be the

                                                               42
        1    board of supervisors that would award the bid since
        2    it's coming out from the township.
        3                    MR. KEENER:  But we also have the
        4    right to reject any bids?
        5                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  Yes.  That's in
        6    there and in multiple places.
        7                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  I haven't seen those
        8    yet.  I'm assuming you're going to -- I guess once
        9    you make whatever revisions you have to make.
       10                    MR. KEENER:  Are we going to also
       11    share the responsibility of awarding the contract?
       12                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  Yes.  You would
       13    be awarding the contract at a -- well, you would be
       14    awarding the bid, and then in terms of the
       15    signature of the contract, yes, there would be.
       16                    MR. KEENER:  But I think there's
       17    going to have to be some clarification because if
       18    we do ownership with Tobyhanna Township and Lake
       19    Naomi Club, it affects this whole thing because at
       20    the very front it says Tobyhanna Township herein
       21    after referred to as owner.
       22                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Right.  That's why I
       23    brought up the fact that we don't really have
       24    ownership rights in the easement.
       25                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  Well, Jamie,

                                                               43
        1    that was worded that way prior -- today's meeting
        2    you see that I added -- that was at the
        3    recommendation of Engineer McHale that we add Lake
        4    Naomi Club as a co-owner of the project.
        5                    MR. KEENER:  Well, that's my
        6    concern, though, is having co-owners --
        7                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  I had it
        8    listed, as you can see in the typed print, the
        9    owner was Tobyhanna Township.  The project
       10    coordinator was the Lake Naomi Club.  The engineer
       11    was Lake Naomi's engineer.
       12                    MR. KEENER:  Right.  But I think by
       13    just saying both are owners that affects the whole
       14    front end documents because --
       15                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  I agree with
       16    you.  It hasn't been updated based on that
       17    suggestion.
       18                    MR. KEENER:  Well, and I don't know
       19    if -- I just have a concern where there's two
       20    parties as owner having a responsibility, all of
       21    these responsibilities; because if one agrees and
       22    the other doesn't, then there's a problem.  I
       23    mean --
       24                    MR. KERRICK:  But I think --
       25                    MR. KEENER:  Do we have to be the

                                                               44
        1    owner?
        2                    MR. KERRICK:  I think, correct me if
        3    I'm wrong, this has been going on for years, that
        4    we had to be the owner --
        5                    MS. PICKARD:  Yeah.
        6                    MR. KERRICK:  -- for the money from
        7    PennDOT.
        8                    MS. PICKARD:  The deed of easement
        9    was according to (inaudible) and then that spells
       10    out that the guarantor --
       11                    MR. KERRICK:  Pat hasn't even
       12    reviewed this.
       13                    MR. KEENER:  Well, the guarantee is
       14    one thing, but owner is something completely
       15    different.
       16                    MR. KERRICK:  I don't recall, but I
       17    know there was an issue with PennDOT.
       18                    MS. PICKARD:  Well, they -- you
       19    know, all this was predicated on this easement.
       20    That's why this has hung out for so long because
       21    PennDOT wanted the easement saying that we had that
       22    clearance.
       23                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  They wanted the
       24    right-of-way clearance.
       25                    MS. PICKARD:  The liability and the

                                                               45
        1    maintenance is held with the grantor and not us as
        2    the guarantee.  I'm not sure how else we should
        3    be --
        4                    MR. KEENER:  Well, then under Item 2
        5    here, under the bid form it says enter into a
        6    contract with the property owner by executing
        7    agreement on the basis of this bid.
        8                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  The property owner
        9    would be Lake Naomi, so that would be the -- kind
       10    of the agreement.  See, in my head -- I think --
       11    are you the contact person for Lake Naomi for me or
       12    is there someone else I should be talking to?
       13                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  Wendy Freeman.
       14                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Okay.
       15                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  That, Jamie,
       16    was from -- the way this has been reworked, and
       17    that's a good pickup there, but that was left in
       18    there.  But the way the total document reads now
       19    there's an agreement that would be signed with
       20    Tobyhanna Township.
       21                    MR. KEENER:  Yeah, and --
       22                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  There would have to
       23    be.
       24                    MR. MOYER:  Yeah.  He needs to move
       25    that along.

                                                               46
        1                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  In the
        2    appendices there's a standard agreement that
        3    Tobyhanna Township would sign with the contract.  I
        4    don't know any other way that -- because it has to
        5    be bid through the township.  How can the township
        6    bid it and then it gets awarded and then the
        7    agreement's signed with another entity?  I mean, if
        8    there is a way to do that, I think we would be open
        9    to that.
       10                    MR. KEENER:  I'm not saying that has
       11    to be done, but I just think it needs to be a
       12    little clearer who the owner is and what the
       13    agreement is between the two and who has
       14    responsibility for what.
       15                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Right.  And I don't
       16    think that document -- I haven't seen that document
       17    between the township and Lake Naomi, but there
       18    needs to be one.
       19                    MS. PICKARD:  What we have is the
       20    indemnification agreement and the deed of easement.
       21                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Okay.  The
       22    indemnification agreement doesn't cover what I'm
       23    talking about.
       24                    MR. KERRICK:  Your time frame
       25    doesn't allow to have everybody review it for the

                                                               47
        1    next meeting, you're looking to get this bid as
        2    soon as possible?
        3                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  Well, the
        4    concern that I have is the calling out from PennDOT
        5    honestly was, if this project doesn't get off the
        6    dime and move forward and get the right-of-way
        7    clearance and get the bid out, the funding is gonna
        8    be gone.  So we're at risk of all the engineering
        9    dollars that have been invested to date.
       10                    So although I can't stand here and
       11    guarantee you that that is gonna be -- my hope is
       12    that it's ready to go out by the end of this month,
       13    but I can't guarantee that, but it would help us to
       14    show good faith that we're ready to -- that the
       15    township is also ready to move forward.
       16                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Well, you're going
       17    to go back to PennDOT with the right-of-way access
       18    that you just recorded today?
       19                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  Yes, I am.
       20                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  So that's one of
       21    their concerns.  And I think you can go back and
       22    say that you had another meeting with the township
       23    and, you know, there's some revisions needed in the
       24    bidding document and an agreement needed between
       25    the township and Lake Naomi.  And whether or not

                                                               48
        1    that can be done, you know, before next month's
        2    meeting -- I think it can definitely be done before
        3    next month's meeting before, you know, we get on
        4    the ball.  But I think PennDOT probably wants that
        5    stuff to be in place not only in the bidding
        6    documents but also the agreement between the
        7    township and Lake Naomi before, you know, the
        8    project gets underway.
        9                    MR. KEENER:  And that may clear it
       10    up, the agreement between the township and Lake
       11    Naomi, but until that happens I still think that
       12    should --
       13                    MS. PICKARD:  Would we be able to do
       14    that subject to getting an agreement and your
       15    approval on those documents and Bob McHale's, if
       16    necessary --
       17                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Uhm --
       18                    MS. PICKARD:  -- to authorize the
       19    advertising?
       20                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Oh, to authorize the
       21    bidding documents?
       22                    MS. PICKARD:  All we want to do is
       23    really authorize the advertisement of the bid
       24    subject to pulling this together here and getting
       25    an agreement together.

                                                               49
        1                    MR. MOYER:  Getting an agreement.
        2                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  Yeah, you can do
        3    that.  That's fine.
        4                    MS. PICKARD:  I mean, we were just
        5    looking at best case.  We didn't think that we
        6    could advertise, probably not before March 2.  And
        7    it had to be advertised three times; March 2, 9,
        8    and 16.  We wouldn't be -- we were shooting to get
        9    this, you know, awarded in April but we wanted this
       10    cleaned up before we even got the advertising out,
       11    is what we were --
       12                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  I fully
       13    acknowledge that there's more that needs to be done
       14    with this document, but when we were talking, we
       15    just want to move it forward as quickly as we can.
       16                    MR. KEENER:  I'll make a motion that
       17    we authorize advertisement of the Lake Naomi
       18    Tobyhanna Pedestrian Bridge and Walkway subject to
       19    revisions to the project manual relative to
       20    ownership and subject to township engineer's
       21    concurrence and our solicitor's concurrence with
       22    revisions.
       23                    MS. PICKARD:  And an agreement?
       24                    MR. KEENER:  And an approved
       25    agreement between -- or subject to an agreement to

                                                               50
        1    be approved between Lake Naomi Club and Tobyhanna
        2    Township.
        3                    MR. KERRICK:  Motion on the floor.
        4                    Do we have a second?
        5                    MR. MOYER:  I'll second.
        6                    MR. KERRICK:  Who seconded, Donny?
        7                    Motion and second.
        8                    Questions or comments from the
        9    board?
       10                    Questions or comments from the
       11    public on the motion?
       12                    Call the vote.
       13                    Jamie?
       14                    MR. KEENER:  I vote in favor.
       15                    MR. KERRICK:  Donny?
       16                    MR. MOYER:  I vote in favor.
       17                    MR. KERRICK:  Hugh?
       18                    MR. LAMBERTON:  I vote in favor.
       19                    MR. KERRICK:  Heidi?
       20                    MS. PICKARD:  I vote in favor.
       21                    MR. KERRICK:  I vote in favor.
       22    Motion carried.
       23                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  Thank you.
       24                    MR. KERRICK:  Thank you.
       25                    MR. LAMBERTON:  Do you want this,

                                                               51
        1    Dave?
        2                    MR. DAVID ALBRIGHT:  Oh, thank you.
        3                    MR. KERRICK:  You want to jump back
        4    to Keswick Pointe?
        5                    MS. PICKARD:  I don't know what you
        6    want to do with that.
        7                    MR. KERRICK:  We were happy with
        8    Keswick Pointe.  I'd like to see more detail on the
        9    other side.
       10                    MS. PICKARD:  For our work session?
       11                    MR. KERRICK:  Well, I'd like to have
       12    something before the work session if we could.  I
       13    think we should tell them what our concerns are.
       14                    I don't think we need a motion for
       15    that, do we, Pat?
       16                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  We're on Pocono
       17    Motor Sports?
       18                    MR. KERRICK:  No, no, we're past
       19    Pocono Motor Sports.  We're up to Keswick Pointe.
       20                    MR. ARMSTRONG:  I'm sorry, that's
       21    who I was thinking of.  Yeah.  I mean, if there's
       22    concerns of the supervisors on the proposed
       23    amendment of that driveway and they're not here
       24    tonight to discuss it or explain why or what
       25    they're doing --

                                                               52
        1                    MR. KERRICK:  But if we list those
        2    concerns and give them to Heidi and we get a letter
        3    back to Mr. Hannig --
        4                    MS. PICKARD:  You want to list them
        5    now on the record or they'll just tell me what they
        6    are?
        7                    MR. KEENER:  Well, two of the
        8    issues.  One is access for the truck.  Currently
        9    they have to back into the plant.  They're showing
       10    a pull in movement.  Second is the roadway marking
       11    between the north and the south outparcels.  It
       12    needs to be modified to remove the restriction for
       13    the northbound access from the southbound or from
       14    the southerly parcel.
       15                    MS. PICKARD:  Is that cross
       16    hatching?  Is that the cross hatching?
       17                    MR. KEENER:  Yes.  Well, the line
       18    painting.
       19                    MR. KERRICK:  Wasn't there some
       20    discussion at the work session that Bob had to --
       21    they did add a stop sign there?
       22                    MR. KEENER:  Yes.  They added a stop
       23    sign and a stop bar.
       24                    (Discussion off the record.)
       25                    MR. KEENER:  Where does that access

                                                               53
        1    stop, John?  Did they put a limit on that, on the
        2    approved plan?
        3                    MR. KERRICK:  I'd have to review it.
        4                    MR. KEENER:  Ask Bob to take a look
        5    at that because if we have to pull up and back in,
        6    that makes them beyond the limit that they showed
        7    on the plan for access.
        8                    MR. KERRICK:  Anything else?
        9                    Anyone from the board have anything
       10    they wish to discuss?
       11                    Anyone from the public have anything
       12    they'd like to discuss with the board?  Anything?
       13                    Done?
       14                    MR. KEENER:  Done.
       15                    MR. KERRICK:  We're adjourned.
       16    Thank you for coming this evening.
       17                    (Meeting concluded at 8:01 p.m.)
